Sanctum Priestess

Sanctum Priestess are an enemy in Dark Souls II found within Shulva, Sanctum City.

Description
Sanctum Priestesses are followers of Elana, the Squalid Queen. Similar in appearance, they wear decrepit robes and elaborate headdresses. Their song can be heard throughout the level and become hostile on sight.

Strategy
Unlike their Sanctum Knight counterparts, the priestesses are fragile and immobile. They attack at range with Dark magic. When killed, they leave behind a potent cloud of poison. Typically, rushing them with melee while dodging their spells or attacking at range with ranged weapons or spells of your own are both effective.

Attacks

 * Dark Orb: Casts with single hand and two-hands. Two handed cast is more powerful, but longer cast time.
 * Weaker version of Affinity
 * AoE spell that resembles Firestorm, but in a much smaller area and dealing Dark damage

Trivia

 * When casting Affinity, they will snap their fingers and bells - presumably around their wrists - will jingle.
 * Their song is identical to the one sung by Elana, suggesting they might help in her efforts to keep Sinh asleep.
