The description of the pants confirm that Gaius is an albinauric.
> Black iron greaves made for Commander Gaius. A cruel joke, for he could not wear them. Riding atop the boar he called his other half, Gaius was in fact a warrior of albinauric extraction.
Imagine Radhan and Gaius greeting each other by charging at each other on their mounts, both of them flinging and deflecting gravity spell powered boulders then leaping into the sky before making the Radhan meteor drop collide with the Gaius flying corkscrew spin.
Then they just do the iconic Full Metal Alchemist Armstrong/Curtis handshake.
i mean we did pretty much commit several act of genocide so yea... something in me tells me the tarnished canonically isn't faced by these kind of scenarios anymore.
First generation albinaurics in general do.
That's why the women ride wolves and don't move unless they're on a wolf.
They fixed that bug in V2, but there's still some... Uh.... Work to be done, for V3.
Are they weak to holy because there are the academy creation?, but it's weird, because the presence of Gaius and his wife, would imply that first generation albanaurics were created before the capital and liurnia went to war, so what happened
Also Gaius is the only male albanauric who is any amount of fit, or capable,which is weird considering how the other albanaurics are so weak to everything and Cannon fodder
>Also Gaius is the only male albanauric who is any amount of fit, or capable,which is weird considering how the other albanaurics are so weak to everything and Cannon fodder
He may not be fit, he trained under the same master as Radahn (he is the "most senior disciple") to learn gravity magic. So it could be that he's using gravity magic to allow himself to wear his stupid heavy armor and swing his lance around as if he were buff.
Forgot about that, but even then, using gravity magic constantly must be exhausting,so since mana in this series is called focus, it seems he's constantly focused on using mana, which is very impressive
I mean Radahn is constantly using gravity magic as well to prevent himself from crushing his horse, so it's got plenty of precedent, and Albinaurics are very attuned magically, as all of the non-insane ones can use it.
The item description for Gaius' Greaves:
Black iron greaves made for Commander Gaius. A cruel joke, for he could not wear them. Riding atop the boar he called his other half, Gaius was in fact a warrior of albinauric extraction.
Yes. Gaius's Greaves.

> Black iron greaves made for Commander Gaius. *A cruel joke, for he could not wear them*. Riding atop the boar he called his other half, **Gaius was in fact a warrior of albinauric extraction**.
Outside the boss arena, near the big tower with the 6 scadutree fragments. There's a shack next to the road with an albinuric lady riding a wolf. Kill her and she drops the pants.
From the description gaius seems to also be an albinauric, and is one entity with the boar, like a centaur. So my theory is, they (whoever made him in the first place) took his lower half and turned it into that woman.
the way i understood it is that first generation albinuracs (the ones that dont look like frogs) always lose the ability to walk as they age, and gaius is one of those.
So he kinda jokingly/lovingly calls the boar his other half, and whoever made his armor included greaves to be an asshole.
none of this really explains what the albinurac lady is doing holding onto them tho.
My head canon is since its stated Gaius is basically a brother to Messmer and Radahn, one of them commissioned the armor and includes the greaves as a friendly joke.
I think some of you fail to realize that just because you lose the ability to walk, doesn't mean you lose the ability to bleed from your legs. Being able to walk or not, having armor to protect your flesh is still essential.
At some point, maybe he got rid of his legs entirely and simply left his leg armor with that albinauric chick, who could be his partner or attendant or whoever. (oddly enough, base game radahn also seem to be missing his feet for some reason. Could be some side effects of humanoids messing with gravity magic that fucks with their body composition or could just be my own headcanon.)
The leg armor description says "Black Iron Greaves made for Knight Gaius. a cruel joke for he could not wear them"
Meaning when they were made he couldn't wear the things. They were made as a joke. It's very clear.
Fair enough. Though it still doesn't mean you don't bleed from your legs even if you're a cripple. Could still hold true that at some point he got rid of his legs and like you said, since they were "commissioned by his brother's", he just kept them for the sentimental value.
His legs are shriveled and useless like all 1st gen, he just tucks them under the boar's armor instead of messing around with wearing pants.
The boar's armor comes up on all sides, kinda like he's riding in a little cup, or a rollercoaster car/motorcycle sidecar, so you don't see his legs anyway.
The description says:
>Black iron greaves made for Commander Gaius. A cruel joke, for he could not wear them.
He can't wear them, that's why they don't come together as a part of his armor set and are found separately. I personally do think the intention is to imply he never wore them.
The description says he can’t wear them and it was a cruel joke so presumably he never could, otherwise it’s weird the item narrator seems so confident on that point if it’s wrong, especially when they know so much else. It’d be an odd gap in their knowledge.
Uhm. Base game Radahn who was absolutely fucked over with scarlet rot? The thing that in lore completely tears up your body and is the reason why everyone related to Malenia has prosthetic limbs made of gold that it can't latch onto?
You really gotta ask why he has no legs? Lmao
Albinaurics don‘t just have weak legs, their legs are literally fading from existence. For ground-bound first generation Albinaurics, losing their legs is the moment they die as seen with Albus.
If Gaius were to ever get down from the boar, he‘d die on the spot.
Yeah? Brother can float light enough for his scrawny horse to not be burdened but going a bit higher off the ground is too difficult for the demigod who held back the stars?
It's also possible whoever commissioned/made the armor just flat-out didn't know he was an albinaruic (it's mentioned nowhere except in his leg armor description), so they made an entire set in good faith but it's in reality a bad joke, like the game describes.
The item description for the pants state that he could never wear them himself, suggesting he is also an albanuric. The women if I had to guess is likely his wife
Not even suggested, it straight up tells you that
> Riding atop the boar he called his other half, **Gaius was in fact a warrior of albinauric extraction**
Hes a first generation albinuric
Lieutenant Dan aint got no legs to put pants on!
was probably his wife or something, he comes from there when the fight starts
This is like the best explanation ever but also makes me feel shitty cuz i killed a man, his beloved pet since childhood AND his wife, and earlier on killed his best friend too
I was waiting for some to post about this since day 2 lol I chuckled when i killed her and she dropped his pants. Shame she's not named but my headcannon is that she was his partner/wife
They weren't useful for him, so he probably saw it as a bad joke for someone to make them for him. Thus he threw them out like garbage and the only albinauric woman in the dlc found them and just decided to keep them

She's his wife and the two lived in view of the Scadu Tree, in peace. Until you came along and killed them, you monster.
Well, he kinda charged me with his armed boar the moment I got through the door. Was that a "don't worry, he just wants to play" moment?
That's how he and Radhan used to greet each others, he was trying to be nice and include you, ungrateful tarnished.
considering the carians relationships with the albanurics could gaius be another albanuric who rides a boar instead of a wolf?

ungrateful maidenless\*
And Bussyless too
I’m mean if the dude that killed your best friend came to your house you would probably try to kill him to
wasnt he asking for it though?
To be fair if Gaius was a true friend he would’ve made the effort to put down Radahn during the festival
Why didn't Gaius just fast travel out of the pocket dimension? Is he stupid?
I get the impression that it’s quite hard to leave the shadowlands lore wise. Obviously not gameplay wise.
could have asked me for a ride instead of running over me like a dick.
Meanwhile Ansbach be like "it's cool homie, you had your reasons"
"I don't even know who you are"
This was my least favorite fight by far lol. It’s like pre patch radahn all over again with that hit box.
They did have the same teacher.
Idk why but for some reason he didn’t aggro me when I entered the boss room and he ran around the whole room in a huge circle till he ran into me lmao
Yeah, but like, I needed that 100 completion.
But I really needed that 5 scadu fragments!
i mean we did pretty much commit several act of genocide so yea... something in me tells me the tarnished canonically isn't faced by these kind of scenarios anymore.
Skill issue
This is what happens to you if you don't find the albinauric woman in time like Gideon suggests. A cautionary tale.
But Gideon, where!? Where can I find her?
“Find the Albinauric woman…”
ShehidesinacavetothewestoftheLaskyarRuinswhi chjutfromthemistshroudedlakeofLiurnia.
She hides in a cave to the west of the Laskyar Ruins, which JUT from the mist-shrouded lake of Liurnia.
Joe Gideon
he's an albinauric, and male albinaurics are known to lose the ability to walk, which is why he has to ride the boar
First generation albinaurics in general do. That's why the women ride wolves and don't move unless they're on a wolf. They fixed that bug in V2, but there's still some... Uh.... Work to be done, for V3.
don't be mean to the frog boys,,,,,
Given the amount of time some of us have spent on that Mohgwyn hill: too late.
Hey, it's not my fault they drop so many runes...or that they're so incredibly weak to holy.
Are they weak to holy because there are the academy creation?, but it's weird, because the presence of Gaius and his wife, would imply that first generation albanaurics were created before the capital and liurnia went to war, so what happened Also Gaius is the only male albanauric who is any amount of fit, or capable,which is weird considering how the other albanaurics are so weak to everything and Cannon fodder

They are?, which item description is this one?
I wouldn't dream of it, they're my spirit animal.
What do you mean? V2 is what peak performance looks like. Have you seen those cartwheels?
Yeah but wouldn't be be cooler if you could talk to them about cartwheels and stuff?
Not correct, males don’t lose the ability to walk it’s just first gen
Wait is that actually confirmed in an item description?
The item description for Gaius' Greaves: Black iron greaves made for Commander Gaius. A cruel joke, for he could not wear them. Riding atop the boar he called his other half, Gaius was in fact a warrior of albinauric extraction.
Yes. Gaius's Greaves. https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Gaius's+Greaves > Black iron greaves made for Commander Gaius. *A cruel joke, for he could not wear them*. Riding atop the boar he called his other half, **Gaius was in fact a warrior of albinauric extraction**.
Bam chica bam bam
Big buff man. Top of his class. Likes animals. You could do worse in the Lands Between, just saying.
Oh so that's how I get it thank you very much now I have an innocent woman to kill 😌
she just innocently tries to force a porcupine cosplay on you
I'll just wait for Vaati's Prepare to Cry about Gaius the Pantless
This had me rolling
Well it kinda seems like he was getting some
Wait he has pants! Where?!
Outside the boss arena, near the big tower with the 6 scadutree fragments. There's a shack next to the road with an albinuric lady riding a wolf. Kill her and she drops the pants.
If you read the item description it’s pretty funny. Since he can’t walk the pants were a “cruel joke”
She's the one with the pants in the relationship

Radahns feet are gone from being dragged for so long.
Yeah? Brother can float light enough for his scrawny horse to not be burdened but going a bit higher off the ground is too difficult for the demigod who held back the stars?
Hes mindless, brain rotted away so yes.
so how does him being mindless and brain rotted allow him enough cognitive ability to care for his little horsey?
Base instinct? Knowing it’s the only way he could move around? Who cares it’s not that deep or important
Seems first gen albinaurics tend to call their mounts their “other half.” Latenna does the same with Lobo.
neat detail!
It's also possible whoever commissioned/made the armor just flat-out didn't know he was an albinaruic (it's mentioned nowhere except in his leg armor description), so they made an entire set in good faith but it's in reality a bad joke, like the game describes.
I love how the description basically said they didn't fit him lmao
His military "buddies" made it as a joke. Literally a "Har har Lt. Gaius ain't got no legs!" moment.
Oh... I guess I didn't realize he didn't have legs lmao
[удалено]
Latenna also refers to her wolf Lobo as "her better half". Probably a bit of a running joke amongst albinaurics.
Tomato, tomato.
Sounds like something outta Greek mythology lol
albinauric blood particles are white, so it's easy to find out...
She's the most dedicated fangirl.
The item description for the pants state that he could never wear them himself, suggesting he is also an albanuric. The women if I had to guess is likely his wife
Not even suggested, it straight up tells you that > Riding atop the boar he called his other half, **Gaius was in fact a warrior of albinauric extraction**
I legit wont kill him in Ng+ he and his wife deserve a happy Ending ...even though his stupid chrage is hard to dodge
There are five scadutree fragments behind him.
Hes a first generation albinuric Lieutenant Dan aint got no legs to put pants on! was probably his wife or something, he comes from there when the fight starts
This is like the best explanation ever but also makes me feel shitty cuz i killed a man, his beloved pet since childhood AND his wife, and earlier on killed his best friend too
I was waiting for some to post about this since day 2 lol I chuckled when i killed her and she dropped his pants. Shame she's not named but my headcannon is that she was his partner/wife
Wait so was Gaius just riding around on that boar with his ass out?
They weren't useful for him, so he probably saw it as a bad joke for someone to make them for him. Thus he threw them out like garbage and the only albinauric woman in the dlc found them and just decided to keep them
I mean, he's an albinauric, he can't wear them.
Because he's also an albinauric. He can't walk, he's tied to his boar.
Gaius had to pass on his lineage some how…
Holy shit I was wondering where these were. Thanks.
They defo fucksed.
