I'm officially in a stump. How the heck do you cut off Seath's tail? I've tried, literally, everything. Cutting it on the tip, on the middle, on every frigging part and it doesn't come out. Of course, Seath starts doing the flailing of death and there I go >_>.

Seath is a bastard to get his tail.  You need to cut off the tip, and you can only do it on his middle backmost tail which was annoying to get to.  

I know that, the problem is that I can spend half an hour targetting the frigging tail and it still doesn't come out. What the hell is with that? 

If you went to Lost Izalith, after speaking to depressed Solaire after the Centipede fight, throught the normal route (the lava filled with the lower parts of the Zombie Dragons) then it's too late to save him. To save him, you'll need to enter the Chaos Servant covenant, level it to +2 (by offering 30 humanity) and then a secret door will open, which is located to the right of the entrace before the Demon Firesage.

Well if you're hitting the correct tail then maybe he just bugged out.  I had one fight where Seath did not register any damage no matter what I did.  Was quite irritated since I had used a humanity to get some help for that fight in particular.
