Here are tells of which attack is which, since most of his attacks look similar to eachother.

Fire breath + Rampage : His starting attack. Immediately dodge into him, then follow him and go to his left side for a punish. In second phase he does this attack twice in a row. Avoid getting cornered because you will get obliterated by this attack.

Bite-Bite-Flamethrower : The easiest attack to punish. Dodge under him for the 2 bites, and simply dodge through the flame. This attack usually has no wind-up.

Forward Lunge : He will arch his back and then lunge forward for a grab attack. Instantly kills unembered 30 VIG characters. Head will immediately be vulnerable after the lunge. Dodge sideways for this one.

Forward Lunge(with roar) : He will roar, then turn his whole body into hitbox and lunge forward. Dodge sideways, or into him if you feel lucky. Head immediately punishable afterwards.

2-arm swipe : He will swipe with one of his arms, then after a short delay, does another swipe. Dodge into him.

4-arm swipe + downward firebreath : A hard to punish attack. Dodge into him for the swipes, and backwards for the firebreath. You can tell that he does this attack if his second swipe has no delay.

Rampage + downward firebreath : His most dangerous attack. He will do a 6-hit combo before finishing off with a downward firebreath. Same deal, into him for the swipe, backwards for the firebreath.

Dark Explosion : Signals his second phase. Dodge backwards.

Dreg Barrage : Summons multiple humanity sprites to bombard the player. Has 2 variations : one where the barrage comes straight at you, and another where they go upwards first before coming into you. Can be chained from the forward lunge. Animation during attack is punishable.

Dark Beam : Spreads his wings as he breathes fire downwards, which transforms into a laser that will travel in a straight and sweeping line, leaving explosion after-effects. Laser is able to kill unembered player with ease, and the explosion does a little less damage. Wait for his fire to transform into a laser, then immediately rush into him.

Dark Beam (extended) : Gathers dark energy in his maw and unleashes his laser in a straight-sweeping-sweeping-straight pattern. Don't get baited into dodging under him- this one will hit you. This attack doesn't have a firebreath wind-up. It also leaves him exhausted and extremely vulnerable.

Tail Swipe : He only does this after an attack, and only if you're standing behind his hind legs. Deals high amounts of damage.

Backhand : He only does this attack if you're standing behind one of his arms, but not under his body. Deals mediocre damage.
