When he is raising his large blade, be sure to memorize the timing for the attack to impact, so that you can be prepared to guard at the perfect time, and riposte with an almighty parry.

Additionally, if you see a window for a charged attack, take it so that you can deal some significant damage to his health bar. Keep whittling away, and the Mad Donkey will soon be no more.
