I actually thought the Demon of Hatred was one of the easier bosses in the game. Pretty slow, and very telegraphed attacks...all easy to dodge. If you need a little something extra, use divine confetti, and the malcontent upgraded whistle (this will stun him for a while).

Interesting, I had no idea confetti would buff attacks for this fight. I didn't use prosthetic tools much for the fight, but based on the amount of damage he dealt I wouldn't put him on my personal list of easiest bosses.

What I am finding is that these late game bosses tend to play out much differently in terms of pacing, as now I have 10 healing sips, so I can make a lot of mistakes and still win.

Yeah, fighting this demon is much easier with items and tools, I rarely use them as I almost always just beat bosses through deflecting except the headless and scichimen of course, but anyways, dying for an hour to the demon, I gave up and just used the confetti plus the rice for the third life pool, then, beat him in two tries, felt weird at first, but I just got tired of dying so yeah, then comes the final boss, now that one has to be my longest fight ever in the game.
