i recommend getting the first one so that u understand the mechanics and all of the references that goes along with it. It costs about $17.99. I u dont wanna get the first one and just jump into the second one itll cost u about $60 new or $50 used. BUT all of us here(Im Sure) will recommend that u get the first one first, then if u like it, get the 2nd one. Thats exactly what @His Reverence told me to do and i have no regrets. So if u do plan to get it, PREPARE TO DIE!
Eh cant afford that right now D:

You don't have to fight him. But if you insist on it, run straight ahead. You'll find alcoves you can duck into that house the necromancers that keep reviving the skeletons. If you're out in the main area where the chariot is, you die. That simple. You'll figure the rest out from there I'm sure.
Like Cyber said. Just sprint from hiding spot to hiding spot until you reach the end of the track. From there you can make the chariot crash, and after that, he's very straightforward. I personally found this one of the easiest boss fights.
but the Covetous Demon is my one true love
Are you guys playing this on the PC? I heard its terribly optimized on the consoles
PS3
I'm playing on PC. I don't currently have a current gen system so I'm forced to play on PC really. Thankfully my PC is solid enough to run the game at 1080p and 60fps. Surprisingly well optimized game. I played the first Dark Souls on 360 and Demon's Souls on PS3 obviously. Never finished Demon's Souls though. Didn't get into it for some reason the way I did Dark Souls.
Finally got into Brightstone Cove Tseldora. Final Primal Bonfire, here I come. I'm at the third bonfire so, from what I gather, I'm near enough to the boss. I'm debating summoning someone to kite the boss so that I can just launch a few high level sorceries and slaughter it or actually trying to fight it. Decisions.

The boss is really, really, really easy. Summoning someone for help is not necessary in the slightest.
You'll one-shot the boss no difficulty. Just be sure to bring repair powder with you since it's a ways between the bonfire and the boss.
Haha, I told you.
Assuming you're using a melee-only build: Try to get in as many hits as early as you can, since he appears to buff himself after a certain period of time, rather than after receiving a certain amount of damage. Do not try to blocks his attacks after he buffs his sword (unless by some chance you happen to have a 100% fire shield at this time, which I did not). He will tear right through it. Instead, lock onto him and doge roll to his left (your right) as he swings. You'll begin to notice his patterns. When he's open (and in buffed form) do not be greedy. With a slow weapon, one maybe two strikes will be all you do before backing up a bit to repeat the process.
The hardest part is that you will be receiving passive fire damage for simply standing near the demon after he infuses/buffs himself, and he's not prone to giving you a lot of openings to heal. If you have lightstones to spare, feel free to use them to help negate the fire DoT. Otherwise, if you're low on health, back up and patiently dodge his attacks, staying out of his passive fire range. If you see an opening where you would normally strike, don't. Don't heal, either. He will smack you right out of it. Instead, wait until he does his giant leaping attack, and stay within mid-range. This will bait him to do the follow-up (where he cranks the sword and makes a giant fire cloud that covers 70% of the arena). Walk out of that once you feel you've baited him by staying close enough (mid range). This attack has a huge recovery for him, and is the safest time for you to heal with your Estus Flask.
Your goal is to get through the fight without being struck, and reserving your health pool for the mandatory fire damage you'll receive simply by standing near him. I did this fight with my Bastard Sword and a Great Shield, btw.

Hidden body in DS is so goooood. Can't believe I've never used this.
