With how much trouble I had, I would have assumed the percentage to be lower, but then again you can probably cheat easily on the PC version so who knows what the real percentage is.

I kept putting her off because I assumed you needed the consumable item to dispel the ghosts to beat her and I quickly ran out of them. Still it felt like she did too much damage and I wasn't very experienced yet so I don't think I could've won even if I did have infinite items.

I don't remember Sekiro ever being hard.

I legit never even mastered the whole parrying shit from memory and kinda just brute forced it. Only fight I remember annoying me were the owl and the two apes.

Beat the last boss second try too which I think I coinflipped the age old Fromsoft thing of "lucky movesets" from the enemy

I realized the gaym was shit before I even got to that part. way to get FILTERED right into the diarrhea section of gayming.

I had one snap seed and used it at the wrong time and I'm not sure what move it was supposed to counter, so I just ended up powering through without the snap seeds.

I changed run/dodge to L2 and the game became much more fun to play. The default control scheme is so ass. It sucks in Elden Ring also but for that it's much harder to find a workable control scheme that's better than the default clusterfuck.

I don't understand how anyone struggles against her unless you're rollslopping like a typical souls player. Once you understand parrying and stance breaking it's a walk in the park. The only annoying thing is the spirits she summons.

For a first boss she's pretty brutal. The first phase is almost easy, but the second one with the spirits and projectiles fucked me up hard for a while. Found out you can snipe her out of the air during her jump with shurikens but ran out of emblems so I couldn't use any of my tools for most of the attempts.

I think it’s really helpful to split up Hirata Estate and the Ashina Outskirts to make her easier. There’s no way for first time players to know that, but I go up to the idol before the Chained Ogre and then go to Hirata through the Shinobi Hunter. Then go back to the Outskirts and beat Gyoubu and the Bull. After that then finish the rest of Hirata. Beating the bull and the ogre gives you two upgrades to your gourd potency. Beating Gyoubu increases your attack power. It makes beating Lady Butterfly a lot smoother for new players.

this, soulsgoyim think they can just circle around the enemy + r1 + dodge to victory and get absolutely butt blasted by this level in general
