This attack has a large radius, but can be completely avoided by moving behind the maiden. One is an optional route that leads to some decent loot and an encounter with Siegward if you’ve been keeping up with his quest line. Starting at the Profaned Capital bonfire, there are two routes you can take. The Handmaids will occasionally perform a lunging stab with their dagger, but their main close range attack is to shoot a cone of flame out of their lanterns. Travelling through Irithyll Dungeon will eventually lead you to the Profaned Capital. They will constantly cast fireballs at a distance, so moving in close is recommended. It is advised to use ranged weapons to lure them away from the crowd if the player wishes to engage them. The Jailer Handmaids only appear in the hall outside the boss room of Yhorm the Giant, but their large numbers makes them dangerous opponents if they are alerted.

They are also unable to drain the player's vitality by looking at them.

They resemble the Jailers from the Irithyll Dungeon, although they wear white robes and wield daggers and flame lanterns, rather than Soldering Irons.

Maidens who survived the destruction of the capital, these robed priestesses continue to watch over the ruins.
