I kinda stopped playing for a while. I have to beat the 4 kings, but I don't see how. Only tried a few times though. Doesn't help that the closest bonfire is Firelink Shrine.
There's a question for you. Is there another one that's closer/faster to arrive from?

Well you're right in that Firelink Shrine is the closest bonfire. However there is a shortcut to the right of where you encounter the first two ghosts that makes it easy to reach 4 kings. I just basically run passed everyone straight to the fog door.

Ah, you can jump down there somewhere?

Also on the four kings. I killed one with fire easily enough. But then the other two then the third arived. I don't see how I can concentrate on one while not being hit by another or the third. And all their attacks are hard hitting. I was thinking that I can finish off the first one with chaos whip quickly, then run to the second one and maybe finish that one off quickly too... Assuming that they all have the same weaknesses and attacks/attack patterns.
