Sister Friede

Sister Friede is a character and a boss in Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel.

Description
Like almost every woman in the world of Dark Souls, Friede wears robes, is barefooted, and armed with a scythe; she also has burn marks on the right side of her face.

Location
Sister Friede is found sitting on a chair in Ariandel Chapel in the Painted World of Ariandel.

Strategy
First of all, it is suggested to use a light weapon (such as a straight sword, a greatsword, etc.) to avoid the risk of being stun-locked by her fast attacks, and also a greatshield with high stability to minimize some stamina damage. After the beginning of the fight, be careful and learn her attack patterns while blocking with your shield (be careful anyway, cause her scythe inflicts Magic damage).

The boss has a very little poise and will be stun-locked from almost every attack by the player. You can give her two or three rapid hits, but be sure to keep an eye on the stamina bar to dodge her next attack. As this boss can be backstabbed, it is highly suggested to do some backstab-fishing, perhaps with a weapon with a high critical bonus.

After some time, she will become invisible and move rapidly through the room, and after a short time she will perform a quick attack that inflicts heavy damage if not stopped. The player can avoid this attack by listening carefully. Another way is to run straightforward at her when they see Sister Friede turning invisible, as being near to her will make her become visible again, then follow her movements while staying near to her (mostly her jump), and when she starts to build-up her attack, get behind her and give her a backstab or simply hit her a few times.
