The extra field-of-view on the left and right side of the screen can help immensely when figuring out where Clara drop next. If you're playing on an emulator, consider using a widescreen hack.The player should stock up on as much health items as possible before entering the room - if needed, have Brown search for them since there are some in the chapter.Some useful preparations before fighting her: During the battle, Clara's laughter can be heard, which morphs into screaming and crying, resembling mood swings. It could also be interpreted as a representation of bulimia, a mental illness that is very commonly co-morbid with depression and anxiety. The vomiting could be interpreted as a case of morning sickness, a result of pregnancy, from the possible sexual abuse she suffered from Hoffman. The amount of health she has left sometimes determines the spill of the vomit.
Her attacks consist of swinging her arms in order to hit anyone in the way, and vomiting a toxic, green substance on the floor. The rope may also symbolize Clara's wish to "keep her legs together" or even to not have a human reproductive system for Hoffman to violate in the first place, which may be why she and Diana had dreamt of becoming mermaids.

She is bound by a rope, which could symbolize Clara's inability to be free and escape the orphanage and her sexual abuse by Hoffman.

The boss appears to very much resemble Clara in a horrific mermaid form. The rope is attached to a strange, pulley-like mechanism which starts to spin, and the Mermaid Princess is then lifted up from the bed via the rope.Ĭlara's "gills" resemble self-inflicted cuts. The battle occurs in a room with a bed looking very similar, if not, the same as the one on Hoffman's study, where the scene after the battle takes place this may be another hint at Clara's backstory.Ī pair of feet attached to a long rope are viewed at the head of the bed.
Before the boss battle, Clara is seen being led miserably into a bedroom by Hoffman.
