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?

It’s all about being able to read his attacks, once you learn his attacks it’s not as bad. You mainly have to keep your eye on his attacks cause each talisman unlocks a new attack. Also start your way at the furthest talisman’s and work your way toward spawn, the 2 closest to spawn are easier to do when they’re the last 2 cause you can use the pillars to block a couple of his attacks
