King's Set:
You know those chests that are on the burning floors outside the Smelter Demon room?
Beat Vendrick, go to the second fire in Shrine of Amana (yes, the Shrine. Again), and travel past the first wall on your right. On your left will be an environmental wall and you will see some branches covering up a door. Find the underwater bridge and cross it (all the while being pelted by the damn caster from forever away, or you could go kill it), go through the branches and open the door. Vendrick's Souls is the first thing you see, go to the left and the set is inside a chest.
I originally built enough endurance to support a full Vengarl's and a sword, chime, and shield while staying below 70% weight. May reallocate points because I'm using the King's Set from now on and it's lighter.

You are going to want things that boost fire defense like Flame Quartz Ring (I had +2), Dispelling Ring, and the Flash Sweat Pyromancy. If you are unsure of yourself bring along a few Ember Burrs). Equipment will need to be stuff with high fire defense (Smelter Demon set has the highest, so go spend some souls on it). I recommend the Silvercat ring too (makes it easier to get to the chest just by dropping down instead of running all the way on the first chest). If you are human and don't want to waste humanity use a Ring of Life Protection. Around 700-777 Fire Defense you won't receive any damage from the floors (I had 777 when I did this).
Outside the Smelter Demon room (the big area with the furnace) and at the bottom of the room there is a chest on a burning floor. If you run straight out of the room towards the far end you can jump over a gap and again to the right after a few meters and travel up a ladder to fight the one archer. When you look around you will see a Pharros Contraption, activate it and the area around it will become a water pool. Roll through the pool a couple times and head back to the furnace (I suggest looking around before running around too much so you get an idea where the chest is). Equip the SMelter Set and Use Flash Sweat. Drop down to the chest and open it to get the Phoenix Parma.
Chest 2 is in the room with the lever that lowers the floor into the lava, it is on the far left side on the bottom of the area (if you have run over switches before it you will have activated lava falls). On the far end of the room is a ladder that leads up to a bunch of vases filled with water, roll through them (or attack them up close, just get wet) and jump to the platform on the left side of the ledge. You may/may not have to kill archers but regardless head to the area that leads down to the burning floor. Equip Smelter, use Flash Sweat, and give yourself a boost with rings and walk on down (run, actually. I was making a reference there). The chest contains Chaos Firestorm, a better version of Flame Pillars. Before you cast Homeward, use a Bone, or whatever there is an item to the right of the ramp that you went down to get to the chest, still on burning floors. Head over, pick up the item, and get out of there.
This video has the idea but use the equipment and methods I talked about (and his voice is really annoying).
