Just realized "scadu" is shadow. It's very close to an old english word for shadow, and also somewhat conforms to what the Japanese often do in Japanifying English words. For more examples of this that I found interesting, see the Alice in Borderland Japanese show on Netflix. All of the characters have JapEngrish names that have phonetic matches in the Alice in Wonderland story.
Anyway, now I can say this as "Shadowtree" in my head, and I can be at ease. "SKADOO" was really weird to me.

I heard that the Scadu both carries over and respawns, so you kinda need to get all 20 levels before NG+ so you can get more levels next time.

Don’t worry because you’re not missing much. It’s a guaranteed great ghost glovewort.

Could also be adderall. Back when I was on that stuff I would hyperfocus on whatever I was doing. Could spend 10 hours on a project without stopping and not even realize the time had gone by. It would be very conducive to doing wild challenges like level 1 no hit.
Only level 1 run I ever did in these games was Dark Souls 1 as a pyromancer, which it turns out is actually not that hard at all. Most of their power comes from the Pyromancy Flame rather than levels, and you have plenty of souls to level the PF up if you aren't leveling. Was a bit of a glass cannon, but very doable.
Similar deal with the Gun-Only Bloodborne run. Looks difficult on paper, turns out to be fairly easy in practice. Focusing solely on Bloodtinge and using the right buffs causes your gunshots to chunk bosses, at range no less.

Someone with more experience than me needs to do a definitive "best DLCs of all time" analysis so we can find out who the winner is between SOTE, XB2, Torna, Witcher 3's two DLCs, and Iceborne. Or perhaps something else entirely. Cyberpunk?
Scholar of the First Sin and Witcher 3 could be contenders for #1 if the analysis combined the DLCs for a particular game. I'd rather keep them separated out. Ivory King is certainly a top ten DLC on its own, I would think. Old Hunters and Artorias of the Abyss are arguably high up as well.

Finally met Metyr and actually one-shot her. The fight didn't seem particularly challenging and her health was surprisingly low. Can mark her off the list of remaining bosses though.
Ditto for Putrescent Knight, which totally shocked me. I hadn't even attempted him again since I first discovered him last week. Came back just to show one of our sons how ridiculously OP the bosses are in the DLC. Survived the initial onslaught and before I knew it, he was half health. I might've gotten a little lucky on a dodge roll or two off the horse charge but I guess it was just one of those fights where things fell into place and he died without too much fuss.
He's been replaced with Midra, whom I just discovered earlier today. Seems like a fun guy.
So, Messmer, Bayle, Midra, Scadtree Avatar and then the last boss.

I'm amazed at how many actual bosses they've packed into this DLC. I still haven't found either Metyr or Midra. Still have [censored] Final Boss and Bayle encountered but un-killed, but only a single attempt on either. My inventory has 7 remembrances, which means there are at least 11, possibly more total?
Multiple areas completely unexplored but I've canvassed the areas I HAVE explored pretty thoroughly. I watched Vaati's exploring gravesite plain video yesterday evening while playing and I had found every single thing he highlighted in the vid.

There's 10, Bayle's Heart isn't a remembrance (which sucks because there's still two options to use it on and it cannot be duped).
