Lady butterfly with 2 healing gourds while others have 3???

[Lycon]

This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ is impossible. The first stage is redicilously easy but the 2nd stage is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ impossible. I looked up some videos on youtube and every single one of them had 3 healing gourds and a ton more life than me, how?

Butterfly is an optional boss, you can go to her at any point in the game.

The first two hours seeds can be found by killing the first miniboss in Ashina outskirts and exploring the building just past the chained ogre. Easy enough to find.

Having more health means they killed more mini bosses by progressing through Ashina outskirts more and coming back to Hirata later.

you still can beat her with this state of yours, when you know her pattern, it will be easier. I was once like you, fight her when literally newbie to this game, Just miss 1 unblockable and i would be gone. But i did it after about 30 times.

Even if you fight her as your 2nd boss, you can collect at least 7 gourd and 5 Health increase.

The first stage yes. 2nd stage she dodges after a while then her illusions come, I run around till they become butterflies and then she reks me with super fast attacks and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ camera angles.

Run around in circles until the illusions become butterflies, avoid the butterflies, go back to dodge attacking. Hit her with a shuriken when she jumps in the air to knock her on her ass and get a couple free hits

Lady Butterfly is a really tough boss to take down early in the game. This is doubly true if this is your first run of the game and you're still getting the hang of the basic mechanics. I honestly wouldn't feel that confident taking her on with only two gourds even after I've become quite comfortable with her moveset. The margin of error is just too slim.

And even when you come back to her later, it's really just the health advantage that makes it easier. She has one of the toughest movesets to consistently avoid damage from - especially phase two when she adds those damaging butterflies to her basic toolkit.

One tip, if you're determined to see it through: having the skill that allows you to do a follow up slice after a shuriken throw from the prosthetic skill tree will be a big help in this fight. The snapseeds are optional, by the way - I've actually hardly ever used them in this fight. I don't think they make a massive difference.

You can have 9 Healing Gourds before you fight Genichiro, and to an extension Lady Butterfly. Just explore after you kill Gyoubu, the game opens up considerably once you build yourself.

Lady Butterfly was one of the easiest bosses if not the easiest. You just have to use that snap something & just run around in 2nd phase. But yeah if you wasted those snap thingies to dissperse illusions then you are fkd.
But you can still just run around after all of those ilussions turn in to butterflies.
