He for sure is difficult. I only barely beat him on ascended despite hours of practice. I literally fell into the void and died after landing the finishing hit. Luckily that's all you need to get the ascended badge for him.

Keep trying, after I beat him there I went in and got to the final boss first try (I had practiced all the other bosses earlier, to ensure I didn't die on them either). That's where I sit for now because I've never been good at this last boss, let alone with it being faster and I can't be bothered to practice it.

If you want a tip, I found that it's best to use the walls to avoid the swords and to juggle myself on his head when he does the shield-cyclone. Once you get him to second phase, unload all your soul into him with Shade Soul when he's vulnerable in the shield-cyclone again, then finish him off when you get the chance (with all 6 shots, if that doesn't kill him, he'll only be a few hits away)
