Lady Dimitrescu has a lot of HP, so you need to deal a lot of damage to take her down. Customize your weapons to get them to deal plenty of damage and don't forget to bring lots of ammo with you.
Long-Distance Weapons
We recommend bringing a weapon that can deal long-distance shots like the F2 Rifle.
Aim At Her Human-Like Body
Lady Dimitrescu becomes a terrifying creature with little resemblance with her human form. This form enables her to fly and deal devastating attacks. Her main weakness is her human-like body, so aim majority of your attacks there.
