Description

  • These graveyard-dwelling madwomen have very low health, but are usually found in groups, using their numbers to make up for their individual weakness; luring them out one at a time using Pebbles will help to greatly reduce the threat they pose. When not patrolling in groups, they'll often hide and attempt to ambush you either with direct attacks or using shoves to try and knock you off cliffs, so be careful anytime you round a corner in areas where Grave Women are located. They can be interrupted and staggered, and due to their frailty, rolling into them will send them reeling off balance and generally give you enough time to follow through with a quick R1 chain before they regain their footing. Rolling into them will also knock them out of their attacks, which can be useful if you're facing down a group of them; remember that you must perform a roll, and not a quickstep, so it's best to fight them without locking on.
  • The sickle-and-cleaver carrying Grave Women attack in a similar manner, using quick slashes and combos to try and overwhelm you, but the short reach of their attacks means you can often hit them from outside of their range. The sickle-users will occasionally use a slower overhead swing with a long windup that causes them to lose their balance afterward, giving you an opportunity to counterattack. The red-hot pole irons carried by some Grave Women inflict fire damage and can easily cause you to flinch, making it difficult to escape further attacks. The weight of their weapons prevents them from being able to use long combos so you generally only have to worry about evading single hits, but the range they can use their attacks from does make closing in on them more difficult than other Grave Women.
  • Wooden Mallets also become a fearsome weapon in the hands of some Grave Women, and they'll use them to perform powerful horizontal swings and overhead smashes. Mallet wielders have the slowest attack speed due to the weight of their weapon, making them extremely vulnerable to interrupts if you can spare the bullets. The final type of Grave Woman does not use a melee weapon as her primary form of offense, and instead prefers to stand back in out-of-reach spots from which they'll bombard you with Molotovs. They're especially dangerous when other enemies are nearby, since they have impeccable aim, can hit you at great distances and the splash damage of their Molotovs is hard to avoid. Once you you're close to them, however, they'll begin using the same cleaver attacks as the torch-bearers.

Strategy

  • You can sometimes kill them with pistol shots, Throwing Knives or Molotovs of your own without having to directly approach them, which can also prevent you from having to fight other enemies while they're bombarding you from above. If all else fails, lure any other enemies out of their range and fight in a safe spot before coming back to deal with the Molotov-throwers afterward. Rolling R1 attacks are still the most effective way to deal with them at close range due to their frail hips, but you'll need to carefully roll or quickstep out of the way of their projectiles as you approach. Try to kill them quickly once you get in range and if they draw their cleavers, roll into them immediately to knock them off balance.

Notes

  • All enemies and bosses (except hunter enemies) have 999 frenzy resistance, despite that they are still vulnerable to such status. The only way to see it without modding is to use Shaman Bone Blade on enemy inflicting frenzy to attack others. [test video]
  • Hemwick Grave Woman while throwing the Molotov can be parried (not the case for throwing animations of other enemies e.g. Huntsman Oil Urn & Huntsman Molotov).
  • Hemwick Grave Women have special dialogue when killed with fire. Dialogue: "It burns, it burns!", "Fire, Fire!".
