Tarkus simply depends on if the Golem starts spamming his grab attack or not.

Lautrec won't kill the fire keeper until you ring the second bell, get 3 fire keeper souls or get the Parish and Blighttown fire keeper souls. And his ring is usually a part of a planned build rather than just being used randomly. So testing him isn't that hard to do. And he isn't that hard to kill afterwards anyways. Just kill the mage then make the other two walk up the stairs and parry Lautrec there.

As far as my experiences go; both can solo the gargoyles but neither can solo Gaping. (Lautrec is however, much better for that fight. Solaire dies nearly every time.)
