lighting boss

[Analogy]

I know you're meant to shoot it with the bow. But seriously, I just can't beat him/it? It's so hard. :s

any secret tips that can make this boss easier?

This boss has the distinction of being one of the most difficult this guide writer has ever tackled. His combo-based attacks are fast, insanely powerful, and there are very few opportunities to attack.

We strongly recommend equipped the Lunar Staff - its fast jabs are cruial for killing this guy. So here's the deal, the boss will launch into numerous powerful multi-hit combos that are brutal if they connect, which is why it's imperative you block and dodge almost constantly. The trick is to get close enough for the boss to attack, quickly side-step once or twice, then immediately counter with an attack of your own by mashing the quick-attack button. But don't get greedy! After 5 or 6 hits, stop and block and roll out of there and prepare for your next attack phase.

The boss is particularly vulnerable during his dash attack - if you see him stop moving and hunch over, get ready to roll to evade this attack. It'll take him a second or two or recover afterward, so lay into him!

I can't beat the bastard. He combo's to much and breaks my block...

I just used the bow ninety percent of the time. you can't prevent getting hit by this boss. just go from front to back and be patience. don't try to kill him off fast or you will just die. I just finished the game today,its probably the hardest game I have played so far on the 360, but well worth the time, even though I almost threw my controller through the TV a few times from frustration, great game..
