Hemwick Grave Woman (Cleaver & Torch) ❘ ヘムウィックの墓女	Regular Enemy

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 They can be interrupted and staggered, but the interrupt timing on many of their attacks is very precise and it's easier to simply hit them with a couple of R1 swings. Stunning them with a roll and immediately following through with a rolling R1 attack is the safest and most effective way to deal with them, although Throwing Knives are useful for defeating them before they can bring the fight to you. Due to their quick attacks, trying to quickstep past them is risky; instead, stand just out of their reach and wait for them to swing, and then move in while they recover and finish them with an R1 combo.

Blood variant summoned by Bell Ringer in Yahar'gul. 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 Women have special dialogue when killed with fire. Dialogue: "It burns, it burns!", "Fire, Fire!".

Pungent Blood Cocktails don't attract this enemy, making the item ineffective. Shaman Bone Blades affect this enemy, making it hostile to other enemies.
