Well high fire and thunder resistance to start if you're going to climb him, then stagger, stagger, stagger. Better your pawns than you if you're clinging to the Dragon face bashing away Thousand Kisses. Oportunism is good and the entire armada of potions. 4 Tagilus Miracles, 4 Salomet's Secret (if you have a mage with you, but I pop these just "for the present", 1 Decoction of Bandaly, 1 Sobering Wine, 1 Steel Nut Salve and heck, 1 Liquid Vim while I'm at it. The Tagilus last for 60 seconds, I do both forms in less, but double the dose for both forms or use them for the 2nd form.

The thing is that if you use Tagilus and Salomet's instead of Conqueror's and Demon's Periapts, your pawns have higher chance to stagger both forms, giving you time to deal good damage.

I have a crappy vid cap (used my iPhone of all bleeding things). It is of poor quality, but it's only me and Eclair and in the end, 1.56 I think, you can see the buffs I used for that run. Now, the initial Leaping Stone is a fail, so I move around his head like a fly on a turd at first giving him time to do a flame shroud, but the rest goes as it should.

It's of no interest other than showing how Eclairs arrows stagger Daimon (and deal good damage), giving me spell free time to Thousand Kiss him.
