can't beat Iudex Gundyr

[Anne Happy]

Hi guys, so I got the problem, for last two hours I am trying to beat that boss and I can't manage to get him down to even to 50% of his hp... what do I do?

EDIT 1: oki, Iudex is dead... but got killed by some guy with a sword... and then again and again... will the game continue in this manner?

Unfortunately for you, that boss is the first and cannot be cooped. Honestly, he's not that hard and there are MUCH harder bosses later on. Maybe the class you picked isn't the right class for you. I recommend the knight for beginners.

Learn his attacks and learn how to dodge them then attack inbetween.

Dodge, don't block. Only attack when you're certain you can get away with it. Don't estus in his face, get away first.

Finally, rolling is like beer, you say you're only gonna take one but you always end up with more. Don't be afraid to double- or tripleroll.

What a lot of people don't realise is that 'git gud' is actually pretty sound advice.
Learn to roll through his attacks, learn his attack patterns and when you should get in a hit or two, learn when you've got an opening to chug some estus etc... basically just git gud.

Ludex Gundyr shouldn't be too hard of a boss. He mostly has slow telegraphed attacks, learn the timings on them and the boss will suddenly become a breeze. And if you can't beat him, perhaps instead of trying harder, maybe just take it a bit slower for a moment. Just go into the fight, don't attack him and just practice dodging his attacks, when you get the hang of that... You'll see openings a plenty.

Though depending on your starting class he might still be quite hard, unless you've picked Knight, Herald or warrior, I'd suggest making a new character and trying to fight him with one of the more beefy starting characters.
Also second phase is where the real fun begins in that fight, so you'll probably need that extra chunk of health and damage.
