Seems like if you don't want to cheese him with 300 arrows, you just have to be lucky how his behavior works. Just now, I lured him onto the bridge by hiding in the corner where his fire doesn't hit you, then kept hanging out between his feet (don't target), and hacking away. After a bit he hopped into the air and flipped, starting to back away towards Solaire's side of the bridge (trying to get me in toasting range), so I instantly ran over to him and continued giving him a pedicure. But in previous attempts at just this strategy, he would 1) fly back to the top of the tower and fill the entire bridge with killer flame 2) fly off entirely or 3) settle into a pattern of zipping back and forth along the bridge while blasting with fire, completely untouchable.

I used a +3 black knight greatsword so it didn't take that many hits. I'm sure if he'd backed up too far on the bridge, he would either fly off or just hop back into place and roast the entire bridge, with me on it.
