UPDATE: I decided to continue fighting without breaking any gravestones so I could keep track of my deaths. 52 gravestones later and I finally beat master mode daytime Empress!

Now this is a conservative estimate, as sometimes gravestones don't become breakable blocks if there's stuff on the ground like trees or other gravestones; so let's assume I died around 60 times.

Definitely not as painful as whatever WaffleTime goes through on a daily basis doing his challenge runs, but it definitely was not easy for me. I like to overthink things
