Iudex Gundyr as a Deprived

[LanceDespinsTTV]

I've gotten very close many times. Any tips for this guy?

Black Firebombs starting item, parry him until phase 2, once transformation is complete, dodge and throw a firebomb. Repeat until all 5 black firebombs are used, he should be dead.

Roll to avoid his attacks, and don't keep your distance during the second phase. His attacks are mostly mid ranged so if you hug him and roll through the sweeps or close attacks, you will be fine.

Plank Shield can't parry so you'll have to parry with both hands empty and then switch to your Club for the riposte.

Stay behind him in phase 2. He can't hit you.

Yeah, this works. My mistake was trying to draw him to me with his jump attack, dodge, then beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of him while hew as recovering.

Protip: To defeat Iudex Gundyr, hit him until he dies.

Seriously though, I was able to beat him as Deprived the same way I beat him as Herald and Knight: Stay close to him, keep your shield up, roll to dodge anything you can see coming, and hit him during his recovery frames. Sure, it's probably the most generic strategy in the game, but if it works, it works!

I'd be insulted if it wasn't said at least once.

Thx for the tips. Just killed him as deprived and he did not hit me at all. Just roll behind him and stay close.

[GrayHound]

Try dodging.

[Krivvin]

Just stay close to him, constantly fast-walking (full tilt on the movement stick) behind him while attacking. That's really all I needed to do in both stages.

Two-hand the club, use the Battle Art to do more damage, and just destroy him.

[Teiryn]

you have over 100h in this game and cannot beat him as deprived ... what?

[Dallas]

Stand behind him
The end

Forget about your plank shield, is useless (and for the rest of the game too), my advice is the following:
Get the firebombs before the boss area (there is a cliff passage to the right, where two enemies are guarding them)
Get your weapon two handed.
Lock on him.
Stay always to his left, your right, and when he does a swing, locked on, roll so you always stay at his left side (this is his weak spot, because he doesnt have a shield and his weapon is on the other hand)

When he changes his phase to a black monster, you can keep the same position to hit him, but I recommend the bombs, because that guy is weak vs. fire.
