How to kill hellkite drake?

[Sir Harlz]

I am trying to kill this thing.... This is one of the worst mini bosses I have seen in soul history. Its only a threat because they gave it a undodgable attack when it flys in the air and covers the entire bridge in flame.

Anyway to kill it WITHOUT cheesing it?

Gold hemmet set+Flash sweat+ring that increases fire defence (almost no damage on his fire attacks)
Use gold pine resin on your most powerful weapon and start from undead burg bonfire, go up ladder, go into small alcove on left, the dragon will spit fire once, this is normal, then after some time he groans and will descend on bridge.
In that time you can pretty much kill him, usually target tail first, cause when you cut it, drake will be stunned a bit more.

Try that on NG+.

i did

[zero hope >:(]

This isn't a melee enemy methinks. You can work out the ways to melee him, but you are not supposed to.

The first time i played I lured him to the other side of the bridge and used the manually aimed heavy crossbow to turn him into a hedgehog drake. The tricky part was to escape his breath by retreating down to the Solaire's place and to get back in time while he is still in the range to shoot.

wow none of these comments are very helpful. Here's how you do it. Get a light armor and a light weapon. shoot him with a bow, when he lands swing on his face, roll back downstairs. if you miss your swing, roll downstairs. He''ll die after 15-18 hits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9OQV3uTMUw

Lure him down as the video above shows, but don't take his tail and run past him as shown. Get the drake sword via a bow if you want it. When luring him stay in that spot for a few seconds before applying a weapon buff, I'd say a roughly 10 seconds is how long it takes from him breathing fire to finally jump down. Gold pine resin, Darkmoon Blade and Sunlight Blade have all worked great for me. After baiting him down, run directly to his left foot and attack, locked or unlocked targeting is up to preference but unlocked makes dodging his fire a little easier. After a few hits he'll fly straight up and breathe fire straight down, if you noticed earlier as you approached his left leg there's a spot on the right side of the bridge next to one of the stone posts with no oil, this spot is safe from his fire attack. Drop your shield during the fire to regain some stamina and turn so your character is facing directly to the other side of the bridge and put up your shield before he drops as he may hit you on the descent. If you've got the damage or luck he won't leave this pattern. If he does, he'll fly down the bridge towards Solaire's spot, take the opportunity to either roll down the stairs and lame it out the easy way or get huge balls and get good at Fred Dursting it to take him out after he's landed.

Rotten pine resin on the first go with an escape, followed by another run with a different weapon buff would make for a nice smooth cheese. Halberds, spears, and any other longer weapons are also helpful imo. Idk if he can bleed, but if so the washing pole would be an excellent choice.

He can't bleed or be poisoned.
