He isn't very difficulty and complex Boss, which is why he appeals to so many people and you will basically never see anyone saying "I don't like Gael". He is very accessible Boss that you can make a little harder on some challenges, if you want.

I usually play him on challenge runs and he can be difficult b/c of the length of the fight and the ease of slipping up once especially in phase 2 and 3

Journey 5; 50 in strength, dex, and int

His stagger duration is just long enough to get an extra r1 in but he wasn’t capitalizing on it for some reason.

​​@@rigorm136 probably because he could run out of stamina (DS3 stamina system isn't anywhere near forgiving as Elden Ring) and Gael very often does quick swing right after stagger, or he was too far from Gael. I still think he should have much longer duration of stagger, just like Dancer, Pontiff, Gundyr or Dragonslayer Armour for instance.

@@suchar7175 I’ve never had trouble with stamina in ds3. He just simply put wasn’t pressing r1 often enough or he was brainlessly spamming the weapon art on the twin princes greatsword so he couldn’t capitalize on the stagger

@@rigorm136 yeah, stamina is good enough in DS3, just not as good as in ER. I fought Gael few times with Ultra Greatswords and I wasn't able to capitalize on stagger completely safely, but we are talking about the slowest weapon class in the game, so I guess in this case I need to accept that stagger offers me only a time for regen stamina and re-positioning myself.👍 Imo Gael should've just had more poise and simple stagger system, like Nameless King or Demon Prince and that would be perfect for me.

@@suchar7175 Well the thing about gael, at least in his first phase, is that any attack that does knockdown / pancake / burger flip will stagger him regardless of poise damage dealt which helps for those heavy weapons and encourages using fully charged r2s

I'd say there are 3 which surpassed Gael in ER. Malenia, Messmer, and post patch Radahn.

@@ivanchaki372Radahn is not better than Gael bro. Even after the nerf he still isn’t interesting. Malenia also has random hyper armor bullshit that prevents her from being staggered by anything even if her poise goes below zero while she’s in hyper armor frames. Neither of them are good bosses and are only difficult because of their artificially inflated difficulty. (Waterfowl / unbreakable hyper armor and pre-nerf cross slash)

Idk to each their own but imo ER surpassed Gael several times over. I mean, just from a mechanical standpoint Margit is better imo although not overall. Seriously though, Maliketh, Morgott, Radagon, Godfrey and Mohg are all better. Rellana and Messmer from the DLC are also better. Just my opinion of course but I think Gael is pretty overrated even though I like him quite a lot.

@@BBQcheese you’re right bro, Gael meat riders can’t come to terms with the fight not being all that good nowadays.

​@@Z3d195 I mean it's all subjective and I can definitely see why people love him he's very simple and cinematic which makes him very popular among casuals (most of the fanbase). I'm not saying my take is right just different.

the changes to his attacks make the fight better mechanically. as for the damage, you can just wear lighter armor or use less damage negation tools to deal with him

@glisteninggames2981 what about the fact that he's less aggressive and is much slow huh how are you going to solve that

@@morepower6800 only one of his attacks has slowed down, and thats the followup swing after clones from neutral. its not a big deal. you get more openings now, but you can always choose to pick a weaker weapon so the fight takes longer. or a very slow one that cant take as many charged heavy punishes. idk get creative

@glisteninggames2981 where has this creativity of yours went before the nerf huh and stop lying to yourself he's completely not as aggressive as he used to be and he feels much more slower and the beauty about Radahn that he was scary and intense always keeping you on your toes but now he ain't like that no more because of the constant barking from the likes of you

@@morepower6800 hes not as aggressive because he has more openings. but im very willing to trade off aggression for a fair fight that i can stay actively engaged in instead of rolling endlessly

thats not the game's fault. if you just jump over putrescent knight's swings, you can hit him while he moves every time. i have a hitless guide that explains this further. you can punish like almost everything he does easily
