Well, Pinwheel is available right from the start of the game. It's possible to rush the catacombs, forge a fire weapon, and get the right of kindling before tackling the other bosses (you'll have to buy titanite shards from andre though). Even doing this though you'll probably have more trouble getting through the catacombs than with the pinwheel fight itself. It's too bad, that fight has good music. But I tend to make the catacombs an early priority now, instead of doing it along with ToTG like I used to, so I can make fire/chaos weapons.
But you need to goto Demon Ruins for the fire ember, right?
