Petrified Woman

[Amphidex]

Does she have anything good if you save her? I accidentally killed her because the wooden cross looked like it was breakable to get the item beside her...

[XiNing]

welcome to the team... and ALT+F4 was to slow to beat the auto save xD

[Ceneeb]

Hah. Did the same thing. Just committed to it. Oh well

[Mike]

Lol I did the same thing. I tried to kick her first and then I swung and that was that.

[Hitrem]

Exact same here haha, i thought we had to take this item to "remove" her curse but yeah i killed her too trying to break that wooden cross

[Khryst]

she has a questline where you summon her to help you fight bosses.
you get her armor, sword and shield as the end reward. Plus a neck, and catalyst along the way.

[Celery]

I tried to jump over her and it destroyed her.

How do you even cure her?

Apparently any radiant spell that cures ailments, you get one at the top of the stairs right after the first boss

[ZEROEIGHTVALK]

so you can only save her when you are playing a cleric?

It's handled incredibly poorly, she literally tells you "get this thing off me" so you try to interacting with her only to loop the dialogue.
So you naturally assume it may be the item BESIDE her but you can't get to it.

You swing your weapon and nothing happens, you do it again - she dies.
Like lmao, it's one of worst executed things in this game, talking stone woman who gives extremely unintuitive explanation of her problem and no feedback that your attacks damage her.

I mean...elden ring and dark souls have similar situations just like this...with zero explanation other than figuring it out.

This is true, most side quests in the souls games are super ambguous with just enough info to help the player out (sometimes none at all).

I smashed her to pieces and knowing they allow to player freedom to figure it our themselves is great. I'm tired of hand holdy games that treat players like children.

except it's intentional, fromsoft is playing into player's natural instict of swining at the npc (alexander pot guy being stucked etc.). But here swinging is the wrong move.

I rolled into her... and she blew up... Looks like her quest will have to wait for NG+

[slayer1065]
