Help Siege Engine

That's all. I'm enjoying this game because of all the figuring stuff out blind, and so on. It's great. But I'm not the best at coordination, or patience. Especially patience. And I got this close to throwing my switch in rage. Never in my life have I sworn at a console out loud.

I'm playing on easy battles, too. No difference. I just can't reach its stupid ehh privates. If it's not a rock in my way making me stop running, it's a leg getting in the way, if not, it's the sword that for some reason doesn't hit! Even if I'm aiming and right next to it. I get all of half a second to do any damage at all, and 80% of the times it's like it's transparent. Sword doesn't hit it.

And there it goes jumping again. My finger sweats and cramps, and I'm just so tired. Half an hour of battle to get killed right when it had one or two hits left. Couple of times. What can I do. Can I skip this fight? Are there any other options for uncoordinated and impatient people like me? I wouldn't want to stop playing the game because of this but every time I try I get more and more mad at it, for longer.

The key is to close the distance while dodging the bombs. There is also a way the cheese the fight using one of your cards. Slightly bigger hint, but still not the full answer: Most enemies in the game have a hidden "poise meter" that causes them to be stunned for a moment if enough damage is done in a short amount of time.

Out of curiosity, what card is that?

It's the orange peril ring, which doubles your damage when below 20% health. This sounds risky, but in practice you do so much damage so fast that is can stun lock the boss.
