Very much depends on the weapon set. Lance is helpful because you can get him to come right to you without getting hurt in the process. The best time to hit him is when he shakes a lot of mud off, and then get underneath (where the mud can't follow, though hit detection in this game is wonky), and whale away. With other weapons a hit-and-run strategy might be more appropriate.
