What is the strategy to dealing with this guy? Given how the quest was story progression limited, I'm not sure how high I can level before fighting this boss and finishing the questline.

I've been able to get to phase two a few times. In phase two, he re-enables healing, but I'm pretty sure he gains some type of damage reflection because I hit him with a hero strike and immediately lost the battle. He didn't even take a turn where he could have actually attacked, just, "Hey, I saw that you did 22k damage in one hit. Would you like to retry the battle?" I don't think that he's supposed to be beatable.
To my fellow gamers who wanted to play the game normal and are struggling with the Jurai Castle Boss i have found a simple but also long solution to beat him.
I Recommend upgrading your Attack and MP recovery speed by upgrading your character by either the sisters at sylva city by using echos(you will need to have the divine chrystal upgrade of "Nun's stations" in the fountain sylvia city) or by buying chromes and treasure that boost them. IT IS MANDETORY THAT YOU HAVE THE ADAMANTITE CHARM. you can get this at the shop at the Altomyostr training ground. With that I recommend to also carry as many Momo Fruits and Nurture-all potions as possible.
1st phase: the strategy in the first phase is to use Elicia as your "DPS" and Ran and Marie as "supports". use either Marie or Ran to feed Elicia with momo fruits to replenish her MP and keep spamming Shield Bash, this will do great damage, lower his defence and more importantly you need to inflict "confused" each turn, and with that first phase is ez breeze.
2nd Phase: DO NOT USE ANY MAGICAL ATTACKS, any attacks that require MP to use will result in an auto-fail. for this phase only use your MP for Marie's Shield, Elicia's Aegis Protection and Ran's Sacred Dance. while under protection of marie's shield you can use the plain standard attack but in this phase the adamantite charm will do all the work for you as long as you maintain shields up at all times.
3rd Phase: i dont want to spoil the 3rd phase cause it is actually very good and self explanitory compared to the other 2. My only advice is to follow the same plan as phase 2 but you can use more than jus the simple standard attack on this one.
With that you will be able to defeat the boss and finish Semen Demon sub-story.
Edit: please make sure all 3 characters have the adamantite charm equipted.
This is a mostly good guide, but to clarify:
Pre-fight: Use the Return Bell to escape back to town. Talk to Mandrake again and you can find an Adamantite Charm in the room of Mandrake plushies. You can buy two more from the Altomyostr merchant for 150 honor medals each. I also recommend purchasing the Resuscitation skill for everyone, Ran's Whisper of Sand skill, and Elucia's Aegis Protection skill from the nun.
Phase 1 (horse form): You are largely dependent on Elucia's Shield Bash to inflict a stun effect every turn. Ran's Whisper of Sand skill can help regenerate Elucia's MP. Since you have minimal HP, Marie's Magic Syntax does a lot of damage. Once he falls below half health, he will steal your shields and buffs, so stun lock as much as possible.
Phase 2 (rhino form): Keep your shields up above all. You have the chance to heal in this phase but one of his attacks inflicts a heal-block debuff. It is the only debuff in this phase so Soothing Salve can take care of it for everyone at once. He attacks more often in this phase but as long as your shields are up then the Adamantite Charms will deal reflect damage to him as he tries to break through. Focus on keeping everyone's MP charged and gradually healing.
Phase 3 (slime form): Don't Panic. Wait for the cutscene. You'll be fine.
The game was enjoyable until this singular questline. It went from enjoyable to the most rage inducing bullshit I have had to deal with in a very long time. This bullshit needs to be nerfed into oblivion or allowed to be skipped entirely for a win, because this is supposed to be a porn game, not a fucking Soulslike.
