tips for bayle the dread?

[Ambassador of Bruh]

This fight is incredibly difficult and I find myself barely able to get him down to half health. I am 7 levels into the scadu tree fragments and I am level 141.

get more scadush and ash levels

[Nerevar]

your scadu level is way too low. and 141 is also under the dlc base. 150 is the base for the dlc on normal levels and bayle is tuned for scadu 15 roughly.

the scadu levels and if you fight the dragon priestess she gives you an item that helps negate some more damage only thing is every failed attempt you gotta go back to her for it

At least 15 levels of Scadutree Blessings, and use the Dragon Hunter Katana and attack his stump.

Don't run away.

You need more fragments, I was past lv 170 with maxed Great Katana and Blessing 15/16.

He is still really tough and moves around erratically with his head, so for me it was a lot of waiting for him to the attacks where he leaves his head exposed and dodge away.

He'd be an awesome fight if the camera was better...

CURSE YOU BAYLE. This is the only fight I beat with no Scadu levels and also was my first boss. I didn't even know Dragon Priestess was a thing because she's at the opposite end of the map so if you kill Bayle you fail her quest and she dies. So you get punished for exploring. Thank you FromSoftware.

WTF really? I tried to follow the quest and completely missed this character, there was no one by the altar when I got there and I did try to find the Igon fellow but never did.

Oh right... it's because enemies, especially dragons, are tedious and obnoxious bs fights with janky camera and bloated damage now, so I just outright avoid these fights, so of course I missed him...

Same thing with the fancy night Katana from the fingers questline; I didn't know you need to hand Jolan an occultation item instead of the grace item, so I don't get that fancy katana and I am NOT replaying this garbage DLC for a weapon the game FORCES me not to use because enemies just go "high poise, health and damage go brrrr".

Elden Ring really is losing so much favor with me over this damn DLC...

use cold or zamor curved sword

[crossing blades]

CUUURRSSEEE YOU VILE BAYLE (what is it with everyone seemingly magnetizing to him for their first boss? not that I'm complaining, it's my new favourite souls fight, igon is the hype man of all time

[venerable]

hit his head

Yeah nooooooooo, not on this one, I like a story and the story was the main attraction for me, I have no reason to replay and after that disgusting reuse of the Twin Princes I am not even finishing that fight.

"U mad cuz bad, hurr hurr hurr"
I beat every other major boss in this DLC, I'm quitting because if I wanted to fight the Twin Princes, I'd play freaking DS3, not Elden Ring.
The moment I saw that "Final Boss" 2nd phase cutscene I went "nah done, pass", my patience is gone when the developer and writer flaunts their lack of imagination like that.
