If you die against this guy prepare to make the dumbest freaking corpse run in the entire game.
The GY is out in the ocean on some spire and you have to go way out of your way to get back up the cliff and make it to the Arboretum.

so
as probably everyone i died on first try
and then i tried gathering information about him only to find:
there's no trick about it or at least no one knows about it.nevertheless i killed him on 2nd try as a rogue
(and without stealth-opener since speaking with him will un-stealth you)now that i won i see what this fight is about.
he has a timer after which he has simply won, so you're fighting against time
plus: he puts pools of fire under your feet hitting you hard.
so your job is quite simple: never stop running !
and try to fight effectively because every glitch you do
will be a wasted bit of your short amount of timeon my second try i also noticed that i didn't get stunned as much as before.
i guess it has to do with the pools.
possibly his fire breath and the pools only stun you in combination
thus if you keep running and never stay in the pools for long
he has no real chance to stun you.hopefully my data helps reducing the skeletons around him
good luck everyone :)
Yeah I had to run all the way up to Sri-La Village before I could find a place to get back up...EDIT: You can just run south and get up at 60,50 much quicker
