I died too many times and ended up cheesing him with poison arrows but then I regretted doing that because it goes completely against the purpose of the run so I loaded up a backup save I made in case I got soulsucked as that would have reseted my hp.

I went back and got the Mirdan Hammer in 5-2 and traded the Penetrator's soul for the Light Weapon enchantment spell. I also spent all souls I had with me and farmed some more in 4-2 to get my strenght to 40 and increased my endurance so I had more stamina to attack and roll away.

I ended up learning the best way to fight him with minimal damage. So here's the strats:

Firstly you want to stay far from him because he can hit you really fast with a downward thrust and it's very hard to dodge that, maybe even impossible if he's too close. You don't want to stay too far though because you need to punish his AOE attack and you can only punish that by attacking his back as he will immediately retaliate if you do it from the front.

If you keep your distance he will do one of two attacks, the AOE which you can run behind him and punish him twice or the dashing attack which you want to roll foward towards him to avoid the attack, the time is crucial however because if you roll too early you get hit in the face and if you roll too late he will dash past you and then turn around mid air and still land his attack on you.

After all that I got lucky he spammed his AOE so I managed to finish him off quickly in my last try. All in all this was a really fun fight, the only bad aspect of this is running back to him every time I died though it was still worth it in the end.
