Something odd to note: all the greatest dragons we fought were not even in ther prime but actually damaged. We fight Kalameet after Gouh sniped him, we fight Sinh, imapled. We fight Midir after we toss him down the chasm, his wings are riddled with holes. we fight Placidusax while he is missing around 3 heads and we fight Bayle who lost an arm and a leg. still good fights.

[@99JDT]

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.

[@sasaki999pro]

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 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

[@DonAndrew]

@@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

[@TheGloryAngel]

You know you were have a good times when you automatically recall all the title and dragon's name from previous Soul games in your head XD

Bayle is literally the spiritual successor of Midir, and it's awesome because Midir is an awesome boss 1)Wounded but unbroken 2)scary melee combos 3)explosions and projectiles in phase 2 4)IMMA FIREN MY LAZORRR Everything checks out. It's Midir 2.0 - Elden Boogaloo

[@kaiser9598]

the phase transition of Bayle is pure perfection

[@TheAvengingSon]

i still think that dark eater Midir is the most epic and tragic one

[@elchompo5678]

I think the bayle fight is one of my favorites from the dlc, the scale of the fight is so cool, and bayles design is so menacing

[@The-Omega-Blade]

Igoat makes me happy when he's giving me a warcry for Bahh the Sheep

[@Dino-zg2kg]

0:05 pfff Not femboy bathwater lol

[@BayleGlazer]

After fighting this boss just 2 times now, he has become the peak of gaming for me A beautiful, spectacular, awesome, fun, creative dragon that could not have been done any better 10/10 boss, genuine perfection

[@Oveyz]

Please come help me fight him, he nukes me at the door Y_Y

[@pelb_]

i just find it funny that they make it that you have to kill the random 2 dragons that can accidentally 1 shot you with a wisp of fire in order to get Igon as a summon

[@brianquijada6574]

Friendly reminder, all the dragons we love from the past are from DLCs. It's the FromSoft trademark that the best dragon fight is always left for the DLC

[@ravelordnito478]

Oh yea getting to watch Bayle do a 50 attack combo and you hitting him twice is totally comparable to kalameet lol

[@pmslevelboss]

Miyazaki started trolling players with Darkeater Midir. You need to flawlessly avoid a barrage of attacks for 5 min to beat a optional boss.

[@GikamesShadow]

I am not the biggest fan of the dragon fights but even I must say I can appreciate them a whole damn lot. You can tell that they went from "We were limited by the engine" to "Ok this is going places" to "Holy crap yes" to "CURSE YOU BAYLE!" Just upgrade after upgrade after upgrade. And hey Kalameet was effing cool for the engine it was limited by. But compared to the newer ones and what they are capable of? Man, Kalameet more like Kalaweak. Ima just... see myself out for that one.

[@GuardianJayhawk]

Whatever it is they paid Igon's voice actor, it is wasn't enough for that masterpiece of a performance. He easily trumps everyone in the game with just a handful of lines.

[@Rock_chewer]

CCCUUUUURRRRSSSSSEEEE YOU BBAAALLLLEE!!!!!! I HEREBY VOW YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY!!!! BEHOLD, A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR AND I IGON!!! YOUR FEARS MADE FLESH! SOLID OF SCALE YOU MIGHT BE FOUL DRAGON, BUT I WILL RIDDLE HOLES YOUR ROTTEN HIDE, WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS!!!!! WITH EVERY LAST DROP OF MY BEING!!!!!!

[@sariathebrave5259]

The only thing that would make this better is a cutscene showing Igon walking in with you and him monologuing about Bayle. Reminiscent of Catarina dude and Yhorm.
