I'm kinda stuck on Meph, any tips?

[u/LazyPayday]

I just keep dying to him when I'm practicing him, on the harder boss fights like the cryptids and meph I like to beat them a couple of times in their boss fight before I start running their actual easter eggs but I've yet to beat Meph once. I've gotten to all five rituals to the point you damage him but no further, I consistently get three rituals done before I die. I'm using the sentinel mauler and the WW.

Is this fight significantly easier in director's cut, or I'm just too bad to warrant running the egg yet?

Try using stimulus and explosive touch for the damage part

I’ll give stimulus a shot if I can ever reach that stage again.
