Use Ashes or items offering an advantage in combat.

This way you will only have to worry about heavy stomps.

The enemy can also fire magic projectiles that home towards you.

If you happen to be on foot at that moment, just dodge as the projectile approaches your character.

Being struck by the fire may mean instant death.

The dragon will also breathe fire while on the ground.

At that point, it aims to where you have been and follows you to some extent.

Avoid it by dashing.
