This fight is nowhere near as hard as everyone makes it out to be. It's simply a gear-check boss and people go for it too early. There is also nothing to be gained by doing this boss early. Unlike other early attempts that get you into areas full of upgrades this area only progresses the story. Save it for later when you have Shade Cloak, Descending Dark, Quick Slash, and a level 3 nail.

Dash when they get close and go in for as many hits as you can after they swing. Do your best not to get cornered but if it happens dive to deal massive damage and avoid taking damage yourself. Lastly you want to make sure you're consistent enough with your hits that you kill them before before they can gang up on you. Don't try to turtle or facetank or pogo, just be tactically aggressive.
