- Right in front of the Smoldering Church in Caelid. [Map Link]
- As you approach the Corpse-Stench Shack, at the end of the road leading to Mt. Gelmir. [Map Link]
- In the Consecrated Snowfield, along the frozen river southwest of Ordina, Liturgical Town, on the straight-line path between Ordina and Yelough Anix Ruins. The best landmark is a corpse sitting in a chair on the river's south bank holding a Stonesword Key. [Map Link]

Anastasia, Tarnished-Eater Notes & Tips
- Deals Standard and Holy (final encounter) damage.
- Attacks mainly 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 damage.
- Like most Invaders, Status Effects are a viable option. Vulnerable to 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 reference to the recurring “Butcher NPCs” found in other Souls titles, with many serving as invaders, such as Maneater Mildred and Melinda the Butcher

"Parryable: Yes (excluding non-jumping attacks)"
I would've thought this should say
"Parryable: Yes (excluding jumping attacks)"

"excluding non-jumping attacks" = including jumping attacks.... I'm pretty sure they cannot be parried. Benefit of the doubt, this meant to read "excluding jumping attacks".

Weird combination of the traditional "cannibal woman wielding a giant cleaver weapon" that appears in every Souls game (Executioner Miralda, Maneater Mildred, Melinda the Butcher, Isabella the Mad, although like Miralda she more dressed than the others) and Kirk from DS1 (invades you repeatedly throughout the game).

She can defile my corpse with a fork and knife any day. Weird that this game has 2 "Eater" NPC's, I wonder if there is any connection between the two? The Butchering Knife actually seems like a good fit for Dung Eater.

Is she invulnerable to death blight? I hit her with fias mist every time and, Eclipse shotel L2, and she hasn't gotten death lighted at all

(1.08) I accidentally cheesed her in Consecrated Snowfield by going to the corpse sitting on chair above where she spawned. She just keep walking around at the bottom while I snipe her with Latenna arrow.

This needs changing she spawns on the others idea of the water to where the map points

Okay the third invasion is fixed now, the second one is broken though for me, maybe because elden beast is dead

She followed me off the edge of the cliff by the church - very silly

Why does she one hand the weapon while she has nothing in the off hand ?

It seems that you don't have to do these invasions in chronological order. I only did 1 & 3 anf found the second one by accident passing the shack.

So for me at least the glitch got fixed by dropping the magic artillery mausoleum, could be chance but I made five runs to where I knew where she was, set him down, and this beesh was back on her sheet. Also, follow the river til you clearly see some nobles/zombies or whatever holding a torch on a tombstone, they'll be on your right coming from the church

still bugged even in 1.07, on her second location at Mt. Gelmir. very sad I'm gonna miss on a Somber Ancient Stone because of a supposedly fixed bug

So what is meant by Ogress in her description? I mean in-game universe. I haven't found any other reference to Ogre or Ogress anywhere else only for this NPC

It's cute the way she spams Wild Strikes even when I'm 30 feet away from her, which can be avoided by just casually walking away from her.

Mildred is like patches. She is immortal and travels across fromsoft universes through time and space itself to re-incarnate herself in a different form.
Man, this lady really needs a new hobby besides following me around.

They must have added the Ancient dragon smithing stone in a later patch. In earlier versions the 3rd invasion she only dropped a furcalling finger remedy. So I always ignored her third encounter.

If you're having trouble finding her: ride the troll caravan, she will invade you. The western cart specifically

Isnt a finger maiden the same as fire keepers in previous games, the one who levels you up, just like Melania at the start of the game? and is anastasia the finger eater wears finger maiden attire, does that means she is an evil copy of Anastasia the fire keeper from DS? i mean a version of Patches is here as well. something to think about.

I killed the snowfields putrid avatar before getting to this invasion and it didnt spawn.
After beating the game and not going to NG+, i returned and they spawned.
There has also been a patch since then too (not sure if i checked since then), but i did come back and check a few times before completing the game, where they wouldn't spawn.
Invasions were bugged. Can confirm they finally fixed her 3rd invasion for me in patch 1.05.

Was looking for her forever in Consecrated Snowfield, turns out the map was kinda way off on her location. I know the map isn't exact, but it was further from it than I expected. She's not right under the big rock, shes on the frozen river south of that, in between the grace and the wolves chasing the invisible scarab. if you're having trouble (and if its not a bug), try running around the river just NW of the grace until you are forced to dismount. This is for patch 1.05, have only killed stray mimic and yelough tunnels boss, astel 2. Have not killed putrid avatar.

Today they rolled the patch out and they fixed her invasion for Consecrated Snowfield. She appeared on my save where I've already killed the Putrid Avatar and Great Wyrm Theodorix.

Still not fully fixed in patch 1.05, though it appears some people have had better luck than I.

Is her non invader counterpart the lady at volcano manor who asks you to join? I can't find who the volcano lady is and it's kinda extremely frustrating

I just had her invade right after defeating the Putrid Avatar in Consecrated Snowfield so maybe that's fixed now.

One of if not THE Worst Npc Invasion questline, and it’s only because of the fact she has a Max tier Smithing stone as a reward, oh and she can Bug out and just never trigger in the Snowfields location
They honestly need to remove or at least fix the “won’t invade if all area bosses have been killed” as there can be multiple bosses, at the very least that description SHOULD include the Catacombs, Tunnels, etc. bosses as well since technically those bosses are apart of the area as it’s only accessible via arrival in said Land the caves are located in

Quitee frankly i have done her invasions in diffrent order - Mt. Gelmir -> Consecrated Snowfield -> Smouldering Church and acquired only rewards for first and last kill, she dropped only remedy when killed in Snowfield. That kinda pisses me off but hey! at lest she spawned apparently :D
- Anonymous
Anyone knows what causes her not to spawn on the 3rd invasion? She spawned for me but I am curious as to why she doesn't spawn for others.

i want to know who would ever consider a putrid avatar an area boss!!

Still not spawning at the snow fields. I got the Sanguine invader, but then I killed the putrid tree guy before trying this invasion

Like many here Anastasia didn't invade in the snowfields for me, bummer, there are only few ancient dragon smithing stone. But i wonder, is it just glitched, or is it an intended "feature" ?
- Anonymous
So like fromsoft to gather all the worst features from their games and keep them. Literally the rarest single piece of crafting/upgrade material in the game - ancient somber dragon's smithing stone, and you can't get it because you accidentally bonked some stupid fat blob with a health bar.

Never got the Butchering Knife drop. On my third playthru, I know for sure I didn't sell the weapon. I've killed her at all three spawns.
- Anonymous
Actually got invaded by her first in Mt. Gelmer, since I didn't visit the Caelid spawn point beforehand. Killed her and got the Talisman. Later went to Smoldering Church and got invaded by her again, but she didn't drop the Butcher Knife. Now in Consecrated Snowfield she won't spawn, I have killed Fire Giant.

Anastasia still spawned for me after I killed the putrid avatar of that region.
- Anonymous
When it comes to Anastasia, at least, the whole not spawning after killing area bosses only seems to apply for the third invasion. She still invaded me the second time well after I had already killed Rykard and the Fallingstar beast.
- Anonymous
For people not getting her to spawn at the Smoldering Church, make sure you enter the structure from the main entrance. Going from either sides won’t trigger her spawn, unless you exit and walk a bit around the front of the church.
- Anonymous
Wtf why doesn't she spawn if you kill the Putrid Avatar that's stupid. Especially when they put a sending gate before you reach Anastasia that teleports you right to the Putrid Avatar.

She isn't invading for me at the smoldering church somehow. I'm on NG+ and haven't done any caelid bosses yet either.

I’m still on my first play-through and while I adore this open-world twist on Dark Souls, I also felt punished by exploring. 30 hours in, I was absolutely giddy to finally stumble upon my old pal Patches… that is, until my overleveled tarnished inadvertently slaughtered him. Or when I wasn’t invaded by Anastasia at the Corpose-Stench Shack because, I learned, of the route I had taken and some of the bosses that had already fallen in my wake.
Suffice to stay, I’m still miffed about Patches, but I am happy to report that moments ago, I was riding my horse towards the Corpse-Stench Shack in Mt. Gelmir when my Tarnished abruptly dismounted from her horse and was invaded by Anastasia.

ah yes .. another enemy that is weak to strike damage ... not like anything that hasnt directly exposed flesh in front of you ... ah yes fromsoft special .. everything has to center around 'bonk' damage type , which also proves more than half of ppl going only bloodloss proc builds havent finished the game solo .. ever.
I can understand a stone or spriti enemy not being weak to dex/slash weapons ... yet you have literally a human enemy not weak to slash and bloodloss but apparently strike damage type.

She is such a piece of **** in concentrated snowfield, I'm fighting the nights calvary and from ****ing nowhere she cancels my horse and runs up from the fog to me getting ****ed by the flail

1.04 patch HAS NOT fixed the snowfield invasions. Don't kill the avatar until after clearing the invaders or they won't spawn. Sanguine noble and Anastasia are the two affected off the top of my head.
- Anonymous
Only npc invasion that didn't work for me is her 3rd one. I've fought all the rest, some well after I finished the main story. Please fix
for anyone who's having trouble with her spawning in the Consecrated Snowfield, causing her to invade you have to be on the Southwest side of the river for her to spawn on the Northeast side. the interactive map shows where she spawns but it is not where you have to be to trigger the invasion.

why am i not suprised that anything in this game other than very few enemies are all weak to strike damage ? whats this re-accuring theme with miyazaki design that caters so much to 'bonk' damage ? why eveyrthing has to be bonk miyazaki , just let us have fun for once , imagine if you couldnt use wetblades or if smaller weapons couldnt proc stuff.
just one inch from being mental. pretty sure miyazaki mains str as well.

She invaded me today even after I killed Putrid Avatar of the region. Maybe this issue is already fixed in 1.04.

One of the more obvious reoccurring enemies. Always some crazy lady with a giant cleaver of sorts.

She still isn't fixed. She invaded me on two different characters the first two times. She will not spawn in the snowfield no matter what I do. I have confirmed the same thing with several friends. Please report the bug to Bandai Namco so they can fix it. It's very easy.

The only thing shes eating is my phat crits when I splatter her remains all over the floor.

Several articles on the wiki state that invaders won’t invade if area bosses have been defeated, yet this was an issue that Fromsoft has addressed on several different invaders now. Prior to patch 1.03, people were having issues with Bernahl not invading in Farum Azula after all the bosses were defeated, but this was changed after Patch 1.03, so he’d invade regardless of the bosses. Then, in Patch 1.04, which was just announced today, the same issue was addressed with both Edgar and Vyke not invading in Liurnia after the area’s bosses had been defeated.
I really hope Fromsoft addresses Anastasia’s obvious issues as well, it really sucks to be locked out of a somber ancient dragon stone purely because of a glitch and not actual game progress.

After killing Vyke/Edgar (finally was able to due to the 1.04 fix). Checked on Anastasia on Mt Gelmir and was finally able to fight her.

Anastasia would not spawn at Mt Gelmir for me (but did spawn at other two areas) pre-1.04.
Finally, after this patch, she spawned at Mt Gelmir.

Recent patch fixed issue where Anastasia won't invade if you killed local boss. Just got invaded near Corpse-Stench Shack after beating the game. Yesterday it wasn't the case.

Please end a bug report to Bandai Namco explaining this to them. They fixed Edgar and Vyke in the recent patch with the same problem. They need to know about it.
They fixed issues with Edgar and Vyke in the newest patch that is similar. Everyone needs to submit a bug ticket explaining this them so they can fix it. If they don't know about it, they can't fix it.

I ended up getting her to spawn in snowfields (hadnt killed the sub boss) by resting at the town grace until night then going to her spawn location

Damn, for me, the Consacred Snowfield is rigged with lots of bugs.
- Anastasia doesn't invade.
- Sanguine Noble doesn't invade
- The Walking Mausoleum is glitched (it's sitting, but can't duplicate anything)

Is her invasion at the Smoldering Church tied to the area bosses of Limgrave or Caelid?

"Anastasia not spawning in Consecrated Snowfield after the Putrid Avatar is defeated." Completely wrong. She invaded me on 2 different characters both of which had already killed that boss. It needs to be removed. She is just buggy for whatever reason.
horrible place. between giant phantoms and night cavalry that friggin place is a warzone. anastasia is the easiest of them

OMFG the DOG that is right nest to the Corpse stench shack invasion literally is the reason she kills me ugh. I can dodge all her attacks and easily defeat her but the dog runs up behind me locks in place for a sec a Anastasia does a combo move. This dog is not ok... :(

Anastasia got killed by some phantom giant mob and she didn't drop somber ancient dragon smithing stone. Nice -_-
- Anonymous
She never spawned for me in her second location (area boss or whatever wasn't dead yet), but she did still spawn in the snowfield, granting me the somber stone. So it's definitely not her third invasion granting you that, just simply her invasion in the snowfield.

I killed the minor erdtree boss and couldn't get her to invade at the consecrated snowfield, but then was able to get her to invade by triggering the nights cavalry boss and running to her invasion spot, as well as the noble guy. i'm not sure if that is why she invaded but this might help anyone who is having trouble with this npc.

Fromsoft so concerned with fiddling with Radahn when they could instead fix Anastasia's bugged snow field invasion.

i joined the volcano manor and started the questline before i found the corpse stench shack. in one of the comments some one said something about using a celestial dew to get her to appear here. so my question is: if i do use a celestial dew to "kick" myself out of the volcano manor questline then get her to invade me, can i pick back up on the volcano manor questline from where i was? or am i just ****ed out of that questline?
- Anonymous
is there any way to get her to invade at the corpse stench shack if you have joined the volcano manor but haven't killed rykard? follow up question, if the celestial dew works and you're "kicked" from the volcano manor quest line, can you restart it after having killed anastasia at the corpse stench shack? i don't want to miss out on the rewards from the volcano manor that i haven't gotten yet.
- Anonymous
Won't invade me at corpse-stench shack, I'm assuming Rykard's the "area boss" here.

she doesnt seem to spawn in consecrated snowfield even with the avatar alive. anyways this part of the map is bugged anyways as the wolfes there just 1 hit you, the mausoleum is only usable every second run and also you tend to glitch through the floor when attacking the mausoleum.
When I killed this lass in the snowfield, she did some looney tunes spin then fell over dead when I shot her. Had me laughing my ass off
