benjaminsimmons4077: Gene with Cowboy and Ruri?!?! Praise the sun

LordlyWeeb: I have no problem with people using summons, but it's absolutely valid for people to feel like they make the game too easy, and thus not want to use them. It's not necessarily an elitism thing, it's just how they find their fun in the game. They're playing how they want to.

The problem with some (only some) of the dlc fights is that they're in a strange place where they're too hard solo, and too easy with spirit summons. There's no middle ground.

And while Fromsoft may want you to use summons, most bosses don't actually feel designed for them. I've been helping people fight dlc bosses and they change targets on a whim in a very unnatural way. They don't feel like they're designed for multiple targets, regardless of developer intention.

biggums5: Igon was fantastic. After hearing him shout about Bayle all the way from that first area, I'd have felt bad NOT summoning him.

ryankeith2712: It’s crazy to me that I think the Peak of the DLC was the Leda fight with all the allies. Easily the most emotional part of all of Elden ring

samthompson261: that boar charge hitbox is messed up I agree with cowboy

jt_no_money2381: Congrats to Gene for one shotting cancer! Always nice to hear someone beating it and good luck keeping it gone for good!

BasketCase-rr7tx: There is nothing wrong with using summons. However from reading what people have said, I think the issue with the DLC is that the people who dont enjoy using summons are finding the bosses too hard to beat solo, so its literally impossible for them to enjoy the game becuase using summons isnt fun for them.

Brendangotgudgaming: Who the hell would ever play a game like this that doesn't like exploration that's literally insane exploration is probably the best time I have with the game it's awesome

aayushdasgupta9754: So for the Bayle and Ancient Dragons lore,

1. Placidusax did not lose his heads in the battle. He defeated Bayle, after which Bayle tried to fuck off. Placi bit him with 2 of his heads, but Bayle ran with such force, that he tore of the two heads that bit him trying to stop him. So, basically Bayle challenged Placidusax, probably to death, lost tried to run away, and injured Placidusax doing it.

2. Regarding the Ancient Dragon before Bayle, I think the ancient dragon reached the highest point before the flame lightning started falling randomly. That sort of scared Senessax. We are small, so the Flame Lightning doesn't really matter to us, but if you are the size of Senessax, you are getting bombarded. So, he may have been looking for reinforcements from the Ancient Dragons or just biding his time, not wanting to go up due to the flame lightning, and down due to the other drakes in the way.

What would have been fun, would be to drop him in the abyssal woods. He tried to escape from Bayle, was injured, crash landed in the abyssal woods to the north west of the Jagged peak, and now, is infected by Madness, due to the despair of losing his battle. Then his lightning would become another form of frenzied flame lightning, which we could get as an incantation that does Lightning damage and Madness buildup. Would be really cool.

Great podcast man!
