prisoner is probably best bet to get access to weapons Lv.2 very soon if player goes directly to BBI. not to mention Lv.2 weapon is more or less almost same strong as Lv.3 for most weapons.

kind of easy and bulletproof fast kill without weapons and stats. level doesn't matter, you could kill him at level 1 this way and it definitelly spares the hour of fighting him without good enough stats. at that level Godsbane is also probably not option yet, so it will require Quit/Load. although, to spare comments... level 1 is not option since this strategy requires access to Black Cat

when you 1st enter Midnight Helix run straight into broken grate (preferably at least kill 1st mages). then simply quit/load game on 1st chest there until you get Surging Light Tome. chest at abyss on end of poison marsh can contain Shattered Earth Tome. when you get both, you're up to the snuff. simply take 100% liftstone from chest under the bridge and use it.

now make multiple copies of those 2 books (light copy costs 10k, earth 8k). by using those two simultaneously you can take out prisoner in less than 2 min. even faster if you have any rusted weapon at 3 stars since it will make spamming book spells lot safer.
