@@impatientimp3292 If he can even hit the dragon. A lot of the time Igon will use Dragon Communion incants but no where near Bayle due to how much ground the dragon covers. Sometimes he'll fire his harpoon but it'll often miss due to again how much Bayle moves.

Bayle is a Drake, a really damn powerful one, but a drake through and through. The dragons have 4 legs (the 2 in the front are used more like arms more often) and separate wings on the back. This classification is consistent in many games and media. TLDR: Bayley is a Drake, not a dragon
It actually feels like it's Igon who is haunting Bayle, not the opposite. Imagine you are a severely injured dragon that just fries a hunter that hard, that he cannot even walk, and then this hunter's ghostly figure appears with another hunter, who is even stronger, and screams at you

The man who felt fear and dread, traumatized and broken by the dragon, fights him again. Nearly to tears when it’s over. The embodiment of courage “to act in spite of his fear” to fight against his trauma. “You shall haunt me, no longer”
I think what makes his performance so incredibly enjoyable to listen to is that as you start suffering from the raging madness of all the failed attempts, this is generally the range you start to hit lol, so its just incredibly like: yes, he gets it, and we are in this together XD he's just such an awesome supporting guy, "a true drake warrior, and I, Igon", hes like we in this together, and I think that's beautiful lol
@@scorpiowarrior7841 That whole Bayle fight is also quite a spectacle with all the lightning and flames around you. I'm honestly putting that battle off to finish it later. It feels like Bayle and Igon deserve that.
It’s the genuine hatred and anger in his voice that gets me. This is the voice of a man that has done this fight many many times. And he shall have his revenge.
I know I'm gonna get foamed for this, but I ended up killing Igon before starting his quest because I didn't know that he did anything and I wanted his armor. Please don't hate me, next run I won't kill him.
Igon is the best NPC in the history of souls. The embodiment of the player, that after dying countless times to the mighty boss, always come back angrier and cussing for the whole fight. That's totally me
@@audreyrewinded yea, I will. I have the seeker of fire mod that makes it genuinely good and also better than 3. But then I realize it's not Elden Ring and I go to play Elden Ring
Man basically screamed "FROM HELL'S HEART I STAB AT THEE, WITH MY LAST BREATH I SPIT AT THEE" in his battle speech. I'm genuinely shocked it took this long for someone to ask: "what if Captain Ahab hunted dragons?"
"Bayle the Dread, You shall Haunt me no longer" Rest in peace brother, your revenge has been avenged, your pain and sadness are no longer with you, the nightmare is over
@@YOOT_JJBritish extras always end up being the best actors out there, I’m glad the localisation team of the FS always gives chances to actors like this instead of going with established ones of the industry. Not only does it save them money, but it also prevents repetition within the industry, gives smaller actors the spotlight, and gives us performances like this.
@@SalvageET i think because fromsoft world is fillled with a lot of minor characters with minor character arcs, so they could afford more risks. Like if Igon VA fumbled it then oh well , no big deal just another character . But when it hits right you have....results like this. With more major characters such as Sekiro Wolf that speaks from beginning to the end of the game i think they went with more established name...not like Sekiro needed a lot of performance with how emotionless he is hehe.
@@rustyhammer1037 You just reminded me that Igon could never top Sellen feet 😢. Now I cannot honestly say anymore that Igon is the best NPC and it's all your fault.
@@alinalisan3361I dont know if its just a coincidence but the names Bayle the Dread and Igon kinda reminds a little bit of Balerion the Black Dread and Aegon
@@alinalisan3361 Igon and dragons. Aegon and dragons. Coincidence? I think not! It's plausible this storyline was written years ago, before the release of the base game. After all Bayle has a deep connection with Placidusax, which is part of the lore of thousands of years ago, which is part of the material George wrote. Maybe he didn't write Igon's dialogue, but could very well have been involved in the concepts of Bayle and some Ahab type character looking for revenge
Absolutely massive kudos to Richard Lintern for this amazing performance. It takes _a lot_ to completely steal the stage presence when your co-star is basically Dragon Satan, but he went and did exactly just that. Hope we'll see more of him in the future. 👏👏👏
@@victorprati7908 The first time I did this fight was with a greatbow too! I was freaking stoked to see Igon firing away at him! I was bummed to find out about the scaling of his greatbow though...
I think the amazing part about Igon is that alongside how much he hypes us up for this fight and helps us, we are also helping him. This is a quest for retribution, and when it's done we brought Igon's soul peace. It's literally as he says, his body is broken beyond repair but his spirit endures to fight with us. It's one of the most beautiful NPC questlines From has done and despite Igon dying it's a very happy and cathartic ending for his questline.
Agreed. Everyone likes to say how depressing most Souls NPCs are and how their questlines often end in a tragedy, but Igon (like Alexander for example) gets to go out with peace of mind, which is enough to make it a "good ending" to me.
There was a comment I saw that I fully agree with. With how a lot of NPC questlines end typically in fromsoft games, Igon and Ansbach have the two most legit "Good" endings to their quests. Both ultimately are about retribution and they both achieve it in the end with your help, and pass away with their souls at rest for doing what was right.
@@vermillion6159it’s the ending Igon would have wanted. And it’s the ends he’ll always get if I can help it. I will move demigods and outer gods to make it so.
The timing of many of the lines was well synced with the music, specially 'There is life in me yet", the laugh before the "piteous Igon" part and his final laugh. Also love how in the "piteous Igon" part you can tell he's pushing away his pain by putting on a mask of bravado and laughing louder and louder.
I think the way they built up Bayle and how he looks, his whole level, the jagged peaks, the closer you get to the summit the more intense the atmosphere and of course Igon, makes him the scariest boss in elden ring, maybe all of fromsoft's games. Even the way he shows up at the arena is terrifying!
I usually try to solo bosses without summons, but after a while I realized this boss was too frustrating to be fought alone so I decided to summon this guy, and BOY am I glad I did. Definitely feels like the way the boss is intended to be fought.
To be honest I'm still too proud to summon him. But I maked a compromise with myself : if I'm able to nearly defeat Bayle at least 2-3 times with a flask left ,than I'm sure I'm able to defeat him solo. This way I had it my way but I also wouldn't miss out this amazing NPC.
as far as I am concerned any summon who's sign is actively *inside* the boss arena, (Igon at Bayle, Hornsent and Jolan at Messmer, Thollier at the putrescent knight etc. .) are fair game, they are *meant* to be summoned as the fight is part of their character arc
@@jacobdoswalt yeah I only found out about Jolan recently, but I had Hornsent with me for the fight, not sure exactly where you need to talk to him to trigger it, but his sign was there for me
1:57 ngl it seems like Igon is on a brink of becoming mad. Btt seriously, I can't help but imagine him looking in his reflection in a small water pool in the mud, such an incredible delivery
It's crazy how Hornsent, the guy who is also entirely about wanting revenge on a boss, and even has mid-fight dialogue too, has so much less of an impact on people. That's the power of voice acting. Hornsent sounds angry. Igon sounds desperate, full of loathing, and absolutely insane. One of them feels like they could be anyone that desires revenge, and the other is Captain Ahab but dragons
Plus, we as the players are given information about Hornsent's people, how they in turn acted as monstrous as the war that killed his family; his revenge isn't righteous. It's petty, gratuituous violence. Plus, he turns on us as soon as we see Marika's grace guide us to Rauh. Safe to say the Hornsent just wants to kill and spill Erdtree faithful blood, while Igon is only set on avenging what Bayle did to him and Placidusax alike, and sticks with us until the bitter end. Two very different characters, but both very very well written.
Igon’s quest holds a special place in my heart for these lines alone. Another thing I like about this quest with Igon to slay Bayle is that towards the end we see how both Igon and Bayle are beings of pure, unadulterated hatred, clashing with intense fury. Just as much as Igon hates Bayle, the dragon hates him and the rest of his coven tenfold. The furious anger the soundtrack projects proves this to be true. In a way, both Igon and Bayle are the same. Bayle tried to slay Placidusax, was mortally wounded in the ensuing clash, and inevitably flew away to the shadowlands in fear of his demise. The same as Igon fell from the mountain in a clash with the mad dragon, terribly wounded both mentally and physically, and crawled just outside the grave plains. All on a quest to slay Bayle for his cult. The same cult that was invented purely to kill Bayle for his crimes. Igon is no dragon, yet he hates Bayle just as intensely as Bayle does Placidusax. Maybe this quest is a commentary on how hatred can only be followed by more hatred, no matter its origin. Or how man’s hatred can reach such extremes that it matches the temper of dragons Igon despises Bayle yet bears so much hatred, enough to match that of Bayle that he himself becomes the very thing he hates. Hatred born from anger can lead you to become the very thing you hate. Whatever the case, I have probably read to deeply into both. He’s just a dude trying to slay a dragon… what’s more metal than that?
he consumes dragon hearts and do dragon communion no? that means if he doesn't die he would eventually turn into a dragon like Bayle, seeting with as much hatred. He literally becomes the thing he hates, good thing he perished at the end of the it huh .
@@mauauauauaua14 He'd turn into wyrm, cursed to forewer crawl on his belly. Because how else would path to obtain strenght of dragons end, than with you becoming a dragon yourself?
This guy is the only reason I used the summon during the fight. I needed to let that man have his vengeance and it was SO WORTH IT! CURRRRRSEEE YOU BAYLEEEEEE
I gave up on the dlc. I really wanted elden ring to be the first souls game I finally beat, but I gave up due to the difficulty spike at the start of the dlc. But hearing the absolute madlad Igon cackle in the face of his fear makes me feel some kind of resolve deep in my chest. Man was beaten into nothing, and still managed to find the strength to keep fighting, so I'll do the same
Just make a mad dash for some of the early scardutree fragments, that will help you a lot. I can understand if you don't like guides, but you could check a video to get the ones you can pick right away without going in to any legacy dungeon or advancing the story, with that you can easily reach lvl. 5 in like 10 minutes.
You can still farm runes in base game and get stronger, don't give up yet! Even it you go way over levelled it's fine. Get some more levels and upgrade your stuff, you can even summon and have a blast with coop. It's your journey, take it slow one step at a time you don't have to make it difficult and unenjoyable for yourself. Try dex-arc + rivers of blood, most enemies and bosses suffers bleeding a lot, that katana has fire damage too. I believe in you!

"Your fears made Flesh"
@@titiansenjaya3432 your soul made flesh
The man who felt fear and dread, traumatized and broken by the dragon, fights him again. Nearly to tears when it’s over. The embodiment of courage “to act in spite of his fear” to fight against his trauma.
“You shall haunt me, no longer”
Local man literally too angry to die, too determined to be crippled, too vengeful to not curse,
I think what makes his performance so incredibly enjoyable to listen to is that as you start suffering from the raging madness of all the failed attempts, this is generally the range you start to hit lol, so its just incredibly like: yes, he gets it, and we are in this together XD he's just such an awesome supporting guy, "a true drake warrior, and I, Igon", hes like we in this together, and I think that's beautiful lol
I enjoyed evrey second of bale because of Igon ngl
@@scorpiowarrior7841 That whole Bayle fight is also quite a spectacle with all the lightning and flames around you. I'm honestly putting that battle off to finish it later. It feels like Bayle and Igon deserve that.
It’s the genuine hatred and anger in his voice that gets me. This is the voice of a man that has done this fight many many times. And he shall have his revenge.
I read this comment in the most perfect way!
Right when I was at "a true drake warrior..." Igor exactly began to say it !! It was amazing!
I know I'm gonna get foamed for this, but I ended up killing Igon before starting his quest because I didn't know that he did anything and I wanted his armor. Please don't hate me, next run I won't kill him.
Igon is the best NPC in the history of souls. The embodiment of the player, that after dying countless times to the mighty boss, always come back angrier and cussing for the whole fight. That's totally me

“CURSE YOU, WHALE!”
Man basically screamed "FROM HELL'S HEART I STAB AT THEE, WITH MY LAST BREATH I SPIT AT THEE" in his battle speech. I'm genuinely shocked it took this long for someone to ask: "what if Captain Ahab hunted dragons?"
"With a hail of harpoons!" That is certainly that Ahab energy.
Exactly what I was going to say.
"Bayle the Dread, You shall Haunt me no longer"
Rest in peace brother, your revenge has been avenged, your pain and sadness are no longer with you, the nightmare is over

We as a society need to nominate this man for best VA in the game awards
Richard Lintern, British TV Actor. Apparently this was his first role in a video game
@@YOOT_JJBritish extras always end up being the best actors out there, I’m glad the localisation team of the FS always gives chances to actors like this instead of going with established ones of the industry. Not only does it save them money, but it also prevents repetition within the industry, gives smaller actors the spotlight, and gives us performances like this.
@@SalvageET i think because fromsoft world is fillled with a lot of minor characters with minor character arcs, so they could afford more risks. Like if Igon VA fumbled it then oh well , no big deal just another character . But when it hits right you have....results like this. With more major characters such as Sekiro Wolf that speaks from beginning to the end of the game i think they went with more established name...not like Sekiro needed a lot of performance with how emotionless he is hehe.
Most sane From Software NPC
Igon is literally me for real in the DLC, playing as a disabled man with only rage as fuel against the pain of 1-2 shot bosses.
Fire and real

You can feel the intensity of Igon’s hatred. This VA needs an award.

@@rustyhammer1037 You just reminded me that Igon could never top Sellen feet 😢. Now I cannot honestly say anymore that Igon is the best NPC and it's all your fault.
@@alinalisan3361I dont know if its just a coincidence but the names Bayle the Dread and Igon kinda reminds a little bit of Balerion the Black Dread and Aegon
@@alinalisan3361 Igon and dragons. Aegon and dragons. Coincidence? I think not!
It's plausible this storyline was written years ago, before the release of the base game. After all Bayle has a deep connection with Placidusax, which is part of the lore of thousands of years ago, which is part of the material George wrote. Maybe he didn't write Igon's dialogue, but could very well have been involved in the concepts of Bayle and some Ahab type character looking for revenge
If you don't Summon Igon (if you can), you can't call you an Elden Ring fan
Real, Solaire in DS1 and Onion in Yhorm too

Personally I didn't even summon him for the help, I just did it to hear him.
@@dbroking8996as it should be
@@dbroking8996 same man he hyped me up whole fight i tried to protect him cause i wanted him to see end of it (he did)
On release date, when i first met this guy with all that screaming, there's a message near his body that says "Probably out of stamina".
Saw that too lmao
With those lungs? Nah, he has a few more breaths in him.
Saw that one too lmao
I like to think that Igon is Fromsoft's tribute to the anguish, rage, and ultimate elation their fans experience from their games' toughest fights.
Absolutely massive kudos to Richard Lintern for this amazing performance. It takes _a lot_ to completely steal the stage presence when your co-star is basically Dragon Satan, but he went and did exactly just that. Hope we'll see more of him in the future. 👏👏👏
Tarnished: *BAAAAYYYYYYLLLLLEEEE YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME I'LL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!!!!*
Kept thinking of that listening to Igon. I even said that while fighting Bayle

@@Idea_of_LustreGRAAAAAAAAAAAARGH BAYLE THE DREAD
YOU SHALL HUNT ME NO LONGER
no matter how much this guy got paid it wasnt enough
I think the amazing part about Igon is that alongside how much he hypes us up for this fight and helps us, we are also helping him. This is a quest for retribution, and when it's done we brought Igon's soul peace. It's literally as he says, his body is broken beyond repair but his spirit endures to fight with us. It's one of the most beautiful NPC questlines From has done and despite Igon dying it's a very happy and cathartic ending for his questline.
Agreed. Everyone likes to say how depressing most Souls NPCs are and how their questlines often end in a tragedy, but Igon (like Alexander for example) gets to go out with peace of mind, which is enough to make it a "good ending" to me.
There was a comment I saw that I fully agree with. With how a lot of NPC questlines end typically in fromsoft games, Igon and Ansbach have the two most legit "Good" endings to their quests. Both ultimately are about retribution and they both achieve it in the end with your help, and pass away with their souls at rest for doing what was right.
@@vermillion6159it’s the ending Igon would have wanted. And it’s the ends he’ll always get if I can help it. I will move demigods and outer gods to make it so.
It’s also one of the only ones where you don’t have to google where the hell he is he’s just in spots that make sense
That little sob at the end of the last line though 😭I will get revenge for Igon no matter how many playthroughs I do
Based
The timing of many of the lines was well synced with the music, specially 'There is life in me yet", the laugh before the "piteous Igon" part and his final laugh. Also love how in the "piteous Igon" part you can tell he's pushing away his pain by putting on a mask of bravado and laughing louder and louder.
Love that everyone agrees that Igon is simply the best npc Fromsoft has ever came up with
on par with solaire

Congrats to Igon for being the first person from Shadow of the Erdtree to have their theme reach 1 million views!

"I WILL SOON FEAST UPON YOUR HEART" is one of the hardest lines of this game
You forgot BEAR WITNESS
@@sviatoslavvolosko3393 nah Godrick is too much of a pansy ass willow,
@@sviatoslavvolosko3393That line comes from the literal most pathetic character in the game tho.
The best part is that was literally his intention, to eat Bayle's heart, zero hyperbole
the message before meeting igon the first time was : "edge ahead, therefore, be wary of seed"
A future classic
VA of the year ngl
I think the way they built up Bayle and how he looks, his whole level, the jagged peaks, the closer you get to the summit the more intense the atmosphere and of course Igon, makes him the scariest boss in elden ring, maybe all of fromsoft's games. Even the way he shows up at the arena is terrifying!
Crazy how well his dialog meshes well with Bayle's theme.
I usually try to solo bosses without summons, but after a while I realized this boss was too frustrating to be fought alone so I decided to summon this guy, and BOY am I glad I did. Definitely feels like the way the boss is intended to be fought.
Agreed
To be honest I'm still too proud to summon him. But I maked a compromise with myself : if I'm able to nearly defeat Bayle at least 2-3 times with a flask left ,than I'm sure I'm able to defeat him solo. This way I had it my way but I also wouldn't miss out this amazing NPC.
as far as I am concerned any summon who's sign is actively *inside* the boss arena, (Igon at Bayle, Hornsent and Jolan at Messmer, Thollier at the putrescent knight etc. .) are fair game, they are *meant* to be summoned as the fight is part of their character arc
@@The_Beverage_Stand YOU CAN SUMMON HORNSENT AND JOLAN AT MESSMER!!??
@@jacobdoswalt yeah I only found out about Jolan recently, but I had Hornsent with me for the fight, not sure exactly where you need to talk to him to trigger it, but his sign was there for me
3:06 Holy fuck that's badass... ''WITH EVERY LAST DROP OF MY BEING!'' ...and then the music DROPS like a BOMB after that!🔥
Nice pre-workout.
What a coincidence I'm at gym
Going into rehab tomorrow to face my Bayle. Watching for motivation
You can do it!! Life is great sober 🎉🎉
Conjure your past, how once you were. When substances were yet foreign to you
You’ve got this
Can we also appreciate how the creator was able to put Igon's voicelines over the OST in such a way that made it sound stunningly epic and beautiful
Imagine telling the embodiment of Dread that it will know fear
Goes so fucking hard
dont care what people think, im going to always summon igon for the fight with bayle. *BAYLE VILE BAYLE*
Understandable
I've yet to meet anyone who would dissaprove fighting Bayle with Igon.
1:57 ngl it seems like Igon is on a brink of becoming mad. Btt seriously, I can't help but imagine him looking in his reflection in a small water pool in the mud, such an incredible delivery
Not gonna lie i thought he was mad the second i met him😂😂😂I’m with you though, some of the best dialogue in the game
"Brink" bruh hes already off the cliff lol
At the brink? He fully mad in pain and vengance
You don't climb a mountain with 2 broken legs and 1 broken arm, fueled by nothing but blind rage, and get to also be a sane man.
Igon is Bayle in human form, they are in the same phisycal conditions
This is what plays on my headphones when I'm at the gym
I tried it and got like a 3x strength boost
"I will soon feast upon your heart" has made me finish sets that I would have otherwise failed
Gotta be real with you chief, I almost tapped out from this vid with the Oooohhhhh and Aaaahhhhhh included, but I'm glad I stuck it out
Yeah me too. Was kinda put off for a minute
It just isn't the same without his agonizing moans of pain.
You hear these moans everytime you teleport to the site of grace near him. He is surrounded by messages suggesting masturbation.
His entire quote during Bayle's fight is just pure unadulterated motivation and meme material
1:00 literal goosebumps, really seems like this is more a theme for Igon than for bayle
Igon’s switch from wailing in agony to screaming with pure avarice when we first encounter sold me on this guy. One of my favorite Elden Ring NPCs
1:46 the moment the villain reveals his master plan
It's crazy how Hornsent, the guy who is also entirely about wanting revenge on a boss, and even has mid-fight dialogue too, has so much less of an impact on people. That's the power of voice acting. Hornsent sounds angry. Igon sounds desperate, full of loathing, and absolutely insane. One of them feels like they could be anyone that desires revenge, and the other is Captain Ahab but dragons
Well VA and dialogue are just on an other level and igon doesnt invade you like a lil cunt After you helped him achieve his goal
Plus, we as the players are given information about Hornsent's people, how they in turn acted as monstrous as the war that killed his family; his revenge isn't righteous. It's petty, gratuituous violence. Plus, he turns on us as soon as we see Marika's grace guide us to Rauh. Safe to say the Hornsent just wants to kill and spill Erdtree faithful blood, while Igon is only set on avenging what Bayle did to him and Placidusax alike, and sticks with us until the bitter end.
Two very different characters, but both very very well written.
0:51 HELLLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHHHH
CURSE YOU BAAAAALLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
AAAAAAAAAAUAUUAUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
🤣🙏🔥💖
I love that Igons weapon art is just fucking screaming while you shoot the bow
Igon’s quest holds a special place in my heart for these lines alone.
Another thing I like about this quest with Igon to slay Bayle is that towards the end we see how both Igon and Bayle are beings of pure, unadulterated hatred, clashing with intense fury. Just as much as Igon hates Bayle, the dragon hates him and the rest of his coven tenfold. The furious anger the soundtrack projects proves this to be true.
In a way, both Igon and Bayle are the same. Bayle tried to slay Placidusax, was mortally wounded in the ensuing clash, and inevitably flew away to the shadowlands in fear of his demise. The same as Igon fell from the mountain in a clash with the mad dragon, terribly wounded both mentally and physically, and crawled just outside the grave plains. All on a quest to slay Bayle for his cult. The same cult that was invented purely to kill Bayle for his crimes. Igon is no dragon, yet he hates Bayle just as intensely as Bayle does Placidusax. Maybe this quest is a commentary on how hatred can only be followed by more hatred, no matter its origin.
Or how man’s hatred can reach such extremes that it matches the temper of dragons
Igon despises Bayle yet bears so much hatred, enough to match that of Bayle that he himself becomes the very thing he hates.
Hatred born from anger can lead you to become the very thing you hate.
Whatever the case, I have probably read to deeply into both. He’s just a dude trying to slay a dragon…
what’s more metal than that?
he consumes dragon hearts and do dragon communion no? that means if he doesn't die he would eventually turn into a dragon like Bayle, seeting with as much hatred. He literally becomes the thing he hates, good thing he perished at the end of the it huh .
@@mauauauauaua14 He'd turn into wyrm, cursed to forewer crawl on his belly.
Because how else would path to obtain strenght of dragons end, than with you becoming a dragon yourself?
Goddamned chills, man. The OST AND the speech together make for a high point in gaming.
This guy is the only reason I used the summon during the fight. I needed to let that man have his vengeance and it was SO WORTH IT! CURRRRRSEEE YOU BAYLEEEEEE
If Igon has a thousand fans I am his greatest, if Igon has one fan it is me, if Igon has no fans I am dead...

The problem is the West Country English accent. Do you really want a guts who sounds like that? 😂
@@liamwright2510 yes
It's pretty much guts in the black swordsman arc and also lost children arc
I will never NOT summon Igon for this fight! Dude put his entire soul into this performance and it paid off!
CURSE YOU BAYLE!
Holy shit, this is the best shit I've heard/watched. Had goosebumps the whole 3.5 minutes. Crazy voiceacting.
I gave up on the dlc. I really wanted elden ring to be the first souls game I finally beat, but I gave up due to the difficulty spike at the start of the dlc. But hearing the absolute madlad Igon cackle in the face of his fear makes me feel some kind of resolve deep in my chest. Man was beaten into nothing, and still managed to find the strength to keep fighting, so I'll do the same
Just make a mad dash for some of the early scardutree fragments, that will help you a lot. I can understand if you don't like guides, but you could check a video to get the ones you can pick right away without going in to any legacy dungeon or advancing the story, with that you can easily reach lvl. 5 in like 10 minutes.
The pain…. The exquisite pain
You can still farm runes in base game and get stronger, don't give up yet!
Even it you go way over levelled it's fine. Get some more levels and upgrade your stuff, you can even summon and have a blast with coop.
It's your journey, take it slow one step at a time you don't have to make it difficult and unenjoyable for yourself.
Try dex-arc + rivers of blood, most enemies and bosses suffers bleeding a lot, that katana has fire damage too. I believe in you!
I'm feeling exactly this for the final boss of the DLC. He's breaking me, but I don't want to disappoint Igon.
My brother found Igon and said “he’s gooning” not to mention all the edging messages.
I want to go home, and edge
offer rump
Offer egde and then brief respite
*erudition*
Have you read Igon’s loincloth item description? He fear busted the first time he fought Bayle
Edge ahead
