I hated this boss and still do, but I'm proud that I managed to kill it with just a Sharpened Nail. I'm not very far in the game (just got the Dream Nail a bit ago), but I've been extremely thorough with what I can get, so I had seven Masks and seven Notches at the time. With Joni's Blessing, Lifeblood Heart, and Thorns of Agony, I jumped up against Flukemarm's side and nail jumped over and over, counting on the Flukefeys to hit me, triggering Thorns of Agony to deal damage to Flukemarm and also kill the Flukefeys. I killed it on my first try using this strategy, discovered after some experimentation, and even finished with a Mask to spare that got used up to kill the lingering Flukefeys.

That said, this boss is terribly balanced if it is borderline impossible without cheese when you have the Sharpened Nail but becomes a joke once you have the Channeled Nail, as I have gathered from other comments.
