Location: Jagged Peak Summit

Difficulty: 8/10 (at Level 150) – 6.5/10 (at Level 190+ having gotten 15+ Scadutree Blessings)

Strategy: Bayle the Dread and Promised Consort Radahn are the two hardest bosses in the game. Bayle is a huge dragon at the top of Jagged Peak. He hits extremely hard with AOE attacks that can be hard to dodge (but are dodgeable with perfect timing) and he has a ton of health. Before the fight, make sure you defeated the two smaller dragons at “Jagged Peak Mountainside” site of grace. After you did this, talk to Igon where you fought the two dragons, he will call out to you and gets marked on the map. He gives you his summoning finger, then you can call him after entering the Bayle boss fight, by interacting with the yellow sign after going through the gate to the boss arena (not before the boss arena). Also talk to the Dragon Communion Priestess at the “Grand Altar of Dragon Communion” site of grace, found by riding south from where you entered Jagged Peak area (after Dragon’s Pit), where the big Dragon Skeleton is on the border to Cerulean Coast. She gives you a blessing called “Ancient Dragon’s Blessing” which you can equip to your quickslots via the equipment menu. It’s only 1 use but when you used it you can talk to the Priestess again and she keeps giving the blessing repeatedly after each use. It consumes some FP but reduces the incoming damage for a few seconds – keep this for Bayle’s second phase. Now the fight itself: as soon as you enter the arena, summon your Mimic Tear and interact with the yellow summoning sign straight ahead from the entry gate to call Igon. Let these two distract the boss and shoot it with Great Glintstone Shard spell. Make sure you hit its head. You can also consume a Wondrous Flask with Cerulean Hidden Tear (infinite mana) and fire Comet Azur spell to deal a lot of damage, but you must time it perfectly after Bayle does an attack and stands still for a moment. If you hit his feet or other body parts you won’t deal much damage, always aim for the head. At half-health he will transform and gets more aggressive. He will fly up in the air and shoot fire projectiles at you, and comes crashing down with AOE damage. You can dodge his AOE attacks by rolling sideways just half a second before he lands/hits the ground. When he breathes waves of fire you can also dodge through it to avoid taking damage but the timing is a bit tricky. Because he dashes out so much AOE damage, your NPC helpers will likely die during his second phase. Just keep dodging, healing, and shoot him with a few Great Glintstone Shards in the head. How hard this fight will be depends entirely on your level and especially how many Scadutree Fragments you found and redeemed at sites of grace for Scadutree Blessings. These buff you with permanent damage negation. I first tried this boss at level 150 with no Scadutree Blessings redeemed and it was extremely hard. But after gathering 16 Scadutree Blessings and reaching Level 187, Bayle did barely any damage. The Scadutree Blessings are a game-changer here, so keep Bayle for last after you thoroughly explored all DLC areas for Scadutree Fragments. Also bring mostly health flasks, I put 11 health and 3 mana flasks. If you play as mage you should have 99 Intelligence to deal more damage, so the fight won’t last as long and you won’t run out of flasks.

Reward: 490,000 Runes, Heart of Bayle (can be redeemed and Grand Altar of Dragon Communion for a powerful Incantation)

  12. this is a boss that they just forgot to make into a boss fight it just spams aids every 2 seconds from aoe attacks spanning the entire arena to fire that will damage you even when ur not near it

  21. I beat him on my second try with only a level 9 blessing. That auto cross bow you can find just insta rots him with arrows then I use barbed bolts right after. I used mimic tear and igon made sure to hit them with a regen spell at the beginning but honestly that crossbow bolt shoots 10 bolts in a rapid fire and it just melted his health to nothing. Mimic and igon survived the fight

  28. Honestly didn’t even know about the blessings and my scadurtree was at 6 when I took him down. As long as you have the dragon hunters great katana and make sure you charge the weapon art. You should be pretty good.

  33. I am a bit confused at the comments. Personally, I got him on my 3rd or 4th try. Sure, I sumonned his mortal enemy with the sign inside the arena, I also used a 10+ Dung Eater spirit. And I kept relying on Maliketh's black blade incantation a lot. But why do people rank Bayle higher than Malenia in difficulty ? Radahn/Miquella was way harder than him.

  40. I beat him first try by upgrading the Dragon-Hunter's katana. If you use the blessing the priestess gave you and use some damage negation talismans along with the opaline bubble tear, you can avoid a lot of the damage he does. Also just having a summon to keep his attention just lets you absolutely melt through his health when you use the special attack on the katana. Hope this helps someone!
