Nito *can* kill you instantly without fall control. In the time it takes for you to recover from a high drop, and then to drink the estus flask, and then actually start recovering health, Nito has enough time to strike you with his gravelord sword, most probably killing you.

It happened to me on my very first encounter. I *saw* the drop was high, so the plan was drop+estus immediately. What happened was drop+sword+dead. 0_o.

Now I always use fall control...
