Speed doesn't really matter...you're not dodging attacks or even blocking...you're just tanking...if you're right in their face their attacks won't do shit and won't knock you down, but you need to stay literally chest-to-chest with them or else they will hurt you badly. If you want you can get your attunement up to 10 and buy Iron Flesh off of the pyromancer in Firelink, you'll be slow as shit but an absolute tank for 30 seconds...more than enough time to dispatch the first king and recast.


I tried, firelink guy disappeared.. Dunno where to get that cast now.

Only he sells that spell. If you're still having trouble put on your heaviest gear in terms of def and poise. Probably haves set and then 2h your best weapon and sit there smacking them.
I believe 1000 damage kills the first one. Plus if you're 2h a weapon, use grass crest shield for stamina regen.
But ideally speaking, iron flesh from the pyro trainer at fire link is the easiest way to beat them

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 :lol:




i killed the pyro guy the first time i met him cause my friend's always "PYRO ES THE BEST EVAR NEED MOAR PYRO"

Similar tactic is just to use the pillars and get in 1 hit every so often

The Dark Wood Grain Ring drops from Shiva's bodyguard. He's the dude standing outside of one of the 2 interlinked ruins in the Darkroot Forest. You need to join the Forest Hunter for him to be there. His ninja bodyguard drops the ring. What you need to do is join the Forest Hunter and warp out of there and then go find them by the waterwheel at the bottom of Blighttown. That way you can buy the Washing Pole & Laito from him, both good weapons to enchant. His ninja bodyguard should be standing somewhere behind him, he's ethereal.

The ring you find in the Catacombs is the Darkmoon Seance Ring. (Let's you join Blade of the Dark Moon & lets you fight Dark Sun Gwyndolin) You don't need the ring to fight Gwyndolin though, all you need do for that is shoot the titty monster in Anor Londo, she'll die and then the whole place goes dark and there's no monsters. Just know if you kill Gwyndolin the firekeeper will hostile you, and you'll be forced to end her. Atleast you can up your flask, you won't need to go back to Anor Londo after that unless you haven't done Painted World yet.
