First 7-10 times he smashed me to pieces, but later I got it (btw I am pure meele str build), you just need to be patient and have good stability shield, Greatshield of Artorias recomended. And just keep close to him and hit him with 2h attack once after each combo, If you keep close after <50% of his health, he won't spam magic much even never ( it was the case in my battle) he has about 2-3 seconds of slowdown after each combo, so it is stable strategy, hardest is to get close to him, and remeber to lover your shield for stamina regen every possible moment, because even with GSoA he eats stamina off like crazy. He is one of easiest bosses IMHO.
