[Part of my Elden Ring journal]
Returning to the back exit of Ancient Dragon-Man's hole (yeah, that sounded bad), I find a bunch of ghostflame dragons to slay and an injured dragon hunter named Igon who wants vengeance upon someone called Bayle. I soon learn from a nearby dragon priestess who has setup up shop beside the corpse of a gigantic dragon, that Bayle is the forefather of ancient dragons and lives atop the stormy mountain I'm climbing. She also wants him dead and gives me a blessing from her lord Plasidusax (who I've also killed).
I get side tracked a little with the gorgeous scenery and end up fighting a demi-human queen (lure and kill), a giant death rite bird (weak to holy club) and then fall in the Lamenter's gaol (easy fight as the idiot relies on mirror images to make up for his lack of HP) before finally making my way up the scary mountain where I encounter the ancient lightning dragon Senessax who is ridiculously strong but I can run past, followed by Bayle the Dread himself at the mountain summit who has no problems smashing me into paste.
So much fire!
Alas, it is finally time to switch from the great club to... Ancient Dragon-Man's dragon-hunter's great katana! This thing is amazing, and with my mimic and Igon's archery Bayle is taken down - but he manages to finish off Igon. Senessax turns out to be a more challenging fight because he's sitting in a lake which conducts his electricity so there's a lot of horseback jumping involved over numerous attempts before the ancient dragon is defeated. I may have also accidentally killed the Dragon Priestess by giving her a drink bottle from Thollier... oops?
