I just passed there i summoned the NPC but i could do much damage. However the glitch helped me when i got swallowed and he end up on the ceiling, drop dead.
You can do damage just fine, You roll past the lava twice to get onto the center platform and you have all the space you should need.
Having the ring IS a totally different story, but by no means should you die so easily without it (as I helped phantom the thing the first 3 times without the ring [didn't kill it myself yet], and every time the host died).
