When Online, Prepare for PVP
When challenging this boss while online, you will need to prepare to face another player. However, each person's playstyle and build will be different, so it will be difficult to prepare a strategy against your opponent.
Do not Turn your Back to your Opponent
Be careful to not turn your back to your opponent. If you get backstabbed, you will receive a massive amount of damage.
Get Ready to Parry after your Opponent Rolls!
Many players try to attack after performing a roll. Therefore, time your opponent's attack after they roll and parry them. However, a person who is used to PVP combat may know to avoid this pattern. Be careful not to become predictable.
Don't Give Your Opponent An Opening
Just because your opponent isn't attacking you, doesn't mean you have to keep going on the offensive. This gives your opponent an opening against you by parrying your attacks. It is recommended to use light weapons that can swing fast to avoid getting parried.
Attack without Locking-on if Possible
Fighting without locking-on will make it easier to maneuver around to your opponent's back as well as roll in any direction freely. However, it can be difficult to try and switch to locked-on play during battle, so only perform this after getting used to the playstyle.
Summon a Blue Phantom and Overwhelm Him
When you cannot seem to win no matter what strategy you try, you can also try summoning a blue phantom to help take him down. Doing this will make the boss much easier to defeat, so it may lower the satisfaction of defeating him yourself.
When Offline, Throw Many Weapons
When taking on the Old Monk while offline, throw many weapons at him. Throwing daggers will continuously stun-lock him, allowing you to perform regular attacks.
