BAYLE THE DREAD... YOU SHALL HAUNT ME NO LONGER...*

[chipstick]

*”CURSE YOU, BAYLE!”* might be the most iconic line of the entire DLC

[richtofenify]

Now i finally understand why drake warriors becomes Wyrms with firebreath. They ate the hearths of Bayle descendants, drakes. Thats what Bayle paid for his betrayal, in classic-tragic souls fashion.

[dragoon]

Christ the fight between Bayle and Placi must of been world shattering considering how powerful they are when we face them and yet at that point they're already crippled. Imagine they're might in when they were in their prime and what seeing them duke it out must of been like.

[drpeepee]

Bayles phase transition is better than some entire bosses lmao

[Alter]

Why is no one talking about this part at 1:20 they went so hard on this bro 😭

[marcusgreene]

When Bayle took to the skies with his flame lighting wings, what a sight of power! But when fire his flame lighting breathe, you can hear and feel the POWER in such a breathe. Maybe the first in a long while, we actually faced an actually EVIL DRAGON!

Yeah now this is definitely it. There's no mistaking it, he's seperated himself far enough from his kin. The last vestige of majesty like the smoldering coals, and like good coals, they will try their damnedest to reignite. And the choir says to the flee, but who can flee from a thing like the Sun when it passes by the 5th hour at dawn to the 12th in its strength? Certainly not mere man, who is like grass, and is to wither away? But I can feel it still. Hearts like wax melted into boots, resentful, mourning, vengeful. The sensuality of real tyramny, one not in search for mortal possesions. And yet, and yet! It is incomplete!
What bard shall come to give the late Bayle his finale? Has he the stones, or were all stones licked up like water before the heat he gat? Another grim day I lament having many duties gnawing at my mind. Were time on my side I'd seek that missing finale. Bayle's own resentment is missing in the climax, therefore there is no climax at all! It must be found one day! Lay him to rest, for none shall build his heart a new body that he may regain his smoke-laden glory.

0:31 is best part of the entire theme to me. Just personifies the sheer magnitude of the fight with bayle

[TheYouthEnergy]

0:21 That single electric guitar note, SO FREAKING POWERFUL!!

[alextapia]

That beginning goes really hard, especially when staring at the phase change, badass.

[holdenlevine]

0:44 is my favorite part. Really immerses you into the chaos of the fight with all the lighting and magma eruptions.

[ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

I see the new Monster Hunter is going to be especially INTENSE if they’re showing off bosses like THIS so early!

[stheninjawarrior]

My dragon incant knight character felt right at home when I faced this absolute monster of a dragon!! "CUUUURSE BAYYYLE!!!

[Salamonki-nn]

AYO START OF THE THEME ALL THE WAY TO 0:12 SLAPS SO HARD FOR SOME REASON

[chadderbug]

Thank you ER DLC for giving me a track that is as good as the entire soundtrack. That chior ending is transcending holy f*ck.

[Dragonslayer_Havel_]

CURSE YOU BAYLE!!! 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 with holes your rotten hide! WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS! WITH EVERY LAST DROP OF MY BEING!!!

[insectoidinheritor]

Fighting Midir was like fighting Godzilla.
Fighting Placidusax was like fighting King Ghidorah.
Fighting this guy was like fighting a fusion of Destroyah and a demon from the bottom of hell.

[blueflare]

Ran for my life after realizing it was low on health and rotting, all thanks to my mimic. I have no shame 😭🙏🏼
