The Lost Potential of Lost Izalith 

Better than most youtube apologies

load music

Data miners found out lost Izalith was supposed to be a swamp, hence the tree branches in the lava. As for the boss fight, use a shield, the sweeping arms can be blocked Laurentius goes hollow because he can't find quelana, his pyromancy flame is too weak. Siegmeyer is an incredibly strong character, stat wise but he doesn't plan ahead and gives up at the first sign of trouble. He gives up when he sees the gate at sence fortress, he gives up at Anor Londo, he gives up in the swamp because he didn't pack enough moss and finaly gives up at ash lake because he didn't pack any homeward bones. And it is our fault! He doesn't prepare for the task ahead, and tries to wing it, gets into trouble and we the player bail him out everytime, making him feel inadiquate. If we left him allone at sence fortress or any other point, he would have been forced to figure things out for himself or forced to accept teamwork. The weird thing is, he never helps us as a summon, even Lautrec is more usefull to the player then he is.

Yes, I just haven't brought that up yet but I will be bringing it up in the next segment.

I read a written interview where Miyazaki himself says that when you summon Solaire to assist with taking down Gwyn, he ends up linking the flame in his own world, and quite literally becomes the sun he was searching for.

​@@LavenderRex7705Damn, just saw the new vid... good stuff man!

​@@realstreetjesus1953 wasnt it stated somewhere, that solaire canonocally linked the fire when you play ds3?

@@blizzi8428 i dont think so, supposedly it was the chosen undead because Soul of Cinder takes after the look of the elite knight set, which is how the chosen undead is often portrayed in cover art and promotional material. it would also explain why the first phase uses so many different builds, since the chosen undead is also not a defined character despite having a "canon" look

It always reminds me of Warwick Davis

The Lord of Bones!

To me, it completely sounds like low-bitrate audio and it makes no sense

@@gimmedataids skeletons have a low bitrate

I never really thought about that. What the fuck.

now that soulstruct for blender is out, i feel like it's only a matter of time before someone drops an area overhaul mod with a revitalized izalith in it. a revitalizalith if you will

@@ace-smith I hope so. Modders can make this area into what it was meant to be

​@@ace-smithKing Bore was working on a mod that turns Izalith into a swamp before health issues put him on an indefinite hiatus

This is how I always count them too. I think some people discredit the two either side of Bed of Chaos and Ceaseless arena.

I assumed it was a decoy corpse because the clothing you pick up is described as Quelanas

I always thought the one that attacks you before Bed of Chaos WAS Quelana, just gone hollow.

@@LavenderRex7705 Its simply a trace of earlier concept, when you had to kill Quelana for her set. They decided to make it drop on-level but forgot to change its description, confusing the heck out of people.

​@@FatherTime39 I know I'm late, but you can actually visit Quelana after defeating Bed of Chaos. She even gives you a reward iirc

It's a design that has grown on me more and more!

Reminds me of mukadender from ultraman

How is that a joke? It literally was rushed.

You get the same ending if his HP falls too low. Not a happy ending.

I think the happy ending is when he dies to the eaters because he'll die knowing he helped you instead of you helping him all the time which demoralized him

I think it and him having low hp during fight with eaters both imply that he lost his will to fight and went hollow.

​@@nayyarrashid4661 If his HP gets too low he dies. If you kill the chaos eaters he doesn't.

@@ThyBigCheddar If you kill the chaos eaters before he jumps down he goes hollow anyway. He thinks he is a failure and never goes to Ash Lake.

While we're at it dark souls 2 deserves one too.

It has a remastered version though. Modern graphics, 60fps. Good stuff. That's what I got for PC.

@@EmptyxVoid i was thinking something more complete, reworking the game's weaker parts like the second half.

A well made remake would be very, very nice but what this game actually really need is an ACTUALLY good remaster. The remastered version as an standalone game is not bad but as a remaster is very disappointing.

Demon's Souls as well. I would love to see the land of the giants. Dark Souls first though, so much left out.

I really believe that it was intended to be something more, but they ran out of time. Izalith as a whole is an area plagued by rushed development when it was clearly meant to be so much more developed and involved

I definitely feel similarly. I just wish the level was a bit more interesting to match just how cool everything surrounding it is.

I agree with this, demons a pyromancy are my favourite lore in DS1

Agreed. A lot of people just read about it before playing it and it sets a bad image in their head which determines the outcome. Most others just jump on the bandwagon just like with everything else. If you ask people who played it blind and are older than 12 (so they can figure how to beat the Bed of Chaos which honestly is very easy.) you’ll find that most people actually enjoyed it and at the very least found the lore and area extremely intriguing.

@@LavenderRex7705 Yeah while it welt a but unfinished and the lava wallking and bed of chaos sucked...i did enjoy it in a way It really did feel like a lost city that is ruined, only inhabited by demons and not a place you are supposed to be. Like it is nto made for your convience That would not make for a good game normally but i feel it worked when it was really just Lost Izalith that was like that.

Same here. I don't hate the area or anything, it just makes me sad to think of all the potential it had to be so much better and more fleshed-out than it ended up being. That potential is palpable.

Fat rolling

@@spagootest2185 ah yes of course ty ☝️😌

he git gud

Hes built different

Kirk is always on the chase

woah, I didn't know that, that's awesome

Dark Souls Remastered Remake

@@LavenderRex7705 honestly, although it's never going to happen probably, I'd love to see a Dark Souls Remake where they can just take their time and do everything they wanted to do in the original, no matter how long it takes, when I see these unfinished areas and even some of the cut content, I can't help but wonder what this could've been if it had all the time in the world to be made. well, at least we have Elden Ring today which, while not it it's probably the CLOSEST we will ever get of something like this lol

Tomb of the giants gives both of them a run for their money lmao

Lol I didn’t even notice that Solaire got in the way there.

You have very eloquently put to words how I feel about the earlier Souls games. Thank you.

Oh man I really like this interpretation of his questline

We didnt hold him at swordpoint and force him to go there? We told him where to go, and he made a conscious effort. He's not my kid, whatever happened to him is 100% his fault lmao.

Anything butt them

maybe a bunch of different demons chunks. some butts, some torsos with arms, who knows!

nah i love them

They actually wanted the dragon butts to be attached to a dragon sitting on a ledge in an area above and hitting it would start a miniboss. Obviously they ran out of time for this though

I couldn't agree more. The closest From got to giving me a similar feeling as this game was armor core 1, but for different reasons and not a game i would recommend to just anyone cause of the dated look and controls.

The “remaster” barely did anything at all. Nothing was reworked.

@@AcidBathSpaandResort-tn7km Well not entirely true, the infamous frame rate bug was fixed in Blighttown which was a massive bug that they couldn’t fix in the past. Between that and the visuals I think it’s the best version of the game to play.

@@AcidBathSpaandResort-tn7km Because that's what a remaster is - not a remake. You don't remake or rework stuff for a remaster.

​@@AcidBathSpaandResort-tn7km multiplayer worked 100 times better in rework too

while i can see your point, im still not happy with the state of Izalith. It was clearly rushed from a gameplay perspective and the game suffers from it. Izalith could be so much more impactful. Lore wise, it could be one of the most important parts of the game. It was rushed and could be so much better. Think of the DLC compared to Izalith.

This is the first time on the internet I can say someone is actually coping... damn...

explain?

If you kill the glowing bug you actually safe Solaire

interesting glitch where the orange charred ring can drop from the arm of the centipede demon, allowing you to cheese the fight by equipping it then and there strange bug where iron golem can fall entirely off the platform if you knock him down in the right spot, cheesing the whole thing there's this glitch where if you deal enough damage to the four kings you can beat them without even fighting all four kings, total cheese moment

Yeah! I plan on revisiting some of the older videos to see if I want to revise anything and then stitch it all together into one big video.

@@LavenderRex7705 That's what BertoPlease did with his Elden Ring 1.00 series so you have the right idea lol.

@@minerman60101 That video is so good

@@LavenderRex7705 my youtube comments are in it so I am obliged to think the same thing :happy_thonk:

bruh ... my feels

Well you change anything about the original game and the community starts throwing a hissy fit, case and point Demons Souls

@@shizukousapostle1stapostle710 you right. maybe theyll release a remake instead of a remaster at some point...

A remaster doesnt include changing comtent. That would be a remake.

@@eightcoins4401 Very fair. I think a dark souls remake needs to be made! There's a lot wrong with the game that could be so much better.

gotta cope somehow

Thank you! We are almost near the end of the first dark souls game!

Good luck actually hitting that thing

That’s a genius plan honestly. If that’s what he did, he successfully tricked me and his daughter.

Thank you!!

I hope not. That would be quite evil.

Which souls game has better map design?

@@traktorholik So my biggest problem with DS1 fans is that they hold the map design as one of the top 2 reasons the game is the best in the trilogy (Lore is the 2nd reason and the lore is great and sets up the next 2 games, no arguing about that reason). But I think the Bosses better in 3, I think 2 improves on weapon movement with the character and PVP is better on both sequels than the original. The control feel "clunky" in DS1 rather than 2 or 3. Plus, I never liked the lack of fast travel before Anor Londo. I am a grown man, I don't have time to manage were I run around to in a video game. Just get me from point a to point b. To answer your question, I like DS3 map design. I know it is somewhat Linear compared to DS1, but at least it does so in a way to try and tell the story. If you want that feeling of "Wow, that place connects here!" They give you that in the Cathedral of the Deep and Lotheric Castle with some of the elevators. There are a couple of times where you can branch off and chose a path 1st, like heading to the Cathedral of the Deep or go to fight the Abyss Watchers, and again after the Dancer and can choose 1st to go into the consumed garden or go to Lotheric Castle (They do this in DS2 as well in Majula). There are even areas that are optional that you have to discover or do not have to go to like Smouldering Lake, the Consumed Garden or Arch Dragon's Peak. Graphics also look better in this game, so I give that a plus to map design. From Software had a chance to remaster the game and flopped on the quality of the graphics and controls. It was just a re-release P.S. I think in Early DS1 map "Layout" is great. Overall map "design" and end game map design and layout, like in this guy's video, I think is inferior to it's sequels.

​@@thesilvershroud5227 the first half map design of DS 1 is still strong enough to stand above every other souls game as a whole, there are bad areas late game but which souls games don't have bad areas? Who in good faith will argue that Farron keep is a good area or Road to sacrifice is well designed. Both are flat as a pancake you are mostly walking through and it's in the mid game right after a good map in Undead settlement.

@@shizukousapostle1stapostle710 I don't think half of one aspect of a game should be the reason one game is better than the rest. That claim alone is what many DS1 fans say makes the game superior over the sequels.That was mentioned in my explanation to @traktorholik. Also, is Blight town and the depths included in the 1st half of the map design, because I don't know anyone who actually enjoys those areas, and I think can be compared to Farron Keep and Road of Sacrifices.
