Roll

Keep close to him and roll

pres the buttons harder

get guf

Whats your class?

Pick Rogue, spam arrows

>inb4 get gud
how did he know???

I hit him. Don't get hit. He dies.

>start with ds3
Stupid decision, game is going to rape you over a barrel

>the easiest game right after DeS is going to rape him over a barrel
lol git gud

I chose Knight as i heard it's the most beginner friendly

Would you believe me that this fight is not even his final form?

And you fight him again and it's one of the hardest bosses in the game? That he has caused the most speed runs to fail?

Honestly he takes so fucking long to get to the second phase you can drop his heath to 10% at no effort. Save your stamina and prepare for his transformation. Wail on him as he transforms. Makes the fight a joke.

Second time you fight him... Pray

R1 with longsword

Holy shit thats the easiest one to win with. Come on dude. On his second phase you literally just circle strafe behind him with your shield up and hit his back until he dies. Just stick close to him.

Hold your shield up and circle him left or right

hit him when he is not hitting, you

I have to move and hold my shield up at the same time? Are you niggers serious? You can only do one thing at a time, how the fuck do you expect me to move and shield?

i don't think you belong past gundyr. You're going to get spanked by some twink invader and be that faggot who has three summons and cops for his area at all times.

>using your shield at all
Just git gud and dodge through everything. Don't you know it gives you invincibility frames?

Just stop playing then faggot. Its not for you.

just stay close in second phase and strafe behind him

The "dodge is useless, all it does is make my character hop backward a short distance, I've never been able to use that useless thing for anything.

How do I summon? This fight is bullshit.

Bait

>cant beat tutorial boss
give your little sister the controller, dude. she can beat gundyr

If this is bait then well done.

Stop fucking standing still for all your actions, the only time you shouldn't be moving is for a quick attack. You can move while you shield and roll in the direction you're moving when you dodge. If you run out of stamina just back up until you have a full bar.

Yall this aint OP

Spam firebombs.

Admittedly, Gundyr is probably the hardest boss in the first 1/4 of the game on a first run.

How can I move and shield at the same time? You're fucking lying, you have to take your thumb off the stick to press LB.

Where do I get the firebombs?

>spam firebombs before he even gets to the merchant
yeah dude those 3 firebombs that dont respawn are gonna save your ass

Champ Gundyr is probably my favorite fight in the game.

Like there’s no cheese method of beating him and he has no bullshit unavoidable OHKO move, it’s just two dudes fucking trading blows with each other until one finally dies.

In the area before the boss. You only get 5 so don't fuck up.

dodge his attacks and hit him back. Literally the only thing someone can tell you.

Here is a tip. Every boss has exploitable attacks. By exploitable I mean, attacks easy to track and dodge and attacks that put the bosses in disadvantage so you can damage them.

Not all attacks are as easy to punish, but every boss has them. Lunge attack, slow 180º swipes, rush moves, whatever, there are always certain moves you can bait them to do it and then cheese it for guarantee safe attacks.


Study the boss. Take your time to see what moves he has. Long range moves, mid range and short range. See what attacks make him more vulnerable.

Enemies have a limited move set and they are triggered depending on many factors. The distance between you and them being a major one.

>theres no cheese method of beating him
thats were youre wrong kiddo
parrying destroys him

You can cheese gundyr with parries.

Will do. Was unaware of these so thanks user

I legit died to Iudex last week. I have like 700 hours logged.
I made up for it but I still feel the shame

You literally need one to stagger the Pus of Man stage enough to kill it.

Hell, don’t you get a novice level pyromancy at the start of the game?

Bought the game today and still waiting for my payment to go through to steam

life is suffering

stop living in the third world

I get you, i died like 10 times to gundyr until i realized i was playing fucking deprived on my first souls game
I changed to knight and got him first try
I hope you are accidentaly playing deprived as well user

>You literally need one to stagger the Pus of Man stage enough to kill it.
are you stupid? you cant stagger the pus of man stage with firebombs, and even if you could you definitely dont need one to kill him
>Hell, don’t you get a novice level pyromancy at the start of the game?
only if you start as a pyromancer you retard

To be fair iudex is legit the hardest first boss in all souls games. He gets ludicrous range on his second phase and depending on your class he can kill you in 2 hits.

Fire doesn't stagger Gundyr like it does regular Bullshit of Man enemies

what the fuck kind of grip are you using
do you only have 2 fingers?

Maybe one day..

>be me doing jolly invasions in the zone after they abyss twinks
>everyone is in a group of 3 plus blue sentinels
What the fuck happened?

invasions aren't supposed to be fair

I admittedly haven’t played the game in like a year, but I know for a fact fire at least rapes his healthbar.

not to mention a host can have 2 blue sentinels now

Rolling gives invulnerability frames in all souls games
I dont even know how people find challenge in this series anymore
All you have to do is time the roll and be careful to not get gangbanged.

Probably the best boss fight I've experienced in a long long time.

everything rapes his healthbar
he does not have very much health, people only die to him because he is fast

>when you get into the flow and duck and weave his attacks while landing some hits of your own
he's my absolute favorite boss in the game, despite being a visually boring one

>be chillan and co-oping with a bro
>some virgin neckbearded loser invades instead of playing pvp like a normal person
>instead of immediately fucking off he tries to kill us thinking hes some hot anime shit
>gets dumpstered and makes sure to run around the level as much as possible like a pathetic headless chicken, failing at the game just like he failed at life.

My wife who had never played a dark souls title beat him first try with thief by strafing to the right and poking. Didn't roll one time. Didn't block anything. I thought it was beginners luck, but I went back and tried to replicate it and imagine my surprise when every time I could just fucking strafe right with thief and poke. You fucks are vastly overcomplicating this boss.

I feel like everyone has harder times with different bosses

Champ gundyr is one of the easiest for me because as far as im concerned hes just parry bait: the boss

I have the most trouble with dancer, actually, i cannot beat her without cheesing with Havel's Greatshield, whereas some anons claim she is a faceroll

if you can't beat this boss, you're not gonna make it

just restart the game and pick the firebombs as your gift

He's a big guy

you can exploit the pillars in her room

A buckler and the hornet's ring are straight kryptonite to champ gundyr actually

for you haha!

You cant riposte champ. Hornet ring does nothing against him. He can be parried though so buckler works.

Took me over 30 minutes to beat him down.

t. went with depraved after a 4 year long DS hiatus

Not him but I would always play deprived, though recently i stopped since you cant autist minmax with deprived in DS3 like you can in DS2

you can riposte him though

>Hornet Ring is past Al Gundy
what now faggot
it's largely unnecessary for bosses, anyway
lol dude what

>you can't riposte champ
youtube.com/watch?v=IFdlYjLLvZk

the FUCK are you smoking?

>a buckler
>not parrying him with your bare fists
lmao

youtu.be/ak0G53UZMEA?t=1m1s

>cant riposte the champ

You fucking can though

Dont even try and debate me on this heres a video of it being done

m.youtube.com/watch?v=ak0G53UZMEA

easy

A 2 handed Club wrecks Gundyr. You can stagger him at least twice with just R1's and rack up that sweet instability damage before his second phase, which is nearly dead by the time he starts ree'ing the house down

>can't riposte champ
user, I...

>i was only pretending to be retarded!
like clockwork

haha you got me boy is my face red

>i-i WAS JUST PRETENDIN TO BE RETARDED!

Yeah i forgot hornet is after gundy, ive played a few NG+ runs so ive fought him more times with rings i shouldnt have by then, than normal vanilla

Works every time lmao. Souls fags are the pinnacle of autism.

this is the easiest boss in the game

>p-please stop calling out how dumb i am...

>I was only pretending to be retarded
(You)

...

>calls others pathetic despite being in the Way of Blue

no he isn't, ancient dragon is

>ha autists, works every time

Yes im sure every time you "pretend", people actually think you're retarded, haha.. yeah, jokes on us

Figures, but it still took me a bit of time and few tries to actually get a hold of the controls again.
And fuck the katana guy.

>that samefag that keeps responding to me after i trolled his ass epic style

get good

THE CHAMP is a prime example of "big guy in armour" actually done right. His moveset is varied and he can cover pretty much any angle of approach. He doesn't just have the standard one-two-three, gap-closer, big overhead that the vast majority of "big guy in armour" bosses had in the previous games.
That's what makes the champ great.

For a second there I thought you picked something like rogue or asassin but you picked the only unkillable class for this boss

Please leave newfag

Unironically return the game, you are not gonna like it

Okay good bait, Dark souls thread I guesd

Took me legit 25 tries to do gundyr.

I did dancer on first try, I even stood around still so I could see new attacks and animations, I found her so easy to avoid, she is super slow, has low range a huge attack window

>Played through DS3 for the first time dreading the (2nd) fight with Gundyr and the fight with Sulyvahn because I was told they were hard as balls.
>One shot both of them (albeit with a sliver of health), even when Sulyvahn's particle effects were slowing down my toaster to 10fps.

Meanwhile those fucking giant dogs still shit all over me no matter how many times I fight them.

>Meanwhile those fucking giant dogs still shit all over me no matter how many times I fight them.
Working as intended

Nah you can thrash Gundyr and stun him. Then after that he dies in one hot. You just have to be totally whipping his ass. It's easier to do in NG+, but possible first go round. I do it with the merc class. Constant dual blades, and to need good stamina when he stuns so you can do max damage.

>oneshot the bosses on your first try
how did you manage to reach that level of damage for BOTH of them on your FIRST try?

All you need to do beat Dancer is strafe and get up in dat ass with a decent shield. Everything she does is blocked well enough except for that stupid fury swipe thing she does in her second stage that you can just unlock and run away from and her super-telegraphed grab.
