They never fixed this 

Meanwhile he doesn't respawn for me on most of my characters. I used to farm him on every playthrough... Any idea why? I'm on PlayStation 4 with this issue.

Sorry but at a non english speaker, i don’t understand what « typo » means

A typo is when someone accidentally hits the wrong key on their keyboard while typing, leading to a wrong word or spelling. In this case one of the developers may have accidentally typed a "3" instead of a "4" while entering the event ID for the demon. @@user-en4qj9to8l

@@user-en4qj9to8ltyping mistake, replacing a letter with another usually.

@@DeuxisWasTaken ooohhh thanks, now i can understand a english joke i saw few time agi

There is an aggro wall on the bridge, get any ranged attacks and you should be good

I've put over 2k hours into the series, and around 800+ in DS1/DSR, and in my opinion, that guy is the hardest fight in the game.

what r u, a casul? lvl up ur adp

Dude its ds1, just abuse harvel armour set it's literally unkillable

@@KABLAMMATS In dark souls 1?

Bed of Chaos should have been optional.

@@INSIDEVIEWOFYOURMOTHER77 I mean the intent was to make a good fight for the intro cut-scene bosses, but it just never got finished and turned out terribly. So I think they should have either ditched Izalith and left it for a sequal or left it as is, as I'm sure they wouldn't have had to the time to make any big decisions that late in production

Could have gone the demon souls route of oh it's broken can't access it oh wellz anyways

Change the intro text to “The Witch of Izalith, so easily forgotten” and be done with it.

I mean makes sense, with how unfinished it is they probably added the titanite demon haphazardly, leading to this.

I still have PTSD from that jumping attack

His tail can sweep you out of that bridge. I hate it

The jump attack somehow hits like ten times, it reminds me of the elden ring bleed dogs... thankfully a roll away from where the demon will land will keep you safe 90% of the time if you're light rolling

Yeah, he is stronger and idk if it's the lighting of the place but his lightning bolt seems more orange instead of yellow.

Yup, that's why it didn't feel out of place to me. Wanna farm? Git gud. Crazy to think it was an accident.

Tip-toenite Demon 😂

Holy sh*t I legit thought it had its leg like this😂

I don’t think the effect was lost on Zullie. That thing is just too graceful to ignore.

Sticks his leggy out real far

@@DrEisenhower Do the stanky leg!

They could've have just... deleted the line of code that prevents it from respawning instead of putting in a typo...

Smaller changes make less ripples.

or comment it out, the typo is odd.

Pretty much. All versions of the game has the same behaviour, this isn't something that only happens in the X360 version. Also all this talk about Lost Izalith being rushed is mostly meme, the entire game has scrapped ideas, even if Lost Izalith isn't that good the amount of work in that place is greater than a lot of other areas like Nitto or Seath area. The only true unfinished area is the last Archstone from Demons Souls.

It's not impossible that deleting that line would've caused other, probably worse errors. That area is quite unfinished, so cause and effect might be quite convoluted there.

There was an actual shortcut i think and it involves giving a certain number of humanity to quelana. At the end of her room, can't remember, is a gate that opens to the bridge where the titanite demon was.

@@quindecim577It’s 30 humanity. The advantage is you get an extra fireball spell if you level up in the covenant.

​@@quindecim577Nope. Giving her 30 humanities allows you to open the door in that hallway before the titanite demon, but that hallway is located deep in Demon Ruins, not in Quelana's room. It's right after the gold fog gate opened by placing the Lordvessel.

just use the hidden bonfire in the lava area, i've never timed it but the run shouldn't be any longer and you don't have to deal with noface here

@@weatherman1504 I see. I might have forgotten. I was just remembering one of my playthrough where solaire didn't die on the other side of the door. In that playthrough, i passed through that hallway early on.

That's what made it the perfect accident.

Whether or not the Titanite Demon uses its jump attack is the difference between a normal Bed of Chaos runback, and a spicy one.

@@baka_monogatari3389 The strategy I eventually developed was equipping the silence and invisibility rings to reduce the demon’s aggression. Worked surprisingly well

Now imagine the shortcut wasn't there and you had to run up from the Zombie Dragon Leg Lava Lake every time. I'll take the respawning demon, he's easy to run by and ignore.

lol exactly this! Included a change in my mod that made the Demon in Anor Londo respawn instead because of that

"There are no accidents"

This demon can still be killed via the other side of the bridge even if you don't open the door via the covenant

It could have been an accident that wasn't picked up in QA for the first one perhaps. But there have been multiple releases and even a remaster that all preserve it. Sure an argument could be made for "maintaining the original experience". But I genuinely believe the infinite demon tite resource to be a good idea. My only issue with it is it being in the path of the bed of chaos runback and has a one shot hit.

that gate was super weird anyways

"Wait, who respawned this demon here??? ... 😮‍💨 I suppose we can allow them a SINGLE ray of mercy..."

It's an incredibly poorly placed mob. The narrow bridge is just such a shit arena to fight it in.

Same

maybe that's why they left in the typo.

@@serpens_ignis Dark Souls is supposed to fuck you over sometimes, that's part of the fun

@@serpens_ignis Also lightning spears are the way to go

I agree. My first encounter with the one in the Undead Parish that immediately starts shooting lightning at you once you go downstairs had me terrified on my first play through. The large catch-pole, rock hard skin, and facelessness of the beast further accentuates its menacing aura.

Their design is really cool. From Soft has alot of great designs and I agree that the Titanite Demon is one of the best.

Dark Souls 1 has the coolest enemy designs overall still. Bloodborne is a close second tho.

They're so... Alien? I can totally believe they're from another plane of existence and that writing on where their head should be makes them feel even more eldritch.

@@htspencer9084 It is totally possible that they are remnants of a time before the dragons.

Dog you’re still commenting on shit?

4 out of 4. Izalith has demon titinate, the crystal caves twinkling, new londo standard, and the graveyard white.

Crystal Caves and Izalith also have both Blue and Red varieties. the crystal bufferflies in the caves can very rarely drop blue slabs, and chaos eaters can drop red.

And if we want to count it as a bonus, the Kiln of the First Flame has the only respawning black knights, which you can farm for all the titanite chunks and a full set of Black Knight Armor and weapons.

never change lautrec

Me too

How do you farm slabs?

​@@alessandrocesaretti3671 dark wraiths in New Londo. Absurdly rare.

Plus it's near the end of the game when you get there, might as well let them farm to max upgrade their preferred weapon for the final boss

Plus plus it is clearly MUCH stronger than the others making it more realistic for it to be a respawning enemy since more risk should give more reward

this guy is a grand master of slow pan shots

The bonfire in the lava field is where I do BoC run backs.

One thing I've always wanted to know about Fromsoft is their level design process. Do you think they use various frustration meters during level design brainstorming sessions, or have come up with an otherwise objective way to measure frustration?

Given the Lake of Rot exists, I very much believe they aim for frustration and annoyance. How they measure it though? No clue.@@shambleshef

I feel like they must have it down to a science by now. This isn't to bash, just am legitimately curious about the extent of their knowledge. I feel like they probably have some psychology specialists working on the level/gameplay design team or something like that.

⁠@@sagadeathwitchdon't quote me on this but I remember Miyazaki in an interview was asked why he put in so many poison swamps. He responded that he knew they were hated but he loved them so much he wanted to put them in anyway.

Arent the final upgrades limited in all the games? Been a few years since I played DS1 though... Didnt that also use slabs for the final upgrade?

​@@supremebuffalo6322 You can technically farm titanite slabs in DS1, there are some enemies that have a very small chance of dropping them.

​@@supremebuffalo6322Dark Wraiths drop slabs

DS2 also technically has infinite titanite farming via rare drops IF you play company of champions mode (which gives enemies unlimited respawns but makes them slightly harder)

​@@shambleshefYou can also farm smooth and silky stones, and I think that you can farm petrified something by using bonfire ascetics. Both of those items have a chance to give you a slab at the birds.

Titanite Demon boss fight where it has both its legs, so when the fight starts it just fucking sprints straight at you and starts punching.

​@@hematite2 stop! I had a panic attack just thinking about it.

They ever explain why they were missing their legs? Probably not. Maybe they were chipped away at while they were still alive by giants or something. Maybe they never HAD them. They could have sacrificed them. I never thought about it before, but yeah, they are pretty stinkin cool. They kind of act like gatekeepers too, usually blocking off areas. Could be a game design thing, could be a world building thing....or both. Gotta wonder. But yeah, a healthy titanium demon would be a nightmare. He'd probably just whittle clubs to smack you over the head, while running circles around you WHILE reinforcing them.

​@@Klausinator451Maybe Havel broke off their legs to make his armor lmao

@@AppleOfThineEye YOINK! Probably not even for a crucial part. Something silly like.... THE MOHAWK OF INTIMIDATION. seriously, what's the point of that lump there? I feel like it gave havel spinal pain.

I can see myself doing that.

As a game dev you would just use your DEV tools to respawn it or reset it, you wouldn't mess with that script. It would make sense if you wanted to send out an internal test version for QA to test it, but even then, the way it's broken makes no sense, when they could just disable the script itself, or remove it for testing. The fact that it's just a typo make is almost guaranteed to be a mistake and not intentional, and we all know how technically incompetent fromsoft devs actually are xD

@@meyes1098 This is all well and good but you're assuming their dev tools aren't also a clunky mess

​@@chavzoneThis is basic stuff,their tools are more than capable of doing.

That's assuming I could be assed to make an easy button for targeting and flagging a specific enemy in-game to respawn when for much less effort I can comment out a single line of code and be done with it

It might have originally been an error and they decided to leave it alone. Or maybe they never even noticed. But no competent programmer would deliberately disable a script in this manner. There are several easier, cleaner, better ways to do it, like adding // to the beginning of the line. Leaving the script active and changing the reference runs the risk of nasty unintended consequences down the line.

Any color of slab? I want to hear about other slabs (Since my family hadn't got a computer, me being 12 years old and never actually interested about Souls games, I don't know jacksh1t)

@@cevatkokbudak6414 DS1 had an overly complex upgrading system, with you needing different colors of titanite for upgrading different weapons. You had normal, blue, green, red, white and demon titanite, and also twinkling titanite for armor and dragon scales for dragon weapons. Pain in the ass to collect

@@satori5185 Wow

Blue slabs are the worst since they only drop from those asshole butterflies in the Crystal Cave.

I feel like the guaranteed 2 slabs you get from Stray Demon and the chest in Kalameets boss arena are sufficient for most playthroughs. I personally have typically decided what type of build I'm going for while I'm picking my starting class. Plus you can always just dupe some humanity and farm slabs from dark wraiths if you really wanna upgrade more than 2 weapons per new game cycle. I think the crystal lizards in the great hollow also have a chance to drop them.

Zelda

Or, they remade him, over and over again so it can always protect it.Heck, maybe he remade himself, even if he doesn't wants to (Shin Godzilla ahh life)

Think there's a mechanic where all the Titanite Demons get stronger with each one you kill as well, so that one respawns and has the strongest base stats AND gets a boost depending on how many you extinctified.

​@@greenhowieIf that's true, that is some truly sadistic game design. And I wouldn't put it past Fromsoft to do that.

​@@greenhowieThat ain't true, though.

@@integralcialbay4633 ah, my bad. Could have sworn I saw a video explaining that.

Lions or saints?

@iR3dyOfficial Lions but they struggle a bit. I'm a Bears fan but need lions to win cause I'm delusional and still hoping for a playoff spot lol

This is my head canon now instead of just "dev typed wrong number" 😂

You aren't supposed to be able to max out all your equipment in one run, that's why there are limited titanite slabs.

In almost all other souls games u cannot max out all boss weapons so i doubt they would mind that annoyance to the player 🤷

@@Thebdippy You can farm Titanite Slabs from Darkwraiths in New Londo. In fact, you can farm any upgrade material in DS1 endlessly.

In Ds2 the stone soldiers in Drangleic Castle drop Titanite Slabs.

The UI too

​@@curtismcpsycho8212especially the controls, because the main reason I haven't played Dark souls 3 is the changes to the controls. I need to buy a new gamepad to be able to play Dark souls 3 properly.

Kinda scared of the idea cause a lot of stuff they churned out actually ended up being very cool and unique, which can't be said about DS3 for example. Having every level being "well designed" from a same template makes them more homogenous, same for bosses. I still prefer bead of chaos to your now usual fromsoft 3 phases of rolling galore cause it isn't another attempt at making same dang challenge new again with few roll catchers and teleports behind your back. The entire appeal of games from DeS to DS2 is being taken to wild places and forced to do wild things kinda Zelda style. The world truly felt like it wasn't made for you with narrow bridges and walls fighting against your moveset n stuff

@@vazazell5967 I didnt know wrong opinions existed, but you had to go and prove me wrong huh

@@g76agi said like a true ds3 pleb. Go back to playing Ubisoft ring

It could have been a game with fewer stray dragon asses

@vazazell5967 So what youre saying is you like dragon asses and the bed of chaos??

Not really, there's an obscured bonfire that's somewhat along the way to the respawning demon.

@@kingdomcome3914 which one ? the one near the dragon bottoms is pretty far

​@@AR-zd1hd The bonfire in front of Quelaag's Sister, which is the closest bonfire to the Bed of Chaos
