FLAMELURKER (Demon's Souls)
Okay, well, I only know how to beat this guy using magic. However, he was a very difficult boss and I thought that I should give a spot of help! First off, you NEED to equip some light armor and not be overburdened. Rolling is crucial!!
Next, your rings. I always use Adjudicator's Shield (it's in 5-1. If you can get past the skeletons it's pretty early on -- check out the wiki) + Regenerator's Ring + Cling Ring. You get some pretty ridiculous HP healing this way, and so if you can avoid Flamelurker, you are doing well. It means that you can stay on the defensive. I also use a Crescent Moon Falchion +5 (you can get a standard CMF at the very beginning of 5-1) and if melee situation arises, I use that.
Make sure that you have a LOT of good grasses (respective to what HP you are at; Crescent Moon Grass doesn't do shit at high level). Also get some Spices to replenish your magic. As for spells, your standard-royal-beginner-spell Soul Arrow will do fine.
Now, for the actual battle. Always keep your shield up, unless you need to recover stamina and are in no immediate danger. Know where your Spices and Grasses are. Stay locked onto Flamelurker -- you do NOT want to lose site of him! He's fast and powerful. Just roll to dodge his attacks, avoid him any way possible, and fire off a couple of Soul Arrows.
When he goes into BERSERK MODE, just try to beat him as quickly as possible. This doesn't mean that you should leave yourself wide open to attack, because he WILL one-shot you. Play carefully, but look hard for opportunities to fire off a Soul Arrow or two. It shouldn't take much to KO him once he's in this stage.
Good luck!
