The platform to the left is not as safe as implied, because in order to be safely out of range of the Giant Lord's hits, you'll need to stand in the corner of the fire patch. However, with decent fire resistance, some poise, active use of lifegems and a hard hitting ranged attack, it is entirely possible. Just be careful, because the fire will wear down the durability of your equipment quite quickly.

It's a cheap tactic, I know, but none of my other attempts were successful.
