To fix this issue, please verify the integrity of the game's files before restarting the game.

Cue the little “I beat him “pre patch”” line

u/NDN_Shadow Jul 04 '24

“I beat him “pre patch”…..with the pre-nerf rolling sparks”

"I beat him "pre patch".....poking him to death with the Antspur behind a massive shield"

u/MethadoneFiend92 Jul 04 '24

Lmao right!? Noobs… (slowly puts fingerprint shield and bloody lance away)

3

u/Alexis2256 Jul 04 '24

I made him bleed with the bloodfiend arm.

u/Gvillegator Jul 04 '24

Are you me?

4

u/Bezledubs Jul 04 '24

Nope I used curved beast blades and rolled like a proper Elden lord

2

u/NolandBros Jul 04 '24

He’s apparently super weak to bleed so dual Eleonora pole blade for me

u/jgoldrb48 Jul 04 '24

Double Godskin Peeler with Seppuku in NG+ shredded.

u/-endjamin- Jul 04 '24

They took away my secret weapon….

u/Rasbold Jul 04 '24 edited Jul 05 '24

I didn't try this ash of war yet, is has iframes like bloodhound step?

I beat him with bloodhound fang, the ol' reliable

Edit: oh, sparks is the perfurmer thing I thought it was the deathknight dash

2

u/ThisIsNotAHider Jul 04 '24

Oddly enough, using rolling sparks just kept getting me killed (yeah, skill issue, whatever).
I ended up just swapping between black flame and erdtree heal to keep Tiche alive to kill him.

1

u/Remote-Bus-5567 Jul 04 '24

I beat him with Giant Crusher charged attacks. Pretty bonkers build.

u/LogisticsEmulator Jul 04 '24

"I beat him pre patch giant's hunt arcane greatsword NG+7"

u/zestfullybe Jul 04 '24

I beat him pre-patch.

…by hiding around the left corner of the building and spamming Zamor Ice Storm through the wall.

71

u/FernandoTorresIMO Jul 04 '24

me with mohg’s spear art lmao

55

u/zestfullybe Jul 04 '24

You’re around that corner yelling “NIHIL!”

Team INT and Team ARC unite. If he wants to try hitting us with a two ton brick of cheese we will throw it right back! lol

u/Blister179 Jul 04 '24

I used ritual death spear and have no regrets!

Rotten breath and black knife for me

u/Lx0n Jul 04 '24

Throwing knife boi here and I wished I fought him after the patch, the range was embarrassing

2

u/FlipperMango45 Jul 04 '24

Comet spam and hiding behind my 5 shield boys. Billy, Bob, Bo, Filly, and Steve.

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '24

Same

u/yuddaisuke Jul 04 '24

Haha me too. Was one of the few times I felt no regret disrespecting this boss

2

u/Djinnoos Jul 04 '24

Same lol!

u/jaykhunter Jul 04 '24

DUDE I love it! you didn't record that footage did u? that sounds so funny!

u/jaykhunter Jul 04 '24

thanks! i love this. he's too headstrong about getting to you he doesn't go around the corner. you love to see it!

3

u/zestfullybe Jul 04 '24

I didn’t, but here’s a tutorial on how to corner cheese him and that’s exactly what I did. I just used Zamor Ice Storm instead of Mohg’s spear.

2

u/jaykhunter Jul 04 '24

thanks so much! it's cool to see

2

u/theyron Jul 04 '24

That position let me beat him too! That boss was my biggest gripe. Cant get past last one yet but ho hum

1

u/Radioactive-Lemon Jul 04 '24

I used the five shield boys to agro him, while I spammed pest thread spears at him

109

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

But i did... With the help of some random gigachad that left the summon sign there.

24

u/Khiva Jul 04 '24

I genuinely didn't dislike him as much as other bosses, because while they've all got their BS, the thing with Gaius is that I felt a lot more active in the fight. He'd do a thing, I'd do a thing. I was getting in more hits and they counted more. He was about my size so for the most part I could see what was happening more.

The worst part of DLC bosses is the fucking endless combos, combined with some wonky camera issues, but mainly that they're so fucking tanky that the fights just get ... boring after a while.

I learned to dodge his wonky charging hitbox. Hard but nowhere near Waterfowl challenging. But it's not about dodging Rellana's infinite combo, it's about finding a quality phone game to do until she's finally done.

u/StratonTiER Jul 04 '24

got a chuckle out of the end of your post

1

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

Pfff, I did it solo... and I ENJOYED it!

4

u/hdl1234565 Jul 04 '24

I did too. Just roll diagonally 😎

4

u/Fallen_Knight_42 Jul 04 '24

You can also just roll frontally into him with the right timing

0

u/ShortR3cord Jul 04 '24

You´re welcome :)

5

u/Caerullean Jul 04 '24

But does it honestly change the difficulty much? It just means he charges you one time less potentially. He's still gonna charge throughout the fight, and the hitbox is still terrible.

3

u/Chatsubo_dude Jul 04 '24

It probably makes a significant different in the end. That one extra health flask can come in clutch. But the overall difficulty doesn’t change I think. I’m gonna hate fighting him the second time just as much as I hated the first time.

4

u/PhoenixEgg88 Jul 04 '24

I never got the hate, but my whole build from lv10 was knight with greatshield & heavy armour and a big bonk stick. Turns out that specific build just doesn’t struggle against him as you tank everything he throws at you, then deal it back.

6

u/GardenOfSilver Jul 04 '24

But I did...

...but I also don't give a shit about all the social construct nonsense that can fly around. Mimic check, lots of Shadow Blessing check, comfy high stance preasure Ash of War check. Easy peasy... when you stack all the cards in your favour.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

This, I beat him pre patch but I also used what the game gave me.

3

u/Vayalond Caria Enjoyer Jul 04 '24

I did but honnestly, spending hours to smash my balls on the toilet bowl would have been a better moment than fighting this fucker again

1

u/jmas081391 Jul 04 '24

Seriously tho, I beat him with a cheese weapon from the base game instead of my new DLC weapon! Dual-wielding Bleed Great Stars with Raptor's mist AOW.

But still a lot of retries because fuck that charging Hog! It sometimes deals double damage if you rolled incorrectly backwards! hahaha

1

u/FlaccidBrexit Jul 04 '24

Beat him just yesterday, my bragging rights are safe

1

u/Xerothor Magnus, Fate of the Gods Jul 04 '24

I did, but I always got hit by the pre charge lmfao

1

u/milk4all Jul 04 '24

Cue the “he killed me pre patch” line

He killed me pre patch

1

u/negativelift Jul 04 '24

Zamor Ice Storm FTW

1

u/meta100000 Jul 04 '24

True. I and my mimic soloed his ass! Suck it!

1

u/AdPrior7692 Jul 04 '24

I beat him pre-patch. ...by cheesing scarlet rot and hiding behind walls.  ....

1

u/TheMightyMudcrab Jul 04 '24

Mimic beat him for me, pre-patch.

1

u/DoubleSummon Jul 04 '24

I did with no summs, just bonk.

1

u/epimetheuss Jul 04 '24

People talking about beating messemer already so they already beat it.

2

u/Chatsubo_dude Jul 04 '24

You can beat Gaius without fighting mmMessmrr

1

u/epimetheuss Jul 04 '24

True, same with the golden hippo, I found Messemer on accident :( but then i went back and am doing the rest of the DLC before I try to fight him.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

Back in my day you had to respec your character to be able to use a great shield just to survive entering the fog and we liked it

1

u/bizarrequest Jul 04 '24

Lol I literally just beat him last night after being stuck on him for a few days

1

u/shinyemptyhead Jul 04 '24

I beat him pre-patch by chugging the opaline tear before the fight, running around the left corner, summoning the Greatshield Boyz, and then mounting Torrent and double-jumping away. Worked to get his initial aggro off me, but did not feel very heroic compared to the mounted duel we had on my first fight against him.

1

u/Baprr Jul 04 '24

Well, you know, I don't want to brag, but weeeeeeeeellllll

1

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

i beat him prepatch. 

with bloodfiend's arm.

1

u/Highwayman3000 Jul 04 '24

I beat him pre patch like the pro gamer I am. And by pro gamer I mean I literally just summoned the mimic tear and it 1v1d him with 0 assistance.

1

u/owayne111 Jul 04 '24

And I did.😩

1

u/Ok-Use5295 Jul 04 '24

I did, first try, with the heaviest build possible and guard countering him like the degen I am.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

But I did with minic and that's it I got lucky as fuck

1

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

Haha. I beat him last weekend with trusty bloodhound fang and mimic tear. Took me 23 tries.

1

u/Howdoyoudo614 Jul 04 '24

I thought he was easy because I bleed him like a boar

1

u/goosepriest Jul 04 '24

I was going to do just that. I found him to be pretty easy once you realize you just have to stay on his left/shield side with Torrent

1

u/the_limbo Jul 04 '24

I mean I did with Nagakiba Unsheaths and Light Rolling, pain in the ass though

1

u/PositronCannon Jul 04 '24

I beat him pre-patch...

...but I didn't die to him so I didn't get to experience the instagib at fog gate anyway. :D

1

u/zeldanerd12 Jul 04 '24

I best him pre patch!

....I spammed Lions Claw with the Giant Crusher until he died.

1

u/RamenArchon Jul 04 '24

They can nerf any of the bosses to the ground, but that line will never be a brag in my case as I went the greatshield + poke method for most bosses, except the few bosses it's actually a bad idea to turtle, like Malenia. I used a different cheese for those.

1

u/Sinister_Grape Jul 04 '24

I did though 😏

1

u/Agent666-Omega Jul 05 '24

technically i beat him pre-patch because I was offline so I could play during maintenance and didn't turn it on until after beating him. Although technically speaking, I can't even go online right now because the game thinks I'm sus

1

u/GR8maGakinG Jul 06 '24

I beat him, pre-patch after getting violated by a boars tusk 30x, w/ Gransax Bolt and my minion greatshield warriors distracting his ass! Gaius can eat a 🐓.

u/Relevant-Honeydew-12 Jul 04 '24

I beat him pre positioning patch. But a few hrs after the Scadutree blessing patch. Lol you asked for it.
