You can cast pestilent mercury around a large pillar in the boss arena and run around it, letting the old demon king chase you, evading his attacks and damaging him at the same time.I honestly really enjoyed this boss fight. The Old Demon King is a relatively straightforward opponent with a slow and well-telegraphed moveset. Attacking only a couple of times and then retreating to medium range to wait for openings is easier.One of the easiest bosses for Sorcerers.
Either way, it was on NG. The casul feelingStat wise, cuculus is using a bad combination for the boss, but in practice, cuculus is a good phantom for the fight.

Once the boss is poisoned, stay as far away as you can so he can't hit you with his spells. Circle around the pile in the middle of the arena to take cover from his AoE attacks and keep moving.Dodge his attacks until you get into range and cast Toxic Mist.
Its attacks are distinct and varied enough to not cause any confusion, and you can easily fall back and heal everytime you're low (unlike that mf Sullivan), plus those two dodgy fiery attacks are just fun and cool.

Most of all try to run around the enemy constantly and hit his tail - attacks performed with this body parts are least frequent. As long as the player can survive the AOE blast, finishing off the boss should not be a challenge.

Combined with the Cloranthy Ring, the Grass Crest Shield, and lots of careful rolling, this boss becomes almost trivial.This fight will either be near impossible or very easy depending on how far you've advanced your pyromancies.

Staying too long near him and especially in front of him triggers the fast AoE mouth blast. Does anybody have some idea.After killing him first time I was sad, not to say somehow 'guilty'.
