You'd have to burn an Ascetic in the Upper Earthen Peak (I think that's the name of it) bonfire, which is the one right above the entrance to the boss fight. You can get to it by going straight after the Desert Sorceresses and up the stairs, then turn left. You'll have to kill a Red Phantom to get to the bonfire, though (assuming you haven't done it already).
