Position yourself near the steps leading to the first platform where the fireballs land and look up. You'll see him quite clearly. Just arrow him to death, takes a while but it's better than being roasted before you get to the bonfire. Poison arrows work too.
Hah, that is how I always deal with him nowadays. Only ever actually got up to his perch to kill him once, and that time I just spammed arrows from inside the spiral staircase. The only problem with shooting him from right before the first schorched ground spot he can hit, is that it seems you can only hit him during his throw animation (when he pulls back and swings forward to toss his hatred at you, or he is trolling and the hatred is mine ) which makes killing him a bit slower than it could be. But hitting him with the black bow of pharis is pretty easy, so I just always snipe with a few poison arrows, then switch to normal till the poison wears off and re-apply it then.
You can also kill the giant that drops the boulders in the hole. This stops the boulders from spawning down below, but he comes back if you rest at a bonfire.
