Can you interrupt Artorias?

Stop Artorias from powering up. The best way I found to reliably stop this is by shooting him in the head with an arrow. You can also run up and hit him, but it takes several hits to stop the power up (depending on your weapon) and you risk being hit by the AoE explosion if you fail to stagger him.
