He's really easy to outrun, but he'll shoot it nonstop, which may make some areas just impossible to survive.

    I finally did it… I accepted your non-invitation and completed it.
    If you want to also attempt this gaming feat, here are some notes from my run:
    -Use PEGP on the Undead Asylum Gwyn; it only takes ~42 PEGP loops (a series of PEGPs uninterrupted by grabs)
    -Utilize knowledge of soft caps to level up more effectively (upgrade Vitality, Endurance, and Strength)
    -Use the Zweihänder’s jumping attack to hit Gwyns through walls (much like seen in this run)
    -Use fist weapons such as the Golem Fist for more damage in PEGPs
    -Farm Gwyns at Firelink Shrine to hit mention stat soft caps
    -Do not use magic due (other than Dark Bead) due to punish windows
    -The kick only happened once in my entire run while preforming PEGP, even though it was use through the run
    I wish any brave enough to attempt this challenge good luck!

    Gwyn's "fast slash" as you called it, is actually so fast that when using a big boy weapon like the Great Club, your attack animation is slow enough that Gwyn can miss an attack and fast slash you before you can dodge. I learned this the hard way on my first playthrough, where I played naked with no health investment or shield usage. The Gwyn fight was far from impossible, but a combination of the fast slash taking away my safety net and his slash combo's thrust finisher being a near insta-kill that is near identical to his slash finisher while having dramatically different timing made it partially luck based.
