Git gud. Jajaja. Is a joke. Try to lock-on him and block his hits. Also try roll around him and wacht out your stamina. Look his movements and hits him when you see a breach. The problem is the second part, when he is more agressive. So is just to keep try and you will win. Praise the Sun, bro.

We tend to get many troll posts of this nature, so don't be offended but are you being serious? If so, what part are you struggling with?

Ironically the fastest way to beat bosses in this game is taking it slow.
Spend a few respawns not trying to do any damage just concentrate on watching the boss and try dodging, blocking and running away (screaming optional). Once you live long enough you will notice moments, usually right after the boss did an attack where you can get in some damage.

Oh no worries. I struggled a lot when I first started, and I didn't even understand what I did when I beat him lol.
What I would recommend is start with the knight. You get a good shield (it blocks a lot) and a good weapon.
What you want to do is stay close to him. it's counterintuitive but it's the best thing to do.
Another trick to get a lot of his moves to miss is (locked on of course) shield up if you want (whenever you're unsure, that's your best bet until you get a feel of how the dodge works) and just rotate in one direction (while near him) around him. Once you feel like his string of his moves has ended (e.g. it's usually 2 to 3 moves in one go), go in for one or two attacks.

If you plan on blocking like I'm recommending you do, make sure that you stop blocking when you go in for the attacks (as soon as you are planning to go in for an attack, stop blocking). Attacking and blocking uses stamina - you want to stop shielding whenever you can to let your stamina regenerate (it regens slower if you're guarding).

Once you're more comfortable, go for dodges. The same holds though: stick close. Dodge to avoid each attack. By staying close, you are minimizing the stamina needed in order to run back to him. All you need is enough to dodge and attack.

let me know if there's anything else I can help with :)
