People can say what they will about summons, but Igon really sold this fight for me. Props to his VA for an outstanding performance. WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS!!!

Was waiting for this one. Bayle was the 2nd hardest boss for me at 18 attempts. Only won thanks to me switching over to the Dragon-Hunter Great Katana. Ash of War did loads of damage against Bayle. You wouldn't think a dragon with a missing leg and shredded wings would move so fast but here we are. If you spoke to the Dragon Priestess on the way up the mountain, you know Bayle got all these injuries while fighting Dragonlord Placidusax. And if you look closely, you'll see Placidusax's two missing heads are still latched onto Bayle's body. Placidusax probably had his two necks wrapped around Bayle, was biting into him and probably had the heads ripped off when Bayle escaped. Awesome detail.

Can you use this build for the DLC? I would love to see that!

I remembered a tip from one of your vids a while back where you used the Spectral Lance ash of war to stance break dragons, worked like a charm on Bayle - takes like 3 spectral lances with the barbed cracked tear. The fight has a nice flow when you're fighting his head and have a means of hitting it even when he bobs it back out of range of a normal melee weapon.

Bayle is the Elden Ring version of Darkeater Midir from ds3 and if you look closer, he is missing a claw and a leg, and, two of Placidussax's heads are raped around his neck

I dont think i can beat it tbh

CURSE YOU BAAAYYLLEEE!

Now i understand why the tearnished is so special for besting these bosses

No matter what poopoo caca gamers want to talk, me and my mimic will never stop bonking bosses with the greatsword. Bloodhound steppin’ bloodflame brainrot gang baby. Get frenzied.

I remember when we saw this guy in the trailers and everyone was speculating that he was a husband of Marika's before she became a god. Boy were we off the mark! He is a good boss overall. Playing against Frenzy Flame-wielders in PvP helped me practice dodging attacks like his so I was able to beat him my second attempt. Well done on getting him! So per your other comments, we might be seeing more of this guy in your videos?

This boss has the lore community all abuzz right now. Her Remembrance has a lot of implications. Though I was able to beat her on my first attempt, I see you and I both made the same mistake of rolling into one of the "fingers" of that hand energy attack. XD

3 apirit ashes bro...

My mimic beat his ass

I love this series! After I beat a boss I come here right after to see how you faired! For this boss, the frost attacks in the second phase were my issue. I kept trying to roll them. Once I got hit during that phase, it was a countdown to when I was gonna eventually die lol. It seems JUMPING the frost attacks works best. Next play-through I’ll try that! It’s very hard to heal in the second phase. I eventually got em in about 45 minutes using the iron greatsword build that you made a video on! Cheers!

How the fuck do you fat roll as a mage. The Squishy Zoner playstyle.

I dig the Foley/sounds they used for Dry Leaf Art attacks, but a slightly different tone/timber on the kicks would have put it over the top.

I kept waiting for some kind of 'tail' grab, instead it is the source of sorcery. The first riposte you got in the final attempt was some kind of martial arts teleportation magic.

I love this fight too. Bonus to you, Impaling Thrust has a nice duck animation that makes Midra miss some attacks.

There's so many arenas with water in them. As a lightning enjoyer I couldn't be happier, but I feel for the fire enjoyers

Amazing work. Is this NG+7?

Bloodborne cosmic horror vibes

The best buildup and soundtrack of elden ring

The build isn't that bad. Especially if you presume that it's everything that gets used, and stuff might be removed if it's useless when fighting bosses. Especially if you're not terminally on the wiki so don't have an incredible understanding of the mechanics. Two shields is the weirdest part, but the load isn't going down by removing it, you're never gonna fumble with them really, so it's likely just to remove the necessity of opening the inventory to swap.

Sax, you NEED to make a Midra build! He is one of the coolest bosses of this DLC

I like this video, I made a build using shield and lordsworn’s straight sword. I made sure to use guard counters when possible but to be honest a lot of the time I just used square off, it’s just TOO good. I also put parry on my shield because parrying bosses like Melina was so funny.

Love that the fight feels like a waltz of insanity, MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!

Me and my non-optimized build, since i like to wear 100 different weapons and change as needed on bosses

a insufferable build for a insufferable man child

Dark souls fans when you don't beat the game naked with a stick

The only real problem with this guy in my opinion is the bright yellow which hurts my eyes.

One of the best boss i ever fought

Just beat this one last night. Absolutely loved it! I almost gave up on my colossal sword because it felt too slow at first, but in the end, it pulled through.

<THE DEPTHS OF YOUR FOOLISHNESS!>

The best cutscene and easily one of the best bosses in the DLC. Well telegraphed, no bullshit attacks. It honestly felt like a DS3 boss. However I am ashamed to admit nearly dying to phase 1 multiple times 😅 Also in case you haven't noticed, the OST at 7:26 is a callback to song of despair! ( the one that plays at dead merchants place behind sewer mohg ) If you know the lore, this hits hard and is an amazing detail!

This dude was awesome, definitely one of my favourite Souls Bosses. Bayle is up there too

Lord of Freenzy not only is my favourite boss of the DLC, it is easily one of my top 3 Souls Bosses of all time! Absolutely love everything about this fight. Absolutely Mesmerizing!

Spelling error in the title. This CZcams channel is doomed smh💀

Nightmare Fuel Part 1 Ahead

yay, another one (me commenting in the hopes of pushing the video a little) I really like this boss

Nerds trying to bully musk for being a fake dork is wild

Why didn't Godwynn use that build to flex on the assassins? Was he stupid?

Do you see a big difference after the update ? People complain about it making it easier

It's 33 stance damage regardless if I one-hand or two-hand the weapon right? I want to use a greatshield so I have access to guard countering. Plus Sword and Shield is my fav aesthetic. :D

I played with you past night. I appreciate the help. Wasn't able to kill either Messmer or Gayle. Much love, Tarnished!

Gael you got a discord for people to join?

I’m sorry but Mesmer is harder then Malenia

Oh boy 4 attempts? Damn that's impressive! I've just beat Bayle yesterday (FromSoft cooked this boss deep and hard btw) and learned that holding your guard up for attacks you don't know how to dodge is WAY better than eating the whole thing up. The amount of times I survived fatal blows in my successful attempt just by having my dragon slayer great katana guard broken is insane. Too bad I didn't had this insight in the lion's fight. Still don't know how to respond to half of Bayle's second phase attacks but that's more incentive for the next playthroughs. So far having a blast with this DLC 👌
