Also, do not attack him while he is blocking in case he counter-attacks while it is possible to attack him from behind. Dodge most of his attacks by dodge rolling. During his second fight he employs faster strikes and counter-attacks so it is safer to only attack after you block. In the third and final battle, he is at his strongest and now utilizes attacks, like Dark Firaga. In particular, watch out for his Dark Aura attack that has him teleporting in and attacking you at all different angles. Try dodge rolling to avoid this. REWARD: Oblivion
