Chaos Storm, Great Gravelord Sword Dance, and Fire Tempest (+9 Pyromancy Glove for the pyromancies, Thorolund Talisman+20 Faith for the miracle) all stagger him in a single casting in NG. I have not verified if Fire Storm or the regular Sword Dance.

This is easiest to perform while Iron Tarkus is distracting the golem, as he will likely do enough damage immediately after the spell to knock the golem prone. The golem's HP will then be well within pushover range.
