I keep getting bodied by Hoarah Loux. How do I dodge this guy's attacks?

[Chadder Cheese]

I am running a glasscannon strength build and two-handing THE greatsword. I have only 13 vigor. Am naked with base stats from Wretched role.

I can get to phase 2 easily. The problem is that I cannot seem to dodge his grapple moves (specifically the one where he charges with both hands) well and when he starts doing a fury of swing attacks, i cannot seem to dodge after the 1st attack. Please help.

Hourah Loux has a lot of major openings, so for moves like those I'd honestly just get as much distance as possible from him and re-engage on more easily punishable moves.

sprinting around him works for a few of his attacks

his tracking sucks, if you circle around him he won't be cut the turn and make the grab

I dont know why, but for me the last three bosses are the weakest. some other, even earlier bosses, are harder vor me.

First off, don't lock-on. It limits your movement and makes him track you far easier.

Second off, jump is your friend. It can avoid most of his attacks easier and for longer than dodging can.

Third off, he locks himself into long animations for a lot of his attacks, so if you can sidestep one you can punish it immediately and he'll just keep attacking the air you used to be standing at.

This attack is easy to avoid by going backwards
and dodge backwards when he gets near, attempts to grab.

Ranged attacks are useful against him. For example Pulley Crossbow or ranged AoWs.

Just the final hurdle to go now. And also optional bosses if you haven't hit those yet. And then on to the DLC! :p
