Damn I finally killed him today, it's a really great boss fight once you know what you're doing, quite satysfying.

Here's some tips if you're having trouble, at least they worked for me:

-Do not summon the NPC phantoms. All they do is raise the boss's HP, and they'll probably have less than half health before the actual fight even starts. Instead, search for the 3 trusty knights. Player summons, I do not know, depends on the player's skill. I did not find any so I went solo.

-Do not block his attacks; dodge them instead. He pounds through your stamina and leaves you vulnerable to combos.

-Do not try to heal everytime your health is low, try to find the right opportunity, dodge out of harm's way until you do. Usually you can heal when he buffs his sword or when he pierces the ground with it going for the AoE attack, just be sure to get out of this attack's range in order to heal.

-Most importantly, time your dodges well, sometimes he delays a little, do not go for a roll everytime he as much as twitches.

I did not use any heavy protecting armor, and my weapon was a straight sword, but that is up to you. I did have a shield for the first part where you fight the charred knights, and it still might help you in the fight with the king, just don't rely too much on it.
