Well one friend actually. After seemingly countless attempts at downing Artorias solo, I gave in, went human and summoned someone. He/she was brilliant and set about giving him a good pasting whilst I spammed Lightning Spear for all I was worth and dashed in to deliver the odd blow with my Gravelord Sword and healing my friend.
I always try to beat bosses solo if I can and in a way I feel a little ashamed that I had to summon in the end but Artorias was just too fast for my somewhat palsied reaction time and I was getting a bit desperate because I wanted to find out what came next so badly. From the little I've explored so far (I've not spent much time in Oolacile) it reminds me quite a lot of the Painted World and I can't wait to explore it more.
