[Claudius]

1. you have to learn typhons moves. You need some fire resistance for his fire breath and also vitality resistance because the fire does that too (demon charm). He shoots lightning also so if you have low lightning resist that might kill you. Meteors will pretty much kill you if he hits you with those but you should dodge away when he throws his hands up. You can dodge the lightning too but its nice if you can survive a mistake and drink a potion after running away. Life suck (red) so thats vitality resist again. Ok if he grows spikes run away and DONT hit him till they dissappear.

Basic strategy. Run at him wait for his attack and dodge it. If it hits you run away and drink a potion and hope you live. If you dodge it keep charging and wait for his next move. You might get 1 or 2 hits then he does meteors and you run away.

Sometimes he does this green thing and thats a good time to hit him alot because the green thing won't hurt you much. If he is physically beating with his fists now time to attack him just keep hitting the potion button and run away if he does meteors or try to dodge fire/lightning run away from life breath.

Use the shrines that surround the ring. The best two are the frost and the battle. The frost is the best because it slows down his attacks moves and you might get more hits but the battle is good because you hit faster for more damage.

If you are elementalist I would cast a lot of squall and eruption too since he will be hit by them.

2. Fire, lightning, cold (least important element), poison, piercing. Vitality and life drain, stun

For typhon as I said you need fire lightning pierce (spikes) bleeding (spikes) vitality + life drain

Less important:
skill disruption (not too important but sometimes you die because you are disrupted and cannot use skill), energy leach (only against 1 empusa otherwise worthless), bleeding (fire bull has bleeding death move)
