Yeah the fog clone part is fairly dangerous, and you become more susceptible to it if your damage is lower. Imagine having to survive through that phase two separate times and having less of an idea of how to manage her normal attack patterns. I do agree it's fairly easy to get and stay behind her, but she also has attacks that hit behind herself so it's not 100% safe. The spinning attack at least has a delay on it, so it'll catch players off guard.

And if you imagine someone with a +9 or even a +8 weapon trying to do this, likely with a sub-optimal build, her difficulty level makes a lot more sense. This is actually going to be a fairly common experience for a first playthrough. People who post about games on message boards and learn everything there is to know are actually pretty rare in the grand scheme of things. Especially on their first playthrough, most will try to beat it without any help.

Though, ultimately, I'm still disappointed at the lack of a chalice version. One Reborn I understand, since his battle requires a special arena set up. I guess I can imagine that doing the fog phase would have been difficult in a chalice set up, but I still would have liked to fight a beefed up version of Mergo's Wet Nurse without needing to go into NG+

all the rest weren't so unfortunate
