POV: you're fromsoft dragon boss fans 

With the insane amount of energy he uses to call you that, i can see why. Like bro just hyping me up to fight the unbeatable heavyweight champion. Gonna make your hype man proud.

Ngl I feel really guilty for using the mimic when I slay that dragon before he Bayle, I ought to go back and do it one on one for the second playthrough.

​@@trevorfranks69not that one bro

@@thomasway0320you can use both

I mean think abou it. There are 2 dragons fighting each other to the death and out of nowhere some crazy lunatic runs in and beats both up to get more dragon hearts. Obviously we are beyond saving and there is nothing keeping us from facing bayle

@@theoneandonly9775 You're right, If I saw a random guy on a horse just walking STRAIGHT into a dragon duel with 0 hesitation, you know that guy's got nothing to lose. Truly a drake warrior

He had faith on us, a true homie

My guess is that most players will take very little damage in that fight and destroy those two dragons like fodder. Igon sees that pure aura and instantly KNOWS you have it in you to defeat Bayle

@@krishvids608 nah he saw me climb that mountain 50 times to put the hands on 4 dragons looking for bayle

Igon is waifu.

Igon doing his best Captain Ahab impression

*starts using useless dragon roars*

@@qudratzazai to be fair, Greyoll's Roar, besides doing damage on the initial roar, also lowers the attack and defense of nearby enemies

@@qudratzazaimy guy literally staggered Bayle with one of those roars

Btw it was is first ever voice role

VA absolutely slew his performance. Incredible work.

I wouldn't be surprised if miazaki cracked a smile at his take on it.

​@deathsmile309 "CUUUUUURSE YOOOOOOU BAYLE!" Ya that's right Igon, FUCK Bayle!

“A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR, AND I IGON!!! YOUR FEARS MADE FLESH”

He was there to witness Bayle's lifeless body collapse to the ground, yet sadly, he couldn't be there to feast upon the heart of Bayle the Dread to finish up his vengeance. I finished what he started though, and even though I haven't the arcane to use the spell, I consumed that heart for him

feast UPON

Nah this is more Martin than Miyazaki.

The Myazaki classic, giant dragon boss with a bunch of build up hidden somewhere in a dlc as a optional superboss. Never fails.

I think it's to show their power. Despite being wounded, (pierced by a giant arrow for Kalameet, impaled by a spear fot Sinh, wings torn apart for Midir, lose of 3 of his five heads for Placi, and all of the missing limbs of Bayle) these dragons are still very strong and dangerous monsters for us to fight. Hell, Placi and Bayle are the oldest dragons we've ever fought and the strongest, one being a previous Elden Lord of a previous age and the other being the one to wound him. Such is the power of a dragon.

Funfact, out of all of these Kalameet is still the only dragon you can technically beat pre- nerf because Gough is entirely optional. They even put unique dialogue for him if you kill Kalameet without his help.

The final boss of the DLC is Fromsoft's answer to why we don't fight legends in their prime: Because 90% will complain how unfair the boss is.

@@glorytoukraine5524 Consort Radahn still isn't Prime Radahn, Consort Radahn used Mogh's Blood Magic, and had Miquella spam holy Magic, Prime Radahn was a warrior that mastered Gravity magic, so those 2 are completely different beings.

@@Just_B0redHe also makes liberal use of gravity magic to be fair. But yeah, judging from item descriptions it is meant to be a younger Radahn, probably because that is the ideal image of him that Miquella has in his mind. However, with a literal god riding on his back Consort Radahn probably rivals prime Radahn in terms of canonical power.

With two of dragon lord head still biting down on it’s back

Pretty much no wings honestly

He is so baddass he makes his own wings out of thunder

É o preço de arrancar três cabeças do plasiudosexy

@@hassanhadi5464 pure rage magic Also the way he dies - as if like Bayle STILL wants to fight, kills himself or does something different entirely. Idk, the pose, the action itself, all of this is somehow seems to be more than just death. Anyway, DIED STANDING THO

*I HEREBY VOW. YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY!*

Literally and figuratively lol

Bayle and Messmer were awesome boss fights, genuinely one of my favorites. Fuck the final boss, that shit was impossible and not in the fun way at all, I was getting speed-blitzed and turned into mush for like 90 tries before I managed to beat that atrocity of a boss fight. I was on the absolute brink of just using a mimic and a summon.

@@k_Shadi18 You can see that most budged went into Messmer and Bayle, game basically builds up those 2 as most important, and you even have dialogues, with last "boss" you get jack shite

@@Just_B0red I mean you do get dialogue and some cool cutscenes and the final boss still “looked” awesome but the moveset in that second phase is complete bullshit. One of the unreasonably hardest boss fights I have ever had, and I fought Maliketh for fuck’s sake

​@@k_Shadi18I'll agree. I beat Malenia at lv65, without movement ashes. I would argue she's pretty fair in comparison. I would say his first phase is pretty fair. I don't know who came up with phase two, but I'm kinda scared now. Not sure if I'll actually be able to do this.

Placidusax fucked him up good.

Him and Placidusax really fucked each other up. Must have been an insane fight to witness. I bet Fortissax pulled Godwyn aside one day and told him the whole story.

If you look at Bayle's back, 2 of Palcidusax's missing heads are attached to him biting into him. An absolutely badass dragon design

The storytelling around the Bayle fight is incredible. With this amazing fight and the area leading up to it, Bayle tells a better story than other bosses do with cutscenes.

us being called "True Drake warrior"

is the equivelent of being acknowledge as True Dragon slayer that shit feels bad ass

Like a second phase

You are, Igon told me.

Midir is still peak, but VILE BAYLE is an easy second. He should be bigger though.

Igon, from now on I'll ask for Igon

The only gripe I have is that a big portion of his attacks dip my fps to 30-40, which is not a problem specific for this boss but it is a bit frustrating nonetheless

@@MrPEWDER Sounds like a you problem. Even tho, if you can't play at 30-40 fps,you are a low tier gamer let's be real. There's no handicap above 25 fps. (Movies in the 80s & 90 were 24 fps)

@@jordanbrad2298 No, it doesn't lmfao

@@Ron_Jambo_ Have you tried? That's just what I heard

​​@@Ron_Jambo_ It buffs pretty much everything related to magma, which somehow includes blasphemous blade's aow.

Placidusax is a pretty good fight and a great spectacle but he has a significant problems Imo. Not up to the standard of Midir or Bale.

Placidusax was the only good base game dragon fight. Honestly my favorite base game boss. Fight wise he was on par with bayle for me.

@@dorianrobinette9712well the other dragons aren’t really “bosses” they’re more like really big normal enemies. I mean at a few points they don’t even have boss health bars I always thought it was stupid to compare them to Midir or Kalameet or any of the specially designed dragons from other games or even Placi in this one who is clearly a BOSS bosss

@@gummyboots I see your point there, but many of them are still treated as bosses, and have unique names. So the comparison does make sense. Heck, even fortissax the major lore character he was, was still a crappy reskin. Not only is placidusax a great fight on his own, but the bar was set so low in his game that he just shines all the more is how I look at it.

​@@jamiefenwick8359hard disagree, placidusax is the peak dragon fight, then bayle and midir But for me, spectacle is extremely important for a dragon boss fight, it needs to be flashy, and placidusax is peak flashy, the way the music cuts out when he uses bolt of gransaxx and nukes the arena is cinematic perfection (if you're in a spot to see it admittedly) Midir and bayle also have very flashy move sets, but that bolt move and the double doom laser just push placidusax to a different level for me

The hornsent can go rot for all I care. His people did horrible things and they had it coming when Messmer purged them all. And he was hella annoying in that group fight before the final boss.

​@@k_Shadi18I agree, the hornsents are just, rotten and yet they still think that Marika betrayed them, it's disgusting.

how many npcs have dialogue mid-fight? i think even including the dlc there's only a handful and most are just player vs npc fights for quests n stuff

Oddly enough Sanessax, dragon that you fight on your way to Bayle felt more difficult, I guess it had to do with arena being covered in water so all his attacks hit with insane AoE

@@Just_B0red That fight felt horrible, and made me dread Bayle because I thought his fight would be just as lazy and frustrating, but I’m glad to have been proven wrong.

Dracula what are you doing here?😂

SPLIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER WHEN YOU SEE THE DREAD BAYLE

I got rare

My bestie

we love mom here

Fortisax? Looked awesome, sadly you're pretty overlevelled for the the fight and he just kinda melts into goo instantly has been my experience

no florrisax he is an anceint dragon in jagged peak but I agree I was way to overlevelled for forti LOL

@@wasaysepicworld8246 I must have missed him somehow :/

Best is too much. But he is not bad for sure. The rest are kinda trash tho. Boring repetitions of the same type of fight with a slight variation, all designed for horse combat which lets admit is not great.

@@Gef105 base drake totally sucks, I agree, but Placi to me is top tier and my favourite ER boss. The arena, the music, the fact that he fades in and out of time and space, it's all perfect.. And the lasers. Those are top tier

​@depressedespresso3928 Placidusax is awesome, however I didn't enjoy the other Ancient Dragon fights. Which makes me a bit sad, because Fortissax is one of the coolest looking Dragon's that Fromsoft created, while also having a cool looking arena and amazing theme.

My guy he likes the Midir fight, taste was never an option

All that Placidusax has going for it is the spectacle

Instant long range breath never happened for me, was always quite easy to dodge since the two breath attacks have different wind ups

It's not instant, all you have to do is run to the side. Unless you buff after you enter, for which I can't help you.

I've never seen him hit you as you're passing through the fogwall. Right after? Sure.

Yea, George R.R. definitely had some involvement in this boss, lol.

Yeah because Georges invented the word "dread", everyone knows that.

​@@Ron_Jambo_he wrote the lore for the game, so bayle is definitely his creation

​​@@ThienNguyen-kx9sceither it's his creation, or the developers just named Bayle after Balerion

The difficulty really depends on if you’re overleveled when you reach him or not. If you 100%ed or close everything before you get to him then yeah he’s isn’t that scary

@@gummyboots Nah, first time I beat him before Maliketh and onwards, truth be told I died like 8x to the sentinel before Maliketh while for Placidusax I killed second try, Godfrey and Radagon detroyed me on that playthrough lol. I think he really needs a buff just to make up for his name, but he wont be getting none now, sadly

He was an ancient dragon himself but with some sort of recessive gene expression that he passed onto his children I think
