[@missingn0o]

For anyone struggling: run diagonally forward so he has to bend his path and meet you at about a 70 degree angle - this allows you to dodge forward as shown, but his ass wont be there to roll catch you when you roll trough his head.

[@Red_AM]

There's something about this being in slow motion that makes it so much funnier (speaking as someone who also got thrashed around silly by the DLC)

[@foxepunz4849]

for anyone finding this video later on...
my tips
-use bloodhound step or raptor of the mists for the charge and the hovering charge in phase two if ur struggling with it (it hits hard!)
-everything else is pretty dodgeable with medium roll, its just what direction you have to dodge, when he does the big combo dodge forward-right until he does the boar head scrape (second to last attack) dodge that forward left and then one more roll for the sword-spear slam, and if you are positioned close to him the last attack will whiff, the last roll isnt needed and you get a longer punish
-never dodge backwards (this goes for the whole dlc)
-and always assume the boar will kick if you are behind him (ive seen many hosts ive been summoned for get hit by it repeatedly) if the boar kicks you get a hit so just wait for it anyways
good luck to anyone still on gaius

[@bomb4r719]

[@filmhaltig]

That hogs hit box is the size of a shopping mall when it‘s charging no joke

[@afif1406]

This shit had me falling from bed in laughter😭

[@SenoSasquatch]

That boar charge might be the most annoying boss attack Fromsoft has ever produced. Horns low to the ground that extend the hitbox forward away from the boar's body. Tall grass to conceal it from view on top of the fact the camera angle and your character's body already does. A hitbox that reaches back to the boar's ass so rolling through just doesn't work, and rolling to the side will still get clipped if you do it too early. Quick start up, very hard to adjust to when the AI decides to do it at near point blank range for whatever reason.

[@lucazaroli6761]

Hey, sorry if everybody already knows this but since I haven't seen anyone talk about it you can ride on torrent for this fight and it's easy to dodge the charge that way along with his other attacks

[@MrPickleEdits]

For the charge, dodge diagonally in a broad angle (mainly right/left with a touch of forwards)
To create attack opportunities, bait his ai to make the boar kick up his back feet by dodging towards his sides and then his ass, do one attack, roll the kick and do 2 more.
When he summons the orb, sprint away, no questions asked.
Hope this helps, best of luck.

[@Razruer]

Why do y'all heal at the strangest time. Or attack when you had a clear moment to heal? Honestly from this and from Co-oping with people, some of y'all out there need lessons on basic boss dodging. BTW I just running Jump to the side for the charge and it works about 85% of the time. Depends what angle and how close.
Okay actually I'll just put it here. Don't heal in the boss' face when he is NOT attack. That is rule number one, the game is PROGRAMED to queue up an attack the moment you begin healing. How have you guys gone this long without realizing that. You WAIT for the boss to do an attack and while he is recovering, you heal. NOT ATTACK. If you're issue is that you're dying with heals in the bank, you were being too greedy and not observing the boss. MEMORIZED his attack patterns instead of senselessly bonking your head against it. C'mon people this is BASIC boss fighting 101. I quite literally did this boss on my third or fourth attempt while having heard about it being difficult. Its not that difficult, some of y'all just refuse to explore and get the schado-be-do-be-doo fragments and it SHOWS. They are quite literally your new level progression. PLEASE, as a mainly co-oper in this game, PLEASE learn for your mistakes. Stop panic rolling, bosses are DESIGNED in this game to PREY on panic rolling. I BEG OF YOU. Playing a healer build is worse then being an invader somehow. I literally stopped being an invader in this game and somehow being a co-oper is WORSE. HOW, HOW DO YOU PEOPLE MANAGE IT. HOW DID YOU EVEN MANAGE TO GET HERE???
Sorry for the rant but I've been doing so much co-op for the past 30 hours and even after updating a dedicated healer build to help others, I cannot take another person blindly jump attacking into the boss' huge wind up hit that oneshots them because they thought leveling vig was optional.
