This is actually two bosses rather than one, which makes the fight a bit more interesting to deal with.

Step 1)Defeat Lorian first.
When you first start this boss fight, it is going to be just you and the older brother. This phase isn't too hard, just watch out for him teleporting. As soon as he teleports you are going to want to dodge, because he's going to come out near you and swinging. Get behind him, give him a few love taps, and fall back for your stamina to come back. Rinse and repeat and you should bring him down pretty quick without much difficulty.

Step 2)Face off against Lorian and his brother Lothric together.
This is where things get more interesting. Lorian is going to do much the same things as he did in the previous stage, but now he's got his brother with him casting spells at you from his back. The main spell to watch for is the homing missiles, keep in mind you can use the pillars scattered around the room to block the missiles if you duck behind them.

Step 3)Get behind him and hit them both.
A slashing weapon is important here, as it can hit both of the brothers with each swing if you get behind Lorian. This is important since if you are dealing damage only to Lorian and not Lothric, it's going to turn into a very long fight. Chances are, even focusing on Lothric, you will bring down Lorian first though. When he goes down, his brother will begin casting a healing spell on him. Get in there and get a full combo on Lothric while he is casting, but get out before he finished, as it will explode outwards and will hurt you.

Step 4)Finish them both off.
When Lorian gets back up, he will be fully healed but his brother will not be. At this point, keep focusing on Lothric and you should be able to kill him before Lorian this time, which will end them both.

Not a bad fight for someone who can't even stand up, hopefully with these tips you'll make sure he won't even kneel ever again. Bring his cinder back to the shrine and celebrate.
