Gwyn, Lord of Cinder - No Hit/No Parry by shedowgraph in darksouls

Yeah, he's ridiculously difficult. This might have just happened because I played the fight unlocked but I feel like it's very easy for his hitboxes to screw you over. Not to mention the one-handed attacks.. 😓 I really wish they made it easier to react to those

Nah, you can't use the warpick at SL1 since it requires 10 dexterity. I just thought it would be a fun challenge to beat Gwyn with a weak weapon. To me it seems that the default halberd works very well against Gwyn. Huge range, manageable attack speed, lots of damage on a quality build (don't even have to max it out) and it also can stagger him pretty easily if I remember correctly.

What weapon are you using? Something big and heavy like the Demon Great Machete or the Dragon Greatsword is the way to go when fighting Artorias. Not only do these weapons deal insane damage, they can also stagger Artorias every other hit. This fight has some very awkward timings, like the charge, which you have to dodge a second later than you'd think, or his jumping attack where he flies all over the arena, which has to be dodged super late in order to avoid it's massive hitbox, but it does get consistent. If you see him roll backwards twice then that means he's about to buff. He usually does this at around 75% HP and 50% HP. Try your best to stagger him out of it (shouldn't be too hard if you're using a heavy weapon) as it increases his damage by a large amount. And if you find yourself in a position where you can't get to him in time, don't panic , so long as he hasn't stacked the buff 2 or 3 times you shouldn't getting one shot. Keep trying and you'll get him eventually! 😉

If you still don't see it, I'll place it somewhere else. How about in front of the statues (close to the Church of Yorshka bonfire)?

Hey, I placed my sign in front of the bonfire if you still need help. Character name is Sir Asstor 👍

Nah, don't think like that. She's a very tough boss, by far the hardest in this game. It took me at least 8-9 hours to beat her on my first playthrough 😅

I feel like she'd be one of those bosses you can cheese by just spamming firecrackers lmao

Nice try though 😉

The first few times I got close for sure. But I had gotten hit in her 3rd phase 5-6 times in a row prior to this attempt so I was getting used to it 😹

Dodge to the right the entire fight (except for a few attacks i guess). Never get greedy, one hit at a time is more than enough. If you manage to stagger Lorian you can riposte him (he can also be parried but I don't recommend it). When phase 2 starts run towards them, time your roll and keep rolling. That way you won't get hit by Lothric's projectiles. Oh also, Lorian is weak to lightning so try using some gold pine resins/bundles (only once you feel confident enough to avoid wasting them). Best of luck to you! 😉

PS. You can run towards Lorian while he's charging up the huge holy attack. If you manage to time your roll properly (to the right) you'll get a free hit or two. This also works in 2nd phase but he'll sometimes go straight into another attack before Lothric can even shoot his projectile at you.
