Have been cruising in brutal until that ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Perma slow and -2 life per second. Who thought that would be a good idea????
I'm fighting him around a tent to avoid the ice spikes but his charge go around and auto find me every time. Is that a bug????

I defeated him with spectral wolfes with a healing gem and the cursed block everytime he die his spikes.
It was still till now the hardest enemy i fought but this worked.
(only defeated the next one till now)

Other than making sure you're a geared as you can get, play around with your spells and try alternate weapons. Ranged weapons will give you space to react to his telegraphs better. He's definitely annoying, but not nearly so bad as the early access version.

No, it's not a bug. He's designed to put in some distance then close in.

You can even exploit him in a tent where he can't go far enough because of the tent's walls, but he still will not go out of the tent the other way around so you can kill him for free.

However, even without that anyone a functioning brain should figure out that 2 counter/shield spells and a dash will get you through his dashing phase unharmed.

And no, you haven't been cruising in Brutal If this unremarkable boss gets you stuck as you will get REKT again soon enough.

Run two counters/shields. will make your life much easier

It is possible to avoid his charge by dashing through him. The timing is a bit tricky, but it's not impossible. Since he has a habit of multi-dashing, a good follow up is to pop a shield of some sort, as soon as he turns around (Ward of the Damned and Chaos Barrier are solid choices here) . If you know he's going to come for you, you can stop him in his tracks, then use a weapon skill after shield, to get some hits in on him (I use sword spin, myself, because when spinning, you get a faster movement speed). At which point, your dash should be recharged so you can put some space in-between yourself and him again. If you're struggling, then use wraith spear. I can't tell you how many times wraith spear has saved my bacon on the simple merit that using it allows you to do another dash, before throwing the spear. The fact it also inflicts weakness, is icing on the cake, because it does help mitigate "some" damage. Veil Of Illusion and Veil of chaos are good to pair up with it, but I try not to rely on chaos too much. Illusion's phantom can help draw aggro away from you though, if only for a moment.

I let Bane kill him for me. Kinda Vincent's fault for hitting Bane anyway. I wasn't even aware it was gonna be him.

His "I feel a chill coming on" multi-charge attack is unavoidable, even when you strafe him around structures. Super frustrating

Advice from some months back in this post does offer several good options to deal with his multi-charge, though. Running two shield/counter spells and saving my dash worked wonders for me, personally. Whittled him down with xbow attacks otherwise.

Wait till harpy, aka real last boss of brutal.
