Thanks for the tips. Any idea if pyromancy is effective? I have my ascended flame maxed out, but the casting time seems kind of slow on most spells and Artorias isn't kind enough to wait :D

I was also wondering if it would be a good idea to drop my summon sign outside his gate. It would give me practice and (probably) be fun, but he would have 50% more health so I could possibly be screwing over the host if I do poorly.

There are a few things I think leveling up would help me

-DEX: faster spellcasting, more damage with sword

-INT: Soul spear, crystal catalyst, 5 homing mass instead of 4 (essentially 25% extra damage)

-END/VIT: FaP ring would be a viable option and make it easier to get under 25%

But like I said, I do want to stay in co-op range so I don't want to level up too much.
