Beating Ancient Libra of Souls

[Nadia]

Does someone has a good strategy to beat him?

He is so damn fast and makes so much damage. =/

Can I Powerlevel my Character and beat him in endgame or will his Quest Vanish after some time?

You can beat them any time, but the reward does not change. The longer you wait the less useful the weapon will be.

Right now I'm LV 80 and he is Lv 70 and I can't beat him, does he gets super Armor or something when his HP is realy low?

I often get him to a point where he is almost beaten but then I just do almost no damage even with heavy hits and he just oneshots me, thats realy frustrating.

Cannot say I experienced that, unless each Ancient is different, I fought the Longsword(Geralt) Ancient. I did notice his damage was considerably higher and he fought like a master of the style which made sense.

I honestly didn't feel it was too bad, using Geralt's Style for my entire playthrough I learned pretty well where and when to attack after a combo ended. You must have used the style of the Ancient for awhile since you need to "master" it to get the quest. Use that knowledge to your advantage, remember the times you got punished, and do the same to him.

Honestly though if you are not doing it for the achievement a lvl 60 weapon at lvl 80 seems pointless.

Sophitia's got a particularly devastating attack and the computer doesn't always know how to handle it. I don't know what the button terms are for it, but it's Up+L1. Where she does that unblockable power stab with the shockwave. The computer more often than not herks out and then just chooses to BLOCK the UNBLOCKABLE attack.

I've destroyed countless fissure critters that way, and Perfect'd Inferno.

Soo testet it several times now, I was fighting the one with Siegfrieds style, if his HP is Low he gets a High Damage and Defense Buff, if he gets you in a Combo at this point the fight is over because of his insane damage output, while every attack from you that is not a heavy hit will almost do no damage.
