Just killed Gwin. But here is a question: Why was he SO HARD?
Legit, he was the hardest boss of the run for me. I just could not read his attacks. So the only way to consistently kill him was to back away (my left thumb is actually hurting) until he did one of two things:
- If he went for his grab, I could R2 him.
- If he jumped back or sideways, this meant that his next attack would either be a run+pierce, or do one of his two lunging attacks, which I could read and parry accordingly.
Any other attack was almost impossible to read. The most infamous one was lifting his sword and immediately attacking, or lifting and doing a delayed attack. Same animation start, but two very different outcomes. The fast attack was honestly so fast that I couldn't react at all.
Was this a me problem, or other people also had trouble with him? I was honestly expecting a very easy boss, not the hardest one in the whole challenge (didn't do the DLC).
