In phase two Rykard will reveal his true form and equip his disgusting sword. When the coast is clear move in again and keep attacking until phase one is over. You shouldn't be very close to the snake anyways, so just back up a little more if you see either of these attacks coming. The only concerns in this phase are his grab, which he telegraphs by opening his mouth wide and roaring and his poison breath which he telegraphs by leaking poison smoke from his mouth. The light attack takes very little stamina, so you should be able to attack a long time without stopping. Find a spot where your light attack can hit the snake's head, then put up your shield and start swinging. Because of the Serpent Hunter's long range you don't need to get all that close to hit him, and you wouldn't want to anyways because of the magma. The first phase of this fight is against the God-Devouring Serpent. This will let you block and attack at the same time. I recommend pairing the spear with a 100% physical block shield that has the Art of War: Barricade Ash on it. If you have a lot of Somber Smithing Stones you can use them to upgrade this weapon to make it more powerful. This fight is mostly trivialized by the Serpent Hunter, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't strategize.
