  • Bayle the dread is a challenging legend-type dragon boss in Elden Ring's new DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. In this video I show you how to deal with Bayle attacks and how I beat him easily (no summons) using the Dragon Hunter's Great Katana with its powerful weapon skill, the Dragonwound slash.

      You’re intended to fight him from there that’s why he takes extra dmg to the head. They don’t want ya just chipping away at his tail or legs because it’s a little boring to do it that way.

    The dragon lady says that Bayle had betrayed Placidusax and had fled away in fear of him so I thought I'd use placidusax's ruin on him. And I could see why Bayle feared him because it chews through his hp very quickly

    I don't understand how this video doesn't come up when you look for a strategy to defeat Bayle. I was around level 200 and summoned Igon and the mimic tear just for the flavour of it and because I thought I would have died some more times. But no, I destroyed Bayle.

    Just downed him no summons/ashes. What helped me alot was switching out great jar's arsenal for Dragoncrest greatshield talisman plus the fire resist +3 talisman and lightning resist +3 talisman. Then I just put on a very light chestpiece that still had high elemental resistance. Dual Great Stars bonk build apart from that which both staggered and procced bleed which was helpful

    To anyone still struggling my build was rakshaka boots and gloves, black dumpling helmet, blackgaol chest piece. Then I used golden bow, flame grant, unendurable frenzy and black knife with mimic tear. Let mimic use black knife and just get behind bayle and strategically use UF and you’ll be fine eventually

    To anyone whos struggling: use Scarlet Aeonia!
    it takes only two hits (1 if ur lucky) to get the dot on the boss which deals more then a 3rd of its health over time. It might be tricky to land at first but you can get the hang of it in 5 tries or so. I think its the best single spell against him

    Only thing that is hard about Bayle is that the lock on is his head and its so hard to hit because he wont stop moving and he lifts his head all the time. But when you hit the body you do no damage. Why cant I lock on his feet?

  • @spoony8485
    @spoony8485 8 дней назад

    This boss was close to being my favorite in the DLC, at least when fighting the first phase and not getting RNG rolled by the second. All of the attacks were solid and telegraphable, not insanely long combos like every other boss in the DLC, a solid window between attacks so you can actually damage him, and some beautiful looking moves (like alot of the dragon boss fights). But once I spent enough time with the second phase I started to really hate him, for 2 big reasons. The first is that, there is so much visual sludge on the screen during the second phase you can barely fucking see anything. Alot of the moves seem similar to placidusax, but just 2x more shit on the screen. And the second is that, during the second phase, he chains his attacks together way more often than the first, so its pretty likely that you will just have gotten hit by a fucking nuke, then he flys up in the air and spams 2 lasers on you, then chains that attack with a long distance fire breath. Really a shame, but at least the fight is fun when you have igon as a summon

    Still haven’t beaten him, I’m stubborn and I’m trying to beat him without using ash of wars, just r1 and r2s, I’m stupid I know, but I got his first stage down.

    • @WilstormGaming
      @WilstormGaming  Месяц назад

      Nice, that will be tough. If that's the case can I suggest using charged R2s primarily and equip the Axe talisman, two handed talisman, and spiked crystal tear. With colossal weapons/swords or any 'great' class of weapon (halberds work okay too), this is kinda quietly super powerful and you can play the entire game easily with this core build. Charged R2s will do massive stance damage and let alone massive damage themselves.

    @CatChat240p 2 часа назад

    My biggest tips.
    Use a pierce weapon on his head. He takes more damage from pierce than any other damage type and his head takes extra damage.
    Lock on.
    His head is his most dangerous part and the easier tell of his attacks.
    Check my channel for a Bayle kill before Phase 2 without somber weapons or spells for proof I know what I speak of.

    I just beat it after 40 minutes thanks to this guide with the Backhand Blades. The worst thing for me in this fight is that you can only lock on the head, so I couldn't hit him after dodging his attacks most of the times. And when I didn't lock on, I couldn't see his attacks... very spectacular fight and all but very bad design... you should be able to lock to the leg or the body or something...

    terrible fight in my opinion, i struggle more with the camera than with the boss itself, fighting midir in dark sould 3 was much more complex but better because the camera wasn t this shit and he lowered the head more after specific combos. I m used to play with locked in camera due to mainly playing dagger + parry and with a short weapon this fight is absolutely unfun and i don t want to respec to just spamm weapon art with dragon katana, i know that s what most people do and tutorial suggest, but that s not fun in my opinion.

    The first phase is great but the second is AOE bullshit.

      If it wasn’t for that grab attack it would be my favorate boss of all time. Honestly took me around 30 tries to learn to dodge that 😫

    How to beat? Bad Joke! Unbeatable for me. Game over. I can not believe, what reputation this boss has in the ER comunity. This boss is one of the worst I've ever seen. Completely erratic, completely not learnable. I hate this boss and so the DLC and Elden Ring from the deepest of my heart.
