Use quick attack weapon and avoid his bite. Also, you can go besides it when it use lighting attack.

I'll say basically the opposite of PositivePlayer and say go for the heaviest weapon you can wield (assuming you're on NG). On low NG cycles, a greathammer for example demolishes them. You'll get a riposte after like 2-3 hits easy. On max NG, I'll let you know when I figure out how to beat them consistently lmao

I feel noob here, what's "NG" ? I keep seeing that everywhere ahah

Yeah, the beasts suck. Here's how to beat em:

Option 1: Focus on survival and go for the head.
Don't over-commit: 1 hit and then dodge. Eventually the thing will stagger from getting bonked on the head and that's when you can deliver a powerful critical to finish it off.
Also: always dodge in the opposite direction of where its going to bite.

Option 2: Bleed.
The bastards are made of soft skin and fur and bleed procs on them easily. Bandit Dagger does a surprisingly quick work on them.
Carthus Rouge can work too.

You just need to survive until it staggers and then stab it.
With a fire dagger, preferably.

It stands for New Game. Basically it means you haven't beaten the game yet. Once you beat the final boss you have the option to start over with all of your stats and items but enemies have increased health and damage.

NG is short for New Game, usually.
In DS3 there is a New Game+ option, which restarts the game with stronger enemies. This goes on up until NG+7 or 8th playthrough, where mobs reach their maximum power and stop. The ultimate challenge.

haha no worries :) NG refers to 'new game', which is the first playthrough on a character. Once you beat the game, you have the option to enter NG+ on the same character: everything gets slightly harder but you keep all your gear. NG+7 is the seventh iteration of that and is the hardest the game can get (where the pontiff beasts hit like trucks lmao).

I like to stagger with head shot then riposte and laugh

ya but when I go back on the bridge, it's not there anymore. Tried to spawn at the bonfire before the bridge, still not there.

[Indigent]

Yeah if you skip on the bridge before the barrier it jumps to the sawmp, kill it in the bridge with a bleed weapon + Carthus Rouge

if you can use Dorhy's Gnawing you already got access to it and it works well too.

My tips for sulyvahn beast: fire and heavy weapons. Now that I think about it every enemy in irythil is very weak to fire.
