This is a reliable way to deal considerable damage (and even heal yourself if you have the right runes), particularly during the first half of the fight. Backstabs (charged R2 to the back) can be performed when he does the tentacle attack if you have a fast enough weapon.If you get too far away and he does manage to start the spell, shoot him immediately, if you catch him early enough in the animation it will stagger him out of the casting If you stand really close to him (literally touching him), he will never use that spell, resorting instead to his fists and tentacles, which allows you to simply stun him to death, while occasionally strafing to dodge his tentacles.

The secret here is to never let him cast A Call Beyond, because if he does then you are really only counting on luck to survive it. When you engage the boss for the second time he will be much more aggressive, using Augur of Ebrietas, fists (very weak), and A Call Beyond, that is very difficult to dodge and might one shot you.Head up the stairs here and you will find a drop down where you can drop into that dead end room. He will be there, but will soon run into a dead end room, dropping a gate that prevents you from entering. Head up the stairs, past a few of the crossbow Mannequins. You will arrive in another area that looks just like the first area. He will teleport away after half health.Initially you need to find and follow him to a dead end room where you can beat on him until he is half health.Overall he is not aggressive boss, but has one dangerous AoE spell, tentacle arms, and Ethereal Walkers who help him during the first part of the fight.

There is tons of mist on the ground making enemies harder to see.
