It is possible to kill Kalameet without Gough's help. It is not necessary to be struck by the attack in order to receive Gough's help, only that Kalameet performs it. After this attack, speaking to Hawkeye Gough will convince him to shoot down Kalameet, so players can properly engage in battle on the ground. Shortly after moving into the clearing, Kalameet will fly through the canyon and breathe black fire at the Chosen Undead.
Beyond some Abyss Attack Dogs lies a ladder running parallel to a waterfall. Kalameet can be confronted opposite the Colosseum where Knight Artorias is fought. The player first encounters Kalameet on the second stone bridge in Royal Wood. Kalameet is a mandatory boss, you will need the Jewel of Kalameet to open the gate to Manus, Father of the Abyss.
