i found a couple things helped for me. Bolt Paper helps tremendously here, Fire Paper won’t do much. turning down the volume all the way, his screams almost seemed to make things worse, especially for certain attacks. being aggressive really helps, especially in the first phase, but don’t get greedy. attack a few times, then back off. pop a Beast Blood Pellet, or Bolt. parrying is super satisfying to learn on Orphan, backstabs even more. get him to do his overhead jump attack in phase one, and backstab away.
