Well, I was trying to do what @Fzanco (I hope I got their name right) was doing. Full lvl 2 Fenris set (but additionally with fire protection potion), Lvl 3 Frostner, Lvl 3 Black Metal shield. I also have the bow with me (Lvl 3 Draugr Fang with 20odd frost arrows and 60odd needles). Also the Black Metal atgeir (Lvl 3) for mobs.

I'm not a fan of digging moats or under altars. I just plop my portal down, hop over and start the fight. If things go south, I jump through the portal, pick me up and continue the fight.

That's how my last boss fights have been. Usually die once during the fight.

As said, it's a middlish island. His spawn point is very close to a bay in the north east.

Seed is Pct2NspXkR.

Edit: I usually try to contain the boss to their spawn points as much as I can to not draw unwanted attention from the other denizens on this island. So far, this has worked out pretty well.

Edit2: I also have a full lvl 3 padded armor set with me, if need be. But I'd like to keep the fire protection of the Fenris set.

Based on your armor and weapons and your intention to fight the boss toe to toe, I can't help but feel your success in downing them may be questionable. Each boss tends to have different methods that can conspired against you.

If you need to be able to move around the area to engage him and would potentially get other mobs from other parts involved, then that of course would influence your decisions.

2 Easiest methods to down yagluth:

1. Large 2 star wolf pack on him when he spawns (kill yag in seconds.) You can either bring the mass pack to the altar or build a sizable breeding pen there which also converts the altar into a reusable arena if you need to kill them more than once in the future(afterall we do not know the current yagluth's place holder item's function/need yet.

2. Floor clip method: I suggest looking this one up on youtube to better understand as its harder to write about. It essentially involved making a semi shallow put, having flooring above it that you can place fast after spawning the boss, he'll come to you and wont aggro but part of his body will clip through the flooring allowing you to knife em to death without any chance of his attacking you.
