Lady Butterfly? She's technically an optional boss and really meant to be fought a bit later. She's an absolute pushover once you have some upgrades and actually know what you are doing, but if you are just starting the game she is way too difficult. It's honestly kinda stupid that you are allowed to access her so early.

The actual first boss is Gyoubu, the guy with the horse. While also difficult for first timers, he's much more doable than Lady Butterfly.

Okay, I definitely didn't get to a guy with the horse. I had incredible issues with the first miniboss (the guy that gets drunk and spits stuff?), so I assumed I'm just too bad for the game :D might have to give it another try!

Yeah, you got into Hirata Estate. That's a semi-optional area that's a bit too hard for when you first gain access to it. It's really the game's fault for giving you the bell thingy so early imo.

I definitely recommend giving the game another go. Don't get me wrong, you will die a lot even when you follow the main path like you are supposed to, but the game is a bit more fair with the difficulty curve. Except for the Chained Ogre, that guy is just bullshit.

Thanks for the recommendation, I definitely will! Do you know of any "guide" or something explaining a good order to do things in, in case I get stuck again? It would be good to have a reference to check.

I don't, sorry, I generally don't use guides while playing.

No problem, I'm sure I can find something if it comes to that!
