Thanks for checking out the video!
This is my first Elden Ring “tutorial” video, so I hope you enjoy what I put out. This boss was an absolute nightmare for me and after quite a bit of trial and error I wanted to share a relatively easier way to beat this boss.
Hopefully this helps out a few players that also are going through it, and struggling to take this boss down.
I hope you enjoy the video!

I specd for a shield before the dlc came out. Such a good decision. Guard counters are awesome in the dlc
This is true, seems like a lot of bosses were more manageable with the guard countering and they added some cool stuff in the DLC for it specifically.
I did this with the fingerprint shield and the same hammer and you can basically script this boss if you know the Moveset. Used the turtle talisman 2, great jars arsenal, guard counter talisman and cragblade on the hammer
I like this build to, I don’t have cragblade for some reason on this character. I considered using royal knight resolve but having the shield doesn’t let you use it
@@Valhooli use fingerprint with No Skill ash
I did this very thing, a great shield, high poise, etc. He would just destroy my guard and dead. I’ve watched so many videos and I don’t get the same results. I’m not out of stamina, just strange. I did finally get him. Shirley boy with Moores armor came in a tanked the hell out of him.
I died a few times doing this strat, I think he has a few attacks that go around the shield, so I get it. Glad to hear you were able to get it down though!
Commander Gaius! Ice cream. I brought you some ice cream Commander Gaius.
As a mage I cheesed him. If you stick to the corners of the castle and equip carian sovereignty you can hit him through the wall. It takes a minute to get the set up right but i did it on my 2nd try. Lol
I know a lot of people had to do weird things to kill him. Gotta do what you gotta do
Also after you get the repost you have the time to get a charged R2 in for massive poise damage
Imma try this out
Let me know how it works for you, definitely a very different playstyle
Annoying to have to respec for a single boss, but it's looking like I might have to.
I was lucky I didnt have to fully respct to do this build, but hes pretty rough
Shouldn't have to respec in an rpg dlc.Anyone who says different is insane.
@@MrSwitchblade327 you dont HAVE to respec, but this boss is trivialized by a few builds. So if you struggle you can do so. But people are beating him with level 1, and other stuff so hes learnable.
Shields are soooo good in the dlc
Nice vid
Thanks! glad you liked it
Dumb question but how were you able to block so much including the charge attack? I was using a max upgraded blacksteel great shield and it wasn’t doing much at all. Is it because I need the no skill ash of war to hold down L2? Sorry I never use shields so I’m a noob with this information lol
I wont pretend to be an expert at using shields but ill try my best. Blacksteel great shield should be a good shield for this boss as it has high physical negation. I would first make sure you have the required stats to use the shield, but I assume you do. On top of that when you block depending on the damage you take it consumes stamina, so make sure you arent getting stamina stagger busted.
Also I assume you are using a controller, to guard/block with a controller its not L2 to block it would be L1 on Playstation or LB for xbox. I hope this helps, but if it doesnt try finding a regular enemy to test blocking on first before going back in.
@@Valhooli yeah I was using L1 to block and the charge move would just knock me over, weird
@@squibby4410 The only time I would ever get knocked over from something like this is if I wasnt holding block all the way through of it was consuming all my stamina
No lie I’ve been watching video after video but I finnaly beat him after just attack attack get attacked heal twice repeat, it’s a pretty trash boss fight either way tho
He is by no means my favorite, but the more ive done him the less I hate him. Hes certainly not great but other than his charge attack hes manageable.
