On my first playthrough when I didn't use any cheese (or I didn't know I was), it was a very hard and frustrating fight. Exactly like the minotaurs. Just a die and retry fight in which you can't really strategize except using "larian's creativity".
Not a fair boss fight for a normal game mode according to me if you don't use the webs/shove/thunderwave (dip, advantage and so on). A lot of players complained about it monthes ago when they were discovering the game.
Now it's too easy of course, like everything else when you know the win buttons.
It definitely is a difficult fight without destroying the eggs or using the webs to drop her. I also don’t buy the idea that encounters should be tuned to a specific type of fighting style like Larian cheese. That’s not creativity. That’s railroading players to a particular play style.
