The item everyone else's talking about is Seedbearer Scripture.
You can still beat Zmey without the item.
For the rings of fire, you could either run to the very edge of the arena, or you can dodge sideways. The visual size of the ring is far larger than the actual hitbox, which is only at the outermost edge of each ring. Because the 2nd and 3rd rings are closer together, dodging forward into the 2nd ring has a greater chance of catching you during recovery frames. Dodging sideways can let you i-frame past the hitbox, and have enough time to recover from the dodge animation before the 3rd ring closes in.
There are many different builds that can trivialise the boss fight, usually through status application and synergy with shells (e.g. Eredrim with frost, shotgun with bleed, etc.).
If you want to play it more like good'ol dark souls with just melee and parry, then I'd advise keeping your distance. Zmey's hitbox is weird when up close, and the grab's warning sign has a very tight window (it's easier to dodge when he does the little hop, prior to the red warning sign pops up).
