Brwon told Collider, "You just have to figure out different ways of breathing... you don't think like that but like, you have to. I had to think of different things to eat for lunch. And different ways to breathe. Because you can't eat anything too heavy, because you have to jump from cave to cave. But you also can't eat too heavy because you have to... you know, maintain a certain shape.”

The actress shot a series of action scenes for Damsel, but she didn't really train in preparation for the role. Brown told Extra, "I didn’t want to be prepared because, like, my character is going through this, too, so I was just, like, ‘Why would I prepare and be this muscular, you know, great climber when I want to see mistakes?’ I fall a lot in the film… It was all real… It makes you fall in love and care about the character more.”
