If you don't have great armour, ranged weapons are a smart choice since trying to melee him will probably get you killed. I'd personally choose Meteor Shot and the Musket (or the Minishark if you can afford it), otherwise about 100 Shurikens. Also, you'd be stupid to try this without the 200 HP Healing Potions at any tier of armour.
