All it takes is a capped poison resistance.
Then it's poison bite hurts , but most definitely doesn't kill , even without help from colossus or battle standard.
It also takes some patience , the thing has an absurd amount of life.

The other point that applies to all bosses , is that slowing makes them easy.
Their potential one-shots almost always have very lengthy and very distinctive animations , dodging them at half speed shouldn't be a problem.

Though there are still attacks , like the poison bite of the hydra , that just don't have the warning signs (it looks no different than a normal attack).
Bosses with attacks like that are the only ones that can give me any trouble.

I said that specifically in the post; stock up on poison resist and a **** load of potions
