Dude, I do not blame you. On my second time through, that boss remains the hardest I've fought. Like the others have said, it's almost entirely luck.
I got gud and actually killed him. (I was mostly just dicking around waiting for him to dodge-roll off the ledge, randomly poking at him to give me some room to move...and that killed him).
That said, Keep at it. Once he's dead, Old Yarnham becomes a great powerlevelling area.
