My suggested tactic against this sucker is to first use Vengeful Spirit to shoot him as often as you can, and then to charge up cyclone slash, and walk right up to his face. When he opens his mask to hit you, you release attack, and mash the attack button, so you can do all 7 of your cyclone slash damage. If you're able to attack him at distance 3 times or more he will die from the cyclone slash before he hits you, given you have a coiled nail.

If you can't kill him in one go, because you didn't have enough soul to shoot him 3 times, he will hit you after the first cyclone slash. Just dash away from him, and repeat the cyclone slash treatment. He will likely die the second time. If you have to go in for a third cyclone slash, consider going out to upgrade your nail and soul containers before you return.

The cyclone slash is effective because you can hit him on each cycle, because he doesn't get nocked back out of range.
