Fuck, did you speak to any of the witches in blighttown or get any of their chaos spells? If you do that the guy takes off trying to find the spells. He's probably down in the swamp now, but he's hollowed and will attack you. You're basically fucked on Iron Flesh. Word of warning though, Iron Flesh definitely isn't required for Four Kings, I didn't use it myself personally...but I found Iron Flesh to be invaluable against Gywn (the final boss) unless you're either A. very good at Riposte, or B. ready to cheap it up with a pillar, because aside from that he's damn near impossible to go head to head with unless you're a parry beast or can maintain your patience circling a pillar.
dodge gwyn attack
put pillar / one of those cauldrons with fire between you and him -> cast crystal homing soul missile / crystal soul spear / white dragon breath
gwyn dies in ~15-20 seconds
or do what i did on ng+
complete the solaire quest line -> have him tank for you -> shoot gwyn with 8 crystal soul spears + a few white dragon breaths
i killed the pyro guy the first time i met him cause my friend's always "PYRO ES THE BEST EVAR NEED MOAR PYRO"
