Yes, it's about prioritizing and managing threats. You know where the boss is and how often an attack will come (Nito's gravelord sword is on a timer), so you have to attack/advance in between the gaps in the timing.

yeah but every boss is like that to some degree. you're basically just describing all of the game's gameplay here, nothing specific to Nito

Pretty much. And a divine weapon completely trivializes that entire fight.

Even just limiting it to bosses where there are multiple enemies, the Gargoyles does the "managing threats" aspect way better. The Capra Demon does it, but in a cheap way. Ornstein and Smough is pretty much the pinnacle of "managing and prioritizing threats". And Pinwheel is a thing, probably a more interesting fight if anyone ever bothered doing it early on, but everyone does it late in the game.

Nito actually does it worse than any of them save Capra Demon, because there isn't really any "managing" of threats. If you're using a divine weapon, then quickly kill the skeletons, then Nito. If not, focus on Nito and drop him in a few seconds because he has such low health. The correct way to manage the threats is basically to ignore them...
