Dodging is key here.
This brute hits like an absolute truck, so dodge his attacks and go in for one or two hits. Don't get greedy as he can easily take you out with a few punches, especially if you haven't been levelling up much.
Not only do you have to worry about him, but he can also spawn a shadow clone that you can not damage.. but it can damage you, so again, DODGING. IS. KEY.
Use ultimate attacks whenever you can to help speed this fight up!
On top of this, the games lighting in this boss arena can get pretty blinding (I hope this gets patched) meaning there will be times you can't see him at all; Just keep dodging and moving the camera until you fix the lighting... If not for this issue, the boss would be a lot easier.
EXPLOIT: If you ever feel too weak and wish to level up fast WITHOUT killing NPCs there is a nifty little trick you can do; Plug a USB keyboard into your console, go to a bed to level up, select ANY power and once in that powers tree.. hold down P on your keyboard and you'll gain xp as long as you hold it down. You can be as powerful as you wish!
Any questions, just ask!

Maybe it's just me, but the dodge just doesn't work half the time. I have full stamina, press to dodge and he just stands there like a lemon and takes the hits 😒. This is the first boss that has caused me any real issues.

Chapter III
After you have returned from Whitechapel and attended your sister's funeral, you will return to Pembroke with dire news awaiting you. Harriet Jones, who you spoke briefly to, has been slain and her supposed murderer, Sean Hampton (who you saved earlier) has fled back to his flock in the Docks. Managing through the dredges of the sewer thereafter, you will come across Fergal, briefly introduced to you during your time in Whitechapel, only this time he is your enemy.
Be aware that the dodging mechanic is CRUCIAL to surviving him. He is a Vulkod, a brutish vampire that lives off of instincts, and so his attacks do hit harder than most (especially if you are of a lower level than him because of the "Not Even Once" trophy you might be trying for). Dodge his one-two or one-two-three swing attacks and then go in for only two hits if you can. By this time, you should have the Barbed Cudgel two-handed weapon, so your stunning potency might be decent enough to bite him a few times.
His second and third phase attacks don't differ greatly from when you start. He will have a roar attack that disperses shadow damage around him. He may also employ shadowy dopplegangers that, though you can't damage them, can certainly damage you. This is why I suggested only two hits at a time, as you still need to conserve some of your stamina to get away from either of these attacks. With enough effort and certainly enough attempts, Fergal will fall and this trophy shall be yours.
