	Actually he is extremely easy.  All you have to do is be combative
and strategic.  Don't just press the dumb "C" key and watch the action.  What
you have to do is press "C" and once your weapon begins to swing quickly
press away from the beast.  90% of the time you will get a hit and he/she/it
will be left there standing swatting air!   GOOD LUCK!
