Is Demon of Hatred really a hard boss?

I had a terrible time dying to him a lot back in 2023, that's a fact. Then I defeated him, learned how to manage the aggressive and careful play style and his patterns, but it took me everything; Budas, dragon blood drops, divine grass, rice, the whole thing.

As of this year, I got the game platinum and decided to go for the gauntlets. The Shura gauntlet got me so nervous, because I saw him there and he was the second to last. But as I was playing and getting crazy because of Inner Father, I realized I never lost a run to DoH, like not one of the gauntlet attempts! He was my most comfort boss in it. And I got this confusing feeling that, maybe I mastered this bastard?

NG+2 and +3 I defeated him as well, no big trouble, but the path until you get to him always makes me stressful, so I never realized that the fight itself was not so menacing anymore.

Do you feel that Demon of Hatred is an easy boss? Or is he a pain in the ass to this day?
