But I suggest you use iron weapons and spears. If you are quite far from iron, you will want to use high-quality scholar blood to defeat this boss. Although you don’t have to use scholar blood, this will make the fight much faster and easier.

The easiest way to kill him is to use a crossbow while on a horse. Running with the horse will make it easier for you to dodge his attacks.

The iron spear is another weapon you should definitely use against him. If you just run with the horse and attack with the spear, he will not be able to deal with it.
He starts the fight with frost and fire attacks. You will have to rotate around the boss to dodge the fire attack. To dodge the frost attack, you must run away from him. The most dangerous attack is the bomb-throwing attack. He will throw a bomb that produces a large radius of destruction. There are two things you can do to avoid this attack. You can use your dash to dodge it or drink a fire-resistance brew.
