In this short vid, I effortlessly crush Commander Gaius w/o flasking. Wow! this DLC is so hard!

[BKo]

No one cares. There's no reason you should randomly take double damage.

[Fenix]

Those hitboxes are still BS
And I beat him on the 5th try.

[Ω Arkandor]

the boss is beatable, yeah. The hitbox is still bad.

[Mehermagerk]

No ones cares you killed him most people have it is still a BS fight that's not fun not as bad as the last boss but still not fun.

Is it really a BS fight when I effortlessly kill him w/o needing to heal? Seems easy. I have a hard time believing everyone complaining has tried to block an attack. Roll queens sad!

You used a shield he is easy if you use a shield all the bosses in this DLC are easy if you use a shield for the other 50% of players who don't use a shield his boss fight is cancer.

The primates are beginning to use tools, what a sensation.

[Fenix]

I just just watched the video... you used that dueling shield... yeah no wonder you didn't have a hard time with him, I didn't use a shield... I was two handing my Ancient Meteoric Greatsword... no shield... still beat him, after five tries

Wowww! Now you're getting it! None of us want to hear you guys cry when you refuse to use mechanics. This is a bad mental model where rolling = purism & skill, when rollfesting only became a thing in DS3. Sorry you guys have to have an iota of pushback

[Mehermagerk]

Go try a Two handed build or a caster build to fight that boss it's night and day compared to shield guard counter build i have beat the DLC on three characters all those builds my tank character I one shot most the boss fights that i died 20+ times on using a build without a shield.

[Midnight]

I mean the charge hitbox is kinda busted. It's pretty inconsistent to dodge.

And it gets broken with latency. In coop play since this game is so laggy the charge hitbox is magically fixed and I can dodge it every time just fine.

You should not need to reroll your build you beat the base game with to beat 3 ♥♥♥♥ boss fights in the DLC.

That is bad boss design if it makes life hell for 50% of the players just because there build doesn't use a shield that can tank hits it's not a skill issue anymore just bad boss design.

Mmm yes, that's my point. "Two handed build." What is that? You're calling a refusal to press a button a build? Casters can't have defensive equipment? Wew.

[Aradner]

Just because you found a way to easily kill him doesn't mean he isn't literally mechanically broken genius. His hitboxes straight up work wrong, which makes him, by definition, broken.

I am going to start complaining that 'sheep roll ash of war light armor damage talisman builds' are not viable when fighting the Elden Beast.
