Tips for first boss

[Carlton BEaEnkEs, no E]

-USE YOUR SWORD, it does a lot of damage and poise damage
-speed boost at boss to use sword
-be aggressive and stay close
-fire rifle and missiles constantly
-make sure you're locked on
-stay in the air as much as possible, MUCH easier to dodge that way
-DO NOT rely on your ranged weapons for this fight, USE YOUR SWORD AS SOON AS IT'S READY
