The biggest issue with it is the fact that a majority of the better codes and abilities are gate-kept behind white castle which this creature essentially guards the door to. The game effectively tells you that unless you play like a pansy and poke it with ranged attacks while you let Yakumo fight the battle for you then you're gonna be in for a bad time.

The Poison DOT is crippling especially with how little healing you have at the time, and some of the attacks it has are a little tricky to dodge. That one where it charges you leaving poison clouds being the worst offender since it can come in from weird angles/timings. Its not the hardest thing in the game but its hard for an early boss.
