Description

Karambit knife has ~5x damage of normal one - otherwise, fight would take way too long.
No Speed/HP/Block bonuses from food.
Village of Shadows Difficulty adds swarms of flies around Lady Dimitrescu’s body, so I cannot stand too close to her without taking damage (not on last phase).

Notes:
– Beginning of the fight was really fast - I could hit her legs and tail multiple times with each hit, and she jumped off right after destroying half of the arena.
– To save time, I made Lady D destroy 2 small towers before she could launch flies 2nd time - so she only attacked me in melee after that, so I could counter every time. Interestingly, there is a way to do it wrong, if she destroys last tower with her single melee attack and flies away, then she can summon flies and I’d have nowhere to hide and die.
– There is one serious risk, closer to the end of the fight - if I’m very precise/effective, I can stun Lady D - even with knife. And if she turns around when that happens, she falls onto me and I get imbued with her flies and take damage. Counting all those hits is humanly impossible, so it’s pretty much luck-based factor.

More on mechanics:
– Area of effect from flies around Lady D’s body is mostly directly in front of and under her. But when she turns around or tries to fly away, that area shifts, so I can stand under her back legs.
– The hardest thing to avoid in this fight - flies around her, when she retracts after attack. Minimal slow down gets me too close to her. And if I’m too fast, she can bite me. Note, that hitboxes are really bad and she bites much further than it looks like, that makes this fight look a lot easier than it actually is.
– Main trick here is to always run and never stop - because if you do stop, there will be slight delay before you can run again, so to slow down one must strafe, and it’s a good idea to start running just a little bit early to have a place for maneuvering.
– What’s more, 4 corners of the tower may look symmetrical, but Lady D’s attacks are not. The worst corner is front-right, if she attacks from the right side (I assume we’re facing tower in same way, as when we enter it after picking up supplies). On that corner, her hitbox is very wide, but she retreats very far. Most other attacks are relatively similar, maybe with minor differences. Hit box is average, and she retreats pretty far. But then there is far-right corner - one with ruined inside part. When she attacks from the far side, her hitbox is normal (even though, it’s harder to move precisely, because of the corner texture), but she doesn’t retreat far - and if you react like usual, you’ll most likely miss opportunity to counter, going too far behind her - effectively losing time. To not get into too much details - point is, the most effective way of fighting her is to train how to avoid her on 2 left corners, instead of trying all 4 in different combos. It would probably look better, but it would also be a lot harder to not make a single mistake.
– Last phase is very easy, though, the most important thing is to make her first attack hit the middle of the room, then counter with exactly 6 hits, standing in front of her - no matter how many actually reaches her, then go to the right to dodge - she will attack the middle, because you were hitting her form the middle before. That can be repeated as many times as needed, before she dies.
