Maybe i'm giving you too much atention, but if she somehow grapples you in this state because you fall on the ground or whatever, you are forced to restart. The solution to this softlock isn't "just don't get softlocked". This is clearly an oversight and should be looked into, since people don't know this is a thing before it happens, and maybe some other enemies get boosts to combat that may force similar situations and should at least be thought about in case they alsos oftlock the game (it forced me to reset when i first encounter it, and you clearly didn't know this softlock was posible either since you mentioned stamina is a solution to it).
You framed it as if it is my fault, not my choice, to play the game a certain way. The reason this threat even exists is for this scenarios. You saying to avoid the problem is not helpful in a threat about "problems".
