Defeat her and she will drop the Sacred Scorpion Charm Inside the Smoldering Church you can find the Missionary's Cookbook 3 and the Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook 14. ▶ How to Beat Anastasia, Tarnished-Eater
3	Continuing to head east by following the road, you will come across a horde of Putrid Corpses that inflict Scarlet Rot with their attacks. Past them along the road are a group of Giant Dogs surrounding a carriage. On the road near two Giant Dogs is a Scarab that will drop the Whirl, O Flame! Incantation. Inside the carriage is the Greatsword.
4	Past the Giant Dogs is Caelem Ruins. The stairs to the underground chamber is on the southeast area of the Ruins. Inside the chamber will be a boss fight with a pair of Pumpkin Heads. After defeating them, the door at the back of the chamber can be opened. Inside the chest in the next room is the Visage Shield. ▶ How to Beat Pumpkin Heads
5	South of the Caelem Ruins in the Smoldering Wall. There is a Telescope and a Site of Grace nearby. A Finger Reader Crone is also near the Site of Grace who can be interacted with.
6	A bit more south of the Smoldering Wall is the Astray From Caelid Highway North Site of Grace. Very near the Site of Grace is another Scarab that drops the Lifesteal Fist Ash of War when defeated. There is also a Wandering Merchant to the east of the Site of Grace.
7	Southwest of the Astray From Caelid Highway North Site of Grace is the Caelid Waypoint Ruins. It's filled with several Kindred of Rot with the underground location found at the northwest area of the ruins. The underground chamber is filled with more Kindred of Rot. Across the chamber is another door. In the next room is a chest containing the Meteoric Ore Blade.
8	Continuing south is the dragon Decaying Ekzykes, who can be found just a little off the road. If defeated, he will drop a Dragon Heart, which can be used at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion south of his original position. ▶ How to Beat Decaying Ekzykes
9	South of Decaying Ekzykes is the Catherdral of Dragon Communion, where the Dragon Heart obtained from him can be used to purchase Dragon Incantations. There is also a Banished Knight patrolling the area, with a Site of Grace inside the Cathedral itself. You can also loot the Ancient Dragon Apostle's Cookbook 3 here. On the road northeast is a Night's Cavalry boss that appears only at night. If defeated, you'll receive the Poison Moth Flight Ash of War. ▶ How to Beat Night's Cavalry
10	To the northeast of the Cathedral of Dragon Communion is a tree with a Golden Seed, a Merchant, and a Map Fragment that reveals the region of Caelid except Dragonbarrow.
11	To the southeast is the road to Redmane Castle, where you can head to if you want to fight Starscourge Radahn.However, do note that if you are too early on in the game the portals at the bridge may not be active and talking to Jerren may not trigger the Festival where you fight Radahn, making the boss fight unavailable until later. To trigger the portals and the Radahn fight, rest at any Sites of Grace in the Altus Plateau. This can be achieved by either activating the Grand Lift of Dectus or proceeding through the Ruin-Strewn Precipice in Liurnia of the Lakes.
