roll...

Noone can help you with the tutorial boss. If it's your first Souls Game: Thats normal. You will get used to it. Give yourself some time to learn the bosses movesets and the roll timing.

Pull yourself together.

Just stay far away from him until he lunges, run in and attack him, then run out again. Do that until he dies.

People are beating CHampion Gundyr at SL1 without blocking, rolling or parrying, man.

Nur ausrollen dude

[Jonny Sparta]

practice practice :) since u can't block 100% of dmg i would avoid using the sheild.

learn to recognize his different attack and get comfortable with your dodging, the first step in beating any hard enemy in ds, is making it so they can't kill you.

and they can't kill you if they can't hit u. :)
good luck

any class can defeat it, just take your time, maybe you are just burnt out :3 ? take a break.

Try to kill the first Boss in DS1 without running through the Gate. If you can manage it, go back to DS3. The first Boss will drop in Seconds and you will think like.. WTF is this.

parry

The slow moving boss in Dark Souls 1 is so easy compared to the fast and agile one in Dark Souls 3.

No, I didn't get stuck on the first boss and beat him on the first try too as an Assassin.

This. The first boss of DS1 isn't hard, it's just a test of endurance. I've tried doing it before and after taking him down a fourth without getting hit I got bored and left. The first boss of DS3 is much better and harder.

I defeated Iudex my first time (also first DS game ever for me) with a Warrior. But I "practiced" a lot on the enemies outside, making sure I could kill them all without taking any damage first before trying to fight the boss, it a was close fight though, but I felt proud as all hell for not dying to the first boss at all.

Then I tried to fight The Master and got ButtF'd a few times before giving up. But I used the same strat to beat Vordt on my first try, as well. But the knights were f***king me up for a long time before I got to him.

It's all about the rolling.

Rolling is your primary defensive action in DSIII, and to be decent at the game, you have to learn to time them properly, and in the proper direction.

Time your rolls to coincide right when you think the weapon is going to strike you. You'll be punished for rolling too early. Your goal, usually, is to end up at their side, or behind them.

If you're hurt - don't panic! Wait for an opening, such as when the boss does an attack you recognize that has a limited range or a predictable direction. Heal then, and then resume combat.

Get in one or two strikes at most, and then prepare to do more dodging. Don't get greedy with your hits.

Playing DS requires a certain rhythm to it, which you learn slowly over time.

OK I finally did it. But I had to change class to Knight. Was somehow way easier with him. I dealt more damage and wasn't as squishy as the mercenary. Mercenary is a veteran class, right ?

Not as veteran as thief. Knight is the typical noob class. Cleric is another noob class for having heal spell at the beginning.

Well, since I'm Noob as f*ck, Knight may be the best choice for me.
