How do I get past the new final form of Escribar? (wounds of eventide true ending)

[Skullz]

I have no clue why they decided to structure the boss fight this way. I've been stuck on this for the past half hour, maybe that just means I'm ♥♥♥♥ at the game but so be it. I'm going to put my pride aside for a second here, and just describe the situation in case there's something I missed, or I've been glitched out or something.

There is no health bar for Escribar. I have no idea how far along I am until his attack pattern changes, or he repeats one of his quotes. I can't use any prayers or rosary beads, my bile flasks are useless since I have penitence of true guilt, and on top of all of that I literally can't even pause the game to think for two seconds. Every time I die Crisanta brings me back to the start of the segment, which would be a nice change of pace except for the fact that Escribar's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ infuriating voice clip where he rambles on about the miracle repeats unskippably.

Any tips? Anything at all? Please.


EDIT:
I finally managed to beat Escribar, eventually figured out his attack pattern and with a bit of good timing and dumb luck I managed to just barely scrape by. For anyone that is going to do the true ending in wounds of eventide (very cool ending scene btw) I would strongly advise AGAINST picking the Penitence of True Guilt path.
Thanks for the tips folks.

Some thoughts:

1. I'm curious and so this is experimental, but does the rosary bead that shows enemy health (Calcified Eye off Erudition) work on final Escribar? I'm too lazy to try, and since you're there, well...

EDIT: Not as lazy as I thought. I can confirm... this does not work... :-(

2. The dialogue is Escribar's 'healthbar.' Lines get triggered as his health goes down.

3. Since you're True Guilt, try using a lot of Blood Projectile when E is using fire or lightning

4. When E uses the poison balls, you can destroy them with your sword. I think parrying works too.

5. You're also going to need to do a lot of jump slashy-slashy

6. When Crisanta appears, make sure you're ducking behind her until the giant laser

What happened to your flasks?

Like I said, I picked the penitence of true guilt option for NG+, which changes your bile flasks so they only replenish fervor instead of health. This is fine normally because I can actually use spells, but my spells are all gone in this boss fight so I'm pretty much ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in terms of health.

I'll give some of the other tips a try, hopefully I can complete this version of the game soon and preserve whatever little scraps of my sanity are left lol

all you have to do is just keep hitting him, eventually the battle will end.

going to this fight with that penitence was not the smartest move XD

"I've been stuck on this for the past half hour"

lol. 30mins in and already doubting himself.
Relax. I have been stuck with bosses for longer in Blasphemous, especally NG+ , where all enemies are harder.

About you question.

You cant use any magic on him and health is useless on him(been there just yesterday, same situation).

There is no other way than face him all over and over again, where you can not only read his patterns but your reactions and actions are almost instinctive.

When he is flying with those green balls around, get in there immediately, strafe attack those first balls and you can almost always destroy all four. Then attack him endlessly and make those upper finish attack moves.

Fire balls, get close to him and slowly move further away, most balls will be thrown outside the frame down under you.

Green balls, eight, almost same manuveur: strife into him but focus more on him than the balls, you attack him while most balls will be destroyed by you as he moves.

Laser attack is easy to recognize and go fast behind Crisanta.

Final form, go immediately to him and attack him with sword attacks and aim for upper finishing moves.
