Dark Souls: Boss Fight! Demon Firesage Gameplay Movie (PS3)

[Littlewater]

Maybe I just havent seen enough vids but Im so glad that my strength is in parries and back stabs... I hate heavy armor and weapons...

[Burnhorizons]

Whoever's playing sucks ass at this game... majorly.

[anonimatox123]

im wondering if this guy knows how to play...this boss is really easy

[biostyle]

Looks like a chicken-version of Belial, the first boss from Devil May Cry 4.

[SelcouthFish]

I would just like to raise the point that the choice of having the Asylum Demon, Stray Demon, and Demon Firesage all be the same boss (essentially) might have been intentional. Because this boss/mini-boss recurs throughout the game, From Software may have been attempting to give the impression that they are one of the lowliest, most common demons in the Dark Souls world. I don't have any proof to back this idea, but I myself thought this was quite reasonable.

[Drallanator]

@SelcouthFish I saw something that said the Demon Firesage was "the first demon". It was in an item description.

You'd think "the first demon" would have some sort unique appearance.

[loltommi]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL HAHAHAHAHAHA OMG It took you 6 min++ to take down this demon... I met this one today and gave him about 1 min to live. use the scyth even not fully upgraded to take this monster down. Weak spot is under his belly and when he is trying to put ur face up his ass.. simply just move away...

[xLoyalOrange]

Nicely done but why would you use a lightning spear on your own? Check out my mates video, his youtube username is lewisy09

[BloodyBloodPeker]

lol, I killed him w/ pyromancy :DDDDD

[ShaudX]

When i saw this, this is the first thing i thought of: "Jeez, that boss looks just like the Stray Demon back on the tutorial level"....

Maybe the same tactics i did on that level, without getting hit even once, would work too?

[flamingmanure]

woow some of these comments just astonish me...i guess nothing can please some ppl...not even heaven...ppl like that should just kill them selves or something, why live life if such small and childish details bother you so? to the extent that you call a game as mother fucking legendary as this a joke? u know it probably made a joke out of u instead and ur pissed...tell u what if one of u have half the talent in one of the game designers dick then i am impressed, but if not then shut the fuck up.

[Zer0CoolxD]

0:56 UFFFFS

[snarfmaster411]

dark souls makes trailer look like shit

[TayTay220]

2nd try as sorcerer

[MrDrNarwhal]

I guess you could call this fight...

*Puts on Glasses*

A Ball Buster

[TBird4490]

@MrDrNarwhal YEAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

[Chazman2705]

@MrDrNarwhal YEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!

[stevo6448]

@MrDrNarwhal yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

[Aldridge517]

This is a game of ENDURANCE.

[CrimsonWilder2226]

@Aldridge517 and patience lots and lots of patience.

[tzeentch5]

All of Izalith was a joke, the only 'unique' enemies there are the annoying floating statue things, the walking octopus tornadoes, those annoying rock bugs, and then the unique bosses, Bed of Chaos (what a joke), Ceaseless Discharge (another joke), and the Centipede Demon (a joke on the camera), everything else is a repeat and a reskin, the bounding demons are undead dragon butts, the lesser capra demons aren't even reskinned, and the 20+ taurus demons is just pathetic.

[AnObeseAardvark]

@tzeentch5 I personally enjoyed the Centipede Demon a lot, it both design and in the actual fight. Other than that, I agree. The entire zone was lazy and an absolute nightmare to get through.

[HereticKain]

its exactly like the stray demon under the north undead asylum.. but with a new paint job. :D

[FFJabarr]

I was going to buy this but then I remembered I already own Demon's Souls

[FloridaKnightGamer]

This boss failed so hard, he just kept trying to butt slam me XD

[TheSummerService]

I got bored shitless watching this.

[brainwasher9876]

@darkiscoolz a spiritual successor, whatever. You know what I mean. It took demons' souls' formula and updated it, it means for all intents and purposes it's a sequel in all but name. And my point is that as a design decision, it was shitty. Because reskinning things is lazy. I'd rather have no boss at all than a reskinned one.

[MfZiggy123]

@brainwasher9876 Its not meant to be a reskinning its meant to be a demon of fire from the same demon race.

[brainwasher9876]

@MfZiggy123 not all of the demons in dark souls had to be in the same race, it's just a sorry excuse from From imho.

[DANIEL3351]

@brainwasher9876 so this boss is exactly the same as the first one?

[brainwasher9876]

@DANIEL3351 almost identical, yes. It has two extra attacks that uses the exact same animation as some of its old ones just a big ball of red appears in front of it.

[playstationextremist]

@brainwasher9876 yea, i was dissapointed that the demon firesage and the stray demon were the same thing as the Asylum Demon just with a few moves and one has fire or whatever. It was dissapointing since it took the same strategy to defeat all three of them too making the fight too easy :(

[AbsoluteThurbs]

@brainwasher9876 Then don't play sequels because that's what they do, mix the old with the new... first of all this is a mini boss, there are 3 of these in this game and they are guards, this one is guarding the real boss (The centipede Demon) the other two were guarding the asylum... i want my guards in matching uniforms.

[AbsoluteThurbs]

@AbsoluteThurbs So that's like saying you're mad that Star Wars used stormtroopers in more than one movie. They are not recycling, they are tying story together there is a big difference. should batman's Joker have only received one appearance because hes recycled news.. GET WITH THE PROGRAM

[brainwasher9876]

@AbsoluteThurbs you're equating stormtroopers, which appeared as cannon fodder in their millions, to the asylum demon and its reskinned appearances, which appear...three times. As bosses. Gigantic, statement bosses. Good job.

DC comics are notorious for recycling their crap, over and over again. There's a good reason why they aren't nearly as popular now as they were in the '70s. YOU get with the programme.

Good day.

[brainwasher9876]

@AbsoluteThurbs no, no and no. I'm all for reintroducing old elements from older games. I am NOT for recycling the same elements in the same game over and over. This has nothing to do with Dark Souls being a sequel.

All three asylum demon look-alikes are full bosses, as fog doors appear when you enter a room with them and the fact that they have the full boss hp bar. They are more "boss" than the taurus or capra demons, who later appear as regulars.

[Lifeless9619]

@brainwasher9876 eh, does it really matter? each of the reskinned "Demon Bosses" was just a way of pointing out that it isnt a unique species, wouldnt it be wierder if you killed one of these guys then never saw another one for the rest of the game? the minor changes in each one also trains people to adapt their strategy just ever so slightly for each one up, try fighting the stray demon with the exact same strategy you used on te asylum and youll get raped, same for the firesage.

[brainwasher9876]

@Lifeless9619 almost every other boss is not repeated. I'd have much preferred the asylum demon look-alikes to later appear as regular enemies like the taurus and capra demons.

[brainwasher9876]

@darkiscoolz I expect sequels to improve upon their predecessors in a creative and fun way. Demons' Souls didn't feel the need to reskin anything, I don't see why they felt that it was impossible to make the demon firesage different.

[brainwasher9876]

@darkiscoolz if tweaking the stats of a boss is innovation, then lead is the same thing as gold.

[brainwasher9876]

Demon Firesage made me lose half of the respect I had for From (and I have a lot). I loved Demons' Souls because every boss fight was unique and that enemies were varied. When I saw that the stray demon was just the asylum demon again, I was disappointed but I thought, "ok it's a call back to the beginning cool". But when I saw the firesage I was simply disgusted. I never expected such laziness from you, From Software.

[13thcolossi]

These demons are known as lesser demons, simple tough minions. The Demon Firesage was one of the first demons to be able to harness the total control of fire.

[wyvrenkiller]

in some games you can just rampage on a boss to kill it but in dark souls you really need to be concentrated from start till finish of every fight if you want to succeed ... i love this game!

[camb1986]

Its the stray asylum demon firesage 3.0.1

[superfreegoat]

what shield is this?

[pleasedontbIockme]

no fire-shockwave in the first 30 seconds.

funny, if i try him he allready would have killed me with 3 in a row while i am trapped in a corner or at a tree.

[1TinyTrex]

I feel that this boss should be a unique example to the dicks below who think this is just an example of the makers getting bored and uncreative. You fight 3 demons like this and they are LESSER demons. This is not even really a proper boss as it is more a simple test to see if you are ready for the next area. I feel that these demons are simply the makers way of saying come back later then saying demon souls is better as every boss is different and you have no idea if your good enough.

[brainwasher9876]

@1TinyTrex uh huh. So, say if I made a game which had say 5 identical bosses (except the first four aren't on fire), and just scaled up the difficulty, it would mean that I was just testing my players, and not reskinning things and calling it a day right? Hell, I should go into game designing right now, that argument's totally valid. In fact let's make the first boss do fire and the second one lightning! Hot damn I must be a genius!

[nad330022]

This shit wouldn't fly in demons souls, bosses where all creative and each one unique, even the standard enemies had very little copy pasting

[yoeycrack1]

fuck he has to be cheating he got hit right in the frist 15seconds and he dint get hurt

[ElitistSponge]

@yoeycrack1 It's called a shield, broseph.

[Lazypackmule]

I hate this thing, I took the shortcut straight to the bed of chaos.

[UNFRKNBLVBL]

why dont u die?



[v0ngolavsky]

@UNFRKNBLVBL He's blocking, he probably has a shield that blocks 100% physical damage, he has pretty good endurance so he could keep it up. I think that's what your asking, can't really understand your question that much, sorry if I misunderstood.

[Hrannsi98]

ther are more of them i killed 2 alredy fuck

[thebroskeez]

This game makes me extra excited for Skyrim. Because they are dope as hell. Dark Souls is like the "intense, dieing, mysterious" type of game, and then Skyrim is just your average intense ass rpg (huge elder scrolls fan my whole life). These games combined... I might have to drop out of University and take up full time questing.

[Cressx]

Well in defense of the Asylum Demon...this guy has the fireblast that the stray demon has....so it is more like the Stray Demon

[PersianWolverine]

wow.. this game sucks heavy niggah cock

[GourangaPizza]

These are the few bosses (FireSage, Asylum, Stray, Gaping, Seath, Taurus) which I find it pointless to target lock on all times. Its pointless cus you are limiting your mobility and sometimes your attacks would miss cus you are aiming at its center not at other parts like legs or tails

[Emanfox333]

WOW this guy(his character) is a fucking badass he took that swing and took no damage, he had his shield up but my character took damage doing that Jesus he must by 5 times my lvl

[mastahaseo]

@Emanfox333 lol i killed that demon in 10 hits lol hit me up my psn name is terrorofdeath999 im lvl well i cant say i can just tell u it takes 5,000,000 souls to lvl up once now

[petersenct]

I hate this guy he SUCKS

[betomm1987]

hes the asylum demon's brother idiots.........except this is what you get when they have imbreed babys LOL fuckin aslyum demon crackbaby THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE

[Tullerman]

first time I get happy to see a commercial on youtube (skyrim)

[freecake1]

where is this guy?

[Mathijsss247]

After Ornstein and Smough its either demon ruins for the chaos witch soul, 4 kings for the 4 kings soul, nito for the gravelord soul or seath the scaleless for seaths soul. Order doesn't matter, but besides the mobs in the area chaos witch (demon bed or something) is by far the easiest one since its all about dodging, no real combat involved

[Mathijsss247]

And he's using lightning spear I guess. I'd use demon spear from anor londo since it seems to do more damage in the end. Dispite his name fire damage works aswell on him. He's an optional boss in the lower demon ruins. You get a special catalist from him.

[TheAdvancedHybrid]

Demons souls was easy because there was cheap way to kill the demons like traping them or hittig them throught the fog gate, but in this there's on of that you have to fight them head on except for this boss you can trap them behind one of the roots beside the wall...

[TerminalMontage]

there are 3 asylum demons

[simen904]

what weapon are you using ?

[OmegaReborn32]

Lets say you kill this beast and then you die will you have to kill the beast again?

[bigpacman11]

@OmegaReborn32

No, Bosses and some other rare mobs (like the poison snipers in Blighttown) die permanently after you kill them.

[MaxamillionGat]

@soulcrabber yo! faggle rock! you cant use magic unless you target him...

protip: fuck off...

[flyhighrover]

This boss is such an ass!! No matter where I dodge itll still hit me!! Fucking bullshit

[mastaxbudha]

@soulcrabber true true... in IRL i try to unzip my pants when i go to the restroom without using my hands....

makes it really "hardcore"

[Eleetnessful]

IS THIS THE BOSS UR SUPPOSED TO FIGHT AFTER SMOUGH AND ORNSTEIN?

THIS GUY IS FUCKING BANANAS

[crabK1LLaxPIRUx]

anyone know were to get the washing pole or Dragon greatsword

[kamacost]

@crabK1LLaxPIRUx washing pole is bought from Shiva. join forest hunter guild, talk to shiva in forest (outside the hut with the cat) then he shows up in blight town under the water wheel with it to be bought for 20k

[SOxKOOL]

is that shield deflecting the damage or is he dodging?

[jawa108]

Wow...talk about reskining the flipping asylum demon....

[nskpsycho]

@jawa108 well they both are demons but even so thats a bit lame i like unique bosses

[fantasticalNINJA]

@nskpsycho pretty sure its the shield that blocks melee damage

[nskpsycho]

@fantasticalNINJA wut? i think you're being a bit off topic there good sir

[Upup2211]

@jawa108 They poured gasoline on it and lit it on fire.

Problem? Unlike the Asylum Demon, this thing is a pain in the ass.

You also fight a wave of capra demons and a taurus demon to get to it.

[lamenotcool]

@Upup2211 you mean this thing is in the demon ruins? if not, then where is it?

[Gondonr]

@jawa108 I think there are more bosses in this game than most games so I forgive them... just this once.

[xRyuBu]

@jawa108 ... Someone doesn't care about the story...

[69LolTroll]

@jawa108 you also got the stray demon wich is identical to the asylum, but he wield a catalyst

[ahm317]

how can u make ur weapon electricuted?

[nskpsycho]

@ahm317 not sure since this isnt the gold pine resin effect maybe its an upgrade?

[dungeonraider22]

If I may ask, what shield were you using?

[Mathijsss247]

@dungeonraider22 Seems like artorias greatshield. Using the same but he is using alot more explosions on me so thats killing me

[boobeckett]

Er, ice spells maybe???

[Wil14]

This is just the asylum demon... on fire.



[nskpsycho]

@Wil14 IN SPACEEEEEEEEEE

[runescapeep1c]

@Wil14 no theres 3 diferent versions of him, 3 brothers.

[Wil14]

@runescapeep1c ....and where are you getting this information?

Why can't they be sisters?

[runescapeep1c]

@Wil14 well they could be sisters but i just said brothers becuase it seemed more logical

[thebroskeez]

@Wil14 Like its funny, cause its true. Like couldnt they have gone through that little extra bit of work to make a different guy? Or maybe its supposed to be that way. Maybe its like a legion of certain dragons, so they all look the same?

[Wil14]

@thebroskeez I know right? Honestly, I feel like they repeated too many monsters (ex: Hydra/black hydra, Stray demon/asylum demon) and also put too many parallels into this game with Demon's Souls. Many a time it feels like they just got lazy.

[TEAmPwnageandhisyoyo]

@Wil14 I am going to peacefully disagree with you. The Hydra and Black Hydras and Asylum, stray, and fire demons are only a smidgen of the total bosses in the game. There are about thirty other bosses (including mini-bosses) in this game. And still 29 bosses in total if you take out POSSIBLE and "for-sure" parallels in DkS.

DkS is quite new and much effort was put into this, maybe you should appreciate the hard work that the developers put into this game.

And yes i am being a troll but come on

[Wil14]

@TEAmPwnageandhisyoyo I wouldnt say you're necessarily trolling. The fact that you started with "peacefully disagree" automatically eliminates any trolling haha and I understand what you're saying. Be sure to know that I still think this game is awesome, but the similarities between bosses like the iron golem and the tower knight or ceaseless discharge and the dragon god or NPC's like Lautrec and Yurt... Some things just seem TOO similar.

All in all, however, I still enjoy DkSouls.

[thebroskeez]

@Wil14 They probably did. It's kind of sad, but ya know it doesnt really matter in the end. Still a sick ass game :) Just a taste of it and I'm hooked.

[Ainomukidashi]

@Wil14 yes... -.-'

[jonnyb2020]

@Wil14 he seems to get even more angry as the game goes on! you can go back to the beginning again and fight him kill him and now he's on fire! give it a rest! ha

[kworthington24]

Who let a Nasghoul play this game

[BlazinBobs1]

I think Flamelurker was harder than this

[shadowkid1993]

this is the same boss as a previous level except this one is red..

unoriginal.

[joshuaANDlauren]

that thing is scary!
