Eagle Shield and Silver Pendant worked for me. I did it with a spear aswell, but you should be able to get through the fight with any weapon.

Just watch your stamina, pop the Pendant when he does any Dark Sorcery (the homing version can get stuck above you so you may have to roll away when the shield dissappears) and use the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring on your way there for Humanity. And make sure you have maxed the bonfire's kindling and use Humanity for healing during the Chasm, then use estus at Manus. You can also summon Sif and I think his HP remains unaffected, haven't tested though.
