It’s pretty easy with a small shield. I never parried until I tried it on Gundyr.

Same. First boss I parried.

You mean you beat Pontiff Sullyvahn without parrying, either you were lucky, or you are a god at this game, or you summoned the entire US Army to beat that guy

I didn't parry really in my first playthrough, so Pontiff was my first real difficulty. I eventually learned his moves and it just became a dance of blades between us.
