I'm not sure if it was some bug or what, but that boss was highly passive and very often would run off to the top platform and just punch at the air. The only thing that would fuck me up is the last Seraphim Shock, which you can actually skip if you time your burst right when he's at 33%. Honestly the fight wasn't 'bad' persay just sort of frustrating. The boss doesn't counter at all, because it's supposed to be a platforming boss fight, he really can't do ANYTHING, but sort of let you beat the shit out of him. Like most things that really piss me off in games, I had the fight totally figured out and could see how my own impatience was damning me.

Perhaps having the boss say "Come and get me" when he's running away properly, or making that run away cost him some many would really improve things. As it is you sit in the middle or bottom platform, beat on him, wait for him to warp back when he gets knocked down. If he decides to warp to the top the best thing is just to let him do that attack, since you're barely going to get up in time for the attack. Also you can make your combo longer but it seems if you don't knock him off the platform he warps to the to platform a lot quicker. It's just a slow fight where you're sitting and waiting most of the time jumping from ledge to ledge is supremely frustrating to me as well since holding the direction too long one way or not long enough the other can send you falling right to the floor.

What is really ball busting is putting another boss fight on the way back, in such a way that if you are having trouble and want to quit for a bit you need to reload, go gather the Divine Dust again, and then go back to the boss. Don't get me wrong, I love this game and I really think it's a close to perfect as one of these games can get. It's right up there with Cave Story but I like it more because it has really frantic messy combat. It's just so damn frustrating and tricky, I definitely get an Evil DM vibe from how some things are set up. It's like a more interesting less moe version of Fortune Summoners, however if all the characters were little girls it'd be pretty nice.
