"you're in your 40's, you've been gaming your whole life, you do this for a living. How do you not understand hitboxes?" As a 38 year old who's been gaming his whole life and has worked in gaming for 10 years. I don't know how he doesn't either, I had a bit of trouble on this boss myself, but it was mostly because I couldn't get the timing down on the barrage attack (Also I was sick as hell). But he does remind me of a friend of mine, who is 40 and has the same type of criticism when they themselves lack the ability to think critically about problems they face. The second there is some form of pushback "This is so boring." "All you do is do X" "It's so dumb they don't let you do Y" When It's almost always his inability to adapt. And often the "They don't let you do Y" is almost always "You never even tried to see if they do or don't." It's depressing, man. I'm getting older, I don't wanna be like this.
Good news is, it’s not an age thing. If Elden ring came out when dsp was a teen he would be the same. it’s just like you said, he refuses to think critically

Working in the industry? Man, you're living the dream! Which part of it: coder, visual artist, actor, something else? I think part of avoiding what I call "becoming a man of a certain age" is self-awareness, and it seems like you have that. So, you can choose *not* to become like these people.

Bruh I beat him on my first attempt on my faith build by using pyro. Melted him. Then on my dex I used fire grease. Melted him. What I didn’t do is use fucking holy damage on a boss who attacks with fucking holy damage. People are so stupid it’s scary.
That's probably the easiest main boss on the game and he gets pummeled. Dude uses a massive shield, probably has his shadow blessing maxed out and still sucks.

Phil's guide to bosses 1. Cheese 2. Face tank 3. Grind and try to face tank 3a. If a guide comes out to cheese during grinding, try the boss again while denying you saw a guide 4. Play the boss enough times that the ai gives up 5. Actually learn patterns and win Most importantly, never stop complaining! Start with how it's unfair that boss uses a move you've never seen before (even though it's your first time at the boss), move on to lag/ delayed input, then end with how it's boring and you don't want to do this.
He ain't lying about frame drops in that boss fight, it seems to be the worst of them for frame drops with everything going on in the fight. But some people want to suck off FromSoft so badly its probably OK that their response to the poor performance is the players fault disable things on your PC or restart your PS5 in safe mode and rebuild the data base. I love FromSoft games but damn their cuckboys are insufferable cancer who love to ignore basic problems
I don't know, but on my old ps4 pro, specifically the attacks that spawned the roots dropped frames very clearly, not enough to be unplayable but enough to anoy me, but he's the only boss to do that so far (note that my ps4 sounds like it's permanently trying to take flight so it may just be getting old)
Instead of admitting that they’re bad at the game they sit there and complain. It’s almost like every single streamer that plays Elden Ring is so owned so badly that the only thing they can do is dog on the game to make them feel better about the fact that they suck. Although in general, I don’t know much about this DSP guy other than he’s an absolute creeper.
Possibly Unpopular Opinion (?): Commander Gaius is undoubtedly pretty tough, with crazy hitboxes and so many punishes (horseback, roll and jump punishes galore) but I actually think he’s one of the most learnable and ultimately satisfying bosses. Once you get down the muscle memory of what angle to roll diagonally and at what moment, dodging his charge actually becomes fairly consistent. And when you stop trying to do the whole fight on horseback and start only sparingly and strategically using Torrent to close distances, run out of AOEs, and get dismount I-frames before he can dismount you himself, it becomes a really fun and rewarding fight (IMO).
The trick I learned with him the hard way which actually works on a lot of aggressive enemies is to roll into and slightly to their side especially during flurry attacks. I'm sure most of you know this but it's helpful, worked good with messamer too. I always forget with new games and roll away or to the side and get swiped
Once I figured him out it didn't take long. Dude was absolutely railing me before that though. I switched out my mimic tear summon for the shield boys, then did my best to keep them alive until the second phase, then let them agro and swoop in for a few hits, and repeat. I was running powerstanced greatswords focused on status effects. In certain circumstances the cheap summons can be better than the mimic tear!
@@memoryofsalem4474 If by “weird” you mean it’s disconnected from the actual animation you see, that’s a great point. I can dodge it like 90% of the time now, but that’s only because I taught myself to go by some arbitrary timing rather than watching his animation, and I can totally understand why that’s so confusing and disorienting to so many players. And these games are built on the premise of being able to learn how to counter an enemy’s moveset just by watching their animations, after all. *TL;DR:* His charge could use some adjusting, not to make it easier, but just to make it more learnable through observation and in line with what you see in the animation.
he has enough faith to use golden vow but chooses to use holy damage and then just goes straight from grace to fog rawstyle w no buffs this man needs to be institutionalized
Im not against people using this kind of build what ever you find fun you find fun, having fun is the win condition of the game to me, hell to me if you had fun i think you won without even finishing the game, but to bitch that a build YOU chose to use and call the game boring is the height of ignorance
Here's a thought DSP, maybe just change up the build??? if i can beat this boss (used a shield btw) this idiot can too, that's the beauty of elden ring.
I will say, it's not "cheesing" to fight it with a great shield. Yes it's brain dead, but not cheesing. Cheesing would have been if he used the perfumer's bottles to like 2 or 3 shot the boss, but blocking and counter attacking aren't cheesing. That being said DSP just really needs to learn, and adapt, they gave us more larval tears for a reason. I think I changed my build around a lot through the DLC including a great shield but it just didn't feel fun.
@@joshprimegaming yeah agreed, although I'm a mage player so I don't really have room to speak with the "cheese" i had before the dlc with the unlimited fp physick that got nerfed
@@elcrow113 oh that's fine, but we are talking about just kitting the bosses attacks the whole time and only using the counter attack after a hit. Using a great shield isn't bad.
He doesn't have to wear heavy armor and equip the fingerprint great shield. The fingerprint great shield will tank anything. His heavy armor "build" is as useless as t I t z on a bull while using the fingerprint great shield.
I personally don't understand when people complain about these "big" bosses. Sure, the camera can be a little jank, but that's if you're locked on to the head usually and hanging out underneath them. The head will definitely screw the camera. But bosses like this usually just present you their head (their weakest spot) if you're just a little patient and dodge some attacks. Scadutree Avatar is one of the biggest offenders of this, almost every melee attack he does, his head is presented to you afterward. Though I don't understand why this guy can't fathom the fact of, "maybe his long arms will make it hard/impossible to hit his head with a counter attack". lol. I'll also say, this boss has only 1 real annoying attack to dodge imo, that being the 3 ranged vines that chase you (which he really only does if you're too far away). Also, fuck DSP
I didn't think my poison footwork would be able to poison it, it being a plant and all. But it actually is pretty easy to poison. Still ended up using fire in the end to beat it. I really loved this boss. Very interesting and unusual boss. Looks badass too.
I know the boss is annoying. I get it. He whooped me a few times.. but come on! Seriously why does he insist on using a holy weapon on a boss that does holy damage?! Do fire weapons ever occur to him?! Edit: I don’t see an issue with him using a guard counter setup. Tanking bosses is a viable strategy.
With his shield poke strategy he might actually do it- that's how I did it. I had to get the game beat though, I had no more time to play it otherwise I'd have soldiered through with my Claymore/Flamberge powerstance build. I only used the shield poke on radahn/messmer- rest of the game I didn't cheese anything. I was on a timer though. Now it'll be a few Months before I can get into another game again :( I took a Week off of work just for this and it was a lot of fun! Kinda sucks getting back to work but I enjoy the work so it's not so bad.
That's odd... I never experienced any frame drops when that boss would attack. I had a hell of a time fighting the shadowtree(scadutree) avatar, but I modified my tactics and overcame it after several deaths 😅. I never blamed the game itself, I knew it was my fault. I had to learn the attack pattern and adjust to what it's openings were.
I've only just found this channel, so I gotta ask: Have you done videos addressing DSP forays into fighting games? I use that delicious salt to season my eggs.
@@joshprimegaming I don't know much about them either, but the salt is something to behold.

Even if you just watch them in private, I'm certain they'll bring you a lot of joy.
@@SlumericanXX thanks man i just see people calling it the asmon build or the journalist build (I was using str/int build up until that fight and realized i needed to change tactics. But thank you for the comforting words

There's only stunning between phases lol If he was actually attacking the buds of the flower instead of the stem perhaps he would've killed the thing lol
I used mesmers spear with this guy and it was super easy. Use mimic with blasphemous blade and no skill sheald and u use mesmer spear with no skill sheald.
It's pretty fucking weak to fire damage. Just use flame strike with a fire infusion, and summon a sprite ash that does fire damage. It's a pretty fun fight when you use the tools the game gives you.
He clearly has no ability to think for himself, complains that he can’t dodge the boss’s magic attacks (whilst fat rolling) and can’t block it?? Dude there’s greatshields with high holy negation and a damn talisman that raises non physical negation whilst blocking. He can’t even adapt his build to do what his build would be good at doing.
Crying about “it’s so boring” when your whole build is mindlessly block then hit R2, even when the boss is swinging in your face, is insane. I’m a kindergarten teacher and this is a common strategy for 5 year olds when they try something new and difficult. Funny thing is that they bounce back pretty quick. The fact that this guy is 40 years old and blames the game every time he dies is unfathomable
I find it funny... then again I also find his struggling using a brainless build without even thinking to try anything else amusing as well... and using a damage type the boss uses and thus takes 20% LESS of... with DSP maybe not even having gathered the fragments to upgrade...
Honestly, I’m just amazed that he’s still relevant in this day and age. Wonder if he’s still waiting on his parents to die so he can try to take the house?
The Scadutree Avatar is so easy though. Just get a strong fire weapon and it's GGs since he takes 40% more fire damage. He can still use his low iq build, he just needs to change the element of his weapon.
The only time when I used this dookie build was when I was fighting peak radahn, but that was it, I was straight cooking with two katanas, dsp is actual dogshit at this game 💀💀💀💀
It's a plant, a literal plant. A plant I beat in two tries, how the hell can't someone beat this plant? It's literally the easiest boss in the dlc! (if anyone takes offence to this please find me in the mausoleum right near the start of the dlc.)
Nothing wrong with dying in Elden Ring. It is his seemingly bottomless capacity to keep doing the same exact thing over and over hoping that rng will allow him to win that I find amazing. I remember when he “beat” Melania, and he never varied in the slightest. A pathetic thing to watch.
My one thought AIM FOR THE STALK like Jesus worried about hitting it and then aims for the hardest to hit part of the boss I run a similar build I had little trouble fair enough I used my mans mimic tears but still it was a boss fight
Get the shield boy summons out, let them agro, then swoop in to do the real damage. Try to keep your boys alive for the second phase. Once I switched from the mimic tear to the cheap old shield boys it only took a few tries. I guess if you don't play with summons that wouldn't work. It was probably the least enjoyable boss but it was still fun for me. And this tree thing he's fighting- for me that was one of the most fun fights! And I was powerstancing greatswords. DSP just doesn't know how to play the game.
Bruh… I beat Scadutree Avatar waaaaay easier than Gaius & mind you I use a Belmont inspired build so whip focused… I made the game a challenge cause to me that’s what makes these games fun.
I mean i will never Defend Brain dead Phil. But I think The Scadutree avatar is a trash boss. 😅 watching him beg for money and lose so bad to his playthrough of this dlc, has been a true delight 😂

That's odd... I never experienced any frame drops when that boss would attack. I had a hell of a time fighting the shadowtree(scadutree) avatar, but I modified my tactics and overcame it after several deaths 😅. I never blamed the game itself, I knew it was my fault. I had to learn the attack pattern and adjust to what it's openings were.
For Scadutree Avatar, i found it easier to keep medium distance to bait attacks and jump + L1 the head (i was power stancing katanas)
literally the easiest boss in the whole dlc like BROOOOO HOW THIS MAN EVEN ALIVEEEE!!!! F the system that keeps this kind of organism alive
Commander Gaius charge is dodged by rolling exactly left/right by 90 degrees.
Can't have any backwards or forwards motion.
The real hardest boss in the dlc is that run to the leda fight w those staircase mages
do you know you can sekiro diflect gius's charge attack with the diflection tear?
made him a really fun fight.
Didnt think about that, I just stayed close so he never went for it
I just used the giant fire candlestick and cooked myself some sunflower 😂😂😂
Only 1 minute and 27 seconds in and bro does not know what dodging is💀
It's like using firetype attacks on a Charizard lmao , Phil's stupidity never fails to amaze man
I played through the dlc blind in ng+7 and the scadutree avatar is by far the easiest remembrance boss
Complaining that the physics engine is bad because he got stuck on a tree 😂😂😂
I didn’t have frame drops on old gen Xbox, I don’t know if he’s on pc or not but yeah my old gen Xbox performed pretty good
I cant dodge it and shield it! Buddy have you ever tried to running in a big boss area? 😂
I beat Scadutree Avatar with Bolt of Gransax blasting him in the face and Mimic Tear
I've only just found this channel, so I gotta ask: Have you done videos addressing DSP forays into fighting games?
I use that delicious salt to season my eggs.
LOL nah i stick to soulslikes, i dont know much about fighting games
@@joshprimegaming I don't know much about them either, but the salt is something to behold.
I'd recommend the channels "DSP Tries It - Memology 101" and "Ludwig World Order", if you haven't seen them already. They give me the most laughs. Even if you just watch them in private, I'm certain they'll bring you a lot of joy.
“It’s sooooo boring”
Spends hours on it…
9:01 doesn't even try to do anything, just stands there and dies, he's so shit at this game lmao😂
"It's super boring. All it does is giant attacks" DPS is super boring. All he does is hold up a shield and cry about it when the bosses don't let him.
Commander gaius charge attack is fine josh. Just Dodge diagonally towards the charge. It works every time it's just precise
Scadutree avatar is a peak boss
He did these fights without a spirit summon which is more than I can do, it gets me through that’s it’s always someone or something else’s fault.
He uses an extremely overpowered build, possibly more op than summons. Either way he's probably worse than you.
I feel like a failure now because I used shield and big bonk on radahn
You’re not. The idea that you’re not allowed to block an attack is just nonsense. If his health hit 0, you won. Good job
@@SlumericanXX thanks man i just see people calling it the asmon build or the journalist build (I was using str/int build up until that fight and realized i needed to change tactics. But thank you for the comforting words
Play the way you wanna play, personally for me i find it less fun but yeah don’t feel down just play the way that makes you comfortable
@@_bo7o i mean I'm not shooting for sympathy points at all I'll never be a pro but I definitely don't want to feel compared to the people who whine complain and fine the most half assed builds idk maybe it's a complex I'm not wanting to accept but thank you very much for your words I really appreciate it
it's a good build that's all that matters @@noobsaibot0008
There's only stunning between phases lol
If he was actually attacking the buds of the flower instead of the stem perhaps he would've killed the thing lol
Why would you hot the vibes anyway? The head is always more easily available
I believe he kept the same basic strategy but went to 🔥
This dude is the Debbie Downer of gamers, when he fails it's everyone else's fault.
Do you think that this guy would play Devil May Cry and say I can’t find new weapons
I used mesmers spear with this guy and it was super easy. Use mimic with blasphemous blade and no skill sheald and u use mesmer spear with no skill sheald.
It's pretty fucking weak to fire damage. Just use flame strike with a fire infusion, and summon a sprite ash that does fire damage. It's a pretty fun fight when you use the tools the game gives you.
He clearly has no ability to think for himself, complains that he can’t dodge the boss’s magic attacks (whilst fat rolling) and can’t block it?? Dude there’s greatshields with high holy negation and a damn talisman that raises non physical negation whilst blocking. He can’t even adapt his build to do what his build would be good at doing.
The only thing I don't like is that they re used the same enemies in areas and i was like wtf?
Crying about “it’s so boring” when your whole build is mindlessly block then hit R2, even when the boss is swinging in your face, is insane. I’m a kindergarten teacher and this is a common strategy for 5 year olds when they try something new and difficult. Funny thing is that they bounce back pretty quick. The fact that this guy is 40 years old and blames the game every time he dies is unfathomable
Its physically painful watching him cry so hard
I find it funny... then again I also find his struggling using a brainless build without even thinking to try anything else amusing as well... and using a damage type the boss uses and thus takes 20% LESS of... with DSP maybe not even having gathered the fragments to upgrade...
I was joking around that boss and beat it in my first time. This was the easiest boss for me so far
Honestly, I’m just amazed that he’s still relevant in this day and age. Wonder if he’s still waiting on his parents to die so he can try to take the house?
lol he is trying guard counter against boss
These tree style enemies duuude!
I got to admit though scutatree avatar was a god damn knightmare ,i had to keep going back to it . Hated that boss
He didn’t roll once during that fight and he was whining when he got hit. I think I might know why he’s getting hit.
He’s been consistently horrific at all FromSoft games.
The Scadutree Avatar is so easy though. Just get a strong fire weapon and it's GGs since he takes 40% more fire damage. He can still use his low iq build, he just needs to change the element of his weapon.
The only time when I used this dookie build was when I was fighting peak radahn, but that was it, I was straight cooking with two katanas, dsp is actual dogshit at this game 💀💀💀💀
It's a plant, a literal plant. A plant I beat in two tries, how the hell can't someone beat this plant? It's literally the easiest boss in the dlc! (if anyone takes offence to this please find me in the mausoleum right near the start of the dlc.)
Nothing wrong with dying in Elden Ring. It is his seemingly bottomless capacity to keep doing the same exact thing over and over hoping that rng will allow him to win that I find amazing. I remember when he “beat” Melania, and he never varied in the slightest. A pathetic thing to watch.
My one thought AIM FOR THE STALK like Jesus worried about hitting it and then aims for the hardest to hit part of the boss I run a similar build I had little trouble fair enough I used my mans mimic tears but still it was a boss fight
Only hacks and casuals use shields, cheese builds and summons or farm and over level beyond natural progression
This whole game was laggy for me on ps4. I thought it ran perfect on ps5…
5:34 people keep fighting me on that one. Gaius is broken af.
Get the shield boy summons out, let them agro, then swoop in to do the real damage. Try to keep your boys alive for the second phase. Once I switched from the mimic tear to the cheap old shield boys it only took a few tries. I guess if you don't play with summons that wouldn't work. It was probably the least enjoyable boss but it was still fun for me. And this tree thing he's fighting- for me that was one of the most fun fights! And I was powerstancing greatswords. DSP just doesn't know how to play the game.
He is really bad at elden ring! Learn to adapt! Learn to change up your build and weapons. Plus he complaines none stop wow .
That greatshield build will work for most things but it’s so boring
Of all the bosses to complain about, giant sunflower? Really?
Bruh… I beat Scadutree Avatar waaaaay easier than Gaius & mind you I use a Belmont inspired build so whip focused… I made the game a challenge cause to me that’s what makes these games fun.
If it’s “so boring”, then GO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE!
I mean i will never Defend Brain dead Phil. But I think The Scadutree avatar is a trash boss. 😅 watching him beg for money and lose so bad to his playthrough of this dlc, has been a true delight 😂
Getting comboed with precission by regular mobs by the dinner table, made me laugh so hard 😅 beggar nbuild
