After 3026 tries, I finally beat this.

I'd say I beat it an "indie" way and thought I'd post it if anyone else wanted to try it.

BUILD:

Pure Nail

Sharp Shadow

Mark of Pride (or Longnail if you haven't gotten the charm notch from our dramatic man)

Unbreakable Strength (Or breakable if you're feeling confident. I was not)

Quick Slash

WHY AND HOW:

I can't live without sharp shadow. The extra damage when dodging adds up in this battle, and the extra "mileage" can help so much when platforming. As for the combination of quick slash and strength: I wanted a build where I was 1) used to using the charms all the time and 2) GET IN GET OUT.

The unbreakable strength helps minimize the time you spend fighting and gives you more gaps in-between enemy spawns if you spam your nail. THIS ALSO helps the boss fight end as quickly as it came.

By try 1072 I realized it would have to be pure luck with damage dealt to me in the end after the no-ground area. I would just say repitition, and find which enemies are best for your playstyle to leave to regen, or get out of the way. I'm very conservative with nail arts and dream nailing as my mind has trouble focusing on... all of that. But I still beat it. Find your ins and use them as best as you can!
