How to unlock the Iudex Gundyr achievement in DARK SOULS III - Definitive Guide

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:

This Achievement is bugged for me, I have not idea why. I only realised this quite recently, looking through my achievements left on here, even though I'm already at end- game.

Thing is, I made two other characters, both of which defeated Iudex Gundyr but still the achievement didn't unlock.

You're not alone DeCoY MeGa XXIV. I've made 2 other characters as well, and defeated Iudex Gundyr again on both characters, still nothing. When I snap achievements though it says Locked, but the progress bar is at 100%. I've been playing the game since North America release and still no luck with it unlocking yet.

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.

This achievement is for beating the very first boss of the game. The first phase of his health (he will change at around 1/2 - 3/4 hp) is generally simple. Dodge his strikes and BE CAREFUL of his swipes. This boss is weak to frost and fire, resistant to dark and bleed while bein immune to poison and toxic. Here is a link to a wiki for more information on the boss: http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Iudex+Gundyr Below are some videos that will help:

Video 3 (thief class):


Video 4 (Knight class):


Hope one or all of these videos and tips helped! If you have any tips let me know.

Found in Cemetary of Ash.

The first boss is surprisingly tough, as soon as you pull the sword out wait for him to move and then hit him a couple of times to take a chunk of his health off then be ready to dodge backwards. Most of his moves hit hard so try and roll through them and strike him on the counter.

At half health he gets mutated and can do some serious damage, especially with his grab, but he is much less mobile so you can heal by dodging backwards a few times to get distance. Try and bait his attacks and roll to the side of him before you counter.

The very first boss. From the first fire we go down. After removing 50% of the boss's health, it will change its appearance a little and become more aggressive.
The tactics at both stages are as follows: we roll behind him and make a couple of blows. Repeat until victorious.

Trophy video.
