What I will say is:

1) roll *into* his attacks - every swing is an opportunity to roll closer and get some hits. your dodge gives you a brief blip of true invincibility - so use that to get in close
2) be patient, not greedy - take 2, maybe 3 hits on him at a time before waiting to dodge his next attack. otherwise, he'll get you.

if you carefully and patiently alternate between dodging into his swings and claiming your 2 hits of damage, you will be able to whittle him down safely. at that point, it's just about learning the timing on his swings.

If you hate him so much, just use the gun to one-hit kill him.

i beat lil bro by going towards his lance and spamming he couldnt hit me and it was really easy

[danejerus]

I somehow managed to just keep to his right side and constantly flank and swing at him and whittled him down big time with that lmao, might be a strat worth trying if you're having trouble

[ninnyjams]

i almost had him on my first attempt and then the next three i got progressively worse

for the record im not saying the boss is unfair or broken or should be changed

just. this guy is a fart and he can eat my butt.

Best of luck! It's a tough fight, no question. Very aggressive for an early game souls boss.

sounds like a soulslike boss lol, ggz

[Sharkinbear]

Wait til he finds out about the other boss near the start of the area. The Royal shellsplitter.

chase his tail! lock on, get in close, (as far to his rear as possible without getting in range of his kick), and you can stay inside his turning radius and just keep smacking him on the ass while staying out of reach of his attacks.

I didn't have too hard of a time with him, but what is with the "Aggro" attacks? I didn't see a red flash or symbol or anything to telegraph it.

The symbol appears above you, not him - and it's imo not very bold - easy to miss.
