Dragonslayer Armour SL1 NG+7 [Sprint/Roll/Block/Parry] No Rings/Buffs

I thought this boss would be much worse. The impression I got from my previous no sprint kill was that strafing around him isn't consistent, but that's actually not the case. If you position at his right side/rear after every punish, you can strafe everything quite comfortably, and if he idles you can safely stick to him. Being at his left side is less favorable, but I go there anyway when I'm hoping to bait the side shield slam.
