If this is your first time getting to the fight, the spiders will only spawn once you hit Rom. The safest way to make them spawn is to shoot Rom from far away, so none of the spiders will fall onto your head and damage you. For the one cycle strategy this HAS to be the way to start the fight, because you don’t want to ever hit Rom before the spiders are all dead.
To get the one cycle strategy down, you’ll first need to kill all spiders. The safest way to take them all out is to rotate Rom either clockwise or counter-clockwise and always kill the one that is further away from the others - and remember to always hit its body because it takes a lot more damage than the head. This might take a while, but it’s the safest and most consistent way to take them all out; if you get really good at doing this and understand their AI better, you can start experimenting with different ways to kill them even faster during openings or when you notice the others aren’t targeting you.
After you take all the spiders down, you’ll want to unequip your Saw Cleaver by pressing right on the d-pad (don’t unequip it from the menu, it’ll be way slower and unnecessary). Use a Beast Blood Pellet and start doing R2 punches to Rom’s head (because she doesn’t take any real damage to the head) with your fists to charge your beasthood meter. Once the beasthood meter is full, equip your Saw Cleaver again by pressing right on the d-pad and follow these instructions:
1. Hit Rom twice with R1, and she will stagger;
2. Hit her with another R1 and use a Bolt Paper while waiting for your stamina to regenerate;
3. Your next hit will make her start channeling the teleport, so you’ll do the following combo: R1R1R1 and a fully charged R2;
4. Be careful not to hit her head with the fully charged R2, or the strategy will not work.
Following these steps will always stagger her out of the teleport. Using the Bolt Paper only after doing 3 R1 attacks is important because if you use it early, you’ll deal too much damage and Rom will teleport earlier, which makes this strategy impossible.
I tested it extensively and managed to get it several times in a row, so if you follow these steps perfectly with the setup we have by this point in the run (Saw Cleaver +9 with Tempering Blood Gemstone (2), Tempering Blood Gemstone (3) and Red Blood Gem), you’ll be able to stagger her every single time.
After getting the stagger, one of two things will happen: she will either (1) backstep, giving you enough time to recharge your stamina and kill her by spamming R1 without her ever managing to teleport or (2) start teleporting, which you’ll punish by spamming R1 but won’t actually manage to kill her.
If the latter happens and she does teleport, though, not everything is lost. She will be very low, so you can rush up to her and spam R1 until she dies while ignoring all spiders. This is not as safe or as consistent, but it gets the job done. Good luck!
