Elden Ring Fan's six-year-old captures Gaius Boss fight punishing in drawing
Fans thought Commander Gaius was a good example of Shadow of the Erdtrees progression system, which divided players due to the new features Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ash. However, Redditors wanted the six-year-old's drawing to be exemplified in a different way, calling the artwork “fridge material.” Other users accused the poster of drawing the battle themselves as a joke, and many felt the sketch was inaccurate as no Tarnished managed to make it halfway through the fight without taking any damage. Additionally, more fans felt that the essence of Gaius' Sword Lance was perfectly captured.
Commander Gaius hails from Shadow of the Erdtree expansion and has Legend boss status. Renowned for being a considerable warrior and military strategist, the Chief also studied gravity magic from an Alabaster Lord alongside the demigod Radahn and later befriended Messmer the Impaler. Belonging to the Albinauric faction, Gaius can be found lurking Fire Ring's Shadow Keep clad in black iron armor, and Tarnished will be rewarded with the Remembrance of the Wild Boar Rider consumable plus 230,000 runes after defeating him.
