      @@JohnDoe-xt3kf due to the tracking, it’s heavily dependent on context and environment which makes it so there’s no 1 consistent way to dodge it which makes it a lot more about knowledge than timing.
      Whilst I do think it’s an interesting idea to have a move that you need to think for, it’s somewhat poorly executed since there aren’t really any other moves that need you to think like this which causes it to be really difficult to be able to actually tell what the intended way to dodge it is.
      (This has also now been patched in the most recent update but it’s worth bringing up how the original spawn location for the Gaius was directly in front of the fog gate which was the one place where it actually is possible to dodge either left or right freely, which is the biggest culprit for making it seem like it’s just a normal move that can be dealt with the normal way)

      Why would you expect a boss to behave like the player character ? Bosses fight in souls games were always supposed to be "superior" to the player character in terms of what they're able to do, it was always supposed to be the player overcoming the odds and killing beings more powerful than them. don't remember Artorias behaving like the player character, he does backflip, frontflip and leap across the arena, he outclass the player character in terms of movement and abilities.
      This is a consistent thing across 99% of bosses in souls games, they're not supposed to be the equal of the player characters they're supposed to be very powerful beings that surpass the player character in every way.
      This doesn't make the fights unfair mechanically since the player character has i-frames and is able to dodge 99% of attack thrown by the bosses, when they're not able it's most likely a bug to be fixed.

      Honestly, the only problem with Gaius is the charge. The rest of his moveset is pretty standard for an ER Boss

  • @Arexion5293
    @Arexion5293 Před 29 dny

    Since I found trying to dodge roll the long range charge inconsistent, I ended up always running jumping to the side instead. Works consistently when timed right. If the charge started up close meanwhile dodge roll is consistent.

    u earned my sub, great hard work!
    for the people struggling with this boss.
    greatshield + no skill, weapon(w/ashes of war) that can do a thrust with holy damage, impaling thrust, giant hunt, piercing fang, or the new crucible wings with a weapon that will do a thrust and not a weapon that makes you hold the weapon sideways.
    crucible wings is the best bet, as it has a lot of movement priority, so you can thrust, hit him, and you can shift to the left or right, and go past and behind him before he swings, and you might take another hit but it should be weaker, and you can dodge some attacks using the wings.
    talismans/physick dont matter that much, but focus on either, damage, blue bar(FP size, the FP regen talisman is great if you had low FP like me, by the time youre ready to use the L2 attack again, you have just enough.), shield power, stamina, or raw defense. highly suggest just using golden vow and flame grant me strength(for the plain physical), or use the godslayer fire armor(forgot the incantation and never picked it up on that file i beat gaius on.)
    ya gotta at least be medium weight, lightweight if you want to roll on his dashes and most attacks, on medium you will need to pace yourself and shield half of the melee attacks and dodge everything else.
    for his giant spin attack crashing, run directly backwards, just make sure theres enough space behind the camera. this will easily dodge the entire attack.
    if you struggle on his beginning dash attack with dodge rolling or shielding, you can go on your horse torrent and double jump diagonally to the left forward over his head when he gets nearby.
    Gaius can attack you from literally any direction when your hugging him, and he has quite some distance and tracking if you simply try to out-sprint his attacks running away, it will catch you. he basically does spin attacks almost or spins on a dime, think of it like that.
    after shield some attacks, you can sprint forward very briefly and do your thrusts.
    highly reccommend fire knights greatsword.
    good luck.

    The moment I first walked into his boss chamber it was something straight out of a movie. I didn't rest at the grace because I just didn't want to and was running at half flasks. I walked onto the field trying to ascertain what the place was. I then remembered all the footage I have seen of this boss fight and realized what it was. I tried rushing back to the room but it was too late, the boss healthbar had appeared and I was about to feel the wrath of Gaius's galactic drill 3000.

    Just fought this guy and all I can say is thank god they added deflect tear so I could fight him Sekiro style. Deflect was my go-to for dealing with that stupid charge, negates all damage and only eats about half my stamina at 40 endurance (deflecting with prelates crozier). The only time I could dodge it with med roll, was if I de-locked from him and it was still inconsistent. I imagine the sure-fire way to dodge it would be light roll, bloodhound step, or the i-frames from mounting torrent.

      eh, fighting him on horseback wasn't too fun from my experience. While you can flank around and jump over a lot of the attacks, the pig still has some pretty janky hitboxes that make it feel like a coin flip each time on wether or not it hits you. Pairing this with the fact that getting hit will ABSOLUTELY kill torrent, and leave you stunned on the ground long enough for Gaius to get a free hit on you, the risk just isn't worth it. Had a lot more fun fighting this guy on foot than I did on horseback tbh

    They seem to have changed this boss, he rides in from the far left side of the arena now, giving you loads of time to prep/buff. Also bloodhound’s step helps with the charge if you sweep directly to the side of the attack. I’m probs in the minority of people who don’t hate this fight. I mean it’s not great but at the same time it’s not horrible.

  • @gergcas
    @gergcas Před 28 dny

    Yeah I really was annoyed with this boss. I read his starting position was moved back, so that should make him a bit easier to set up on. Also, you can light roll through that OP charge if you roll forward and slightly to one side, which makes it a lot easier to punish him or heal, but medium roll is very likely to get caught at the end.
