I tried all of the different cheese methods that I saw online, but this is the one that I had the best luck with. Idk if it was patched out, but I have tried that with no luck. He always comes straight to me.
I just tried it, same strats and everything. (I also did the fight about 5 x's in a row) I can say for certain this does still work. It is all about timing the pot throws. Make sure you have enough pots as well. You can get 10 without fighting very many enemies.
