Artorias guide:
This boss is very fast and difficult, but i'll give you a 1 tips to dodge 3 of his harder attacks. Explanations of the attack taken from Fextralife, and images taken from










1; Stabbing Charge --->
Artorias will run at you very quickly trying to pierce you. If the first part lands the attack will hit you twice. a simple fix is to run around his side, and he will dash past you. doing this is one of the 2-3 attacks that can let you can heal afterwards (to my knowledge)
2; Savage Leaping Strike <---
Artorias howls, then leaps to the player to use him as a sheath for his sword, dealing massive damage. When he howls, run towards him, and the jump is almost guaranteed to miss, as the jump doesn't track you. When he lands, try to heal off any damage you've taken.
3; Somersault Smashing Combo --->
at medium range, Artorias might do a fast somersault towards the player to heavily smash his sword downward. This smash can be repeated another 2 times, each swing individually tracking the players new position. Dodging/blocking the first attack is vital as each strike will stagger the player/crush the player to the ground. The best way to dodge this is after the first somersault, run around to his back, and try to get one hit in, then continue circling if he continues to somersault the other 2 times.

Also, How to avoid him buffing

1: How to tell if he's buffing
Artorias sometimes will backflip away from you to gain distance, this is a normal move. But if he backflips more than one time, charge him down, he's going to try to buff.
2: How to cancel the buff
Once you reach Artorias, make sure that you are constantly hitting him. because he will do an AOE explosion if you do not stagger him out of the buff. I managed to stagger him out of the buff by hitting him 3-4 times with a +5 Chaos Blade, but the poise damage of your weapon might vary.
3: What to do if i don't do enough poise damage to knock him out of the buff?
You might not have enough stamina to attack as quickly. Try leveling stamina, or using/equipping an item that boosts stamina regen (Such as the Grass Crest Shield, The Child Mask, The Cloranthy Ring, or Green Blossoms). It is also VITAL that you are light rolling, as it increases stamina regen, and medium rolling is so slow, artorias will already have you in a new combo when you're out of the roll animation. Try not to constantly hold up your shield as well, as you get 80% less stamina regen.
If that doesn't work, try a different weapon. Dark souls 1 has a plethora of weapons at your disposal, and some might fit your build. Experiment with different gear (Light weapons such as katanas, daggers, and other dex centered weapons like that are recommended throughout the entire fight, as artorias is the fastest boss in the game (don't fact check that) and slow weapons are extremely punishing when fighting against him)!

If that doesn't work, there isn't much else to help you, so you might have to let him buff. While he's buffing, its a good time to heal yourself and reapply any buffs. buffing (I think) doubles his damage, so it is very hard to kill him while he's buffed.

Good luck out there (This guide was written by a man who has played dark souls once, on a katana dex build, so do not take any of this seriously, i have no idea what i'm saying trust me with all of your heart on this one).

As ToadMode said, 4kings is a DPS race. Get in close, hack away. They do less damage close.
Sif is female. The only attack of Gwen's that can't be parried is the grab. Everything else is parryable.

Otherwise, this is pretty good

for the four kings. use full havel's armor and full dps check the boss. strat is even possible at SL 1 with a handaxe
