Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Commander Gaius Cheese

Credit to Mikhail Keplara on KZbin for the original idea, I just swapped out spells for Mogh’s spear + 10
This was done on Xbox One, NG+ 3

[@Tau_Aquila]

Easily one of the worst bosses fromsoft has made so far jeeeesus christ those hitboxes are fucky

[@mihaillunya]

All bosses in this dlc pain in the ass except scorpion Malenia and lion. Also bullshit system with scadutree blessings omg 50 collectables for not dying by single hit.

[@Tau_Aquila]

@mihaillunya nahh I found the lion, bayle, and even Rellana very fair and honestly very fun. Bayle especially when I went back to him with 11x scadu I found him to be very very fun and faor

[@mynameed7720]

I know the DLC is frustrating with how hard the bosses are, but legitimately I haven't had any hitbox issues, and I got stuck on this boss for like a solid hour just ramming my head into a wall trying to beat him. You just gotta be patient and look for openings with these bosses, they're by far the hardest group FromSoft have released

[@Tau_Aquila]

@mynameed7720 no dude I sat at the boss fight for a long time just downloading his moveset and there are a ton of attacks that have fucked hitboxes, his charge attack especially has a lingering hitbox that lasts waay too long

[@rickyhuxedurp5440]

Yeah I definitely agree that this boss and the golden hippopotamus (which is not as bad) has a bit of a lingering hit box on the charge attack that I hope gets patched

[@boof994]

Fuck this boss, im changing builds and doing this

[@violetstitch]

Took me three goes with this, fuck this guy

[@kaze69_]

only boss ive ever cheesed and i dont feel bad 😂

[@benjamincarstens2931]

lmao same

[@wraith3156]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. This cheese method saved me so much pain. I'm playing ng+3 and I tried to do this fight legit 20ish times, but it is straight up broken. This is probably the worst boss fight I've ever seen in any video game. The horrible hitboxes and the fact it can spawn camp the door before you get control of your character make me wonder if anyone even playtested this particular fight.

[@nihad4566]

Agreed, I’m not sure how such an awesome dlc can have such a terribly designed boss. This has to be in my top 10 worse from soft bosses list

[@KLK01]

Wait till you fight Prudescent Knight

[@ZullDalm]

I play ng+7;))))))))

[@traeadams4738]

I’m not gonna lie this was clutch kept getting one shotted by the lightning that came from the ground

[@gastontzartos1928]

i play on NG7 and this thing killed me one shot with ANYTHING he did... i am 280 lvl i think and i died like 30 times without doing ANYTHING... i hate horse fight... you saved me man for real u did find a cheese... the guy needed 12 times the move to die he had like 1m HP... bleed helped thank you.

[@user-vz3sq7qj4i]

Bro um at NG5 lvl 301 and the fire giant of wood of the shadow platous do one shoot to me

[@BlackThorn03]

Fr this video is amazing. I'm level 378 and also on NG+7 and this DLC is putting me through the ringer

[@newusawhothis1868]

Bruh, im level 665 and on NG7, this boss pushed me to the limits and I almost quitted the DLC because of this fight alone, 89 Vigor and level 9 blessing and still get one-shotted, Bullshit

[@Wenninger7]

I can’t get this cheese to work. I’m legit at me end 😂 fool always gets around the corner with half health and eats my lunch

[@dudu_alonne]

I'm in ng+7 aswell and i tried a lot of weapons but i remembered bloody helice existed and that helped me to dodge a lot of his attack and it made the fight much easier

[@SuperOfficial88]

Thank you so much, this technique helped a lot, got him in the second try

[@findog2600]

bro this helped so much so grateful 🙏🏻

[@HollowedPrince]

You are a saint! After watching this, I got him in three attempts! Thank you so much!

[@SwayRod836]

This is the best method and weapon for this boss. Thank you so much.

[@tizianabassi7268]

bro thanks you are a lifesaver

[@mafia_qa723]

Thx mannnnn you made my day❤️❤️

[@ThinyBoi]

This is easily one of the best cheeses for this boss and the most risk free

[@benliew8380]

You are a saviour and a genius!

[@jonathanhansen2651]

you can outrun his charge attack on horseback and his swings don't hit if you ride towards him right beside him and you can hit him twice for free. his flurry with the mount that ends in a downward thrust have time for 2-3 hits after it ends. His rock sling is slow. His Radahn gravity spin has limited range. His gravity orb he rarely uses has limited range and is telegraphed. His phase 2 windup AoE is slow and lets you get a hit or 2 without taking damage. The conjured spikes from the ground can be dodged everytime by spamming sprint/dodge button on horse. The only 2 attacks that are a bit difficult to dodge is his twirling arrow with AoE and when the boar looks sideways coming towards you to swipe upwards with the tusks. the arrow is dodged by going parallel in the same direction as him with some medium distance in between, so it goes behind you and the head sideways boar tusk swipe can be jumped or outran if you ride anywhere but away from or towards him unless you have enough distance to begin with so he interrupts the attack. He's not that fucky, just on foot he is fucked if you don't use light roll or ashes of war since the hitboxes are huge. Cool concept but lame that you can't choose to fight on foot without it feeling like he's cheating with the roll-catches that visually shouldn't hit and feel unintuitive. also Lion and Relanna were harder imo, this guy just had to be learned and then execution was easy. Other bosses have way more changeable combos and heal interrupts and instant punishes based on button inputs and player distance. I dislike the Curseblades and yellow Horned Knights more than Gaius.

[@pvenzELP]

It worked !! Thank you. I was going to give up and come back way later , but now the mf is dead

[@getonWexford]

ahh….. i shouldn’t have used that remembrance….

[@daveshotchicken3]

I HAD TO USE THIS CHEESE. THE DLC IS NOT FRIENDLY TO MY SUPPOSEDLY OVERPOWERED CHARACTER

[@Ettoksib]

THANKS

[@Squidy22]

on ng+7 this boss is like not possible lol, i feel like his hitboxes all need to be fixed

[@sportybaby797]

Wait until you do mother of fingers on NG+7 your gonna hate that shit

[@UnKnOwN-kw1nx]

[@frosty8779]

He keeps getting out of the corner any tips??

[@bruhbruh-kv2rk]

How did you get there

[@coreylovell9210]

It was easier fighting the guy with rivers than this

[@michaelwilson7203]

Cheese always go as planned no I doesn't 😢

[@stevenw350]

NIHIL!

[@waterfowldance5734]

Thank you so much for this. Easily the dumbest boss in the game

[@Redcatlive007]

I get hit through the wall wtf

[@russellmuscle7434]

I just beat him without cheesing after 40 something tries

[@xifily1957]

i took the time to learn all his attack patterns and killed him no spirit summon on lvl 175. Took me about 5-7 hours. His charge is the most laughable attack no doubt.

[@HuzzaLoux]

Doesn't work for me. Idk why

[@mafia_qa723]

Just go back and forth between the 2 corners

[@jadjairoudi4761]

If you go back to the first wall stand in the middle of it, that worked for me if you go to the far right or left he wraps around the corner

[@HunchoDiff]

i love u

[@ieatmice751]

Thank you this worked perfectly Such a shitty boss lmao

[@bombthing]

How is this doofus a remembrance boss and Bayle isnt

[@sanguinraven5672]

Bayle is basically a remembrance boss, only you redeem his reward at the temple of communion and not at Roundtable - same two choices, but alas cannot be duplicated

[@Alexweber-u5l]

Doesnt work for me. He kills me through the wall

[@Alexweber-u5l]

And he runs around the Corner and Kills me

[@BeanThebandit]

Did they patch this, mf doesn’t want to stay in the spot😭

[@CoolHabdool]

I hope this boss gets nerfed

[@ZarousCurse]

Jesus Christ bless you man, all these bosses have made me not enjoy the dlc at all. Got every item from base and all achievements. But this dlc you can tell bro would never play his own game as he would die nonstop. Shits torture

[@talikajr]

Did they fucking patch this already? This is not working for me

[@letalmarsh]

Ma perché cazzo non funziona

[@DARKCRASUDER]

Honestly say this the first cheese method that i ever looked up and tried actually worked tha k you this guy sucks

[@zacharypfendner5207]

I hate this fight. Messmer was easier than him.

[@oofskye6019]

Boss design is miserable.

[@mikegroenenweg283]

Fuck everything about this boss

[@DevanLyons]

Tfffff I beat this man first try what are yalll doinnnnnnn

[@sjwhater]

What a cancer boss fight it was... This dlc is so annoying. Scadutree collectible bullshit is the only way to get powerful lmao. Everything one or two shots you on ng+1. Such a bullshit. How can you kill this stupid boss without a cheese and lets say you wanted to play a katana build

[@Featsofgrace]

Most garbage boss I’ve ever seen

[@flyingpotatoes9444]

Dont do this, it takes the triumph out of the game. It took me around 50 attempts but I finally killed him on my own. No summons, no stupid cheeses, not even any elements. Just get gud

[@seljuz]

I hear you but badly designed bosses, or bosses players dont enjoy fighting can be cheesed imo

[@aimanimran3010]

unlike you majority who play this game have a job and a life to spend time .. they don't want to waste 5 hour on 1 boss

[@flyingpotatoes9444]

@@aimanimran3010 this argument has been parroted so many time it's unreal. You can still get the achievement of beating something without a shitty glitch even if you have a job

[@Petti335HD1985]

Thank you very much my friend this is the best awesome commamder gauis cheese guide on youtube 🫶
