if you solo him you HAVE TO attack his legs as soon as possible in the second phase or else he will just come to the ship and destroy it (cause it's quite difficult to push him far enough away again). Also use gong and ballista binder as often as possible. If you hit him with those two or destroy one of his legs, he'll go a few steps back wich gives you a little longer time to deal damage before he gets to the boat. I had MAJOR problems with him in the village quest, because I stayed at the ship and tried to spam ballista shots at his head. The Gold Guild Knight (nice name :D) already covered the strategy for the first part of the fight.
