(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.

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...

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

Hogrider

Yeah, trying to melee Gaius is cancer. But I'm running an Int/Dex build, so I summoned Taylew and spammed Comet when he wasn't attacking me.

Use holy or bleed, also summon the 4 guys with the shields. They take all the agro and you can heal them with spells. Then just shoot him with bleed/holy

Nature is beautiful :,)

Use the guard absorption talisman and get your blessing up wickedly high. By that point i had like… 68, 70 percent physical reduction, so eating the damage wasn’t too bad but blocking it was better

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.

We love you Miyazaki!!!❤❤❤🎉😂

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.

Same experience

You know I actually had a fun time fighting this goofy albinuric

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.

This dlc repeatedly shows the benefits of a greatshield you do the backflip on his charge and don’t lose tons of stamina. Scadutree blast did literally no damage after it had previously 1 shotted me. Flame knights stagger on each riposte and do little tick damage.
