they give you these things called estus bone dust or something that makes your heal stronger i personally beat the game with out using them, I upgraded my flask to use it more, but I didn't make it's healing stronger now I did die a lot because i went to more difficult places then I should have been but I'd take a 35 hour play through over one in which I'm constantly summoning co-op or just over powering bosses the ashen bone dust were added in ds2 and I think it makes the game way too easy, I got up to ng++ before it got hard again

I have no doubt I'll be able to beat him NP with full health and 3 flasks. I think my first boss ever in the series was more like what you listed in the OP. Ridiculous amount of time and deaths before I beat him.
I ended up remaking my character a few days ago once I got the hang of it because I messed up how I was leveling up my guy and I don't know if you can change that later or not so I wanted to before I got too deep into the game, when I replayed I ended up taking barely any damage from him and basically didn't even need a flask at all but still used one, only took me a day or 2 to get back to where I was at too. It definitely seemed way harder at first but it's relatively easy once you're familiar with the game, I might even end up playing the first two at some point whenever I end up finishing this one
No matter how muchI try I can't get used to a shield though, my parry and gaurding is absolutely terrible, I just roll around everywhere and try to maintain stamina 
@Konyap - I believe it's an undead bone shard for better healing with flasks off the top of my head but am unsure, always saw that option when I went to the bonfire and the one time I did do it I didn't even know what it did until I read something about them

I probably wouldn't lose any health if I really concentrated and didn't push my luck but I tend to get impatient (IMO being impatient is the biggest killer in this game) and take risks I don't really have to.
I might go and change my character. I haven't leveled it up at all yet but I'm not really liking the feel of it. I went with Assassin. Has a "froggy" feel to it I just don't like .

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream.

You aint kidding about impatience being the biggest killer, that definitely seems to be a bad habit of mine, whether it's a boss or just a harder then usual guy roaming around, I get them low enough and get too excited and run in trying to finish them off quickly just to get blasted and killed when I basically had it won if I didn't try to rush it 
I went with cleric for the very first character I made just because I noticed he could heal and thought that would come in handy, hated it instantly and switched to a mercenary, and couldn't beat the first boss with mercenary so I switched to warrior and beat him on the first try and that's the one I ended up remaking but so far is the best one I've tried, definitely seems like a more noob-friendly class though

So yeah I redid my character and started over to see if I liked Warrior any better. Completely different feel. Assassin was just too squirrely for my tastes. Felt more like you were dancing around and tapping enemies than actually fighting them. I died once on Warrior with the ice lizard thing because I wasn't accounting for how long the swing of the axe takes but got used to it pretty quickly. Ran through the cemetery, killed the ice thing and headed straight for the boss dude and beat him without dying once. This game is definitely easier than the previous ones.

I wish the developers would stop pumping out dark souls releases and go back to revamping another release of chromehounds. That game was the tits.

I just beat Wolnir or whatever it's name is. That was just ridiculous, easiest boss fight in any game ever. Some of the earliest common enemies are harder than him. It's so laughable I just had to post about it.

Just beat deacons of the deep. I thought that was the easiest boss in the game. Just constantly rush him. I burned him in a matter of like 4 minutes.
I'm rolling a knight which I'm building vigor, endurance, str. Pretty simple I feel. Anyone got any recommendations for my next roll through the game? A little more challenging pve wise, and can do PvP later

Well, it's been announced by Hidetaka Miyazaki that this is the last Dark Souls game so you don't have to worry about that.

I just got through that one. I was running around killing everything for like 10 mins because I couldn't figure out what to do. I like the "discovery" aspect of the game and tend to not read about shit ahead of time, that one just wasn't clicking though. Dealing with the horde of enemies isn't hard at all so I wasn't really dying or running out of Estus but I wasn't making any progress either. Roamed around the room looking for anything out of the ordinary thinking maybe there was a source of power that kept them coming or a certain environmental way they had to be killed to stay dead. Eventually I just started running around the outer edge of the circle with one hand while I googled it on my phone in the other . Not even really paying attention to the screen.
Not the easiest in the game IMO but definitely way down there somewhere.
Warrior is starting to feel kind of over powered. I still die but it's almost always just because of my lack of patience and trying to get through enemies as fast as possible. Most things are dead in one or two swings and most enemies just get staggered and never really get a chance to swing. As long as I time it right I can just run straight for them, double tap my right handed weapon and keep moving.
I think I'm gonna try some kind of magic based class next go.

Hardest boss I've done so far was Dancer of boreal or borealis? Something close to that, it had a long reach and would literally not stop attacking, couldnt even get a second to stop rolling without getting hit. Couldnt even get a chance to attack back.
Only reason i beat it was because after 30 tries with that shit it decided to become autistic as fuck and only attack me once during the whole fight and just move back and forth or spin while i stood behind it nonstop attacking it

yeah that was my road block i had to summon to people and try to aggro it with a two handed great shield while others attacked
i then beat him by myself in another file, she has a grab and then she has a spin attack that you CAN NOT BLOCK even with the most stamina, she does 6 hits and on the last two she is swinging two swords so it's double damage
the dlc is in the fall and then in the winter of next year
I liked the blood borne DLC but I hope it's just as big in both installments if not bigger

Just gotta git gud.
I love the souls/born series, probably my favorite games. The satisfaction of beating a hard boss is unrivaled IMO.
This video always cracks me up
Also this is a pretty accurate portrayal of playing through Ds2, long but worth it

Finally got to this part. Wasn't that hard to me. Only took 3 tries. You just gotta be really patient with him. Stay relatively close until he starts the long spin attack and then keep rolling just out of it's range until he stops and then get in your hits. Or if he's gonna do the dual stab crawl thing and you catch it in time and time it right, move so that he just barely misses you with the second one and then hit him some more.
