Can't you just spend a rotten egg to get your body and ultimately geo back?

You could except 1. It takes a while to get back there, might as well try to beat the boss again. 2. I didn't even know how eggs worked at that point (saw info about it online) and I bet I wasn't alone.

At least those dream bosses have the curtesy to not take your ♥♥♥♥ so you can take your business elsewhere.

I just beat this thing just to get my things back and it wasn't fun.

Same. I didn't know it was there until the gate had closed.

I didn't like the first round, let alone round 2. I'm really not sure how much Joni's blessing helped plus you had to hit him so many times! So glad I finally got past it.

just put on all your damage charms and spam attack. he'll die in like 4 secs. i only got hit twice before he was dead

Exactly what I did. I used Joni, and the two other live related charms and beat him the firtst time just by smashing and jumping.

Which charms are considered to be damage charms?

Just beat him after like 10 tries or so, I am not very far in the game so I only have the nail upgraded twice but I finally found the trick to beating him. Use Quickslash and any other charm combo you feel is necessary. Stay as close to him as possible, following him as he jumps. As soon as he primes or raises his laser hand, dash past him with the shadow cloak and repeat. I got hit once and killed him on my first try with this strat after trying a bunch of failed attempts. Hope it helps.

Damage Up: Fragile Strength

Faster Attacks: Quick Slash

Deals additional damage: Defender's Crest, Thorn Badge, Glowing Womb

Personally I'd recommend Joni's Blessing, Fragile Strength, and Quick Slash, and then just run into the Guardians body since that only deals 1 dmg. If you've upgraded your nail quite a bit, or you've got pure nail, the Crystal Guardian's 2nd form should die really fast.

This right here is what helped me. Thank you so much!!!

I didn't have quick slash or most of the charms in this thread. I beat him with the Weaversong, Dream Shield., Thorns of Agony, Sporeshroom and Grub Song.

Basically I did what another poster said and mostly hugged the right wall after the gate closed. Most of the vertical lasers miss you and his hand lasers are not too hard to dodge if you stay put and just pay attention to where he is pointing. He hops back and forth towards and away from you, usually I'd Focus to release the spore cloud and he'd hop towards me, and get hit with the dream shield, weavers and spore damage, and I'd wack him a couple times as well. He usually takes some damage and immediately hops back.

Just keep that up, occasionally you can walk over and take a shot at him or use a soul blast to hit him from afar. I tried a bunch of other charm combos but I don't have most of the good charms yet so this is all that worked for me. Yeah he is tough as heck and I died a crapload of times but I beat him with this combo on my second try.
