Need some advice on a boss

[TheHobbitses]

So let me start by saying i completed the game in early access, and i enjoy this game a lot. So i started a new playthrough on the hardest difficulty and damn its been hard, but i have been enjoying this so much, the bosses are really hard but man its fun working around them. Ayhows, heres my situation:

Currently sitting on gear score 49 and completed all the bosses on 50 and 47, except i think tristen the vampire hunter, and man is this difficult, ive been able to get him down to 25 hp and then he does his spinning move, basically spinning like Garen(from league) and just one shotting me, i can dodge out of the way, because it keeps on spinning and he just follows you, i can cheese it since his movement speed is so much, and i cant block it with my shield abilities. What way did you guys beat him, any tips on fighting him ? I mean i can grind scrolls for hours and get better gear and just skip this bossfight, but id rather just try it and do everything in order. Thanks for the help in advance !

I'm not there yet, but generally Decoy's/summoned skeletons and Stealth work on Bosses to get them distracted.

at the end of the day i just kited the living hell out of him, but i wonder what the hell im gonna do with the final boss if im struggling so much here already xd, anyhows thanks for the advice

Play dual shield/counter and whenever someone's spinning you dodge THROUGH them, NOT to the side, as every spinner has trouble turning around.

If you catch one of the projectiles with Blood Rite you can get him to spin through you with no damage if you have a Jewel with +Immaterial duration on it.

Also, you can stop the spin with Merciless Charge ultimate.

Basically, the entire game can be beaten with Chaos Barrier and Unholy Barrier, except Adam (you don't want summons since they proc his counter) and perhaps Dracula. That's the build I'm using on Brutal.

Bosses that patrol can often be coaxed into fights with other things, corpse eaters, ents, rock golem things or even other bosses. One of the most obvious examples is the iron mine where two reside and will happily fight each other.

Those distractions can also be useful for getting in a cheeky heal free from risk of being hit.

losing to tristan in a 1v1 is totally acceptable. I remember needing a stone golem to join the fight to make it 1v1v1. he really is hard to deal with skill-wise. he's also not the easiest boss to read.
