Is 4 Kings optional?

Yes, the Four Kings in Dark Souls are generally considered mandatory for the main story progression, as you need their Lord Soul to open the path to Gwyn, but you can fight them early (even before getting the Lordvessel) to join the Darkwraith Covenant or just for early progression, though it's a tough fight. The main reason they aren't truly optional is to collect the Lord Soul fragment needed to advance the game's core objective.
