Get the GSoA and use that or maybe even Havels shield, dont try and parry/riposte! Equip Havels ring and if you are not using the RoFaP then use the Darkwood Grain Ring!
Equip your best physical/poise and fire resistant armour and just tank and attack!
I had the GSoA and Black Knight Sword +5 and killed him on the first try first playthrough BLIND (meaning I had not watched or read anything about him) I wish I did as you can actually farm the Knights leading up there for Slabs/Chunks.. but anyway..
Use a Greatshield/Good weapon, I am not sure if the Zweihander will stagger him, his armour is not that great so it may.. a Lightning weapon may work as well! I am quite sure you can backstab him too so just circle around him and wait for him to attack, the shield will/can open him up for the backstab!
Good luck! well you are on NG+++ or something
you have beaten him like 4 times already
