I've found that his patterns are pretty predictable and you can jump, hit, and lean your jump away and avoid almost any of his attacks. If he uses his attack where he jumps and swings his hammer, your best bet is to dash under him. Sharp Shadow can be really useful here, as you will be dashing through or under him often and it can rack up damage even as you're on the run. Range is not necessary and in my opinion almost detrimental as his attacks swing in a wide range, so you need to be as close as possible to dash through him. You can hit the falling rocks away, and hitting them at Failed Knight deals damage but your best bet is to focus on dodging the rocks and constantly poking the boss. Joni's Blessing is a must-have, since you just need to eat a few hits when you inevitably mess up dodging. Use whatever soul you get on shade souls when he's in his Champion's Rage. I recommend clinging a wall and spamming whatever soul you have.
