Additional notes:
People say the third time is the charm. I say the 15th time is the charm. the hardest part about the fight is getting the timing down right.
I tried the whole going in naked and that didnt help either by the way.
I tried multiple strategies, which I think contributed to how long it took me to beat him. Find one strategy and stick to it.
Having as much int as possible is very important
I also almost beat him once but ran out of mp. I used the same strategy as above only I popped chainspelled when he was at 50% health.
The only days of the week that I found to be consistantly bad were iceday and lightsday. Those days always equaled a quick death.
I beat him on windsday but some of my more successful days were darksday and earthsday. On windsday sleep doesnt stick as well so you need to be heavy on the int gear.
Thanks to meanmofo, chisha, mikenasty, primalviper, rozzo, and gainen for helping me get testimonys.
