All major bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree at the lowest level and the hardest difficulty, including Bayle the Dread, done on Patch 1.13.2, which featured a much harder version of Consort Radahn

This DLC challenge lasted around 79 hours, totaling my playtime on this RL1 character to 210 hours. The hardest challenge Ive ever completed in Souls games, including my 207 bosses permadeath run previously in Elden Ring.

The boss design in the DLC has a wide range of quality. It contains the worst major bosses and the best major bosses in the entire game, Metyr and Messmer being the best examples for the vast variability.

With this challenge completed it almost feels like Elden Ring truly ended for me, I love the game to death and a challenge like this feels extremely climactic. I have no plans in stopping, but maybe after sinking 500 hours into the game in 2 months, I can play some other stuff with good conscience now.

Regarding Metyr:
Metyrs kill is the most unique SL1/RL1/BL4 kill Ive ever done, its the only kill done without melee.
Theres a simple reason - the fight is absolute dogshit. She has very annoying huge hitboxes on multiple moves, can spawn finger enemies, has nigh-undodgeable lasers in the second phase, has a tiny arena for the size of the attacks and the second phase undodgeable spinning laser is just the tip of the iceberg. Yes, its dodgeable with a missable ash of war from the base game - which I dont have on my character.
I tried fighting with melee for a very long time but once I realized that it was down to pure luck whether I lived through the second phase spin, I gave up and used the thorns spell.
Melee only is possible, it just requires a very passive playstyle which is slow, annoying and relies on baiting slow moves instead of actually engaging the boss.
Good riddance. Metyr was not worth the time it takes to clear the finger ruins.
