Melinda the Butcher

Description

Wherever the lost and wretched gather, those who prey upon them are never far away. So it always has been, and so it is in The Gutter, a settlement of filth and pestilence where the endless struggle to survive has driven its darker souls to seek sustenance through the consumption of living flesh. Beware, lest the cannibalistic legacy claim yet another victim…1

Equipment

  • Greataxe
  • Prisoner's Set
Location

The Gutter
She invades as soon as you touch the wall ledge with the Ring of Soul Protection chest. Her spawn location is a good distance away, on the wooden platform above the tar pools.

Drops

  • Raw Greataxe +3 (very rare)
  • Awestone (guaranteed, if you're a member of the Company of Champions covenant)
  • Human Effigy (guaranteed, if you are not a member of the Company of Champions covenant)
Strategies

Notes

  • She can fall to her death while attempting to path to the player.
  • If defeated as an invader, she will be available for summoning as a White Phantom for the optional Ancient Dragon fight later in the game.
  • Using a Bonfire Ascetic on the Upper Gutter bonfire in the Gutter will respawn her.
