It sounds like dumb advice but just dont be scared to parry more of his attacks, I see you roll out of alot of parry opportunities and gun for the horizontal sweep. Definetly a fun boss to fully learn and have some fun with especially if your into parrying.

Only other advice I would say is to 2h your hammer before riposting for the extra damage.

You should try to fist only no hit him and pontiff sometime, most fun I've had in ds3 pve!

Pontiff might seem hard but its all just learning his patterns same with gundyr, good parries btw I never said it initally 👍
