Took forever to figure that guy out. He's WAY too quick for me and I can't parry to save my life. I used Great Combustion, Great Fireball and two slots of Fire Orb. Great Combustion was last and I had several left as he died. My pyromancy flame was all of the way up too.
I wore the Black Iron Set fully upgraded and the BK Shield +5, had the Dark Wood Grain Ring for quick movement and had to break down and wear the Ring of Favor since I hadn't put much into Hit Points. Only had 1,200 and I needed every bit of them.
I think the trick is to quickly run to the left and continue working your way around that first rather large stalagmite. That way he keeps bungling his leap attack where he flies through the air and MURDERS me nearly every time if I don't get my shield up. He also stabs THROUGH the other stalagmites so those are useless to hide behind.
I hope this helps others who have run up against a brick wall trying to defeat this guy like I did. I felt I needed to join in and stop being a lurker. Learned a ton from this site! Thanks all.
