Nosk was a cool boss and a completely optional one at that. The entire area that he is located in isn't essential to game completion at all. Nosk is also one of the only bosses (perhaps the only one) that you can "cheese" him to death by simply hiding on one of the platforms to the left or right of where he first appears. He stands almost no chance of hitting you in those spots.

correction. he can still hit you with the roof attack, but to avert that all you have to do is move to the other side once he goes up top.
I figured it out quickly on my second or third attempt and defeat it easily after that. Then I started to look for ways to cheese other enemies too. I think one of the dream bosses, a creature found in Queen's garden who rolls like a ball and deals damage, can be cheesed too if you go in the corner and just time your nail strike when it hit you. Sorry, I forgot the name of that boss. It was totally optional too.
