Surprised I didn't die during it since I kept getting poisoned and forgot to bring any antidotes. I only had a single one from the quest (Accidentally took 1 of them in the beginning when trying to drink my Hot Drink lawl). I'm wondering if there's any armor or weapon I should be aiming for for the fight against it. The fight is brutally long and his constant poison makes it that much worse. As fun as it was it's safe to say farming him won't be an option until I'm able to kill him much more efficiently. I'm currently in complete R. Ludroth armor with match greatsword/switch axe.
He's far, far, far easier to range than he is to melee. I would suggest Bowing or Bowgunning him if you're comfortable with either weapon.
Also a good thing to know is that his weakpoint changes whether he's in rage or not. When he's not in rage, his head is his weakpoint, while when he is in rage, his tail is his weakpoint. You can easily determine if he's in rage because he changes color. Since his weakpoints are the outermost portions of his AOE attacks, I would suggest attacking them if you're going melee, because they're far easier to escape from than if you were attacking his body. Don't get into long combos(especially if you use DS), because you will have to break out at any point to escape his attacks.
