My weapon for this fight: Hunter Axe (two-hand version, no upgrades)
Father Gascoigne is the second boss in the game. Bring some molotovs to this fight! You can buy them in the Hunter's Dream headquarters.
The first part of the fight is easy with the Hunter Axe (transform it into the bigger two-hand version by pressing L1). Hold down the R2-Button to power up a strong attack when Father Gascoigne is heading your way. Timing is very important here and you need to get a good feeling for the distance between you and the boss. If you are too close he will hit you before you can perform your power attack. If you are too far away you will miss him and he may land a couple of devastating hits on you. Don't heal yourself right away after getting hit. Try to land a counter attack first as it will restore the health you've lost from the last hit and at the same time it damages the boss. When you've got the timing down you will barely need any health potions (only use them when you'd die from the next hit).
Using the R2 power attack will knock him over for a short moment. Now stand near the boss and wait until he gets up to strike you. Walk away just far enough so he won't hit you and perform another power attack with the axe (don't evade as it will delay your follow-up attack). You just need to wait for the boss to run into your Power Attack and repeat the process. You can also attack him from behind the tombstones and trees.
When he transforms into the monster (30% health left) you should keep throwing molotovs at him quickly. Don't mess around for too long as he will jump you and it's hard to evade his attacks. In this final monster form he is the strongest, so you should finish him off as fast as possible. Avoid melee combat when he is in his monster form (he strikes too quickly and does too much damage).
