I got motivated and played through again because the game is short.

Tried the lazy holy water no stockpiling hearts method three times

I couldn't really get it to stunlock his second form. But I did realize that if I play more calmly and don't focus so hard on throwing 3 crosses at his head jumping his fireballs is easy if I just wait a second after he launches them to jump. So it was good practice playing through his first form without the crosses a few times.

Decided to use this better dodging and stock up some triple cross hearts and beat him in one try only taking two hits. (Three crosses do kill the second form fairly quickly)

So 4 tries much better than 15. Maybe next time I'll chain the best of the two runs together and beat the game without continuing.
