The camera is the main opponent in this fight

Igon is a must. His Warcry is absolutely legendary and carried me mentally to beat this fucking lizard

CURSE YOU BAYLE! I HEREBY VOW, YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY! BEHOLD, A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR, AND I, IGON! YOUR FEARS MADE FLESH! SOLID OF SCALE YOU MAY BE, FOUL DRAGON, BUT I WILL RIDDLE YOUR ROTTEN HIDE, WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS!!!

I sincerely hate this boss. Edit: I love him ( defeated finally )

For a dude missing both his wings and half a damn leg, he sure is fast as shit

My advice is if you want to summon Igon, don't go straight to summon him wait for abit. The reason why there are so many bloodstrain at the gate, is because they attempt to summon Igon first. And Bayle one shot them during that time.

Imagine facing Bayle at his prime, when he had both legs and wings?

I see players do boss fights like this, masterfully dodging attacks and utilizing openings and i am reminded that while i can get through the game, and beat the bosses, i am not good at the game XD Thanks for always being by my side, mimic tear.

I absolutely loved this fight, the build up scaling the mountain slaying dragon after dragon like they were child’s play even fighting an elder dragon and finally when reaching the peak the storm outside is raging and igon’s promise ringing in my ears while my mimic and I entered the arena to which i immediately died.

CURSE YOU BAYYYYYYYYLE

You did forget to mention one fire attack, he stands up relatively straight and breaths fire unto the ground directly below him, happens often if you attack the injured leg. I found rolling to the right three times worked best to avoid it but it's pretty challenging to do so

This boss wouldn’t be so difficult if the camera wasn’t so bugged for dragons. Idk if it’s just me but ever since the ancient dragon sugondeez whatever its name was the camera is dookie.

Favorite boss until I saw Mesmers second phase.

this boss looking insane. thanks for your guide guys!

was sturggeling for at least an hour, watched the vid and made it on the next try. Thanks!

I have been waiting for this guide! I've gotten pretty close to killing Bayle, but I couldn't figure how to dodge his fire until now.

Thank you I have had a hard time fighting him

I screamed on many bosses...i screamed extra hard after i beat him

Didn’t stagger him once, super fun fight but lock on was a bit wonky

Lol , I was stuck on him and checked your channel to find out if there was a guide but there was nothing but the moment I defeated it you posted the video😂

He is cheesable™, I used Greatshield Skeletons and Igor to keep his attention and beamed him from far away with Bolt of Gransax.

I was waiting for the promises consort guide all last night xD, i was able to beat him the that night too!

Found and beat him just today. Was nuts. Def my fave boss so far off the dlc.

The second phase left wing lightning attacks can be punished by rolling into the initial slam and jumping attack to the head as the lightning strikes because even thought the lighting appears to strike through you the hitbox is on the ground

Took me an hour and a half to beat this guy and I was only at Scadutree level 7. It made me realize that I need lots more fragments and practice before I can even hope to tackle other bosses.

I can't wait to use his remembrance , his incantations are bad ass I was told

After watching your guide, immediately finish him off after 3 tries. Thanks! Small tips on how to navigate really help so much in the fight!

I just spent about 3 hours collectively attempting him before beating him finally and I'll just say I really feel like it was more RNG of which moves he did as opposed to any skill of mine. Scadutree level 18. I would suggest go more damage than mitigation on talismans. I used the lightning resist one and the heaviest armour I could wear before heavy load.

My 2nd favorite boss right behind Messmer. Was so fun to fight and learn.

Fighting this boss is by far the most miserable experience of my life

Something tells me harpoons may be effective

Use Dragon Hunter Katana

Loved this fight. You made it seem so easy though 😅

Doing this guy on lv 8 scadu is something else man. Fitting that he's on jagged PEAK. Love this fight.

The one combo I struggled with you didn't mention, he does two attacks and then spits fire straight down. I can't seem to roll or jump that fire.

Igon just being literally captain ahab was fun

Watching this video just to see him fight again. Beat him on my 3rd try with the dragon slaying great katana. Couldn't have done it without igon's amazing war cry

You are a beast. Beatiful display of skills. Unfortunately I got frustrated and ended up using the mimic tear...something that I was avoiding at all costs. Ended up beating him with 10 Scadetree Fragments and the summon. Felt kind of bad about it. What infuriated me the most is how much the boss runs around the arena and how many AOE he does on and around himself, making melee super frustrating, with an almost zero window for attack. Also, you can't lock on his legs for some reason. I think I tried fighting him "wrong" i didn't even try to go for the head, but that's mostly because my weapons coudn't even reach it half the tines, so I went for the stomp, legs and tail...also, I had to use a different weapon from my normal build, just to have enough damage and reach, because my spear and straight sword were not good enogh.

Mesmer spear and Igon give this fight so much flavor ! Two Dragon hunters chucking harpoons at an Elden Lord level creature.

I didn’t see the gold summon sign, thanks got him first try after summoning help

Greastshield with a seal, dodge fire, block physical attacks, get close to him and spam pestthread spears incantation whenever you have a window. Took me less than 10 tries. Would have been really tough without the shield though!

This was the most badass boss fight of the dlc for me so far. Haven’t beat the dlc yet but beating bayle was epic

Beat him at tree level 11, it's really weird how he is supposed to be a midir fight but his head does not take extra damage so I just spent the entire fight either trying to hit his crippled leg, wing bone or chest. It was way more a dps fight than learning his move, though I did learn most and avoided his head like it was hell.

Man what a rush this legend is

Did this with a level 3 blessing and oh boy was that a good choice. I really like this fight so the fact that it took very long to beat meant I got to enjoy it more. I did die like 15 times though. Surprisingly he doesn't do that much damage, like each of his hits would be 40-60% of my max HP with 60Vig the Radahn rune and a level 3 blessing. Next time I'll fight him I'll make sure to be at a higher level of blessing to see how it will play out.

This is one of the coolest boss I’ve seen .

I’ve been spamming my head against this boss at scadutree level 10 lmao, I just got to 11 so hopefully this is easier. Thank you for this video, I learned a lot!

I was using a greatsword and never staggered him

Finally beat him been trying since last night!

I swear every boss does more attacks than these videos I watch in YT

1:20 this attack. This damn attack is the only attack in his kit I can't consistently avoid for the life of me, strictly because of a stray piece of fire diverging from it, regardless of if you're on his left or right side.

Igon is there to make the fight even more epic, he's a hypeman lol

Managed to beat it 2 days ago. Got owned an embarrassing amound of times but I did it.

EASILY THE MOST FUN BOSS I'VE FOUGHT

Ive lost track how many times ive attempted this boss and still not made it to his second phase 😭

It’s bold of you to assume I can get him to second phase

Would be nice if more than like 1/4 of my attacks connected. I really don't want to use another larval tear but might have to.

Honestly I didn’t find him that hard with Igon, would recommend summoning. My biggest issue with the fight was trying to hit him as a lot of his attacks can be avoided if you just wail on his feet but you can only target his head…

Bayle, in my opinion, is the most epic boss fight in the DLC and possibly the entire game.

Ancient dragon lightning strike incantation /gravel stone seal /Godfrey icon axe tailsman / shard of Alexander or faithful canvas tailsman / summon a minic let the minic focus on him and spam the spell easy kill

I’m fighting this right after rellana lmao. I wanted the great katana and went on the whole side quest by accident

What about going for his leg stump and he does the overhead fire breath attack?

Does Igor not show up if you progressed the dlc too far? I’m at the end and only now getting to that dragon.

I’m tweaking tf out fighting this boss

he’s just so cool i can’t get mad when he kills me bc its so coooolll

best animation design

Igon got me KILLED.... I summoned him and all he did was stand where I summoned him and talking screaming at Bayle...I was like, Igon do something... after I was killed then he started to attack Bayle....SMH!!! So I used my +10 Mimic... +25 Ice infused Zweihander... Dragon Ice... Borealis's Mist and GhostFlame Breath... Took down that Cheating Bayle.... After he beat me like 20x...LOL... This is one of the best, if not the BEST Boss Fight in all of Elden Ring!!!

I heard from the neckbeards on Reddit that you don't need to fight senessax to summon igon for bayle. Is this true? I swear I had to go back to get the summoning sign to show up....

beating this boss with no summons might be my proudest accomplishment in life thus far

I actually love this boss. After 2 hours of fighting him, I decided it’s time to see some tips What’s destroying my run is his double breath attack. It killed me multiple times. The other thing that’s throwing me off is the delayed ground blowing up I simply play with no lock in and stick to his cut off leg Edit: I never trust jump dodges in this game because I’m not used to them unless someone tells me to do it lol

Please make one for the final boss. Specially the 2nd phase.

CUUUURRSSSEEEE YOUUU BAYLLEEEE

Honestly when you get his moves down and assuming you’re good at delay attacks hes not that hard it took me abt 30 min… except that 2 part lightning explosion move when he flys up in the air😂

This guy claps my cheek more than all dlc boss combined.

Somehow i managed to beat it on my first try. I focused on using unsheathe on the legs and it got staggered several times. I used a vial with the extra stagger effect.

whats the recommended scadutree level for this boss??

This was the third major/remembrance boss I beat (after Lion and Relanna). Didnt realize he was a late game boss. Dragonslayer Katana+10 and defensive blessing from Dragon Priestess makes it z bit easier.

Now that i saw the guide I’m definitely able to defeat him… oh wait 😭

Killed him in 2 tries. Was sad because that fight was one of the most epic boss fights ever. Loved it.

This is helpful but I was hoping you'd cover the attack where he rears up and breaths fire straight down. It comes out when you're behind or under him and is giving me some trouble.

Damn i didnt even notice dude was missing a leg cuz i usually die 3 seconds in

To this day, I cannot land a single hit on Bayle. I beat every other boss except for the very last one, but this guy is something else.

Bayle is not a gentleman like Placidusax, my dude goes straight for that oneshot most times when you interact with that summon signs

How does this thing hit softer than messmer? Did that scadu buff change the game that much?

Fromsoft fixing the camera for giant dragon bosses challenge: level impossible

Got him in under about 8 attempts with the last attempt using the igon for the first time lmao. Used all strength build with giant crusher. With great shield, flamedrake, erdtree, and axe talismans. Used charged attacks and lion claw on his tail. I dodged pretty much all attacks expect the fire breath straight down and some flying ones. Amazing boss especially with igon and the voice! Only problem was trying to lock on to him after he flew into the air because I was not locked on while attacking.

I can't hate this dragon, no matter how many times I die he's such a cool design.

This so far is my favorite boss in the game Best dragon boss in fromsoft games

This is the only boss I was able to beat on third try I legit don’t understand what’s wrong with me with every other boss

lol I’ve been trying at tree level 5. Almost had him. Scarlett rot and black blade. But that phase 2 strafing fire got me. I stood up and yelled at the TV WHAT IS THIS CRAP!!!

Just got to him and I have to say he might be the most badass dragon I've ever fought in any videogame and I fought a lot of them. And yes I'm summoning Igon, because that was his dying wish.

how was this build with byle the dread?

He also has that stupid aoe attack where he shoots fire underneath him that move keeps beating my ass

If only I could target lock on his leg or chest like other dragons. Literally the worse part about this fight is getting the camera situated and getting hits in. Head is always too high for me to attack. I come next to the leg and attacks veer to head due to camera lock this is actually stupid....

Finally beat this boss. That grab attack was the worst move in his arsenal for me. Delayed as heck.

Whoever said use the Dragon Hunters Great katana. Is a genius, my dumbass fault for not reading the description of the weapon. The difference it makes once you learn the boss fight.

I used the dragon hunter great katana and got kinda stuck under him and got in like 5 attacks before he flew off. Made it kinda easy…

Do you suggest fightning with locking his head like in the video or delock him and attack his legs or tails ? I find it harder to lock him

If you really want to destroy this boss, frost is the way to go
