Note** This achievement is much easier if you come back and face him again after you've obtained the fire sword.
Watch the beast's movements. If he's backing away, he means to summon vines beneath your feet. As soon as his cast animation starts, there will be a green aura beneath your character. Just tap LB to evade. Repeat until he advances on you. This is his melee attack. He'll raise his claw above his head, so that's your queue to time your Y button block just before he hits you so you can land an easy, critical hit. Repeat this until he is 50% damaged. Around this point, he will start his rolling spore attack. Jump over him and hurry to the opposite side of the screen to avoid his green spore-like projectiles. He will be stunned and vulnerable, so just tap RB and hit him with a magic fire bolt. Three of those should finish him off, so rinse and repeat as needed. If you take any damage, just pause the game, reload the last checkpoint, and try again.

The battle tactics are simple, but slightly random. Random because the boss can start with any of the first two types of attacks - either “ivy” or claw strikes. Therefore, we immediately focus on the animation of his initial movements.
At the beginning, when attacking the boss with “ivy”, we wait a little and jump to the side, simultaneously striking his head. When attacking with claws, you must move as quickly as possible to the distance required for a charged strike. And strike as quickly as possible on the approach, so that the boss does not have time to catch us. About 2-3 hits, and the tactics again change to “ivy”.
Then, at 50% of the boss's HP, its second phase begins - the "wheel". Here everything is even simpler - we wait for the timing and jump over the wheel once, avoiding the spores as much as possible in the opposite direction of the wheel that has left. At this phase, you can immediately shoot all the mana at him for . And, in the end, quickly running up we deliver the final blow.
ps you can always use checkpoint restart
