The actor behind Shadow of the Erdtree's best NPC didn't think videogame voice acting was all that until 'mysterious' Miyazaki opened his eyes

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree dragon boss named Bayle the Dread summoning lightning from the sky in a red and black arena.

If you've been anywhere on Elden Ring's corner of the internet recently, you'll have almost certainly been bombarded with the sound clip of a man screaming the words, "Curse you, Bayle."
