Strategy
The best counter to his powerful attacks is good mobility. Always pay attention to his movements and see which arm he is using.
The longer and thinner arm is the one that shoots lightning and ice shards. Dodging the lightning beams is a must, as it causes Shock on hit and can stack up to 4 times, causing you to take 80% increased damage. Having max Lightning Resistance at this point is vital.
From time to time it'll use this same arm to shoot ice shards on the ground that causes the player to walk slower.
The bigger round arm is the one that he uses for his crush attack. This one is slow and easy to dodge. Having high Armour can help you survive this. If you have the Shock status on you, stay away as you will probably take massive damage from it.
The monsters he summons are dangerous and deal high physical damage. Take care of them as soon as possible, while the boss is hidden away.
