i have characters either on normal or easy.. i'm not going to set the game to story just for a boss.
the parts where you have to battle the pensive guards take a while as i'm having trouble killing them, i ran out of wiggen weld potions i think half way the trail and then i only had the two the trial gives you for the fight against the really big one.
sometimes i get a protego prompt while also getting a dodge one ( the red one ) right away after it so i get hit anyway.

My advice would be to move around a lot; do not stay in one place for more than a few seconds. And pay attention to the cues for blockable and unblockable attacks. (Yeah, sometimes you just can't avoid getting hit. It sucks.) Expelliarmus is useful against them, as it makes your attacks temporarily do more damage; Maxima potions are also good for this reason. You can throw cabbages at them. I believe that Talents unlock after you find the Map Chamber, so the ones that let you throw out more than one cabbage at a time, and the swift dodge talent, and the ones that make wiggenweld potions heal you more effectively. Whenever possible, I like to Levioso the small statues and hit them off the edge of the battle arena, into the abyss (Accio works for this too, you just have to hit them more times). For the larger statues, Accio drags them a little bit towards you, but it's enough to temporarily catch them off-guard and make your attacks do more damage for a minute.
I assume that when one of the statues jumps and slams into the ground, you already know to get out of the way of the blue aura.

yea, it's the throwing and dash attacks that are a problem mostly the one you need to protego and dodge, as mentioned earlier they happen a lot right after each other so i get hit by the attack i needed to dodge, becuase me casting protego overrides the dodge.
so i get hit by the attack i couldn't dodge get stunned / thrown on the ground and i get hit right after by a jump attack i couldn't dodge in time either.
