Strategy against Commander Gaius

Let’s see the best ways and methods to fight this boss:

This is a pretty agile boss, but he behaves like other mounted bosses we’ve seen, so it’s not entirely a surprise. It does little damage, this will be very hard, we will have to learn some attacks no matter what. His charge with the boar is fast but avoidable if we rollto the sides or forward.
- You have a lot of room to fight, do not stay near the wall or any wallit could lock you in and the battle would become more complicated.
- You can apply hemorrhage to this boss, just like posture breakAlthough it is not easy, you have to punish him a lot to achieve it.
When he falls to half life, he will be surrounded by a purple aura of gravitational magic.has just entered its second phase and with it gains a couple of new attacks.
Be careful with your gravitational jump, hits the ground and then picks it up in an area close to him, it can take a lot of life, but at least we will see it coming if we have it locked on. Also can summon spheres that attract usthey take little life from us, but it usually continues with a spear or projectile attackso the combo can be harmful.
Focus on dodging especially his enhanced spear attack and charge, punish him after combos and be careful not to spend too much time on his sides or behind, It also has a push to keep us away from it.
