you can quickly reach him by dropping down by the bridge. As soon as you spawn at the snake trail, look left of the bridge, drop down where there is a snake enemy. Run past him to your destination. You want all the health you got for this fight.

What to watch out for. He immediately shoots out white darts, dodge forward to avoid this. This attack is usually followed up by him jumping in the air and shooting darts directly in front of him. Dodge forward. At this moment you can start getting some attacks in.
Like previous boss battles, using your basic attacks is your best bet. However you will need to stop yourself from wanting to finish your combo and completing staggering him. He will stop you before you can stagger him. Once you notice he starts to get a white aura around him and he starts to spin, immediately stop attacking and back up so you can prepare to dodge.

The real trick to this guy is just staying up in his face and attacking him swiftly. The challenge is watching for him to teleport behind you and spraying poison around him. Dodge sideways once he starts to drink something, he is about to spew out poison around him.
Just stay aggressive and go after his goons when they spawn. This is the best way to beat him.
