For the most part, swinging at him as soon as he buffs will break his poise. I was able to do it reliably with a spear, which is one of the worse weapons when it comes to poise damage, with only three or four hits. I'd reccomend running at him and spamming two-handed R1s, as his poise gets reduced while he's buffing and he can't harm you until he's done.
