If you rush him, you can kill him while he’s still transforming and stop it from completing. If you get near him, he’ll mutate into the same crazy beast that took over Gundyr, and that means he’ll be hitting just as hard and be just as difficult to read. Look for one in the back right corner near the archer. The archer lurking around the corner isn’t the biggest problem here: one of the Hollow worshipers is not what they seem. If you go up the far staircase, be extremely careful. Don’t worry about the locked door, you’ll be coming back through here to form a shortcut, and will probably be glad to not have to deal with this area at that point. The stairs downward lead to a locked door, and the Hollow holding an Estus Flask (look for the orange glow to tell which ones can heal themselves.) You’ll also spot a corpse near him holding a Soul of a Deserted Corpse. Watch that he doesn’t try to retreat down the stairs toward his friend carrying an estus flask or towards the halberd-carrier, as it’s better to focus on one problem at a time. He strikes slow but packs a punch that you’ll need to dodge and counter. Try luring the hounds up the stairs first before you attract the attention of the axe-wielder. Most of the Hollows praying to their transformed brethren won’t directly bother you - but always be on the lookout for those that pop up to attack. Looking down from his vantage point, take stock of the area: two Bone Hounds patrol the length of the wall, with a large axe-wielding Hollow going up and down the nearby stairs, and a halberd carrying Hollow coming up and down the far spiraling stairs. A Hollow Archer is stationed up on a platform here looking down over the area, and had you come from another angle, he’d be taking potshots at you - so give him a nasty surprise. Look to the right of the bonfire, and right of the circling stairs to see a broken chunk of the rampart that looks straight over the next section of the wall. There are two ways to proceed, one of which leads to a dead-end, but is useful to clear out first if only for one important reason. It is through these series of small towers and ramparts that you’ll be traversing for now, as you head down a flight of stairs to the Bonfire for this area.

You’ll enter via the Firelink Shrine into a small enclosed room, exit the room through the main door and gaze out across the vast stretch of ramparts that surround the city itself.
