My character level for this fight: 13
My weapon for this fight: Hunter Axe (one-hand version, no upgrades)
Cleric Beast is the first boss in the game. The basic strategy for this fight is to attack him from behind at all times. He is very slow and will rarely hit you when you are behind him. Should he hit you, keep in mind that counter-attacking him with some quick strikes will replenish your health. So instead of using up your health potions perform some counter attacks right away and you will get your health back + deal some damage at the same time. Don't waste too much stamina by dodging attacks. It doesn't matter if you get hit, as long as you have enough stamina left to perform a bunch of quick counter attacks. Despite being on a very low level I didn't have to use any health potions in this fight, simply because I performed enough counter attacks.
If you are really having trouble with this boss you can also throw Oil Urns and Molotov Cocktails at him. The Oil Urns will drastically increase the damage dealt by the Molotovs. This will take away a lot of his health and give you a good start for this fight.
