and the ethnicities include

Altair, Connor, Adewale, Arbuz Mir, Shao Jun and Aveline.

I'M SO FUCKING CLOSE TO BEATING DARK SOULS BUT GYWN IS SUCH A FUCKING ASSHOLE.

I can't learn to parry, I've tried all kinds of swords,shields, etc.

Nothing is working.

He's too aggressive and my timing for parry is too shit. I was hoping to beat this shit before Bloodborne and just so I can say I beat Dark Souls.

So go back to Firelink and practice on the Hollows there.

Just remember, the timing for Parry in DaS is really odd, you want to hit it right as your about to get hit, one you put the shield up that is the window where you can parry someone, everything after that is a recovery animation.

Have you tried parrying with the parrying dagger?

I've found that everyone but me was apparently super adverse to parrying in Dark Souls for some reason. I killed the Undead Burg Black Knight by parrying as soon as I encountered him, and everyone else either came back later to smash his face in, or lamed it out with drop attacks/arrows/black firebombs. To me it's just so intuitive, but everyone I know either dodges or turtles the entire game and never learns to parry.

Anyway, the best enemy to practice parrying on is the spear hollows you encounter in Undead Burg and other places (in fact, the one in the Asylum is right where the devs tell you about parrying). Their timing is really straightforward.

Target Shield? I don't have that one.

Parrying Dagger? I'll have to see if I have it in the item box or if I need to go find it. :/

So, are you guys saying to keep the shield up and parry? Or leave it down and parry?

Nah I learned to parry early, I actually thought it was the block when I very first played, then learned what it was and relied on that way more then the block.

I'm assuming you've fought Gwyn enough times now to have seen everything in his move set. I would just keep it down, and recognize the start up animation for his moves and then prepare to time it correctly.

I had to lame it out on the first encounter because I hadn't quite figured parry out, but I kept re-loading a save until I had mastered Parrying and black knights became fun encounters after that.

Well if you want to cheese it, there's an exploit with the environment. I don't remember exactly how it work except you basically you run around a pillar and the you have to keep the pillar in between you and gywn. Wait for him to attack then have at him till he recovers. I think that's the way you cheese it iirc

That's what is so infuriating to me, I know all his moves and I can literally dodge all of them even that crazy tracking Lunge he does. THe problem is that after Dodging I have no window to attack so it just turns into this ridiculous swordsman ballet of me flipping around and him doing his cool things. Honestly he seems piss easy, he takes around 300 damage everytime I get hit in, but it becomes this awful war of dodge and block attrition.

Also his command grab is bullshit, and I find it hard to predict it because the animation he goes into looks exactly the same as one of his sword move startups.

It's just that he never gives me enough opening to heal because his attacks can do a lot of damage when my Shield isn't up.

Except no one is paying attention to you.

You should go to Alexis Nihon, Montreal Quebec, set your self on fire with a sign next to you saying "whens ultimax"

They still won't play it though.

I ALWAYS pay attention to Korra.
except when the week ends and skla has to use a new avatar that's not Korra

Hm..I'm not just gonna say git gud, but stop using your shield for blocking, I'm assuming you're using a medium shield which is fine. Use it only for parrying, people tend to use that as a crutch. Once you parry him, switch to two handed and wreck his shit, and then keep dodging until you see an attack you're comfortable enough to try and parry..then rinse and repeat.

Have fun with Kalameet.

More DS1 parry advice: parry the hand, not the weapon. The movements of weapons can often be deceptive, but if you watch the enemy's hand, as soon as it begins to swing toward you, you should have enough time to hit the parry button and get in the window, without being early.

Gonna miss the new thread because reasons. Someone please post something respectable on the front page for new people who might glance at the thread for some strange reason. Just do say it's the Giantbomb of things like I did with the last thread.
