I don't know why people say the sorcerer is God mode. Unless you level your character up ridiculously, everything can pretty much one-shot you and your arrows cast too slowly. I found the soul level 1 pyromancer easier to use than a level 26 sorcerer.

That being said, a soul level 1 character (pyromancer) with a light crossbow, the fog ring, and slumbering ring can easily wipe Nito out. With the sorcerer you would probably have to two had the shortbow instead (I've not tried it with the sorcerer). You walk to a rock formation in the center of the area, walk forward until you can barely target select Nito on your right hand side (not his skeleton friend) and he will start to move toward you but at a trajectory that gets him caught behind the rocks. You then just keep shooting until he dies. Easiest fight in the game.

The bandit has an even easier time with the heavy crossbow. Nito has no chance.

However, if you accidentally shoot his giant skeleton friend, prepare to mobbed by skeletons. You must target Nito and only Nito and don't stop shooting unless he's dead or he spams you with a magic attack. Just estus and go back to the same position and keep shooting. The skeletons will not detect you.

I've done this with a starting level pyromancer, starting level bandit, and starting level deprived. I've not tried it with the sorcerer, but I think you would just have to two hand the shortbow with the sorcerer instead of using the crossbow.
