Oh. That thing. That's a totally different fight, I think. It's not too bad if you know exactly what to do
I just spam lockon until it flips around then mash the shoot button on its weakspot like a maniac. Kills it very quickly in my experience
Almost managed to do it on hard mode at level 1 for lols but ate shit and died at the last possible second. The timer's a lot longer but you do so much less damage that it doesn't help
Phase 2 would've timed me out even if I survived

It's a real fucker of a fight. Easily the hardest one in the game, maybe barring some of the bonus stages.
I always get mixed up on whether I should be shooting the core and using lockon for the emeralds or the other way around, meaning I get fucked up by the boss's obnoxiously high damage counter-fire
It's not made any easier by how it comes right after the giant mecha-serpent boss
