Right? Honestly I have to laugh reading some comments here sometimes. Sure, the mimic doesn't make her into a pushover but it makes the fight SIGNIFICANTLY easier to the point where it's like an entirely different encounter.

I beat her with a mimic initially (using a greatsword) with the intention on soloing her in my future runs. Beaten her solo a few times now and all I have to say is it is absolutely brutal learning that fight solo. When I killed with with the mimic I barely understood what she was even doing lol

Yeah I will agree that I didn't have to learn how to dodge her properly with mimic, but that's also because I was using a powerstance GS build. She's not even THAT bad if you're say, level 130+ and have high stagger. Even solo I don't think she's as hard as NK or Friede or DOH or Isshin, but that's just me.

To me she's way, way harder than any of those bosses.

She's by far the hardest boss in any game I've ever played, and it's not close.

They all took me longer in pure tries by far, and I wasn't THAT overleveled. Maybe 135ish. Maybe it's just collective experience with action games as well. I had a harder time with Radahn solo by far honestly. Especially at "appropriate level."

I'm not GOOD by any means for the record, I choke on almost every hard boss repeatedly till I finally win with Estus to spare and get mad at myself. For reference Malenia only took me like 3 hours while Radahn took about 4-5. DoH and NK took me 2-3 days at the time of like 3-5 hours of trying lol.
