Notes
Where to Find Anastasia, Tarnished-Eater:
Right in front of the Smoldering ChurchGrace in CaelidRegion. [Map Link]
As you approach the Corpse-Stench ShackLandmark, at the end of the road leading to Mt. GelmirRegion. [Map Link]
In the Consecrated SnowfieldGrace, along the frozen river southwest of Ordina, Liturgical TownGrace, on the straight-line path between Ordina and Yelough Anix RuinsLandmark. The best landmark is a corpse sitting in a chair on the river's south bank holding a Stonesword Key. [Map Link]
Deals Standard damage.
Attacks only with her Butchering Knife.
Uses Wild Strikes in her first & second invasion.
During her third invasion, she uses Prayerful Strike.
Parryable: Yes (excluding jumping attacks)
She is resistant to Slash damage, but vulnerable to Strike and Pierce damage.
Like most Invaders, Status Effects are a viable option, including Death Blight.
Game versions <1.05 may experience issues with triggering Anastasia invading (commonly her 2nd & 3rd invasions), as well as several other invasions. Thankfully, NPC invasion bugs have been properly fixed in the 1.05 update.
Wears the Finger Maiden Set.
Likely a not so subtle reference to the recurring “Butcher NPCs” found in other Souls titles, with many serving as invaders, such as Maneater Mildred and Melinda the Butcher.
