I just finished as in yesterday evening my first SL1 run. Gwyn was giving me so much trouble. I could parry him maybe 80% of the time, but that 20% would get me killed. After I would guess 15 tries I eventually gave up on parrying everything but his first leaping attack, and managed to Duck, Dodge, Dip, Dive, and Dodge enough to bring him down. Also does anyone else find it somewhat odd that he is weak to fire?

I recently fought Gwyn on without a shield on NG++ and it was intense. You hit that parry or you get destroyed. I eventually beat him by abusing the terrain and burning through about 10 estus flasks.

Ah, the good ol' Five D's. Gwyn, besides 4 Kings was probably my hardest boss in the SL1 run. What pyros / ringset / weapon did you end up using?

On Gwyn I had Great combustion, ring of favor and protection, and Flame Stoneplate Ring. On 4 Kings I got grabbed and thought I was dead, put the controller down and was ready to start a new, only to stand up quickly grab the controller and get a hit in killing the first king, healed and managed the rest without a problem. I guess the random number generator god was in my favor and I got really lucky on them because I beat them on my first try.
