What a ridiculously difficult boss. I currently have a full melee build and I had to use every cheese in the book to beat him.

It's a beatdown that I will definitely keep in mind for the rest of my life as I play the upcoming DLC.

As a melee character I think the best strategy here is to stay away from him unless he gives you a clear opening.

The only other boss I found as annoying as him was Gurranq (first phase). Every other boss even Hoarah Loux and Radagon feel well balanced around melee playstyles.

The beast clergyman has a fair moveset. What he doesn't have is a fair hitbox. His model and posture are so strange that many attacks that should hit don't.
