@bbalpert: Parry his ass and riposte...when you see the grab animation, roll out of the way and use the opportunity to either heal or stab him in his stupid face.
I try, but I can't get the timing consistently enough. I can get 1 riposte in on a good run, maybe 2 if I'm really lucky, but then I just get smoked. The frustrating thing about that is that the bonfire-to-boss walk is just long enough to prevent me from adequately practicing the parries. When I was having trouble with Ornstein and Smough, I was able to get pretty good at parrying the silver knights because both versions were right by the bonfire. Not to mention the fact that there are 5 guys between the bonfire and Gwyn, each with their own set of attacks, so by the time I get back to the boss room I've already lost that short term muscle memory.
I know you're giving me good advice, and I do appreciate it, but right now I'm just frustrated.
