My cousin decided to get a hamster today, but he was stuck on a name. So, I jokingly suggested he name it Bayle because I had just come from this video after rewatching it for the 1000th time. We both stared at each other for 5 seconds, then busted up laughing. Needless to say, Bayle the Dread is now a welcome addition to our family.

You don't need to fight the 2 dragons, they'll handle that themselves so long as they don't notice you. For some reason, they stop being able to hit one another once they see you
Just imagine how epic pov it is for Igon to see some tarnished dude climbing/rolling through mountain and ploughing dragons in their own nest left and right.
I'm torn between Igon in Elden Ring and Ishmael in Limbus Company. Both recent and unique takes on the tale, both done incredibly well. Ishmael has the more in depth story, but Igon has by far the better vibes
The dude is metal af He literally went like "my legs, my arms, my entire body is ruined and my mind i filled with fear and ptsd but my spirit can still fight so we will kill him"
Not to mention that as he was dying he was apparently still making the harpoons, just so that he may kill Bayle. The guy crawls up the mountain halfway, legless, while still crafting more weapons for slaughtering that dragon. Then he dies and STILL kills Bayle because he just has that much power driving him forward even in death.
Don't forget that, since he can't get up there to make a summon sign himself, he snaps off one of his own fingers so you can carry it up there and make it for him.
@@mallow443 He's even a bro to others as well. When talking about T'hiollier, he admits that he was pleasantly surprised and admits he was a fool to doubt Thiollier. That instead, he is actually quite happy the St. Trina worshipper is joined along for the ride. Ansbach just works well with others no matter who they are. "Righteous Tarnished.. Become our new lord. A lord not for gods.. but for men." -Ansbach's Last words, when he dies in the Radahn fight.
That's just sad how fked my first playthrough was lol I burned the tree beating like 3 bosses not even the lion and every npc is dead except the merchant guy, world is literally empty 😥

Not just "that fucking dragon" either. Bayle is LITERAL Dragon Satan in the setting, who rebelled against Placidusax and inflicted horrific wounds on him.
@@FurnaxIkkihe pissed off Placidusax to the point that when Bayle fled, he ripped off a couple of Placidusax’s heads with him… *WHICH ARE STILL FUCKING BITING HIM TO THIS DAY!* What the fuck was the Bayle rebellion like that the heads are still clamped down, refusing to let go?
Everyone else: "Omg we're following Miquella but now we don't know if we were doing so willingly!" Igon: "Who the hell is this Mitchell Ella person or whatever? It's all about BAYLE!"
Igon is iconic >You find him agonizing clinging to life >You find he is powered by hatred >Talks mad shit with passion >Hypes you up >Once his reason to hate dies, he dies, so he fullfills his reason to live Love the guy, he, Radhan and Alexander are my favorite NPCs
There’s actually quite a few. After we take out two demigods one of which is Radahn we kinda become a big deal frankly. But to have the gigachad Godfrey to not only address you with respect but to even acknowledge your hardships is nothing short of lordly behavior. He’s the founder of your people. That’s like actually having Adam the father of man appear before you and tell you that you are a good man and you are strong before giving you a ten peice combo and a power bomb. It’s a compliment that would be rude to take lightly. But you have Miquilla who acknowledges you as the champion of the festival. Pretty much anyone you help speaks on just how reliable you are. Really the only ones who think lowly of the tarnished are racist or upper echelon snobs.

I love how Igon stole the show so thoroughly that no one gives a shit about Bayle individually unless it involves Igon memes. Imagine being a giant dragonlord who grievously wounded Placidusaax...only for no one to care in the slightest because of how entertainingly over-the-top a hyper salty paraplegic's ranting is.
This is Igon's greatest victory. He couldnt defeat Bayle but he stole his legacy. When we think of Bayle we think instead of Igon screaming like a crazed berserker. Its like with the Iron Golem and Tarkus but even more impressive. Bayle is a hard boss but this mighty dragon is now nothing more than meme, forever doomed to live in the shadow of the madlad that is Igon.
To be fair, Bayle is pretty basic on his own. Really cool design, decent enough fight, but like… I fought Midir. Dragon Fights have yet to be better than that one so far lol
Bayle must have been like the dragon equivalent of Vyke during that age of the dragonlord. There's probably a whole story and history there that we only have the smallest bits and pieces of. But yeah, Igon totally steals the show
I just love how his VA goes all out while the dude himself is just hitting air with a dragon incantation, and if he wants to feel useful he shoots off his bow every now and then
@@MamaTrixxieAsmr i dunno man, he was pretty busted in my fight honestly. Maybe i just got real lucky, but Bayle kept focused on Igon most of the fight and basically every incant Connected and every harpoon was a Headshot. The damage was about 50/50 split between me and our boi.
@datzfatz2368 maybe I just got lucky too cause Igon was the goat against Bayle. Beat him first try (the first time I got the summon off). Up until then I'd just been feeding Bayle small snacks for 2 hours.
his dragon incantations are preaty solid though, and in general much he's more fun than simply trivialising the fight, most impacfull summon in my opinion
Of course it does. Igon and Bayle are practically an homage to Ahab and Moby Dick, a rivalry you just can't beat in terms of absolute rage and hatred...
“Metaphors? I hate metaphors. That’s why my favorite book is Moby-Dick. No fru-fru symbolism, just a good, simple tale about a man who hates an animal" - Ron Swanson
It's badass how Igon starts talk shit immediately after being summoned and how fast he responded you from the sign. Madlad waited for this very moment to curse Bayle and helped us kill this foul dragon.
What's so peak about Igon is the fact that he's basically just a normal dude. He was born into a terrible situation and was forced to scavenge to survive. Then he found respite in dragon communion, only for Bayle to immediate screw him and ruining what little hope he had. So this basically normal guy is dead set on taking revenge against the legendary ancient dragon that could've taken down the King of Dragons if not for the Dragon God, and he manages to do it with the help of the player. This guy could've soloed a god if he wanted to.
Exactly -- this is a genuinely well told story of revenge. At first when I heard his lines, I wasn't sure why he was so mad at Bayle (I assumed something big must've went down because of how eager he was for you to summon him) and when you learn about Bayle and Placidusax' interactions.. it all makes sense What a phenomenal little storyline
@@Spid4r1 He definitely could of. Bastard was angry and determined enough to crawl towards the mountain in stumps while fighting the deathbirds, beastmen and the dragon men by himself. Had his previous fight with Bayle not traumatize him, he would be raring to go for a round two without resorting to being summoned.
There's so many great ones to choose from but Igon became one of the most recognizable (and memable) ones for sure Feels like Varre calling us maidenless all over again
Mogh when the DLC came out: *CURSE YOUU MIQUELLAAAAAAAAA!!!* *I HEREBY VOW, YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY!* *BEHOLD, A TRUE LORD OF BLOOD AND I, MOGH!* *YOUR FEAR MADE FLESH!* *SOILD OF CONSORT, YOU MAY HAVE FOUL EMPYREAN* *BUT I WILL RIDDLE WITH HOLES YOUR ROTTON COMPASSION!* *WITH A HAIL OF NIHIL!!!* *WITH EVERY LAST DROP OF MY BEING!!!*
Everything surrounding Igon and Bayle has been phenomenally done. Bayle in particular became my favourite dragon boss. Even just looking at him as a boss (without the dragon component being mixed in) I think he's one of the greatest, up there with Isshin, Gael, Friede, etc.
Too bad I messed up his questline by accidentally killing bayle before the 2 drakes on the jagged peak. Once I did kill them he was just dead on the side of the road.
i love how much faith igon puts in you because he saw first hand your strength. infact i just love how much respect to your power most npcs give in elden ring. in dark souls npcs always acted like you didn’t just murder a deity 10 minutes ago
I was kinda surprised in DLC, cause when you play main game, everyone telling you're a trash (except Malenia and Godfri probably). NPCs and even Messmer in DLC showed some respect to a tarnished warrior.
This is probably one of my favorite videos of all time. The original blood + thunder meme is one of my all time favorites, and after playing the DLC and fighting Bayle i started to think about how much Igon is literally just Ahab and Bayle is his white whale. This shit scratches so many specific itches for me it’s insane, my autism has been satiated. Thank you so much for making this.
Its written all over his interactions, his circumstance and his item description. To this end, the player is Ishmael, being the only one witness to the great Igon's final battle against a force of nature.
That last part of Tarnished being dead while Igon is standing there is sooo damn accurate. Literally my ng7 Bayle experience. Peak boss, peak npc and peak dlc overall though.
Most NPC summons feel like a friend, or provide cool dialogue in the fight that adds some additional story. But Igon makes you feel like a true drake warrior and gets you absolutely HYPED for the battle. May Bayle haunt him no longer, and may the voice actor have his salary doubled
Spot on -- I think so far the best NPC summon moments have been Siegward in DS3 vs Yhorm (although he just kinda walks in there as opposed to summoning him) and Igon vs Bayle. So much storytelling in just a few lines, and in the case of Igon, an actual hype-man out there not only to motivate you, but also to destroy his sworn enemy
Right? I was so excited going through the Jagged Peak and seeing what's gonna happen -- the area itself was one of the most cinematic FS experiences (imo) with all the drakes fighting, lighting coming down, the fog obscuring everything below the peak -- and then Igon to top it all of. it was just perfect all around for me. I loved it
The fact he Lost the legs and he only wants to kill him is very sure he is inspire in Moby Dick (and other references like Berserk) And Moby Dick INSPIRED the WHITE WHALE MEME so
My genuine first reaction to summoning Igon was "QUIT YER F*CKIN" YAPPIN, AND *HELP ME!!!"* my inevitable second attempt I said "Arg arg arg, capin' we'll get yer legs back from the deapths arg arg arg"
I absolutely agree with everything you said I've been thinking about it and honestly I think he became my favourite dragon fight of all time (I still adore Midir though) That, and Igon's performance, like you mentioned, made it iconic. I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years down the line people will still meme about the whole ''CURSE YOU BAYLE'' thing
Guys, the reason why Igon is so awesome is because he’s basically just Captain Ahab. How a Japanese guy knows about peak 19th century American literature is beyond me. And before you say this is just fan theory, his game file actually says “Dragon Communion Ahab.”
I was about to put him out of his misery until I decided I’d come back to him whenever I found whatever it was I needed to progress his quest. Now imagine me, someone who has their character role play as a dragon slayer he’ll bent on slaying all dragons have this guy show up later to tell me I’m cool and that he wants to kill THE dragon. That moment I knew Igon was my favorite NPC in the whole game and I made sure to finish Bayle using Placidux’s laser attack to avenge the dragon I respected most (my favorite base game boss)
Hell yeah dude! I love it whenever people roleplay certain character types. Igon is just great overall too -- honestly might be my new favourite FS npc :)
The fact that he introduces us as the '''true drake warrior'' was one of the best moments imo -- actually puts some respect onto our name, which in turn made me respect him all the more
I was on a call with my friend (He was fighting the ancient dragon downstairs) when I heard this, and I burst out laughing midsentence when I heard "...WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS!"
@@viniolivvI read about that earlier today, though I have my doubts because "didn't know it was a dragon" but says the word dragon in one of the lines, although I think that's a common thing in VAing, where sometimes you don't know wtf you're voicing ahah
I liked how much Bayle and Igon mirrored each other both are lower socially speaking with bayle being a drake not a dragon and igon being low born as well. And both are so scarred by the time of their fight that they both can only fight due to summoning their own souls to propel them. igon needs this more so but bayle does summon extra wings. When i first saw igon i had no clue he was gonna be so great.
I absolutely love this little description -- you're spot on, my jaw was dropped when I saw Bayle's phase 2 transformation -- it still remains as one of my favourite of all time. As for Igon, yep -- I didn't think much of him when I first saw him out in the open, then at the foot of the jagged peak, everything changed and that's when the build up started. And what a pay off it had.
Myself, my mimic, and Igoat jumped that bastard Bayle into oblivion. Igon survived the fight against the final lord of the dragons, to which we revered together in a rainfall of blood which so recently was terrifying lightning. May his soul rest.
I absolutey agree with everything you said -- the build up for going through the Jagged Peak has been absolutely amazing too. What a phenomenal experience
He's committed, you gotta give him that Seriously his voice lines (and his VA's delivery of them) make Igon stand out so much. I'm truly glad we got yet another legendary-tier FS character
This guy became my favorite NPC in the game the second I was wandering around trying to find the skeleton horse from the trailer (I still dunno where it is xd) and just heard some guy screaming at the top of his lungs about hay bayle xD
Thiollier, Ansbach, and Igon, are by far the best things about the DLC, and from home, Boc, Latenna, Boggart, Rya, Alexander, Roderika, Sellen, Millicent, and Hewg, they are the only ones who see you as a true comrade and confidant. Those twelve have faith in you, and that makes the struggle one worth fighting for.
I heard it took him around 8 hours to record all of his line and Miyazaki himself was in there with him directing the retakes before it was *truly perfect* Miyazaki is the god king emperor, long may he cook
Can we take a second to appreciate the fact that Igon, despite being clearly driven by hatred and vengeance, still has the heart and sanity to let it swallow him completely, as he recognizes you as a trusted friend and comrade? Igon literally thinks we’re one of the coolest guys around, we got to live up to that.

Igon and Bayle is probably the most fun take on Ahab and Moby Dick I've ever seen.
I absolutely agree with you, and I never would've expected such an 'adaptation' of the story, in Elden Ring of all places
I hate that I had to scroll this far down to find someone mentioning Ahab!
Man this I did not even notice this😮. Great job noticing this!
I'm torn between Igon in Elden Ring and Ishmael in Limbus Company. Both recent and unique takes on the tale, both done incredibly well. Ishmael has the more in depth story, but Igon has by far the better vibes

That's how you know you've made a badass character. Seriously, Igon's just *the man*
To be fair, Bayle is pretty basic on his own. Really cool design, decent enough fight, but like… I fought Midir. Dragon Fights have yet to be better than that one so far lol
@@beanieguitarguy4070 honestly i dont know which was harder. Midir was more an endurance fight while Bayle has too much stuff going on screen.
Bayle must have been like the dragon equivalent of Vyke during that age of the dragonlord. There's probably a whole story and history there that we only have the smallest bits and pieces of.
But yeah, Igon totally steals the show
I just love how his VA goes all out while the dude himself is just hitting air with a dragon incantation, and if he wants to feel useful he shoots off his bow every now and then
he might not be that good in battle but damn if he aint one of the best hype men
@@MamaTrixxieAsmr i dunno man, he was pretty busted in my fight honestly. Maybe i just got real lucky, but Bayle kept focused on Igon most of the fight and basically every incant Connected and every harpoon was a Headshot. The damage was about 50/50 split between me and our boi.
He is very good at helping you stagger the boss, with his bow. Easily can pull of 2 or 3 times.
@datzfatz2368 maybe I just got lucky too cause Igon was the goat against Bayle. Beat him first try (the first time I got the summon off). Up until then I'd just been feeding Bayle small snacks for 2 hours.
his dragon incantations are preaty solid though, and in general much he's more fun than simply trivialising the fight, most impacfull summon in my opinion
It's even more amazing when you get to know that it's his first debut in video game voice acting.
I heard about this. Apparently he didn't take video game VA seriously compared to other voice acting until Miyazaki hired him.
Really love that shot of Igon being reflected in Bayle's eye. It's extra creative and it makes Igon's rage look so much cooler.
VILE
BAYLE
HOLY
GRAIL
I really hope to see an entire parody of that song with Bayle in mind one day, 10/10
@@fermyondsthere's nothing stopping me from learning guitar and singing it lmao just wait for a few years
I feel like Igon’s hatred for BAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEE rivals the hatred Guts had for GRIFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH
dude is literally ahab to our ishmael.
The Virgin Berserk comparison VS the Chad Moby Dick comparison
Of course it does. Igon and Bayle are practically an homage to Ahab and Moby Dick, a rivalry you just can't beat in terms of absolute rage and hatred...

What's so peak about Igon is the fact that he's basically just a normal dude.
He was born into a terrible situation and was forced to scavenge to survive. Then he found respite in dragon communion, only for Bayle to immediate screw him and ruining what little hope he had. So this basically normal guy is dead set on taking revenge against the legendary ancient dragon that could've taken down the King of Dragons if not for the Dragon God, and he manages to do it with the help of the player.
This guy could've soloed a god if he wanted to.
Exactly -- this is a genuinely well told story of revenge. At first when I heard his lines, I wasn't sure why he was so mad at Bayle (I assumed something big must've went down because of how eager he was for you to summon him) and when you learn about Bayle and Placidusax' interactions.. it all makes sense
What a phenomenal little storyline
@@fermyondseasily the most memorable one in this dlc for me...
yeah... not really. but hey, angry npc fun, right?
@@Spid4r1 He definitely could of. Bastard was angry and determined enough to crawl towards the mountain in stumps while fighting the deathbirds, beastmen and the dragon men by himself. Had his previous fight with Bayle not traumatize him, he would be raring to go for a round two without resorting to being summoned.
Anger is a hell of a motivator
actual best npc in all of elden ring
Ansbach, Millicent, Hewg, Moore, Freyja... There's a few good ones.
Him and Ansbach is tied for me being the best NPC
There's so many great ones to choose from but Igon became one of the most recognizable (and memable) ones for sure

Props to the voice actor for sacrificing his vocal cords to the primordial gods for his peak performance
you fell off
you're back! ♥
The sheer emotion in the voice acting, the song, the visuals, i usually HATE dragon fights but man this bayle fight was absolute PEAK
Placidusax and Bayle were the only good ones.
Bayle feels to me like the Gael of dragon fights. Nothing comes close, aside maybe midir.
Everything surrounding Igon and Bayle has been phenomenally done. Bayle in particular became my favourite dragon boss. Even just looking at him as a boss (without the dragon component being mixed in) I think he's one of the greatest, up there with Isshin, Gael, Friede, etc.
Amazing that Igons voice goes around in a circle sound channel-wise 😅
Here before this blows up, by far my favorite npc in any souls game.
Easily became my favourite as well -- barely had any screen time but damn it, every minute he's been around was a pleasure
CURSE YOU BAYLEEEEE, will go nicely among MAIDENLESS? and TOGETHAAAAA, for the hall of soulslike memes
Too bad I messed up his questline by accidentally killing bayle before the 2 drakes on the jagged peak. Once I did kill them he was just dead on the side of the road.
@@toastmaster914 it's not much of a storyline, you just get to summon him for Bayle. You did get his stuff anyways, right?
Every time this absolute goat speaks, its so dramatic i love it 😂
Man all from games have that one npc that you cant ever forget. Igon is that guy. Bro is literally him.
And the best part is that he doesn't even have that much screentime, but damn it, the time he's with you is a time you will remember for sure

@@seanplaysgames2551BEHOLD, A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR
i love how much faith igon puts in you because he saw first hand your strength. infact i just love how much respect to your power most npcs give in elden ring. in dark souls npcs always acted like you didn’t just murder a deity 10 minutes ago
I was kinda surprised in DLC, cause when you play main game, everyone telling you're a trash (except Malenia and Godfri probably). NPCs and even Messmer in DLC showed some respect to a tarnished warrior.
This is probably one of my favorite videos of all time. The original blood + thunder meme is one of my all time favorites, and after playing the DLC and fighting Bayle i started to think about how much Igon is literally just Ahab and Bayle is his white whale. This shit scratches so many specific itches for me it’s insane, my autism has been satiated. Thank you so much for making this.
Its written all over his interactions, his circumstance and his item description. To this end, the player is Ishmael, being the only one witness to the great Igon's final battle against a force of nature.
Base game: LET CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD
Dlc: CURSE YOU BAYLE
Can't forget the TOGETHAAAA either!
@@fermyonds Honestly, next from softgame they just need to let the VA's chew as much scenery as possible.
The way he elevates the PC as a "True drake warrior" really sells this fight as the power fantasy it is.
Right? It's good to see someone who actually ends up respecting us, the player character x)
I witnessed the tarnished's actions they earned the title of true drake warrior
What do you get when you combine Captain Ahab from Moby Dick with a homeless man blitzed on bathsalts? You get Igon.
And I couldn't be happier about his existance
*"With every last drop of my being!"*
Dude was commited
the music along with ”CURSE YOU BAYLE” are enough to make this my favourite fight in the game
I absolutely agree with you, Bayle has become one of my all time favourites in general
I needed this animation the moment i heard Igom talked for first time, 10/10 chef kiss
Who'd have thought that Elden Ring would have its own little Moby Dick adaptation, in a way?
Happy you enjoyed it though x)

0:55 How most of my fights with Bayle went.
I'm glad we had a similar experience!
That last part of Tarnished being dead while Igon is standing there is sooo damn accurate. Literally my ng7 Bayle experience. Peak boss, peak npc and peak dlc overall though.

I don't think I'd be able to face Bayle on ng7
Props to you for doing that o7
@@fermyondsthe dragon hunter deals like 20% of his hp per charged hit tho, so not that bad
Hes here :)
I haven't seen you in a while
Most NPC summons feel like a friend, or provide cool dialogue in the fight that adds some additional story. But Igon makes you feel like a true drake warrior and gets you absolutely HYPED for the battle. May Bayle haunt him no longer, and may the voice actor have his salary doubled
Spot on -- I think so far the best NPC summon moments have been Siegward in DS3 vs Yhorm (although he just kinda walks in there as opposed to summoning him) and Igon vs Bayle. So much storytelling in just a few lines, and in the case of Igon, an actual hype-man out there not only to motivate you, but also to destroy his sworn enemy
Holy shit. The Blood and Thunder meme resurfaces. This is so cool
And on the 20th anniversary of the albums release. Absolute cinema
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Old memes are always great!
Favorite character of any Fromsoft game. Knew it as soon as I heard him screaming on the mountain
I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought of "White Whale, Holy Grail" after hearing Igon's mad, vengeful monologuing.
Yes! As soon as he mentioned Harpoons, I couldn't think of anything else
This guy does not stop talking even if the Dragon hits him so hard that he flies across the arena. 🤣
He just does not care -- he's a man on a mission, nothing's stopping him
Nothing shall halt my revenge
CURRRRRSEE YOUUUU BAAAAAAAAAAYLE. Greatest voice acting ever bro 😂😂😂
100%, I heard these lines more than I'd like to admit xD
Bro this dialogue was so awesome to hear for the first time.
The best part is that it still sounds awesome even after hearing it a lot!
I never thought I would see this meme be brought back, reminds me of the good ol' days.
I am very proud to say I first tried bayle, no BS, just a regular old build. This is one of my biggest accomplishments in life
Igon is fucking insane, and I love it
His insanity and rage is what gives him the charm we love him for -- Wish we had more characters like him!
He’s fit for a place in yarnum lol.
This questline is peak cinema
Right? I was so excited going through the Jagged Peak and seeing what's gonna happen -- the area itself was one of the most cinematic FS experiences (imo) with all the drakes fighting, lighting coming down, the fog obscuring everything below the peak -- and then Igon to top it all of. it was just perfect all around for me. I loved it
IT’S SO PEAK
Of course, it's happening on the Jagged Peak x)
@@fermyonds souls slang could include "this thing kinda jagged, NGL"
Hurricane threatening Berly
No one:
Igon:
Curse you, Berly! I'll riddle you with a hail of broken houses!!!
I love how Igon's obsession with Bayle is immediately associated with Ahab and Moby Dick, and is turned into this masterpiece of a parody.
The fact he Lost the legs and he only wants to kill him is very sure he is inspire in Moby Dick (and other references like Berserk)
And Moby Dick INSPIRED the WHITE WHALE MEME so
My genuine first reaction to summoning Igon was "QUIT YER F*CKIN" YAPPIN, AND *HELP ME!!!"* my inevitable second attempt I said "Arg arg arg, capin' we'll get yer legs back from the deapths arg arg arg"
Exactly!! The fight and his rage really makes you appreciate Igon as a character x)
love this. Bayle was such a good boss fight. Igon's voicelines made it so much better
I absolutely agree with everything you said
I've been thinking about it and honestly I think he became my favourite dragon fight of all time (I still adore Midir though)
That, and Igon's performance, like you mentioned, made it iconic. I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years down the line people will still meme about the whole ''CURSE YOU BAYLE'' thing
no whale here
You're certainly right, Ahab and Igon would take care of any and all whales (and drakes, but that's besides the point)
Bayle would kill me every time he said "BEHOLD, A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR" and i'd be too ashamed to look into Igon's eyes again
Guys, the reason why Igon is so awesome is because he’s basically just Captain Ahab. How a Japanese guy knows about peak 19th century American literature is beyond me. And before you say this is just fan theory, his game file actually says “Dragon Communion Ahab.”
True haha that's why it's "With a hail of harpoons" such a great reference!
I was about to put him out of his misery until I decided I’d come back to him whenever I found whatever it was I needed to progress his quest. Now imagine me, someone who has their character role play as a dragon slayer he’ll bent on slaying all dragons have this guy show up later to tell me I’m cool and that he wants to kill THE dragon. That moment I knew Igon was my favorite NPC in the whole game and I made sure to finish Bayle using Placidux’s laser attack to avenge the dragon I respected most (my favorite base game boss)
Hell yeah dude! I love it whenever people roleplay certain character types. Igon is just great overall too -- honestly might be my new favourite FS npc :)
A Blood and Thunder meme in 2024? What a time to be alive!
The more things change, the more they remain the same!
Going back to old memes seems to just be a part of life now :)
0:28 this one goes hard
The fact that he introduces us as the '''true drake warrior'' was one of the best moments imo -- actually puts some respect onto our name, which in turn made me respect him all the more
Insane i just met Igon and got this recommended to me. Jaw dropped to the floor when i heard his dialogue
Same here -- Igon was just phenomenal in every way
I was on a call with my friend (He was fighting the ancient dragon downstairs) when I heard this, and I burst out laughing midsentence when I heard "...WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS!"
A sick dragon fight, an absolute bro who bellows out his heart, and a hot dragon waifu. One of the best quests in the entire game.
I completely agree with you. Everything about this whole section of the Dlc was perfect
Who is the waifu? 😭 🤣
@@justinchalifoux4424 The Dragon Communion Priestess. She's part of the questline, technically, where she encourages you to hunt down Bayle.
Whatever amount FS paid to the Igon's voice actor, wasn't enough, pay him more, the man delivered in every single way possible.
I whole heartedly agree with you. He went above and beyond -- I genuinely didn't expect how crazy things would get with him
I like how clueless and lost Richard (Igon's VA) was about his role in Elden Ring but he still delivered the best performance he could
@@viniolivvI read about that earlier today, though I have my doubts because "didn't know it was a dragon" but says the word dragon in one of the lines, although I think that's a common thing in VAing, where sometimes you don't know wtf you're voicing ahah
I liked how much Bayle and Igon mirrored each other both are lower socially speaking with bayle being a drake not a dragon and igon being low born as well. And both are so scarred by the time of their fight that they both can only fight due to summoning their own souls to propel them. igon needs this more so but bayle does summon extra wings. When i first saw igon i had no clue he was gonna be so great.
I absolutely love this little description -- you're spot on, my jaw was dropped when I saw Bayle's phase 2 transformation -- it still remains as one of my favourite of all time. As for Igon, yep -- I didn't think much of him when I first saw him out in the open, then at the foot of the jagged peak, everything changed and that's when the build up started. And what a pay off it had.
Myself, my mimic, and Igoat jumped that bastard Bayle into oblivion. Igon survived the fight against the final lord of the dragons, to which we revered together in a rainfall of blood which so recently was terrifying lightning. May his soul rest.
This is a meme format I havent seen in a long time and its a shame too.
man Igon knows how to hype you the fuck UP
his speech + the music + the visuals make for the best fight in the dlc imo
I absolutey agree with everything you said -- the build up for going through the Jagged Peak has been absolutely amazing too. What a phenomenal experience
This is what people mean by instant classic, everyone knows Curse you Bayle
And we will remember Igon and his voice lines for the years to come. He 100% achieved legendary status in the FS community
@@fermyonds I have already invaded and been invaded by Igon cosplayers and Bayle cosplayers, and people whos name is just CURSEYOUBAYLE

He's committed, you gotta give him that
Seriously his voice lines (and his VA's delivery of them) make Igon stand out so much. I'm truly glad we got yet another legendary-tier FS character
GOD, that monolog is so funny and extra and I love it for that.
We all love Igon, he's the best
This guy became my favorite NPC in the game the second I was wandering around trying to find the skeleton horse from the trailer (I still dunno where it is xd) and just heard some guy screaming at the top of his lungs about hay bayle xD
His voice acting is so damn good
What's crazy (imo) is that this is also his VA's first role in gaming. I think he made a name for himself in yet another industry (Richard Lintern)
@@fermyonds if that's his first role in gaming, then he's got helluva talent, i sure hope to see him more often in games
Thiollier, Ansbach, and Igon, are by far the best things about the DLC, and from home, Boc, Latenna, Boggart, Rya, Alexander, Roderika, Sellen, Millicent, and Hewg, they are the only ones who see you as a true comrade and confidant.
Those twelve have faith in you, and that makes the struggle one worth fighting for.
Exactly!! Honestly one thing I love about Elden Ring is just how many great NPCs there are. You're 100% spot on
The voice actor had such a fun time doing this you can absolutely tell
He put every ounce of his soul into creating this beautiful voice work
I heard it took him around 8 hours to record all of his line and Miyazaki himself was in there with him directing the retakes before it was *truly perfect*
Miyazaki is the god king emperor, long may he cook
Somehow Igon was the most inspiring NPC for me, such a good lad.
I can see why, he's awesome in every way
Igon is the guy that's wake up early to start his day with fresh hatred
The combination of Elden Ring and the Mastodon rage comic is a matrimony so niche I didn’t even conceive it a possibility, but I’m glad it exists
Anything is possible if you meme it hard enough!
The man too angry to die
He's on a mission and there's nothing stopping him
i did a no summon run of all of Elden ring. The only summon I couldn't skip was Igon tbh, he comes with the boss.
Can we take a second to appreciate the fact that Igon, despite being clearly driven by hatred and vengeance, still has the heart and sanity to let it swallow him completely, as he recognizes you as a trusted friend and comrade?
Igon literally thinks we’re one of the coolest guys around, we got to live up to that.
Miyazaki and GRRM really just had Captain Ahab fight Balerion the Black Dread from ASOIAF
I've been watching this video DAILY at least 3 times a day since I beat Bayle
Best npc for the best dragon fight in fromsoft.
I absolutely agree with you. I still love Midir but damn Bayle has overthrown him, at least in my eyes
I am more of a placidusax enjoyer...
Guess it is my narrative to **CURSE YOU BAAAAAAYLE!**
Igon is so peak. Survives getting yote off a fucking mountain and comes back with 2 phantom legs to get his revenge
He's on a mission and he's certainly not letting anything stop him. I respect the hell out of that one
this made the fight 10x more epic. Although I'd die before his speech ended😂
Haven’t even tried fighting Bayle yet, and I’m already looking forward to this dialog xD
I absolutely love that he says "BEHOLD A GREAT DRAKE WRRIOR, AND I, IGON" he's literally hyping you up
