    Iudex Gundyr is the very first boss that you will encounter while playing dark souls 3.

    He is not all that hard except for the fact that like many bosses in dark souls 3, he can grab you and throw you across the map & if positioned near the edge of the map can throw you off.

    Start off by attacking him straight away when removing the sword from his chest to score in a good 3-4 hits then circle strafe around him counter clock wise (to the right) and you will kill him real fast. Be careful though! At around 35% health left he will transform & become very deadly if you let him hit you, However during his transformation you can get more free hits on him so he should be a problem.

    Below is a video guide for this fight:

    Actually, although this is a tutorial boss, I found Iudex Gundyr to be rather challenging, and I said so as a Dark Souls 1 and 2 player. The boss is weak, but your Ashen One is also very weak, with absolutely no upgrade at all. Once Gundyr has Abyss snake sprouted out things can get from good to bad if you get careless.

    Above guide about covers it but if you are really having troubles... Try picking Black Firebombs as the starting gift. You can also pick up 5 regular firebombs from the drop near the entrance to the boss arena, or you can also weave down the hill from the other side.
    I recommend getting in those first few hits while he fully becomes combat ready and then if you can deal the damage normally during the first form and carefully time your throws during the second you should have no problem defeating him with just the normal fire bombs.
