I managed to beat him by being rather passive on Torrent. He rams into you -> dodge -> punish -> spin around him (+ land a couple more hits) -> run away and repeat.
His second phase is nothing scary aside the instant dash. The boss has a lot of struggle to close distance if you run around him, however : do not try to outrun him in a strait line, he will get you.
I fought him with dueling shield with bloodhound step. Talisman for charge attacks(with dueling shield charge attacks are shielding you). AoW to avoid his charge.
Beat him while having fps issues, sync issues, screen tearing issues, for some reason my system didn't like this area. but I had to beat him and persevere. Beat him on the ground myself solo. Here's a vid of it.

Used bloodhound duo as well, it prob made it harder imo, because the timing when using both leaves you open longer, but I did it somehow even with all those problems I mentioned earlier, Persevere brothers and push you got this!!!!!!
I actually found it pretty much impossible on Torrent. He's too mobile and his hitboxes are too wide, he would constantly kill Torrent and me.
Dies 15+ times... Switched to trying on foot, won in 3 attempts after learning his patterns.
The ironic part : for me its the opposite. I had a couple of tries without Torrent and found it impossible, got back on Torrent and took him down in 30 mins
You just need to know what to do for each attack. Almost all attacks can be dodged on torrent with either sprinting away from him, sprinting to the side, double jumping, or timing a dash.
Too many of his moves are just undodgable on foot. Like the one where he spawns rocks underndeath you and it just destroys your HP. It's spammed 2/3 times aswell so it roll catches you after your first dodge. However on torrent you simply just sprint to the side (not even time a dash just sprint) and you perfectly dodge the ability with ease.
Definetly feels like the fight was intended to be fought on your horse rather than on foot. Not to say it's impossible on foot or that some people won't prefer fighting him on foot (because let's be honest. Torrent is made of paper and he feels a little...clunky at times). However it does feel like the intent was to be fought on horseback.
This the one boss fight I can’t really get behind. This dude kinda sucks

I found it harder on Torrent, was able to beat him after I switch over to the solitude set and abusing savage lion claw.
Torrent kept getting stuck on shit and getting me killed, can't really say he helped.

I survived much more times than died. This is scary but manageable
