^^ I have no fire weapons available to me, unless i want to take up hammers. The second neck swipe i've already dealt with, as i'm attacking him super-close range, and i'm inside that. Mostly its the poison flop that starts me on the road to destruction, as then he kills me while i'm going through Antidote herbs trying to find one that works.

That flop is precisely why you're not supposed to stay near the torso unless you have Guard Up and the skill to instantly go to Counter-Thrust. 

If you're going to play it that way though, do not try to take the antidote while you're in the same zone as Gigginox: retreat to another zone, take the Antidote (regular antidote, by the way, not an antidote herb) and then return to keep fighting.  Otherwise, you die quickly. 

Be warned though that you're current style will lead to mass consumption of antidotes for each victory.  I really don't recommend it.
