Anastasia, Tarnished-Eater

You may remember fighting Anastasia in front of the Smoldering Church near Caelid. This is part two of the fight. She’ll invade you as you approach the Corpse-Stench Shack, at the end of the road leading to Mt. Gelmir. This is more or less the same fight you had at Smoldering Church, where she’ll be super aggressive and deal significant damage if she hits you. It’s worth noting, she is weak to Strike damage. When you defeat her, you’ll get her Butchering Knife as a reward.

Ancient Dragon Lansseax

You’ll first find the Ancient Dragon north of the Abandoned Coffin site of grace. Once you deal approximately a 1/3 of its health, it’ll disappear. The proper fight won’t happen until you reach the Rampartside Path site of grace, which is outside the walls of Leyndell. Head to the hill southwest from there, and it’ll fly down. It has the same attacks that all the other dragons have, other than using lightning attacks. When you defeat it, you’ll receive Lansseax’s Glaive as a reward.

Ancient Hero of Zamor

You can originally fight the Ancient Hero at the Weeping Evergaol in Weeping Peninsula, and this fight will be no different, other than you’re not confined to an Evergaol, which means you can summon or use Spirit Ashes. She can be found in the Sainted Hero’s Grave, which is west of the Rampartside Path site of grace. The entrance to the dungeon is guarded by a Black Knife Assassin, which you read about below. Finally, she is weak to fire and lightning but resistant to blood status. When she is defeated, you’ll be rewarded with the Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff Spirit Ash for your troubles.

Black Knife Assassin (Sainted Hero’s Grave)

The first of two Black Knife Assassins in Altus Plateau will be guarding the entrance to the Sainted Hero’s Grave dungeon. Like most of the Black Knife Assassins, it can go invisible. If you have access to the Sentry’s Torch, you can use it to stop it from going invisible. They’re also very vulnerable to being staggered. Wide-range attacks seem to work best against them, as it covers a lot of ground. When you defeat the Assassin, you’ll be rewarded with the Black Knife.

Black Knife Assassin (Sage’s Cave)

The second of the Black Knife Assassins can be found inside the Sage’s Cave dungeon, located in the northeastern corner of the large lake south of Volcano Manor. To get there, you need to head west from Wyndham Ruins and drop into the lake. Once again, this Assassin is an invisible one, so you’ll need a wide-range weapon or spell to hit it. Spirit Summons help in these battles as their AI knows where the assassin is. When you defeat the Assassin, you’ll receive t
