Phase two is partially a fanservice oriented callback, as he performs the same moves as Gwyn, the iconic final boss of the original Dark Souls. Alternatively, you can just run away or stay at a lengthy range until his ball magic is depleted, and he changes forms. Instead, try to kite (lead) him around at mid-range, forcing him to expel his magic in the process.
Note that these balls respawn after they've been expended and do a ton of damage, so taking him on at close range is ill-advised. The biggest challenge is easily his magic form, which summons magic homing balls above him. Be wary of faster strikes and a slightly different combo routine, though. When he sports his pyromancer form, you're also in a good spot as those attacks generally don't do a ton of damage. He also has a variation of the Force, which won't cause any damage but will knock you back, down and deplete your stamina. He also has a miracle form, denoted by white or otherwise holy-looking auras, which you should rush down as quickly as possible to prevent him from healing.
Simple forward rolls into his body will counter most of his swings here. He'll use very basic combos, but it's important to learn his nuances so you don't get caught up in them and attack before he's finished. Initially, he will use his sword form, which you can counter with a fire-resistant shield. In other words, it's possible to get some of the easier forms consistently, allowing you to quickly dispatch the boss. With multiple variants that the boss can call upon, this initial phase is heavily tied to RNG (a random number generator). In phase one be aggressive, in phase two use caution. Always remember that you can leave this area at any time and come back later, just several steps away from the boss. Proceed behind you, up the stairs, and touch the other bonfire, which leads to … another bonfire! Right at the top of the mountain is a boss fight, so be prepared to face Dark Souls 3's final challenge.
