Strategy
Titanite Demons appear to be weak to lightning. It is also possible to kill them with arrows, using debris to block their missile attacks. Another approach is luring them to the top of the lower stairs to render their horizontal sweeps useless (effective in Undead Parish only). When fighting Titanite Demons in Sen's Fortress, a Rusted Iron Ring is highly recommended as movement without one is extremely slow. The best melee approach any Titanite Demon is to position yourself behind its free arm, where it appears to be missing a leg. Although this position can be hard to maintain due to its jumping attacks, while here all of its attacks will miss you and you can score an easy hit or two. This strategy takes time, but you will eventually prevail. Combine with Gold Pine Resin for best results.
