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)

[@edinonjunio]

@swift7842 The charge CAN be consistently dodged with just medium load for sure! Been doing it most of time when helping people in coop. But make sure to put the Opaline Hardtear in your Flask of Wondrous Physick, so in case you fail the dodge, it will save you.

Miyazaki went full fucking anime with some of these enemies and bosses. Very cool and flashy, if only my character wasn't moving like a rheumatic snail.

[@ni9274]

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.

[@ni9274]

@@Crichjo32 It doesn't take 5 years, you're supposed to find openings to heal not just mindlessly spam the heal button every time you take damage. Also none of the bosses move that fast, the vast majority of their attack are reactable and avoidable

[@ni9274]

@@portalmanHUN This is how souls games always worked, Artorias of the Abyss in DS1 can do triple back flip, leap across the entire arena, do a double frontflip into an attack, can input read when the player is healing, has a anime powerup moement, is literally inspired from a manga character, can charge at high speed, has delayed attacks... Bosses in souls games were always full anime, they were always "cool and flashy" and always outmatched the speed of the player character. Also the speed of the player character has vastly increased in Elden Ring, you have light roll, you recover faster from attack, you can jump to cover more distance and to get i-frames, you have access to attack that can close gap, you also have "anime" attack, you have tons of i-frame AOW, you have guard counter, you heal faster...

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.
