How can I beat the Ceaseless Discharge boss without using the cheese where you run to the white gate ?

Hello,

I'm not new to Souls games. I've beaten DS3, Sekiro, Lies of P and many others multiple times. Whenever I get stuck on a boss I do look up "get gud" guides to help me figure out what to focus on. I don't like cheese methods as they usually completely trivialize fights.

Unfortunately, when I look up guides for how to beat the Ceaseless Discharge they all recommend running to the white gate so the boss can fall off and die. Are there any other viable ways to kill it without resorting to the cheese or is this what you are supposed to do ?

Thanks!
