Learn Sloth, Weakness and Carnage spells if you are having a difficult time. Sloth in particular completely trivializes the difficulty because it slows every enemy (including bosses) to a crawl so I had to stop using it after a while. Also Stance matters... a lot. So make sure you practice each one since all three are very useful against particular enemies.

The game is awesome. Boss fights were definitely the highlight for me. It even has the hardest optional boss (or a certain duo rather) in a Souls style game.
