When fighting the animals he calls in, just spam Y and they will go down quickly. If you can get them all on one side you can hit all of them with a single attack and not get hit in the back, but alternating Y attacks to the left and right also works.
The boss attacks with two patterns - one is a spinning attack where he stands in place, the other is a three-attack combo with him moving towards you. The easiest way to deal with him is to keep away while he is attacking and then move in for a three-hit Y combo. Don't get greedy! Do your three hits and get out. Since his three-attack combo moves him forward, you will eventually get pushed back near the boundaries of the room, when this happens just jump over him while he's recovering from an attack and move to the other side.
In the second half of the fight, the boss' animated staff will attack you. It moves up and down while homing on you. You can easily dodge this by rolling under it using LT. I found rolling worked better much than jumping. Do NOT get backed up against a wall by the staff or you will take a lot of hits.
When the boss loses all his health and stops fighting, hit him with RT to finish him. If you don't do this quickly, he will recover some health and keep fighting.
Don't forget that you can use your LB power for extra safety.
Like most boss battles, the key to this fight is patience. If you are like me and run in spamming Y hoping that the first boss will be a pushover then you will be sad

The first boss you encounter is the Night Watchman, and defeating him is relatively straightforward. A few tips from my experience:
- Use your 'familiar' to absorb damage
- Defeat any minions he sends out asap using 'area' attacks
- When the screen dims and a blue flame starts to move, go into a defensive mode. Watchman cannot be damaged at this point. In my experience he entered this phase 3 times, each time the flame moving faster than the previous. Keep your distance to judge your timing, and roll under the flame when cornered.
- Do not feel compelled to finish your combos. Taking a safe approach of getting a few jabs in, then backing off is never a bad strategy.

This is story related and cannot be missed.
The Night Watchman is the first boss in Simon's campaign. When engaging him keep your shield up and attack, and when you face his minions, take your shield down so you can recharge your magic. Once you've taken enough health off of the Watchman, the room will go dark and his Sceptre will float around the room. It is easiest to stand still and dodge roll away from it when appropriate. You can't hurt him while he uses this attack so wait it out until the lights come back on.
