Any tips for the Abyss Watchers?
They're driving me crazy :(

Kite them and wait for the red eye to draw their attention and hit the main one.

Or backstab them over and over.

Try rolling.

1. Consecutive strike stuns the watcher, rather low poise.

2. As soon as the first "Helper" spawn, have him fight the boss instead of his minions while you kill the minion.

2-2. The watcher has a tendency to stay back while the two "helpers" are fighting each other, go for him.

3. The dragon crest shield is optimal for this fight.

Second Phase:

1. Consecutive strikes still works, keep at it.

2. Roll sideway instead of back, constantly walk backward and sideway clockwise/counterclockwise can avoid most attack.

3. Only attack when there's big opening. i.e The big vertical Somersaut. No more than 2 strikes.

Rolling backwards will get you killed during this boss fight. It's better to roll sideways, and even better to roll towards him, through his attacks (your rolls have invulnerability frames).

buy the zweihander from greirat, the heavy attack will stagger the abyss watchers leaving them open for further attacks

The boss himself was actually quite easy. In the first stage, all you need to do it attack the boss until another clone appears, then position yourself where the clone accidently hits the boss. Afterwards, just keep dodging until all the other clones fight the boss.

The boss in stage 2 is identical to stage 1, except that he may do more damage with his attacks due to his upgraded sword.

Dodge, dodge, dodge, dodge, dodge dodge dodge, dodge, dodge, hit, repeat until dead. Same as the rest of the game.

Dodge and hit openings. He's a super straight forward boss.
Follow the little fires around the swamp they always lead to towers. And also shows you where there is dry ground.

I tired rolling sideways (on 2nd phase) and it doesn't help :(

You're rolling at the wrong times then.
I hope you aren't fat rolling either.
