I would suggest learning to time your rolls for Aava's leaping attack and normal swipe attacks, as this left me with enough time for a couple of hits afterwards (with the Zweihänder, no less).

When you see Aava roaring when he is close to you, back off immediately, as he is preparing to do his ice blast attack. If you have enough stamina left, you could try to sneak in a hit or two after.

If you see him retreating back, don't try to run to him, he is preparing to do the homing soulmass attack. I found this easiest to dodge with a lot of space between me and Aava, and rolling to the left or right when the projectiles reached me.

Those are the most important things I found out when I beat him. I had a fast roll build though, so if you have a tankier build, I'd suggest you use some gratshield to block the swipe and leap attacks. The soulmass attack will be more difficult to block, as it does magic damage and depletes stamina very quickly, so that attack would still be best dodged. I don't have experience fighting with Aava with a tankier build, so some of that advice could be horribly ineffective.

I hope this helps!
