Dark Souls 2: Flexile Sentry How to defeat a boss

Flexile Sentry

He's one of the optional bosses in the game, which you don't have to fight at all - it's worth to do so, though. You will find him on the lower deck of the No-Man's Wharf ship. He's a four-handed, sword-wielding enemy. He's rather fast, but can be defeated easily with proper planning and former knowledge.

Attacks:

• A simple attack - the enemy attacks two times, each time with a different hand.
• A sword swing - the enemy holds the sword in both hands and jumps at you, launching his attack in the process.
• A spin - the enemy start's spinning, dealing high amount of damage.
• A series of attacks - the enemy launches a series of attacks, then follows it with his spin attack. A very dangerous maneuver.

Tactics:

The best method to deal with him is to circle around him, trying to stay in mid range. The enemy "lacks back", so you can't really attack him from behind. Attack only when the boss have launched his own attack and starts preparing his next move. If you notice that he starts his spinning attack, get as far from him as possible.

Victory!

You can summon Lucatiel of Mirrah to aid you in the fight, in form of a living shield / cannon fodder. She will take most of the enemy's, allowing you to strike the boss without fear.
