Finish Off Minions First
The enemy will periodically spawn minions to help it out during the fight. These enemies can be a nuisance as they can chip away at your health while focusing on the boss. Defeat them immediately to avoid being overwhelmed by their numbers.
Use Hit & Run Tactics
The monster is able to deal a high amount of damage with a single hit. It would be best to employ a hit-and-run tactic to avoid getting hit. It is recommended to hit the monster from behind as it will not be able to retaliate immediately due to its slow movements.
Call a Summon to Draw Aggro
You can also opt to call out a summon to assist in damaging the monster, and draw aggro away from your team. This will allow you to increase your DPS on the monster while it's preoccupied with another target!

When you have lowered the boss' health to a certain point, it will jump away and begin to transform. It will be able to summon variants of its minions that should be prioritized as soon as they show up.
