This was one of the easiest (yet a little time consuming) bosses to defeat once I figured out the "sweet spot" for it.

Working with an Assassin (lv 55) I grabbed up around 20 Liquid Vim, same in Harspud Sauce and a ton of Blast Arrows. Took my company of pawns ( I had three with me, used them as fodder. You can complete this without them.) and went into the chamber. Eliminated the spellcasters in the room first and snagged the Key at the top. Came back down to the first ledge (right next to the first suspension bridge) after the broken stairs and chunk of rock. (see pictures) Focus first on just shooting the helmet off while that poor b@stardo is still chained up. (Takes a minute or two...) Then just spend some time with basic Fivefold Fury (done use those vials yet!) wearing it down til the first health bar is 40% left and then it should break free of those rusty chains (cue Soundgarden song)

NOW THE FUN BEGINS!!!

He comes tearing after you, if you are where I specified he cannot hit you. The ledge is right at face level and if that big sucker is frenzying he is just running right into the wall you are standing on. He can GRAB you after you get a few sword hits in to his face, but you can easily  dodge this attack by simply jumping back and to the right out of harms way (may take some practice) His "tell" right before he tries to grab at you is he shakes his face back and forth. If you time it right you can jump away as he swipes at you and you can hop back in while its stunned looking at its empty hand in confusion and get some really solid hits in there. Okay, so now its time for arrows. Suck a vial down, equip Blast Arrows, selcet Fivefold again and just sit there and wail on him til you run out of both. He should be well over half health by then. Then just pig stick him in the face or chop away. The beauty of this ledge you are on is that you can swing away against the edge of the ledge and you will never fall off. So you can just swing blindly over and over and you will connect 50% to its wild flailings. This is a time consuming solve for this boss. (It took me just under an hour.)

NOTE: There are times when the big dumb oaf wanders away from the ledge to randomly attack someplace else, you can easily lure him back to the ledge with arrows or sprint around his feet (DO NOT ENGAGE ENEMY ON FLOOR) and climb back up to the "sweet spot".

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY HUNTING!
