General Tips: At this point in the game you should have access to new permanent weapon traits (which you gain by doing kills with that weapon). Try to get the slowly shooting carbine with Life Leech trait. As the name suggests, Life Leech transforms part of the damage you deal into healing. It's a good way to stay alive during boss fights. With this weapon trait the boss fight will be significantly easier and you basically can't fail it. This boss is also stationary for most of the fight and he doesn't ever use melee attacks. He only uses ranged orb attacks. Also craft a health item before going into the fight and try to keep it until the 3rd phase.
Phase 1: The boss will stand at the wall and shoots orbs at you and sometimes he creates red rings on the floor that get bigger. Jump over the red rings and walk left/right to evade the orbs. Be careful when he shoots the blue homing projectiles, you'll want to keep walking sideways and do a dodge to be safe.
Phase 2: The second phase is similar to the first. The difference is that he will start moving around the middle of the arena, meaning he will be closer to you so you have less time to evade his orbs before they reach you. He will also use more red ground orbs that you must jump / air-dash. When he retreats to the wall, get up close to him and walk in close proximity just in front of him. Most of the orbs won't be able to reach you there at all, but be prepared to dodge when he uses his blue homing projectiles because those can hit you from anywhere.
Phase 3: This phase adds several new attack patterns, but he's still using orbs. When he stands in the middle of the arena he will use blue orbs falling from the sky (look at the pattern when they appear and walk between them as they fall), which are followed by red orbs on the floor (get ready to jump & do a long air-dash by holding :circle: ). His hardest attack to evade is when he whirls blue "X" patterns at you. Try to always stick to the far edge of the arena when he's in the middle, this gives you more time until the orbs reach you. Walk sideways, and dodge the blue "X" shapes. If you get too close to him he will almost certainly hit you with this attack every time and it deals a lot of damage, so stay away at long distance. When he summons roots from the ground you can attack him with melee sword attacks and dash away. When he sprays blue homing missiles sideways, do a long dodge (hold :circle: ) just before they hit you. This is his 2nd most trickiest attack to dodge. When his health gets low he retreats back to the wall, but don't get too close to him here! He will summon roots from the ground if you get too close. Try to keep at least 5 meters/yards distance. Finish him off while he's standing at the wall.
