is bayle the dread a cheap gimmick?

[Geek Ultra]

the only reason he's hard is because we can't lock on his foot.

Don't lock on, it's suicide. Stay on his leg/stump and dodge his aoe, it's easy after a few tries. Ingon also helps.

I usually dont summon, but this guy's dialogue is just too fun to not have lmao.

This exactly, the fight is pure spectacle and it's fine to enjoy as intended. Similar to Radahn in a way.

I beat him on my second try using the poisoned hand, almost only R2's. Is he really supposed to be a gimmick boss? His attacks all seemed pretty easy to dodge.

i agree his attacks are easy to dodge, but the camera, man. i swear the camera is one of the bosses lmao.

I actually thought he was a good fight, he leaves plenty of openings for his head, I wouldn't bother attacking the body as you'll run out of stamina and when he does the fire breath under him or the jump back tail swipe you won't have stamina or time to run and dodge.

I haven't had time to put into this one yet but I'm hoping Bayle will be my new Midir.

As a rule of thumb I do not use the lock-on camera against enemies taller than me in souls games

Doesnt that apply to like 90% of enemies? lmao we're smol.

Most of his attacks are dodgeable and punishable. I use a Colossal Sword, so if I can learn the fight, so can you.

Good luck dodging the Midir laser though, I ALWAYS get hit by that.

[Angry Harold]

he's not too bad when you learn him. def the best dragon fight they've made besides Midir. at least he has the courtesy to jump backwards and reset his position when you're stuck behind him and can't hit his head.

[Vinnolo]

the only gimmick in this fight is ppl putting their message over igon sign

[happi]

I died a few times just trying to summon that stupid npc for the quest, because you get blasted by Bayle's fire right at the beginning and people have their messages all around his summon sign
Other than that he's incredibly easy, only 4 tries, whereas the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dancing lion took me 68 tries for some reason

[JC21]

Is he supposed to be hard because I beat him on 1st try...

[Aksamitny Grzmot]

I got him on the first try. Easy.

I'm used to it, I'm mostly a Monster Hunter Player so for like 14 years I kinda just know how to operate a camera manually while playing third person action games.

only lock on when you need to face towards them then stop locking on and aim at the body its tail is also just a massive hitbox you can go for
