I spent a couple hours trying to kill it the other day, at soul level 117 in NG+. Here is my build for that fight. I wasn't successful but I got her down to about 10% health. The easy way to start off is to go under the bridge and shoot her tail off with a bow, then shoot her body or wings until she is close to 33% health; in NG that will leave her with about 730-800 health. If you take her health any lower while she's on her perch, she will regenerate.

Then you have to move up top and engage her in melee. Hiding behind the wall, she will soon come down and walk near you. At that point, you'll need to deal enough damage to finish her off before she starts spamming her fire attacks.

Personally I just spammed WotG when her head got near me, dealing over 300 damage per use. That took her down a lot, but then she would back off and either start spamming her Fire Breath or just one-shot me with the Jumping Flame Dash attack. So far, I haven't had the opportunity to use great lightning spear or melee attacks. The pyromancy Flash Sweat would have been a huge help so I will purchase that for next time. For you sorcerers out there, perhaps Homing Crystal Soulmass and/or Soul Spear might do the job? If you're strictly melee, I would suggest bringing a lightning weapon.
