Patches the Spider — Bloodborne

Obtain the Tonsil Stone, the Beg for Life gesture and the +15% stamina rune.

• Enter the Forbidden Woods after Amelia.
• Then reach the first and second floors of the Lecture Building.

• After the blood moon, only a few windows remain usable if you have never met Patches.
• For his departure to the Chalices, let his dialogue finish completely: reading a single line is not enough.
