Let's answer one of the age old useless questions of the Dark Souls series... just how many kings can you make spawn in the 4 kings boss fight? ᴵ'ᶫᶫ ᵍᶦᵛᵉ ʸᵒᵘ ᵃ ʰᶦᶰᵗ⋅ ᴵᵗ'ˢ ᶰᵒᵗ ᶠᵒᵘʳ⋅

Oh! And thank you for the suggestion on twitter Gupple!

----TL:DW & BONUS NOTES----
-At first it seems like a simple mathematical problem. 4 kings is the max allowed on screen, 1 will spawn every 40 seconds & each have a perfect 1/4 of the total HP.
- This means we can only kill 3 allowing for 7 total. Well that's not nearly enough!
- After a bit of testing, it seems each king has SLIGHTLY less than 1/4 HP each (I'm surprised ALL the wiki's are wrong about this). This means we can let 4 spawn, kill 4 to allow 4 more to spawn for a total of 8!
- BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! Some weapons deal bonus damage to the kings but NOT the shared total. These are the weapons with "Stumble" animations. Counter damage and sweetspot damage also follow this trend.
- Abusing leo ring counters, stumble weapons and sweetspots the best weapon we can use is the Black Knights Halberd! For every 11 damage we do to a solo king, the boss will lose only 5 HP!
- With this trick we can kill 8 kings for a total of 12 encountered!
- The boss also knows "lifedrain", however sadly in Dark Souls 1 it NEVER heals health, but steals 1 humanity. Shame really.
- You might be thinking of casting WARMTH? Well to bad, it doesn't exist in DS1. There is no projectile heal we can abuse either.
- So 12 is the cap unless someone else finds a better weapon!
