Stay close.. Dodge behind. Easy hits from the back. They turn slow.

Did you just refer to Balteus as a they/them?

I'm usually so far under balteus most of the fight I typically don't even know what attacks it's dishing out.

I wasn't aware that Balteus had a discernable gender.

"They" has been a neutral singular pronoun in English since the 14th century.

He swings at angles and you have to dodge under the swing. If he is swinging downward from your left to your right diagonally, you need to dodge left and go under his swing. It’s easier if you are really close or really far to dodge the fire. Being in mid range is where he will wreck you.

Balteus flames is the games equivalent of teaching you movement and dodging in this game are fully three dimensional.

Be above or directly below him

[Blackguard]

Jump over him or stay far away

You can also just turbo away from him and get out of range.

chicken legs jump,i found biped jump not high enough still get clipped

[Caboose]

Either fly really high. Or get under him. I had some good luck assault boosting past him when he is preparing his swing. You can probably do the same fleeing on the opposite side if the arena

You don't... FEED THE FIRE!!! :D

Seriously though, jumping and circling works.

Also if you get really close the boss just misses you (all bosses tend to do this in fact when meleeing)

His sword is a little weird. You have a decent chance of avoiding it in the middle of the blade, any closer and you will have to either jump over him, or slide beneath him. At full length, you will have to dodge away from him while jumping, but you will have to deal with his follow up, but he stays in your effective range that way.

issue with going above is that sometimes he will do an upward slash afterwards while you are drifting down, and since u dont have a rapid descent, ur kinda out to dry there. I tried dodging away when I was up but still got hit. Not sure if you are supposed to do two dodges in a row

You do have that. Just don't move when you're in the air, you'll fall like a rock.
