Okay so tips for the newbie. 1: Pick a knight. It is honestly the best class for beginners. That or the Pyromancer. I would go with the Knight personally. 2: Dodging is all about timing. In the first phase of the fight his attacks are well telegraphed. When he swings dodge either into the attack or backwards. [b]NEVER DODGE IN THE SAME DIRECTION OF THE ATTACK[/b] 3: don't always rely on your shield. Running out of stamina is a death sentence. Keep your shield up, but when you get it, lower it to recover your stamina quicker. 4: I know this sounds obvious but use the right analogue stick to lock onto a target. The amount of newbies that dont know this is astonishing. 5: The second phase of any boss is always the hard bit. Their attacks are stronger and more unpredictable. In your case always try and stay behind the boss. 6: Don't get cocky. You might just want to get that last hit in but usually it ends up in you getting squashed. Those are the best tips I can give for beginners. The rest comes with practice.
