It took me AGES to beat this boss. Well, it felt like that, died like 5-6 times before killing him by spamming Flame Swathe and Fire Orb with I think a +4 Pyromancy and 50 ATN and 52 INT. I will say the smaller rat-things are mostly the problem as you cannot kill them without alerting him and getting him aggroed onto you. If you are a magic build, use Pyromancy, and I suggest not using Fire Storm as it is relatively low damage compared to Flame Swathe, and after he takes the initial hit he will walk right through and smack you with a harsh attack.

Tl;dr: Use Fire magic, avoid Fire Storm usage, suggestions are Flame Swathe and Fire Orb. Possibly have the Clear Bluestone Ring +1 equipped as well.
