Any good advice on Champions Gravetender?

[Harvey69]

Been a while since i played, but i remember back then that this guy just had no room for error for me.

Sometimes i gets his wolfs dead and its 1v1...but my pyros doest seem to do enough dmg, AND i have a hard time figuring out when i have time to cast them.

cause once he gets within melee distance and i havent worked my finger son the keyboard he litterally can 1shot me if i have the slightes loss on Hp wit hthe wolfes.

Any good tips?

the general advise I#ve gotten, keep in mind i have yet to kill this bloke my self yet, is rush him down anyway you can and then handle the wolf after.
either with sheer damage or bait him to let you parry him.

you can however "cheese" him should you want that, youtube and search for cheese for the figth.

well he doges my pyros like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ninja so they are just a waste of time forme to get the off atm..

I hit him for 47dmg with my sword.... pyro hits for 170....

Am i to weak for him atm? im lbl 55

♥♥♥♥ sake: once i get rid of the wolfes there is no frigginf way im gettinghim down with pyros... WAY do dogy and my the time i've spent all my flasks he basically got 50% hp left.

Trying to melee him just makes him 1shot me with a nice stab in the front...

When you kill the both big wolfes on the snowfield at first, the boss wolf will have less hp.

After entering the boss arena throw alluring skulls to distract the wolfes for easier kills.
Try bleed damage for the boss fight, per ex. Flamberge and carthus rouge.
Try great combustion, when he dodges your ranged attacks.

Graveattender must die first.

Being but an NPC and the fact that he uses his shield quiet often - he's very suspectable to shield breaks and ripostes. Parrying and breaking his guard with straight swords (or follower's) is a good way to deal damage to him.

Considering that the wolf appears when he has below 50% health or something like that (maybe 60?) its highly reccomended to attempt to get him below that health with a crit, as to give yourseslf a boost in phase 2.

Then just finish the bastard while trying to avoid the wolf and then fight the wolf 1 on 1.

I was wondenring when I was gonna see a person that has more trouble with the gravetender than the big doggo.
The Rule of Dark Souls: If it exists, someone has a lot of trouble with it.

Burst the Gravetender then use fire against the wolf.

[Scheneighnay]

Immo the gravetender is a lot easier to kill than the doggo.

Parry the ♥♥♥♥ out of him.

If you're a pyro then you're goos at dark sorceries and dark miracles.
Use Dorhy's gnawing. They're both weak to bleed.

Use black flame on his shield to break his guard and riposte him.

This. When I did this boss as a pyro I figured it would be the easiest. But gravetender made it a pain to cast against him.

I went around the side, used CBV against the two wolves there, kills one and catches the other with its edges to nearly kill him. Used melee, black flame and aggression against gravetender. (I was using the follower's sabre) Then the wolf is easy for a pyro when it's just him.

Just spam him with black flame. He blocks as he attacks, so if you hit him with black flame it should always guard break him, allowing you to get a chaos dagger riposte.

Mind sharing your stats, weapon and infusions?

I used the ♥♥♥♥ out of the black flame when i fought him.
Also remember that you can parry him.
Just go for 1 light attack each time you have an opening if you are not confident in your dodge or parry skills
