Weird difficulty balance?

Dunno if it's a bug or what, but I had to reduce the difficulty of the game only because of this guy... The fight (and this is only the first fight with this guy as I noticed...) is programmed... weird. It was more like a fight with game's design choices than with this murderer of crowned... CD Project really wanted to make Dark Souls but Poland is not Japan...

BTW, the game is spectacular even on lowest graphical settings it is beautiful but combat as in W1 is not as good as everything else...
