Yet another thread complaining about Gaius

[Goro]

i understand i need to get better and all, but this fight is very annoying.
fighting the "intended" way with torrent feels more like a punishment, since everything kills the horse in 1 hit, and with that, also kills you in 1 hit.

I'm with you. This is without doubt the worst Fromsoft boss. It gets the cake. It's worse than this snow field and its boss in DS2 imo. I'm getting one tapped with and without torrent. They have to fix this. Level 10 dlc blessings btw, NG+.

Dont waste your time, fromsoft diehard fanboys will just tell you git gud.

Yep its DS2 level of boss quality. Aggros the second you enter the fog wall giving you a 1.5 second react window everything 1 shots horse, no time to use flask without getting punished, 2nd phase is just more spam but more AoE moves. Just unfun and frustrating like alot of these bosses in this DLC.

Either the boss is too big for its tiny arena and so your camera is inside their body and your guessing what moves they are doing for the most part (Dancing lion/Hippo). Or the boss just isn't fun to fight and tries too hard to be the next malenia but without being able to get staggered on hit which made the malenia fight fair and enjoyable this just feels cheap and unfun (Rellana).

DS3 is the best example of challenging but fun boss designs look at Champion Gundyr that's such a great example of aggressive but fair and fun to fight.
