Brachy tail is a pain to get, especially if soloing, since he's always turning. Early on you're gonna have some more problems since you bounce if you hit the tip of the tail(mace shaped) with anything below white sharpness. Focus on tail when he's knocked down and use a shock trap when he's exhausted to get some free hits on the tail. His gems seem rarer than his heavenlies(dual bracchi for heavenlies), so killing is generally a lot better for gems/heavenlies, since you have the chance to carve one or get one in rewards.
