It's basically just Samael and Deimoss in the same fight; after that I think he does al lele damage, but no magical

In the arena you have -2 max res. For every 1.5k hp above 17k (or 16.5k, not sure) you get an additional -1 max res. There is no flat resistance penalty. Reaching 50% physical res is recommended, as in the 2nd phase desolation might otherwise kill you even if you have all buffs collected. Poison hits hard in this fight and avoid helps a lot against it, but if you don't have avoid you might have to get more max poison res and/or life.

As marrt commented, it's MAX RES based on total life -2; it's like fighting Phoboss, you need max res overcapped if you want to be capped for the fight, but you need 2% max + hp dependent amount in all res. Might be worth gearing down to 16.5/17k hp
