I'm doing a NG+ run in Dark Souls Remastered and the first wall I've run into is Four Kings, weirdly enough. I tried to summon help a couple of times, but these players are all so terrible. They just keep dying during the first king and leave me alone to fight the rest with the increased HP for a two player fight.

At least they mostly do so little damage that you can almost ignore defense and don't dodge themselves. So I think I need to grind a bit to build the most ridiculously strong and unweildy weapon possible.
