There’s a slight delay between each attack, which can bait you into attacking before it’s safe. She will occasionally switch this from a three-attack combo to a four-attack combo . If her third attack is instead a cross-body stab, she’ll always follow that up with an upward slash.

Beneath the stairs, you will find a corpse carrying one Golden Rune [3] . The path dead-ends on this side, so head back up the stairs and head across the way and down the next set of wooden stairs.
