The lore behind Bayle missing a leg and his wings being ripped up is because of his rebellion against Dragonlord Placidusax. It is also the reason Placidusax is missing 3 heads**
What a battle to have left both Bayle and Placidusax so wounded and crippled Placidusax losing multiple heads, and Bayle getting a whole ass leg torn and his wings mauled to shit
Not summoning Igon is definitely a loss. It's his questline, and he's got some fun dialogue. It's the spectacle that sends this boss to the stratosphere
You can always do that on a second playthrough of the dlc. The satisfaction of beating this boss alone on a first playthrough is worth way more than any quest item.
Curse you Bayle! I hereby vow! You will rue this day! Behold, a true drake warrior! And I, Igon! Your fear made flesh! Solid of scale you might be, foul dragon... But i will riddle with holes your rotten hide! With a hail of harpoons! With every last drop of my being!
Bro has an epic monologue.... Just to spam dragon magic in the corner while bayle beats my ass worse than my dad when we're out of beer on the other side of the map....😭
@@adamtheriault6743 I don't think he's invincible. But like with Hornsent in the Messmer fight, you can't see Igon's healthbar. I've had Igon bite it mid fight a few times
Someone tell this man that Bayle is meant to be fought attacking his head from the front, like Midir. He's putting in all this effort in a playstyle that makes it infinitely harder than it needs to be
@@TheWindBlackall dragons are weak to headshots he’s not meant to be fought any specific way, but since he has very over the top attacks, using the ash of war on the dragon slayer great katana right on his head after a big attack from him is a smart option.
@TheWindBlack His head naturally rests low to the ground, and after most of his attack strings, he'll bring it down low as well. it's just about finding the openings and positioning yourself to be able to punish them
Little piece of lore, Dragonlord Placidusax and Bayle The Dread were rivals, Bayle took Placidusax's other three heads and his back wings, and Placidusax took Bayle's wings and leg... just so you know who you are messing with.
If you look closely enough, you can actually see one of Placidusax’s heads still clamped down biting on Bayle’s neck from their fight. Really cool detail
even crazier is that he's the grandpappy of all drakes (aka the non-ancient dragons with no front arms) and the oldest dragon alive, probably barring the oldest ancient dragons like placidusax
Afro, my man, as much as Bayle will do an abysmal amount of damage, you really need to stack up on those scadutree blessings. They serve to bolster your defense and attack more than people would like to admit. Having your blessings at just 10 will boost your stats by 50% so be sure to keep an eye out for them. I went from being nearly one-shotted by Bayle on his stronger attacks to being able to survive more than one, sometimes even taking three of those if I had enough vigor. Other bosses took even longer to kill me than I expected after facing them with more fragments than I had when facing them prior. Stack up on those. You don't have to search up youtube tutorials, but definitely explore a lot more. A little tip I learned was those shadowy enemies, those peasants that just walk around aimlessly, the ones with the shiny jars that try to run away typically carry important items. You might even run into a fragment in one of those jars.
I would also like to add that using the “opaline hardtear” in your flask and consuming boiled crab increases your physical damage negation by a combined 32%. Combine this with the “dragoncrest great shield” talisman and you bring that up to 45%.
Additionally, using golden vow brings that number to 51%.(keep in mind that this was tested without armor. Equipping armor would obviously increase your damage negation even more :)
@jubeisenju you sound like an unga bunga who gets a heart attack and a stroke to beat a boss. People like you who try to shame others for using magic or summons when they are mechanics the game gives you to use are the problem here keeping that stigma going
They reused a janky boss with insane camera issues without fixing those issues or the fact his head is barely ever open for a decent counter. Instead they added wave AoEs to every single lightning attack he has for artificial difficulty and called it a day. Oh, and no, it's not just the water. There are dry parts in his arena and AoEs still spread on them
I've seen a lot of content creators not wanting to summon things and I understand that, but I personally think that they've tuned this boss fight with summons in mind. All that aside you got this Afro!!!
You made him keep up the fight and possibly caused him to break his whole setup and get put into a mental asylum... but that's a tiny bump on the road for this series! Keep up the good work.
imo bayle is way easier , with decent blessing level . aside from the lazer his moves are lowk kind of easy , while messmer was just … i still spent a day going between them and had to sleep on it before bayle went down, then messer
@@KingMerrDG I agree Messmer took me about 6 -8 hours 💀 and felt like I was in a Pit. Even after winning it didn’t feel real. Found Bayle the next day and went “Ok Bayle is wayyy lighter then messer my god, After breakfast his ass is mine 😈” and beat him after 2 or 3 hours lol.
There’s a small part of me that hopes he never finds out. he’s actually managing to work his way through the DLC without leveling up on his first playthrough. Ngl I’m kinda impressed lol
@@renthehaghe’s not good enough. You gotta remember this guy quits on fair bosses. In this dlc you gotta the hardest bosses in fromsoft history even with the blessings.

Okay, but Bayle’s design is cold asl. Also you gotta lock in dawg, you behind in both story and you have little to no fragments to be safe to fight. Once again, you’re playing the game entirely different than it’s supposed to be, but I believe in you.

This is why I refuse to solo the Elden ring bosses of this dlc, I'm a bad player, but I refuse to waste the hours in order to get good, I beat the dlc, I'm happy, mad respect for you Afro, this is your choice, and I will watch from the sidelines and cheer you on, you and reax are the SUPERIOR Elden lords!
Thats absolutely fine. Nothing wrong with that. You clearly got the things you got. Spent time leveling and preparing for victory. You think the characters in the story dont do the same? Play the game how you want as long its fun for you.
@WorkedSix28zerozero1 I don't blame you, as long as we feel satisfied knowing that we still beat the dlc without actually cheating, than there's no issue
Absolutely. Don't let anyone tell you that "you're ruining the game" or that you should just "get good." You have the tools and the NPC summons to help, and not everybody want to spend four hours getting an aneurism trying to get past a difficult boss solo. Congratulations, man.
@@okami9039thats not true at all, most overrated boss is demon of hatred, no insult but demon of hatred had the most unorthodox but basic pattern of all time, first playthrough took me 10 tries, now i can do it with my eyes closed Its interesting that sekiro is regarded as one of the hardest souls but is rhythm based, everything is pretty much parryable and easy to learn, some people are either new to the mechanics and haven’t played anything similar or they get fear haxed and don’t learn anything because people on tiktok/youtube tell them the game is too hard, realistically its a learning game, at first its difficult but after you understand it, its easy Now contrast to souls bosses, they’re not like a rhythm, but more like a memorization game, what attack is it and how should i roll? Can i tank this attack or can I heal when he does this attack, its much harder since unlike sekiro, you wont have a consistent rhythm. I understand how people find demon of hatred hard since its not a tradtional rhythm based boss like the rest of the bosses, but its more that people don’t try to understand him, you have to be under him and don’t try to block his big ass hand which can easily be dodged, plus when he runs away from you he always does a meteor attack in first phase, or the arm swing/meteor dance in second phase, its pretty simple tbh.
Crazy how mfers switched up real quick in this dlc. Before it, people looking at you like this 🤨 when you use summons and now everyone getting mad when the community conditioned that using summons = noob and gets mad now when they’re not summoning 😂
@@aintcaughtlacking7076 Now that I think about it, yeah... I think over time, the newer players that joined in the series, overwhelmed the number of the usual Soulsborne players that mocks people for using summons, magics, etc- and it changed. Plus the voice acting alone for Igon is really good. You'd be missing out if you're not summoning them, and giving them your reaction towards said performance or something. People would want to see him react to the NPC. If they didn't summon them, they might not do the 2nd playthrough in which they did. So we're robbed of that.
@@aintcaughtlacking7076 that cuz igon is fun af to fight with mf pulls up with nothin but straight energy and talkin shit to a massive legendary dragon reminds me of onion man but more aggressive made me hype af fighting bayle
Afro, Firstly I’d like to say thank you for all these years being the most entertaining souls streamer and content creator out there on TH-cam. Your outbursts are quite honestly entertaining and relatable. Anybody in their right mind would act the same way towards some of these bosses😅 typical fromsoft Secondly, it was you who got me into the souls and god of war series and I ended up playing all of their games largely based off of the inspiration I developed from you whenever you defeated a boss. No summons, no help, all me. Nothing feels better in a souls game Thirdly, Bayle was the only boss in any game ever where I literally had a seizure because I was so upset I couldn’t beat him (I had prior medical issues that didn’t help any). But the fact is I beat him today, and nothing will be more satisfying in a fromsoft game than beating an iconic and rememberable boss. You motivated me so much throughout your elden ring play through that I beat malenia in 4 hours facing off with her wielding a simple frost infused banished knight greatsword. I don’t know if you read these, but if you did, I’m glad you’re not quitting this dlc because it’s “too hard”. I took it as a challenge, cause over the past 6 years of watching you I’ve established this type of grit you have to complete the obstacle put in front of me. Also just wanted to let you have some further motivation from a fan to destroy the rest of these dlc bosses, cause you inspired me to push past what may seem like an impossible task and complete it, in souls games and in real life👊
so screaming is entertaiment now? also dlc is easy. game journalists had it for real before from dumbed down most of the bosses before the release, lol. like the final boss was like twice harder than in retial version.
@@vault29a 200k+ views in 24 hours on a video for Elden Ring should be considered a success, so I guess screaming and raging is entertaining statistically. Also, glad to know someone who’s a dark souls expert. I bet if you uploaded those clips of you breezing through the dlc bosses you could achieve twice the success as Afro!
Afro: I AM THE ELDEN LORD!!!! 18:16 5 mins later- 22:56 Am I the only one who feel bad about the fact he was so determined to beat bayle only to have his confidence slowly shattered away one by one
Hey Afro, i wont lie the summon for this boss made the fight a much better experience! Bro spawns in hyping you up at the goat then starts talking mad shit to Bayle. 100/10 Voice acting, i died like 60+ times to him yet the homie was always there to hype me up!
Yo afro a lil tip: 1. bleed only effects things that CAN bleed so ancient dragons can't bleed bc they have stone skin. 2. you get bleed more often if you have higher arcane 3. you should get more buffs (like flame grant me strength) and switch around your talisman, id say check the elden ring wiki for more info about them PS - GET MORE STUFF FOR YOURE WONDEROUS PHYSICK, you should buff yourself all the time before a boss fight. Theres stuff like +10 strength or +10 dexterity
Just beat this guy yesterday and man was it an exhilirating fight. Summoning Igon just adds so much atmosphere to the battle, with Bayle doing all this crazy shit while Igon is screaming and cackling like a madman. God that was a fantastic boss.
I just wanna say, man, I absolutely adore your use of Majora’s Mask music. It’s my favorite game ever, and I think it fits so well with everything! Bayle’s arena reminds me of Stone Tower from that game, too. Love the content and beat Bayle myself today, so nice job!
Dont know if youll see Afro, but I finally finished my first plathrough tonight thanks to you! I just beat Malenia as well as Radagon and Elden Beast. Out of sheer hype for the DLC and for Elden Ring as a whole, if it werent for you dropping the Thanksgiving video back then I wouldnt have ever started back up my like 14 hour or so save back then. I recently landed my first job, gonna be getting the DLC with my first cheque 100%, keep up the amazing work man, you always got us cheering you on.
YOUR SHOULD REALLY NAME THE BUILD (The blood breaker because of its posture breaking and it's bleed potential I think the 2 words work very well together complimenting each other and all together just sounds cool, hope you see this afrosenju. And if you do I also want to say your one of my most favorite yter on this app, honestly your my favorite gamer and I love your play style and determination, good luck on that bayle boss I hated him to.)
I hate bayle only boss to take me more then 15 tries I died to him maybe 30 times and yes I play with no summons and if you do play with them you aren’t trash you just prefer to use them
Attack the head, summon Igon for Aggro, use Dragonwound Katana, Scarlet rot if you use the dragon arts and then be ready to dodge like crazy. It's a hard fight but he can be beat. Persevere! 💪🏾
Ur best bet is to start collecting the new stuff for progression afro. It'll take time but that'd the point it's a big open world they want you to explore an enjoy wat they made an be rewarded for it. It's a slow burn approach. Your not a bad player man. Your a badass
My brother in Christ I implore you, both for the safety of your mental capacity, your equipment, and now your furniture, to please return to the main area to search out for Scadutree fragments before coming back to Bayle. The Scadutree Fragments boost your attack and defense permanently while in the DLC. I seriously fear for your mental state if you drop another 20 minute video of you bashing your head against a boss in a game that wants you to go out into the world and search for upgrades upon finding a boss that one shots you with every attack.
go and explore, get new gear, get skibiditree fragments, use the grease made to kill dragons. afro: 👎 keep throwing yourself at the boss till it works. afro :👍
Ur supposed to summon him. And ik u had 3 ppl wit u 2 beat messmer on base ng0. Don't try to deny it or say u did something, cause I won't believe or listen to u.
Yall corny and weird for sitting here tryna tell someone how they should play the game. Stop being a judgmental hater and go play that way instead of commanding someone that they should be playing a certain way.
The lore behind Bayle missing a leg and his wings being ripped up is because of his rebellion against Dragonlord Placidusax. It is also the reason Placidusax is missing 3 heads**
Three heads actually... and you can see at least _two of them_ hanging onto Bayle's neck like a collar.

Now contrast to souls bosses, they’re not like a rhythm, but more like a memorization game, what attack is it and how should i roll? Can i tank this attack or can I heal when he does this attack, its much harder since unlike sekiro, you wont have a consistent rhythm.
I understand how people find demon of hatred hard since its not a tradtional rhythm based boss like the rest of the bosses, but its more that people don’t try to understand him, you have to be under him and don’t try to block his big ass hand which can easily be dodged, plus when he runs away from you he always does a meteor attack in first phase, or the arm swing/meteor dance in second phase, its pretty simple tbh.
@@Afrocypher9590lol, nice joke. If demon of hatred took you longer than 2 hours than thats just a learning issue
Yo mad probs to the fucking thumbnail artist man they pumping out fire art like crazy since Afro uploading every day. 👏👏
Afro getting one tapped after he said he was burnt out as soon as he sees the boss is comedy gold.
Bruh, I feel your pain.
Ngl I was rooting for Bayle the whole time cause you sidelined my boy Igon. Hope he makes you break some more expensive stuff next time.
Crazy how mfers switched up real quick in this dlc. Before it, people looking at you like this 🤨 when you use summons and now everyone getting mad when the community conditioned that using summons = noob and gets mad now when they’re not summoning 😂
@@aintcaughtlacking7076
Now that I think about it, yeah... I think over time, the newer players that joined in the series, overwhelmed the number of the usual Soulsborne players that mocks people for using summons, magics, etc- and it changed. Plus the voice acting alone for Igon is really good. You'd be missing out if you're not summoning them, and giving them your reaction towards said performance or something. People would want to see him react to the NPC. If they didn't summon them, they might not do the 2nd playthrough in which they did. So we're robbed of that.
@@aintcaughtlacking7076 that cuz igon is fun af to fight with mf pulls up with nothin but straight energy and talkin shit to a massive legendary dragon reminds me of onion man but more aggressive made me hype af fighting bayle
@aintcaughtlacking7076 its because igon is an awesome npc
Can someone explain igon to me and why is it cool to summon him
Afro,
Firstly I’d like to say thank you for all these years being the most entertaining souls streamer and content creator out there on TH-cam. Your outbursts are quite honestly entertaining and relatable. Anybody in their right mind would act the same way towards some of these bosses😅 typical fromsoft
Secondly, it was you who got me into the souls and god of war series and I ended up playing all of their games largely based off of the inspiration I developed from you whenever you defeated a boss. No summons, no help, all me. Nothing feels better in a souls game
Thirdly, Bayle was the only boss in any game ever where I literally had a seizure because I was so upset I couldn’t beat him (I had prior medical issues that didn’t help any).
But the fact is I beat him today, and nothing will be more satisfying in a fromsoft game than beating an iconic and rememberable boss. You motivated me so much throughout your elden ring play through that I beat malenia in 4 hours facing off with her wielding a simple frost infused banished knight greatsword.
I don’t know if you read these, but if you did, I’m glad you’re not quitting this dlc because it’s “too hard”. I took it as a challenge, cause over the past 6 years of watching you I’ve established this type of grit you have to complete the obstacle put in front of me. Also just wanted to let you have some further motivation from a fan to destroy the rest of these dlc bosses, cause you inspired me to push past what may seem like an impossible task and complete it, in souls games and in real life👊
Nobody reading allat
@@notthebees2950 20+ did
@@notthebees2950 I did
so screaming is entertaiment now? also dlc is easy. game journalists had it for real before from dumbed down most of the bosses before the release, lol. like the final boss was like twice harder than in retial version.
@@vault29a 200k+ views in 24 hours on a video for Elden Ring should be considered a success, so I guess screaming and raging is entertaining statistically. Also, glad to know someone who’s a dark souls expert. I bet if you uploaded those clips of you breezing through the dlc bosses you could achieve twice the success as Afro!
16:32 I'm calling it now this boss is way harder than Malenia.
Definitely harder than malenia, bayle took me about 123 attempts in total
"CURSE YOU Afro! For denying me vengeance" -Igon
Afro: I AM THE ELDEN LORD!!!!
18:16
5 mins later- 22:56
Am I the only one who feel bad about the fact he was so determined to beat bayle only to have his confidence slowly shattered away one by one
Afro, ngl bro, I just know this gonna be cinema, I'm READY
Afro is about to have nightmares of lightning and fire and a whole lot of screaming
My bro Afro now feels the same hatred for Bayle as Igon does.
The fact that hes got the DRAGON HUNTER KATANA on his back and hes fighting DRAGONS but still keeps using the backhand blades is funny
Hey Afro, i wont lie the summon for this boss made the fight a much better experience! Bro spawns in hyping you up at the goat then starts talking mad shit to Bayle. 100/10 Voice acting, i died like 60+ times to him yet the homie was always there to hype me up!
the intro already has me dead
the TURMOIL
Yo afro a lil tip:
1. bleed only effects things that CAN bleed so ancient dragons can't bleed bc they have stone skin.
2. you get bleed more often if you have higher arcane
3. you should get more buffs (like flame grant me strength) and switch around your talisman, id say check the elden ring wiki for more info about them
PS - GET MORE STUFF FOR YOURE WONDEROUS PHYSICK, you should buff yourself all the time before a boss fight. Theres stuff like +10 strength or +10 dexterity
Ancient dragons do bleed. Maybe take a look at the wiki next time before opening your mouth?
bro has not even investigated the blessings lmao, but its damn impressive!
Ayyy yyooooooo!!
28:13 “i’m seeing things” had me dying for a whole 5 minute to the point that i can’t breath.
just watching this physically hurt me so bad cant imagin the pain afro's going through. we are with you man we are with you. ;) ❤
Afro Rage is unmatched 🤣🤣🤣
You gotta summon Igon. He's the best NPC
Yesss sirrrrrrr Afro clutching with my eats tdyyyyy
Afro not using the weapon designed specifically for killing dragons while fighting dragons is such an Afro thing to do
Just beat this guy yesterday and man was it an exhilirating fight.
Summoning Igon just adds so much atmosphere to the battle, with Bayle doing all this crazy shit while Igon is screaming and cackling like a madman.
God that was a fantastic boss.
Afro, LEVEL UP YOUR SCADUTREE BLESSING. Youre making the game way harder than it needs to be.
You can actually see the missing head of placidusax on his neck
I just wanna say, man, I absolutely adore your use of Majora’s Mask music. It’s my favorite game ever, and I think it fits so well with everything! Bayle’s arena reminds me of Stone Tower from that game, too. Love the content and beat Bayle myself today, so nice job!
Dont know if youll see Afro, but I finally finished my first plathrough tonight thanks to you! I just beat Malenia as well as Radagon and Elden Beast. Out of sheer hype for the DLC and for Elden Ring as a whole, if it werent for you dropping the Thanksgiving video back then I wouldnt have ever started back up my like 14 hour or so save back then.
I recently landed my first job, gonna be getting the DLC with my first cheque 100%, keep up the amazing work man, you always got us cheering you on.
Beat this guy solo with the Bone bow the other day. Felt good. Best of luck fren.
don't talk if you done it in a new load game
There's nothing to be proud of😂
Whole crib upside down
0:59 Lmao this dlc brutal AF
I wonder how many don’t realize they are taking like 3x damage because of the water
That whole speech just to rage quit.
YOUR SHOULD REALLY NAME THE BUILD (The blood breaker because of its posture breaking and it's bleed potential I think the 2 words work very well together complimenting each other and all together just sounds cool, hope you see this afrosenju. And if you do I also want to say your one of my most favorite yter on this app, honestly your my favorite gamer and I love your play style and determination, good luck on that bayle boss I hated him to.)
Ik he’s gonna rage hella 😂
I hate bayle only boss to take me more then 15 tries I died to him maybe 30 times and yes I play with no summons and if you do play with them you aren’t trash you just prefer to use them
Did you go for the head?
Attack the head, summon Igon for Aggro, use Dragonwound Katana, Scarlet rot if you use the dragon arts and then be ready to dodge like crazy. It's a hard fight but he can be beat. Persevere! 💪🏾
0:01 wondering why you're seeing this comment? Its because TH-cam shows the comment on the timestamp
Wow....
Bayle got this man doing the Cupid shuffle at 26:54 lmao
Ur best bet is to start collecting the new stuff for progression afro. It'll take time but that'd the point it's a big open world they want you to explore an enjoy wat they made an be rewarded for it. It's a slow burn approach. Your not a bad player man. Your a badass
My brother in Christ I implore you, both for the safety of your mental capacity, your equipment, and now your furniture, to please return to the main area to search out for Scadutree fragments before coming back to Bayle. The Scadutree Fragments boost your attack and defense permanently while in the DLC. I seriously fear for your mental state if you drop another 20 minute video of you bashing your head against a boss in a game that wants you to go out into the world and search for upgrades upon finding a boss that one shots you with every attack.
23:50 had me dying
go and explore, get new gear, get skibiditree fragments, use the grease made to kill dragons. afro: 👎
keep throwing yourself at the boss till it works. afro :👍
Summoning Igon makes him give some crazy monologue
It’s crazy how strong he is for missing a leg an his wings being heavily damaged
Why did you not summon him, it's elden ring not dark souls play the game not the name,you aren't even the name but the legacy of the game.
It’s still a souls game
@@Kingcrimson_1456 nah its a elden ring game
He didn’t summon cuz he’s not a bum.
Ur supposed to summon him. And ik u had 3 ppl wit u 2 beat messmer on base ng0. Don't try to deny it or say u did something, cause I won't believe or listen to u.
Yall corny and weird for sitting here tryna tell someone how they should play the game. Stop being a judgmental hater and go play that way instead of commanding someone that they should be playing a certain way.
@14:19 bro got the LOOT smacked outta him 😂😂😂
The progression of AfroSenju going from this boss ain’t even that bad to “I’m bout to crash out” 😂😂😭😭
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️…
When he said "we need DLC to see him at full strength" while referring to Bayle. I laughed knowing what's coming
I love how you have an actual katana made specially for killing dragons and instead u use two tooth picks with the range of a pinky 😂
