Once Gundyr's health has been depleted by half, the Pus of Man emerges from his body to attack the player itself. Staying at a small distance from him makes dodging his attacks easier, allowing the player to counterattack. While his attacks hit quite hard, most of them are slow and can be telegraphed easily. Staying too far away from Gundyr is not recommended as he can unleash a quick charge that homes in on the player. Gundyr attacks by swinging his halberd at the player, occasionally performing combos with his attacks. Once it is removed, Gundyr rises to his feet to face the player. He is in a kneeling position and unable to be interacted with until the Coiled Sword is pulled from his chest. At the end of the cemetery is a large amphitheater outside the entrance to the Firelink Shrine, with Gundyr standing in the middle. Many years pass when the player Ashen One is summoned by the bell in the Cemetery of Ash. However, sometime during his judging way, Gundyr was corrupted by a Pus of Man, a segment of the Abyss.

When another was eventually summoned, Gundyr was bested and became a sheath to the Coiled Sword, impaled within his chest, judging the arrival of a chosen unkindled one. Gundyr decided to instead guard the entrance to the Shrine, waiting for another Ashen One to be summoned by the bell. Gundyr was an Ashen One who arrived too late to the Firelink Shrine without fire and a bell that would not toll.
