Rom also gave me a lot of trouble. There’s two ways of beating her 1. Bumrush her with beast blood pellets and as +6 tonitrous for bolt damage. Wail on her until you run out of stamina or she teleports. It’s a really risky strat but it’s a lot faster than the other method. 2. Kill all the ads first and don’t be greedy with dealing damage. The baby spiders back are super weak compared to their head. Bolt also works here. This’ll be a slog and can end very quickly if you don’t watch out for the meteors she spawns in. Because of how BS the fight is, you should always be 80% or higher on health. Rom flailing around and her meteors are kind of hard to predict, so not getting stunlocked or taken by suprise is important *especially when going in for damage*. If you have the DLC, try to make some headway there too as you can get I think some weapon upgrade material in the first area. Regardless of strat, boltpaper is going to be your best bet if you don’t have any good gems that give bolt scaling. I think you get it from the sparkhunter badge.
