Any tips for Abarghus?

Will mention first, was pretty neat to get this for free at PAX East '13 with the ninja girls handing out paper shuriken.

This... thing, though, just totally has my number no matter what I use. I'm not particularly great at this game, but I feel like I've gotta be missing something. Moreover, if I'm using a short range weapon and let's say, shurikens or something, can it even be hit? And is it just one tick of health that you can take off per pattern (bombs/enemy, fist, acid)? Thank you!

I've made a quick Abarghus kill video.
It's a custom map, somewhat bigger than the original, but the concept is the same and can be applied in the original map.

I have no idea how you are doing the things you do. xD There's a scythe which I've never seen before and some huge dashes.

Edit: I actually almost won my fight this time. The magic is helping!

I got him! Wow that magic just kinda takes a few bars off offscreen haha. Thanks for the help.

Good job! and no problem!
The wind magic pretty much cheeses out the fight.

As for the scythe - it's a DLC weapon. Mainly used to speedrun, but I've pretty much got used to it.
You can hit the one armed ninja multiple times if you stand near him just before he starts flashing, and spam jump + down. (can be done while moving, but more difficult to execute)
