3131 Boss Fight: Gregor the Halberd of Carnage
3232  
3333 Gregor the Halberd of Carnage wields a massive halberd but has surprisingly slow attack speed. This telegraphed moveset makes him vulnerable to perfect parries. Wait for his wind-up animations, parry at the right moment, then punish with counterattacks. Keep in mind that his swings have wide arcs, so dodge sideways rather than backward if you miss the parry window.
