The sage is going to be a nice change of pace from the last tree boss. For the most part, the fight is very straightforward, so here's a few tips to keep you going and get this guy brought down.
Step 1)Dodge his magical attacks.
This boss is strictly a magic user, so he will be throwing a lot of spells your way. They're very noticeable to see coming, being all purple and made of sparkling crystals. Quite lovely compared to having to burst a tree's sacs, right? They're gonna hurt if you get hit with them, so go in light and able to dodge out of the way.
Step 2)Run the gauntlet of his spells to get in close.
Like most magic users, he doesn't much like to stand up close and fight, and will try to keep his distance. Don't let him. Get in there and give him a couple of smacks with your weapon and he will teleport away. Once he pops in again you'll have to close the distance while dodging his spells to do it again. Every time he's gonna toss out some crystals on the ground to make the dodging harder, since if you accidentally roll into one of those stationary crystals it is going to hurt.
Step 3)Deal with his clones.
Once you get him to half health, he decides to make things a little more interesting. Whenever he teleports away from you he will come back with a couple of clones of himself that will all be throwing spells at you. These clones will die in one hit, and you can identify which are the clones from their spells being blue instead of purple. It's best to deal with the clones quickly and then go for the real one, that way you don't have to worry about stray spells coming from behind when you are getting your licks in on the real one.
That is the fight, get in, cut him up, and avoid his spells to do it again essentially. It can draw out a bit though, and constantly dodging the spells can lead to some slips and injuries. If you are still having trouble with him just because it's going on too long, try to work in some lightning damage, he seems to be rather weak to it. Good luck!
