Nope, I beat Bayle a while ago but this was my first time beating him.
It took me literally 8 hours of my 30 hour SOTE experience to beat the Consort lmfao. And in that footage, when you see me switching to a single axe to guard from the light nuke, that was sheer desperation and not something I attempted until that exact moment.
I have never experienced a boss that hard in my entire life. I stayed true to my commitment not to summon but I did have to resort to YouTube guides for a few of his attacks. Legit I think he has a few attacks that you are simply not supposed to react to and either straight up predict them or just pray he doesn’t use them. I could be having a flawless run and then he’d just zero to death me immediately. I will say though, I felt as though he didn’t have any Waterfowl level bullshit, he just had an ultra high skill ceiling. He also wasn’t a war crime like Maliketh, just stupidly fucking hard.
I plan on doing a boss tier list later.
I actually could stance break him but it depended entirely on how aggressive he was and if he gave me the right punish windows in sequence. It was rare that I stance broke him though, I maybe only stance broke him 10 times in 8 hours.

My Shadow of the Erdtree boss tier list:
I am glad to say that there were no F tier bosses in this DLC of the ones I experienced. Rellana came damn close but I think if they tweak her a little bit, she could be great. As things stand she’s just too cracked for a colossal weapon enjoyer such as myself. The Golden Hippopotamus and its clones were also crap but at least they weren’t overly challenging.
For the most part, I think Elden Ring’s rememberance bosses for me sit around the B-A tier. The Putrescent Knight pushed C tier for his annoyance but overall I don’t think he was bad. The Lion Dance was also quite frustrating but my Scadutree blessing wasn’t leveled so maybe it wasn’t the boss itself.
The big three standouts were of course Messmer, Bayle, and the Consort.
Messmer was frustrating as hell to learn but once I learned him I loved him. His move set was super cool and he had some outrageous lore that completely shook up my understanding of all the lore.
Bayle was just so peak. I didn’t think FROM would surpass Midir for dragon fights but for me Bayle was that guy. His buildup and the battle itself was the most peak shit in the DLC.
Lastly, the consort. I struggled for a while on what I thought of this boss, but beating him was the most memorable experience in all of Elden Ring. I have my own problems with the lore of this battle, and he’s not a perfect boss, but for me he was the perfect combination of spectacle and difficulty. So I give him a tentative SS for now. Definitely either the best or second best boss in Elden Ring beside Bayle.
