Is Bazelgeuse worth killing?

[NuggySnotty]

Like do I get good weapons or armor out of him or not? I recently got a quest for him and I'm not sure if it's worth it, afriend of mine told me he's not that good for weapons/armor

[McMurphy]

yes! kill him make armor talon and attack talon or what it's called.
He has good armor if you want earplugs ;)

Best looking helm of all armor. His helm+waist gives you 4 earplug and 3 pieces bonus allows you to survive a KO hit.

Grinding him atm. i already fought him 10 times but still havent got his gem to build the helm lol. IMO earplugs benefits a lot for melee weapon users ( IG,GS,CB ) I'd rather pick it than the DPS anytime of the day

Bazel b armor has useful decoration slots and is worth it.

[Armgard]

Yes, its gear is really good. The armor gives you an easy access to lvl5 plugs and the weapons are arguably the best in the blast category (bar Kulve).

[Lu2]

bazel helm will give you earplugs 2 combinate it with accesory to get full imunity
bazel weapons are good against monsters valnurable to blast

[Xilo The Odd]

a couple pieces of his arrmor are essential if you want to easily be able to run earplugs, and the helm is kinda awesome lookin either way.

The Bazel bonus gives 'Guts' which can be useful when you're in a pinch or playing against Monsters you don't know too well.

As others have said though, the helmet in particular is nice for the earplugs.

Depends:
For the weapons, meh, I know Bazel Hunting Horn is good, but of all the weapon I play, aside from HH no Bazel weapon is worth it.

Armor, yes and no, yes earplug is useful, but it's points you're wasting, you could instead learn how to dodge roars (damn timing is tight though) and put points elsewhere (in MEUUUH DEEEPS for example, or afflcition improvement, or more sharpness). Used to go for earplug 4 or 5 before, but since I play entirely without I'm getting better at dodging the roars. It's a safe mode let's say at the heavy cost of useful skills. People talk a lot about the helmet but I tend to prefer the belt because then I could also use weakness exploit with dragonking eyepatch.

The one shot protection, well it seems nice, but I rarely ever used it, maybe once it saved my life. Since I reached late game I figured it's either "dodge, block or die and kill faster than they kill you", monsters have a lot of cheap damage or attacks hitting multiple times that could simply bypass the one shot protection.

So, if you aren't a minmaxer, I'd say maybe, if you don't feel like dodging roars, it's worth it. On the other hand if you don't want to spend 15 minutes per monster don't.

Armor looks really good also.

Sure, vengence tastes sweet.

Considering how he's going to gate crash EVERY. SINGLE. INVESTIGATION. you will do from your current HR to HR999, you better take every chance to kill it while you can.

Excepting elder dragon investigations of course.

In fact, every time I get bounties like Flying Wyverns or elder recess quests, I go like ' you ruin my day, I'm gonna ruin yours'.

[Reliantlers]

bazel's armor grants max earplugs, pretty useful
