He has been by far the hardest boss for me. Much harder than ornstein and smough. Showing 1 - 15 of 17 comments. With a Strength build, I bash him over and over with a large weapon or make him stagger with the swing of a Greatsword. Not sure how to on a dex build as I don't seem to enjoy that play style I suck at parrying and dodging in most cases. My mage uses Strength and the Greatshield of Artorias, so I can typically back away and take minimal damage.
They all talked about overlapping windows of attack and parry and it all went right over my head. Or they went the other way and were too vague: "Wait till the last moment. You'll figure it out. You then have however many frames to hit your parry. And since most enemies' windups are so obvious, it get really easy when all you have to spot is the moment his weapon starts to move towards you.
I don't know if this is technically true in every single case, but it served me well against Havel, against every black and silver knight, and against Gwyn. My first playthrough, even though I had a character with a shield I adamantly persisted parrying to the point where I did it when it made way more sense to just block. If you just do it enough throughout the game there isn't really a need for a guide you just get a feel for it. I think trying to analyze and find some specific criteria for when to press the button is actually detrimental.
By the time I got to Gwyn that fight was pure cheese. People have experimented the crap out of this and different shields have different parry windows. I'm a filthy casual, and I need help cheesing this game as much as possible. How do you upgarde past 5 on a weapon? Side Quest 5 Answers What do you do with coins?

User Info: Bigj Bigj 9 years ago 8 I tried parrying him and honestly it seemed like half the time it came down to random chance. User Info: Kuro-sama Kuro-sama 9 years ago 9 Kuro-sama posted Is Dark Souls actually open world?
He was succeeded by his children: his firstborn, the banished God of War who lost his status as a deity; his daughter Gwynevere, the Queen of Sunlight; and his lastborn Gwyndolin , his "repulsive [and] frail" son who Gwyn raised as a daughter due to his affinity for the moon.
It will come as no surprise to anyone who has spoken to Kingseeker Frampt , Darkstalker Kaathe , or the illusion of Gwynevere , that Lord Gwyn is the final boss of the game, and that it's the Chosen Undead 's goal to either succeed him and end further Undead sacrifices, or start the Age of Dark: the apparent age of humanity.
After fighting past five of his Black Knight , a Hollowed and haggard Gwyn awaits at the site of the First Flame, presenting himself as their final challenge. Succeed Lord Gwyn, and inheriteth the Fire of our world. Thou shall endeth this eternal twilight, and avert further Undead sacrifices.
Clinging to his Age of Fire, and in dire fear of humans, And the Dark Lord who would one day be born amongst them, Lord Gwyn resisted the course of nature. By sacrificing himself to link the Fire, and commanding his children to shepherd the humans, Gwyn has blurred your past, to prevent the birth of the Dark Lord.
Gwyn is crazy fast, extremely aggressive, deals both physical and fire damage, and has incredible melee range. He has an unpredictable pattern, and reacts to what you do quickly, and possibly more so than any other enemy in this game. He can easily dodge your attacks when not in an attack animation. While his Great Lord Greatsword can be obtained, only his hold the power of fire. Gwyn unleashes a barrage of slashes. He has several slashing combinations and moves.
Starting with a very fast diagonal slash, then a horizontal one, and does this 2x. The attack will track, so the best way to avoid getting hit is with a well-timed roll as he winds his weapon to land a hit. He is also able to get a thrust in, during this attack, which can be very dangerous as it can stun you, leaving you susceptible to more damage. If you want to parry, you should block the fast first diagonal slash and parry the second.
Gwyn delays the second swing a little so parry only when he is about to attack. If there is some distance between you two, he can break your guard by performing a single jumping slash attack that comes out in two variations. During the low jump his sword points left during the travel time and raises up just before he attacks.
You can parry it by hitting the parry button during the raising of the sword. The high jump can be parried after Gwyn has reached the top of the jump and is coming down to attack. You need to estimate the timing because Gwyn usually jumps so high that he is off-camera when you should press the parry button.
While another combo which consists of a strong first slash, followed by two more lesser ones, can take up a large portion of your stamina, if blocked. Parrying the first heavy slash is a good strategy. Gwyn slowly moves his sword behind him and then slashes at you. Hit the parry button when the tip of the sword is pointing behind him, straight away from you.
While running towards you, Gwyn thrusts his weapon at you. It happens if there is some distance between you two or right after Gwyn backsteps.
Can thrust also during combos. While the hitbox of a thrust may not be great, Gwyn may decide to switch to a slash midway combo, so always watch his movements and adjust your tactics accordingly. You can hit the parry button as soon as you see the running thrust attack coming. If you were close enough, it will often be a successful parry.
If you find Gwyn making an attempt to grab you, do as you would to any other old man trying the same thing; don't let him. Roll out of the way, or be prepared to be lifted into the air and thrown blown up.
The explosion will send you across the room and deal very high damage. If you've been blocking Gwyn a lot at a close range, he will perform a front stomp kick, which will drain a large portion of stamina if blocked, and knock you down if not.
