Fully granted, but when you're just getting used to him avoiding those charges is probably the easiest part (I literally stood still a few times and he pounced right past me! 
). Good call on the fire part though: I usually just stick with my paralysis weapon, as I'm too lazy to switch for individual monsters, but if you're having trouble the extra damage certainly couldn't hurt.

Yep, it's Area 7. Try entering from the north (areas 5 or 6).

Ignore the tail and concentrate on the flank instead. Keep your back to a wall so he doesn't charge past you, then nail him on the side a few times (ignore the head for now: I don't think your current weapon is sharp enough to penetrate that armor). You could also aim for the legs, as he trips fairly easily. You can attack that tail when he's down.
When he's about to slam his head into the ground, roll towards his flank and do a quick counter, then leave. When he starts shaking, either keep your distance or position yourself directly underneath him (finding the right spot is tricky, so stay away for now).
Equip a water weapon if you have one (
)
When he runs away, don't immediately pursue, as he might just be preparing to charge rather than actually retreating. Also don't get suckered into attacking when he's rolling in the mud, as he can still hit you that way (although you can take pokes at the tail!) I believe when he does his spinning-tail attack, it's always towards his left, so stay on his right flank whenever possible.
He's got a limited move-set, so just recognize what his movements mean and you should be good. Also, don't be afraid to leave the zone when you take your potions: drinking them when he's around is an invitation to get mowed down.
