Zarokh, the Temporal instantly killing during Sands of Time mechanic

So, recently I've been experiencing some enfuriating bugs with Zarokh, the Temporal. As we reach a certain point of the fight he goes out of the arena and does the Sands of Time mechanic. We have a few seconds to step on a few objects to avoid being instantly killed by him (as though I absolutely and passionately hate instakill mechanics, its not that hard after you learn how to do it). He does this mechanic two times in the fight, but I'm still not quite certain about each breakpoint.

So, the problem is that this mechanic's timer STILL RUNS IN THE BACKGROUND if you solve it with time to spare, and if you manage to make him go into the second Sands of Time BEFORE that timer ends, this happens:



As you can see in the screenshot, he used his killing nose boop attack from Sands of Time BEFORE triggering the mechanic to start. I'm being punished because I upgraded my character too much. It is easily reproducible by not having enough DPS to kill him before he goes into the second Sands of Time.

I have seen a few other posts having the same issue, and most of them have video about this bug:
