Gwyn Lord of Cinder Data

Gwyn, Lord of Cinderwas greatest of the gods and a mighty warrior. He was known equally the Lord of Sunlight and headed the efforts to finish the Age of Ancients, together with Gravelord Nito, the Witch of Izalith, and the dragon-traitor, Seath the Scaleless. Leading his knights, he led the Gods to victory and oversaw the Age of Fire. Despite bequeathing elements of his soul to the Four Kings and Seath the Scaleless, his soul remains "a powerful thing indeed."

Around a m years prior to the showtime of the game,Gwyn sacrificed himself to link the Kickoff Flame. His reasons for doing so are disputed, just what is sure is that his principal motivation was to postpone the terminate of the Age of Burn down. He was succeeded by his children: his firstborn, the banished God of War who lost his status every bit a deity; his girl 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.

He can be fought after acquiring all Lord Souls and Lord Soul Shards and returning them to the Lordvessel at Firelink Altar, which volition grant access to the Kiln of the First Flame.

Quotes

"Once living, now Undead, and a plumbing fixtures heir to male parent Gwyn thou art,
And beseech thee. Succeed Lord Gwyn, and inheriteth the Burn of our world.
Grand shall endeth this eternal twilight, and avert further Undead sacrifices."

- The illusion of Gwynevere, revealing the chosen Undead's destiny to succeed her father, Lord Gwyn.

"Lord Gwyn trembled at the Dark.
Clinging to his Age of Burn, and in dire fear of humans,
And the Dark Lord who would i day be built-in 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 nascence of the Night Lord."

- Darkstalker Kaathe, giving an alternative, darker account of Lord Gwyn to the chosen Undead.

Tips

• The room is round only there are many obstacles in the room; put them between you and him for a few precious seconds of breathing room.
• Learn his repertoire; you tin vanquish most bosses without knowing their every tell, just non so here. He's too fast for that, so you need know what he's going to do.
• Donot apply lightning-based weapons; Gwyn has an incredible resistance to them and will about half the player's impairment output.
• Gwyn is likewise EXTREMELY RESISTANT to Religion-based offensive miracles, such every bit Lightning Spear and Sunlight Spear, practically nullifying their usefulness.

Attacks

Gwyn is crazy fast, extremely ambitious, deals both concrete and fire damage, and has incredible melee range. He has an unpredictable blueprint, and reacts to what you exercise quickly, and perhaps more than so than any other enemy in this game. He can easily dodge your attacks when not in an attack animation. While his Corking Lord Greatsword tin can be obtained, only his agree the power of fire.

Slashes

Gwyn unleashes a avalanche of slashes. He has several slashing combinations and moves.

Starting with a very fast diagonal slash, then a horizontal i, and does this 2x. The attack volition track, so the all-time way to avert getting striking is with a well-timed roll every bit he winds his weapon to country a hit. He is also able to get a thrust in, during this assail, which can be very dangerous equally it tin can stun you, leaving you susceptible to more than harm. If y'all want to parry, you lot should block the fast get-go diagonal slash and parry the second. Gwyn delays the second swing a piddling so parry only when he is about to attack.

If at that place is some distance between you two, he tin break your guard by performing a single jumping slash attack that comes out in 2 variations. During the depression jump his sword points left during the travel fourth dimension and raises upwardly just before he attacks. You tin parry it past hitting the parry button during the raising of the sword. The high leap can be parried later on Gwyn has reached the top of the spring and is coming downwards to attack. You lot need to estimate the timing because Gwyn usually jumps so loftier that he is off-camera when yous should press the parry button.

While another philharmonic which consists of a potent first slash, followed by 2 more than lesser ones, can take upwards 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 push button when the tip of the sword is pointing behind him, straight away from yous.

Thrusts

While running towards you, Gwyn thrusts his weapon at y'all. It happens if there is some altitude betwixt y'all two or right after Gwyn backsteps. Can thrust too during combos. While the hitbox of a thrust may not be great, Gwyn may determine to switch to a slash midway combo, so always watch his movements and adjust your tactics accordingly. You tin hit the parry button as presently equally you see the running thrust assail coming. If you were close enough, it will often exist a successful parry.

Grab Attack

If you find Gwyn making an attempt to take hold of yous, do as yous would to any other erstwhile homo trying the same thing; don't let him. Roll out of the style, or be prepared to be lifted into the air and thrown blown up. The explosion will send you lot beyond the room and deal very high damage.

Kick

If you've been blocking Gwyn a lot at a shut range, he will perform a front stomp kick, which will drain a large portion of stamina if blocked, and knock y'all downwards if not.

Strategy

Gwyn has many different attacks, mostly involving a non-end barrage of sword swings which will take down your shield and stamina quickly. So while he may seem as if he hasn't any weaknesses, rest assured knowing he does, and if timing is one of your strengths, then yous're in the commuter's seat; Gwyn Tin BE PARRIED.

The standard strategy is to proceed Gwyn far plenty away and then he misses his attacks made against you lot, while calculation a combination of rolling and quick attacks and bankroll off, you can slowly whittle abroad his health and beat him. Also, hiding behind 1 of the large rocks near the center of the room then he hits the rock rather than you, works well; when he goes for a take hold of and misses go in for a hit and back off. You tin also hit him later he finishes his 3-4 hit combo.

Strategy 1 - Parry

The easiest strategy would exist to utilise Fe Flesh combined with Havel'due south Set, and parry Gwyn's attacks to defeat him. Blocking his first swing and parry his follow-upwardly should make the parry more consistent. You can too utilise the Dragon Greatsword to stagger him as well, if two-handed him while on Iron Flesh. This is by far cheapest way to beat him; yes he tin can exist parried, over and over, making him beatable without taking any damage at all, if you're able to time his attacks.

You also accept enough time subsequently performing a riposte to drink an estus, and in fact, his reaction when y'all exercise and then can exist exploited - if y'all riposte and then drink an estus, Gwyn will ALWAYS call back he sees an opening, and practice the verbal same motility - a two-handed slash, which is one of his more telegraphed and hands parried moves.  Therefore, you can keep repeating the verbal same concatenation of "Parry - Riposte - Drink Estus, to bait ii-Handed Swing - Parry - ..." etc, until he is dead.

Strategy 2 - Mage

Apply Homing Soulmass or Homing Crystal Soulmass when y'all have put enough altitude betwixt y'all and the dominate, withal if you put too much space and he'll dive bomb you. Then rush him with your shield up so that when your Soulmasses launch, he'll be likewise busy attacking you to dodge. Exercise this 3 to 6 times (depending on - Intelligence - and he's done. In fact, this strategy works very well even without a shield. Lord Gwyn is very good at dodging Soul Spears and Soul Arrows, but he is terrible at dodging Soulmasses. He will try to contrivance spells when yous cast them by sidestepping without taking into account the slight delay before Soulmass spells get off. By dodging his attacks and repeatedly casting one of the two, Gwyn tin be killed relatively easily.

Another method for casters (or anyone requiring some more room to heal, etc.) is to make utilize of the very large rock formation to the left of the room, facing in from the fog gate. There is a large rock that can exist used to create a large amount of breathing room, and the only issue when using this strategy is leading Gwyn to the spot. It's all-time to starting time out in the center, and and then roll backwards until you accomplish the wall slightly behind the rock and and then curl to the right, throwing yourself over the small uprising betwixt the wall and the edge of the rock. This method volition by and large stop Gwyn'due south onslaught for a fair while as he fails i or fifty-fifty two non-jumping attacks, giving you lot an immensely gratifying break to heal up or load a Homing Soulmass. Beware though, this reprieve is merely temporary and his jumping assail can clear the obstacle easily if y'all motility far enough away from him to trigger it.

Strategy three - Condom First

Equip your best heavy armor such equally Smough's Set up or Havel's Fix forth with the Havel's Ring. The ring is crucial to be able to back away quick enough to dodge his kick or grab attacks. Next, equip a leveled Black Iron Greatshield, the college the ameliorate. This will negate the burn harm from his attacks and absorb the majority of his strikes with ease.While he may exist highly resistant to lightning damage, a leveled Lightning Greatsword will stun him and give you time to dorsum abroad and let your stamina furnish. The primal with the strategy here is to stay close plenty to him that he doesn't practice his dive bomb merely far away plenty to yet be able to back away from his grab assault. And so merely barely out of his swords reach whenever possible, just it's practiced to vary your distance to try to lure him into going for the grab or kicking. As soon as you lot encounter him start to lean in with his shoulder start to dorsum away. Subsequently he misses the grab or kicking, get in for a hard R2 strike. In order for this to work you must proceed an center on your stamina bar at all times and drib your shield later on each attack concatenation to let stamina recharge; it is important to maintain a minimum of l% stamina at all times.

Repeat this, and in no fourth dimension he'll be gone. Another matter that works well is to go along moving and circling him with shield upward in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise management. When he does his 3-4 strike attack, you can more often than not contrivance all swings past momentarily moving side to side, as he swings each way, saving you precious stamina. There's no need to roll with this strategy but it can be done if you get caught without enough stamina to block and need to go away to recover. You will need a reasonable high SL for this strategy. Minimum forcefulness and stamina in the mid thirty's.

Strategy four - Footing & Pound

If you have the Iron Flesh pyromancy, purchased from Laurentius, and a skilful heavy harm weapon, yous can accept Gwyn inside a infinitesimal or ii. When y'all enter the fog gate walk a few steps forward and use Iron Flesh, raise your shield and wait for him to come up. When you defend his spring attack, get double-handed weapon and don't end attacking him; with a +five Black Knight Greataxe you lot are able to stun him on every ii hits, when this happens go to the dorsum of Gwyn and continue attacking until he dies. Wearable your strongest physical damage reduction armor and the Flame Stoneplate Ring before entering the fog gate. Just be conscientious when Iron Flesh issue ends !

• A Black Knight Shield +v, has 74 stability and a 95% Fire damage block. Tank hi*****southward until he does his catch move which leaves him vulnerable for several seconds.
• The Blackness Knight Sword +v can stagger him every second 2-handed hit. If you have a decent amount of stamina, simply beat on him until you are about out. Stop attacking after the last staggering hit you tin can hit him with. If the concluding hit does not stagger him, he will have recovered by the time you will be able to get your shield out.

Strategy 5 - Nuke Mage

Recommended equipment:

Headgear: Crown of Dusk

Rings: Bellowing Dragencrest Ring (more spell power), Chloranthy Band (for extra dodging)

Staff: Logan'due south Goad OR tin adjournment (more than spell ability, less casts)

Spells: Pursuers, Crystal Soul Spear

(This strategy requires the player to parry Gwyn'southward opening lunge attack.)

Right after entering the fog gate, cast Pursuers and ready your Crystal Soul Spear. No thing what you lot do, Gwyn'south opening motility volition e'er be the same: Lunge Attack. Given the predictability of this first assault as well as it existence amid his most easily parried moves, it is a very good opportunity to exploit even as a pure caster. Upon a successful parry, fire a Crystal Soul Spear at him. By the time yous're washed, the Pursuers will have hit him besides, stunning him briefly. Use this time to bandage a second Pursuers and stay abroad from Gwyn, buying time for the orbs to hit him over again. Practice not go greedy with the Soul Spears as Gwyn is uncommonly adept at dodging every one of them, which is why this strategy requires you to parry him outset. If yous are uncomfortable with parrying him, simply bandage pursuers, dance around him and wait for them to striking him. Depending on your intelligence, equipment, and whether you parried his first attack, he might get down with the second pursuer cast. If yous need to buy more than time for the Pursuers to connect, yous can also utilize some of the obstacles in the arena.

Summon

If Solaire of Astora survived the 'Izalith incident' (please note that you need to talk to him, killing the anarchy bug with spells or past the shortcut isn't plenty. I had to run all the mode back in Lost Izalith and talk to him in order to exist able to summon him confronting Gywn), then he tin can be summoned at the summit of the last staircase. Utilise him to draw Gwyn's attending. To make him survive, concentrate more than on protecting Solaire than fighting Gwyn.

Every bit the Kiln area remains popular for loftier level PvP, It is easy to summon players to aid with the boxing should yous cull. The well-nigh common location for summoning signs is on the platform at the base of the long staircase leading downwardly from the lordvessel, but signs may too be found scattered throughout the level and before Gwyn's dominate fog gate.

Given the high charge per unit of invasions in the area, exist prepared to sprint for the boss gate as soon every bit your summon(s) arrive.

Game Ending (Spoilers)

Upon defeating Gwyn, y'all have ii choices. Exiting through the doorway, later on defeating Gwyn, will give you the 'Dark Lord' ending. If you lite the Bonfire you get the 'Link the Fire' catastrophe. In either case, you will then immediately get into New Game Plus, so make sure you take done everything else you wish to do in your electric current playthrough before y'all decide to defeat Gwyn.

Playbook

If you would similar a complete play-past-play that will vanquishGwyn, here is nonetheless some other strategy, nevertheless this one is in full detail. If the player has a weapon that can do ~150 damage on him per swipe, and a Greatshield with more than than fourscore stability that is at the correct strength requirement such that the shield is drawn quickly, then the histrion is prepared. It is also recommended to use the Chloranthy Ring and the Mask Of The Child for this, to help this strategy:

1. He lunges for his kickoff attack. This can be tanked on the shield, and yous have room for up to two hits, if the stamina cost is non low for the player. At this event, it is practiced to get a lock-on. Note that this lock-on can be broken by Gwyn very oft and easily, so go along in mind to maintain the lock. Information technology is easy to dart to this surface area if the player would sprint-jump to regain stamina, so re-attempting this fight is easy, too.
2. When he grabs you lot by raising his left manus, you tin back-step away. You can also dodge scroll, merely if that fails, you can utilize one of the wider and taller pillars (1 of them is next to the fog gate), and that volition become you the needed time to apply an Estus Flask. Letting him do this more than than in one case without fully healing is a very bad idea, and can kill your attempt. Probably the best pillar is almost the fog gate, as it has a broad base, which can give a significant buffer for healing, but in that location is as well some other extra-thick pillar near the center of the arena where you first meet Gwyn and where the bonfire pops upwards after the fight, which will allow for safe healing.
3. His combos are a deadly iii-piece, and four piece, at longest. When his three piece is done, he will finish with an up slash, and that's when you hitting him. It is brash not to use a weapon with a slower light-attack than a short sword, and handaxes are preferred, as they balance reach, impairment, speed, and durability well.
4. Parrying is an selection, and all of Gwyn's sword-swipes tin can be parried easily as long every bit the bract is traveling toward the actor, while the shield is actually doing the parry animation, but it'southward not a 100% success charge per unit, and does non do damage, unless the player stacks at to the lowest degree two significant buffs. Note that failing a parry can almost insta-kill a player, or make his health too low to get into a healing position.
5. Reverse to what people say, he is not weak to fire, and so no chaos weapons or fire weapons are going to change the personality of the battle.
6. If you get besides far from him, he volition lunge, and sometimes he volition get you behind your shield, and then it is better to non go further than the tip of his sword.

This strategy should take about twenty minutes, but is very safe, and effective, as it guarantees damage with little to no existent health-tanking needed.
