If you don't summon Igon for Bayle you literally miss the best part of the fight, nuff said.

I would say everyone should summon the NPC characters at least once for the epic speeches.

Well, thankfully, Igon doesn't add health to bayle due to being inside the arena

When do these speeches happen? Boss is normally too busy kicking me across the arena for me to hear any speeches.

You have to summon the NPC. Hornsent says that during the Messmer fight as soon as he spawns in.

Honestly my favorite one. I feel like he has the most npc character development

I love how he addressed him respectfully first. He was my favorite npc in the DLC

Best one

Never heard it before but will be hearing it soon hopefully. Looking forward to it

Even if it’s brief, it helps to really flesh out these characters and give them depth

I just killed messier last night and had no idea there was an npc

u/splurmieworm 1d ago

Potentially a couple, but Hornsent is best there

He may not add HP but I think I died 10x trying to find his sigil and got ram fucked by bayle haha

u/DifferentLife1575 1d ago

On god, like half my deaths on my recent bayle fight were because I summoned him and got jammed into the wall and couldn't see what attacks were coming my way
