A talisman carried by assassins who strike unseen.

Patterned on a scorpion freshly shed of its exoskeleton, its claws seizing a heart with a blessed glow.

Raises holy attack power, but lowers damage negation.

Anastasia's Smoldering Church invasion

Caelid border

Starting Site of Grace: Smoldering Church

1. Follow the northeastern Limgrave road past Summonwater Village toward Caelid.
2. Approach Smoldering Church just beyond the border, where the ground turns red.
3. Anastasia invades near the church. Defeat her to receive Sacred Scorpion Charm.
4. Her later invasions in other regions give different rewards. This one is the Limgrave-Caelid border encounter.

Notes

• Raises holy damage by 12% against enemies and 8% against other players. Incoming physical damage increases by 10% from enemies and 15% from players while equipped.
• Only the holy part of a mixed attack is boosted. Physical damage on the same weapon remains outside this elemental bonus.
• Eligible holy weapon attacks, spells, skills and damaging items can benefit. It does not increase Faith, healing strength or every incantation's damage.
• Can stack with Holy-Shrouding Cracked Tear and other compatible holy bonuses. The damage increases multiply rather than simply adding their percentages.
• The physical penalty remains active when you are not attacking. It does not give holy protection in exchange for the penalty; Haligdrake talismans and Golden Braid are defensive items.
• Anastasia drops it during the Smoldering Church invasion at the Limgrave-Caelid border. Her later invasions in other regions have separate rewards.
