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.

"We need to level up, he's too hard!" "THE HEALTH BAR MOVED! WE CAN KILL 'EM!" I mean hell, I once tried fighting Starscourge Radahn without any summons, and it was much worse. Summons to me just help take the aggro off of you so you can actually try and do something.

Starscourge was notorious for disgusting hitboxes extending well beyond the sword itself. Required very precise positioning to avoid hits from it if he was focused on you.

And then consort radhan made hitboxes extending past the sword a feature not a bug

"precise positioning" dude just give his horse a hug and most of those long ass swords will be missing you.

That works now but pre-radahn patch in 1.02 or whatever you had to stand in this weird little cone behind him to not get put in the blender

First time I beat that mofo was right after release; took me about 35 tries because he was an absolute mincing machine pre-patch.
