By Soronson
Here is one of the most foolproof methods for defeating the Lord of Cinder. You should only use this is you're really stuck and just want to see the ending.

It's cheesy as heck.

Steps for defeating Gwyn
1. Immediately run to the large stalagmite ahead of you and slightly to the left.

2. Keep this between you and Gwyn at all times. Leave a few extra steps of distance while he swings his sword at you.

3. While he's in his walk animation, peek our slightly on the right-side of the rock so he can see you. We want him to go for the grab.

4. Step back to avoid the grab, then get a few quick hits in.

5. Repeat.

Optional (but recommended):

6. Fight him again, but actually use the skills you've learned throughout the game. The above method is not fun or rewarding, but it works.

7. Maybe come back and leave a thumbs up?
