Dark Sun Gwyndolin is the NPC for the Blade of the Darkmoon covenant and an optional boss that can be encountered in Anor Londo.

In order to access this battle, you first need the Darkmoon Seance ring from the Catacombs. It's in a sarcophagus guarded by a large skeleton in an area behind a fairly obvious breakable brick wall.

Then, you'll need to head to the Darkmoon Tomb, which can be found at the bottom of the giant rotating staircase in Anor Londo. With the staircase lowered to the bottom, you will find a seemingly dead end room with a bonfire and a statue of Gwyn. Equip the Darkmoon Seance ring and the statue will disappear, revealing a path that leads to a fog wall.

You'll notice a carpeted area in front of the fog wall- approach it and Gwyndolin will talk to you. Choose to "kneel" on the carpet and you will be given the option to join the covenant, unlocking the associated achievement. You can then go through the fog wall to begin the battle with Gwyndolin.

This battle takes place in a straight hallway where Gwyndolin appears in the distance and uses three different attacks on you. Your goal is to avoid the attacks and make your way towards Gwyndolin, ideally dealing damage before (s)he teleports away.

The three attacks are:

1) Lob of multiple slow moving, somewhat seeking magical projectiles. Get behind a pillar against either wall to avoid them.
2) Charged up straight magical burst that you can roll sideways to avoid.
3) Volley of arrow shots that can be easily avoided by running forward at an angle.

Push towards Gwyndolin, avoid the attacks, and smash him/her when you can until (s)he is dead and the achievement will unlock.

As always, refer to http://darksouls.wikidot.com for specific information relating to items or locations.

Gwyndolin is one of the optional bosses of the game and can be reached by lowering the spinning tower in Anor Londo and then going down the stairs. You'll reach a room with a bonfire and a big statue ahead, the boss room (and access to the Blade of the Darkmoon covenant) lies behind this statue, however to get past it you'll need to equip a special ring called Darkmoon Seance Ring which can be found inside the Catacombs.

Follow the video below to reach it, the ring will be located inside the open coffin at the end of the corridor at 1:34 of the video:

Once you get in front of said statue, equip the ring and it will vanish. At the end of the corridor you can kneel in the mat on the floor to join the covenant or go through the fog door to face the boss. Be warned though that if you do go through the fog door you won't be able to join the covenant anymore unless you absolve your sins.

Check the bosses section for more information on them.

If you read my hint for the trophy: Covenant - Blades of the Dark Moon, you can see in the video where you need to go down to get to it. Attention, we are not in a hurry to kill him right away, initially, we must get a Miracle from him, which is given to us for donating 10 ears. After that, we calmly go into the fog and kill the boss

The boss is quite dangerous and is quite capable of one-shotting a player who is not using shields. In order to avoid this and save our nerves, we act on the following principle - we hide around the corners from arrows and magic charges, and we dodge from large magic balls. The main thing is not to rush, you will have to repeat the race to the boss 7-10 times, each time he will teleport further and further from you. Or you can poison him with poison arrows while standing at the beginning of the level until he attacks you.
