I would suggest being a flawless swordsman, never healer, playing no shield, no armor, just go in there naked and equip that hollow ring with your weapon. Start learning his moves, depending how go you are you might take 3h or more. I have the Pursuer greatsword +4 and i hit him for 500- in the back. I think the NPCs are useless mostly carhillion, deals no damage and dies instantly. The hand to hand one near the bonfire is alright but will most likely die in the 2th phase.

No easy way to cut it really, this DLC is a huge "fuck you" to most heavy armor/shield knights. Don't think about blocking his attacks when is sword is on fire, even with the Grym shield and the Smelter demon set you still take an uncontrolable amount of damage.
