The Four Kings don't like lightning based attacks, so some Gold Pine Resin or Sunlight Blade should help drop them fast and magic barrier with Havel's Armour should reduce damage.

In NG+ try getting 50 STR, 40 END, 40 DEX and 50 Faith (you will also need about 4 or 6magic slots) to use my strategy for taking the down solo.

As for the gear, Havel Armour, 2 Great Magic Barrier spells, 2 Sunlight Blade spells, a Claymore +15, Ivory or Darkmoon Talisman's and the Cloranthy Ring.

The strategy is simple, cast sunlight blade and great magic barrier as soon as you land, use the Claymore in two hands to attack them. The only risks are when GMB expires, but Havel's Armour should prevent you from being staggered to recast and heal yourself (the figh should take less then 2 minutes win or lose)
