Rhoy isnt difficult, and using a bonfire ascetic to respawn him wont reset the boss. however there is one other phantom i kno which also spawn around 11 times. Bowman Guthry, (although i think u have to fight the royal rat authority to use ascetics to respawn him) in the doors of Pharros at the Gyrms Respite bonfire, u go out and run a bit to the left of the mastodon soldier guy and u go thru a doorway and onto a ledge. u can see Guthry spawn as u run there, once ur on that ledge deal with rat dog that follows u, then u can easily take care of Guthry, he never does melee and all u have to do is stand around on the ledge and wait for him to shoot, u can hide behind a wall and then pretty much run and swing at him.

Guthry is easy since he doesnt engage in melee but u have to beat royal rat authority to respawn him

Rhoy is ok in melee but u dont have to beat rat vanguard to respawn him, take ur pick.
