A mysterious woman who summoned the hero to the Nexus. She wields a long sceptre and her eyes are occluded by something that resembles wax.

Location:

• Nexus
  • Appears near Stockpile Thomas after defeating Phalanx in World 1-1.

Tendency Events

• None

Special

• Talking to her for the first time, she'll give the player the Blue Eye Stone and White Eye Stone.
• She can increase any stat to the player's desire in exchange for Souls.
• Even if attacked she'll never turn hostile and when killed, she'll revive shortly after.
• She moves around the Nexus everytime the player enters it. The places she can be found at are:
  • Sitting next to the last Archstone the player entered.
  • Standing directly next to Stockpile Thomas.
  • Standing between Blacksmith Boldwin and the Boletarian Palace Archstone.
  • Sitting against a column across the hall from Stockpile Thomas, towards the Valley of Defilement Archstone.
  • Standing at the edge of the transparent seal in the center floor.
  • Beside the small statue where the player respawns upon dying in the Nexus.
  • Standing in the center of the stairs leading down to the area with a lot of messages.

Notes

• Upon defeating the last Archdemon, the Maiden will only be found in the area beneath the Nexus and talking to her won't prompt the level up option any longer.
• If not talked prior to this point, it will also become impossible to obtain the Blue Eye Stone and White Eye Stone for the rest of the playthrough.
• If the player chooses the good ending, they'll receive the Maiden in Black's Demon's Soul after the credits.
• Even in New Game Plus, It's impossible to level up until Phalanx is defeated.
