Strategy

Melee

  • Try using a fast weapon if you don't have a lot of stamina
  • Try using a heavy weapon held with 2 hands and you won't suffer knockback.
  • Mind your stamina: you will need a lot to block some of his attacks.
  • He's vulnerable to strike type attacks, so hammers will work. A good choice is Dragon Bone Fist because it's both fast and has a strike attack.
  • Since you will encounter him in a great hall, there is plenty of room for you to roll around to avoid his devastating stone attacks.

Magic

  • For a chained prisoner, he moves very fast. Best magic to deal with him would be Great Combustion or Wrath of the Gods, if you have enough to kill him.
  • If you have Homing Crystal Soulmass and Crystal Soul Spear, charge up your soulmass first, then nuke him to death with your spears. The soulmass serves as a stun mechanism in case he gets too close to you, but also deals a fair bit of damage.

Cheap poison arrows

  • Stand close to the elevator
  • If you have a good bow and equip Hawk Ring, your poison arrows will hit him
  • It takes about five arrows to poison him
  • Let the poison do its job until it wear off
  • Hit him again with five more shots of poison arrows
  • Repeat until he dies. It will be a while. But it will be safe.

Non-confrontational Strategy

Required: Ring of Fog, Slumbering Dragoncrest ring, and fast roll (mid-roll acceptable).

  • Get close enough to the chained prisoner to aggro him and lure him a short distance outside room he is contained in.
  • Run back around him once he forgets about you towards the elevator shortcut but, do not activate it unless you want to deal with two enemies.
  • Stay hidden in the passage to the elevator until he goes back to his post, facing away.
  • Activate the shortcut and be glad he can't hear you.
