Interesting, wish I would have read this post sooner. What I ended up doing is getting to the point where you're standing near the archway, then I used the amiibo that drops metal boxes (can't remember which one it is, maybe the guardian?), after the metal boxes dropped I was able to delicately stack them high enough so that I could jump/glide to a spot past the slime!
