Don't even bother trying to block this thing's melee attacks, just unequip everything you've got until you fast roll and dodge everything but the giant thunderballs as mistiming them and getting hit by them deletes 700 hp. Whenever it starts to move just roll towards it and mash the attack button because whenever it misses a melee attack it's joints get stunned for 2 seconds, compared to when you block something and only gives you a single frame, only if it's feeling generous.

Pyromancies and miracles don't work because it just recovers before you finish casting them and has a special dodge-on-recovery just for your great lightning spear (that does like 200 damage in case it does hit at 50 faith / ivory talisman) or your 2m range fireballs, which only connect because the thing is running towards you. An unbuffed silver knight sword +5 does 200~ damage each light slash at 16/22 str/dex.

No idea if magic damage is any better.

Also don't worry about the unless you have a halberd because you're simply not going to hit it with a sword.
