on my first playthrough I thought performing a deathblow would always push him off the ledge. I got really surprised on ng+

I feel for this guy and his son.

This boss can be knocked off the bridge with a posture attack (deathblow)

Don’t dodge to his right! If you dodge to his left (your right), most of his attack will miss you. Be warned that the push will still hit you, though the slash after that can be easily dodged.

Axe prosthetic and trying to stay behind him is the way to go.

He is basically the iron golem from dark souls

You can just knock him off the bridge, he's so heavy he can break the walls with his body. I also think this is the man who made the "roberts firecrackers" prosthetic. As he calls out for his son upon death.

Can you actually take his armor off somehow? I eavesdropped some enemies who said: "He doesn't like that armor, and he sure didn't like me putting it on him. When a fight happens, it might com off easier than you think."

As gimmicky as this fight is, it's probably one of my favorites, feels like a proper 1v1 with no real "surprise perilous attack you probably can't avoid" all his attacks give fair times to parry, his rampage attack leaves him exposed for a good while, and he's just a really fun to fight mini, with a nice looking arena.
