Well, you'll want to increase you strength and dexterity to the point where you can one-hand it efficiently. Next, you'll want either a heavy shield with good deflection, or learn how to dodge and time your swings efficiently. For armour, I suggest you go for something with good poise. The Wolf Ring may prove useful to you. Being staggered mid-swing is very annoying, and may potentially kill you. If you are going to use a shield, then wear the best armour you can while having a midroll. If you are going the dodging route, a fast roll is absolutely necesarry, IMHO.

Also, upgrade your endurance. Ultra Greatswords eat stamina like potato crisps.
