[@MentalFox]

I need to play this game again. I do not remember this boss AT ALL. Thanks for including me again! You do a great job on these.

[@ninjahaz0180]

Mental Fox you may have missed him. He's optional

[@hellacash126]

maybe cuz you cheesed him with a longbow you mental casual.

[@Knight_Of_Eleum_Loyce]

you are fucking horrible at this game.

[@mooganify]

It’s probably because this boss is lame.

[@theAgentify]

He isn't lame, just underrated, I personally love fighting the Old Demon King and I love the Smouldering Lake in general, so many cool things there.

[@jonsolomon4106]

I'm really sad none of them realized he doesn't fight back at the end.

[@mr.anonymous3158]

Jon Solomon how are you supposed to finish the boss fight then

[@fakeblue8985]

CHUNGUS’S VICE PRESIDENT you kill him...

[@ekepaliale4936]

Same

[@firelord699]

It's not so much that he doesn't fight back, he's trying his hardest but he's pooped out.

[@youngballar00]

Hes actually fighting to stay alive...Hes the last of the demons. They all died in dark souls one and when he gives up fighting...its him using his last ditch effort to stay alive. Actually a sad story.

[@a.colemanthesemi-goat4636]

It's a sorcerer's dream, but a pyromancers nightmare

[@blasfeliphimmelreich9323]

[@DasHoovie]

nah just use a black pyromancy

[@PunkZombie1300]

I mean a pyromancer is just a sorcerer with faith so

[@rafjohnstone8749]

R.G.S. Lmao

[@lucky_ramen9803]

@R.G.S. I'm gonna use that now *casually steals*

[@nicholaspayne2232]

What some people might not know is when the Demon King is at 10% health one he explodes but after that he doesn't do anything really other than struggle to get up and it is quite sad honestly. R.I.P Demon King😣

[@Outside85]

Unfortunately it's not so adorable as a big wolf guarding it's masters grave. But then again, what we dont know is that we are secretly the bastards of the game.

[@makaramuss]

@@Outside85 I know its too old but: WE ARE WORST PERSON IN ENTIRE GAME! MAN/GOD EATER ALDRICH IS SAINT COMPARED TO US! especially considering we consumed millions of soul

[@xxxhalo4everxxx]

makaramuss no pontiff is still a bigger prick then the player

[@houyeet]

Cliche anti-hero jackass true, pontif was the biggest piece of garbage in the whole game but he’s still one of my favorite characters

[@Cyborg_Lenin]

I bowed to him in order to show my respecc. Before chopping his head off with my sword that is.

[@tychoazrephet3794]

In terms of this fight, nothing tops when the Prepare to Try crew got him down to his "helpless" phase, and he still managed to kill them with his weak ass flail attack.

[@NavsangeetSingh]

That was honestly one of the greatest things I've ever seen xDDDDDDDD;

[@Legoman775]

when the demon king is on very low health right after that explosion, he just flails his hammer at you harmlessly and its really sad. Once you killl him you are killing the last demon, besides the Demon Prince.

[@Cairo40000]

You're ending his suffering, you could really see he is in pain

[@rotaderp88]

And the two other ones that exist

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

Well, there are the Demon Clerics in the Ruins below and they respawn, so there's at least SOME demons. Canonically, though? Yeah.

[@ashutran06]

The last demon who still has fire from lost izalith

[@jackalope_hunter]

@@VGamingJunkieVT There's also a stray demon at farron keep

[@jacobhuotari4965]

People: *walk literally directly inbetween the giant demon's legs, pressing up as close as possible to them* Also people: "wtf why can't I see"

[@MultiRv90]

@Demon Vrag That's a flaw to DS series. To fix it, when you're close to a large creature, the camera should pan out more to let you see both you and the monster you're fighting.

[@MultiRv90]

@Demon Vrag It wont, they could make walls transparent when it pans out if the arena isnt big enough. There are games that do that so you can see the fight better.

[@HerMi.T]

@Benjamin Little but it is not right way to fight against old demon king because he can literally destroy you with fire attack or his club attack.

[@HerMi.T]

@@MultiRv90 but it is not right way to fight against old demon king because he can literally destroy you with fire attack or his club attack.

[@Jerrongamereview]

@@HerMi.T how should you fight him then? If you don't get close you can't hit him

[@911eragon1]

a little disappointed everyone killed him before they actually saw what he did in phase 3, can't blame them for wanting to finish him off quickly though.

[@KingFancy]

Just because we're the main character doesn't mean we're a hero.....

[@Walamonga1313]

We knew that since Demon's Souls. Maiden Astraea, never forgetti...

[@abcrx32j]

Yeah, a lot of the characters in that area died because of the chosen undead and now the unkindle one comes to finnish the job

[@beanieguitarguy4070]

Ooh, so deep and thought provoking.

[@pugpaladin3218]

Priscilla..

[@Xannyphantom905]

yes it does

[@mibeador]

No one showed any mercy to him in his weakened form, and just immediately killed him

[@TheLloydLightning]

FleX_Zeador The moment I realized he can't attack me no more I sit down with him for a toast a while and then killed him with the Black Knight Sword as Gwyn intended it.

[@yaboi841]

MIRA Same

[@TheLloydLightning]

solidus snake Fear brings up the worst in man and even gods are not safe from it. The only thing Gwyn fears more a people entering his boss room with a parry shield.

[@blasfeliphimmelreich9323]

I make a photo with him and drop a sigbraw Sigward easily would become friend of this monster i think

[@insomniacsnorlax7849]

I let him struggle for a while while I prayed in front of him. R.I.P Old Demon King.

[@lippek1280]

'He's gonna be super passive.. trying to controll the arena...' and he got insta killed by the fastest aoe blast in DS3 bosses

[@redoctober3777]

That final flash he does when he gets super low is a true Hail Mary of 'get bent' to people who haven't seen him before and I really feel like he deserves it. Poor old guy.

[@giantturtlecat2959]

2:04 Mental Fox: Ok so he’s hot Old Demon King: Damn straight I am!

[@bunnitomoe3866]

@@waltuh11121 well, for all we know the princes is there because of the weird timeline, so tecnically the old demon king is the last demon that was born from the chaos that remained

[@ToastMr]

pontiff is next (You should add the reaction to the weird lizard on the bridge as well)

[@thatsixeyedguyy5480]

Sulyvahn' beasts they're called. And agreed, make that monstrosity an honorary boss for the reactions.

[@aerodynamichotdog]

they're pontiff beasts so that correction was incorrect to lol

[@volcanicred9078]

i killed the bridge lizard, pretty easy tbh.

[@ToastMr]

@@volcanicred9078 i think I meant for the reaction of it chasing you

[@tarantulamadness6191]

[@Geto.76]

The old demon king should scale with end game and his final explosion should be one of the most damaging attacks

[@umukzusgelos4834]

I always kind of liked this boss although people tend to forget him often...

[@sv8945]

It's kinda easy to miss this area.

[@rhysofsneezingdragon1758]

I usually end up fighting him last, since I have such hatred for the area

[@Pyrozilla]

I love how you can see the corpse of the Centipede Demon from Dark Souls 1 in the background of the arena

[@guidofedeli851]

"I was hoping for advice" >Dark Souls 3

[@TheSlammurai]

That WAS advice.

[@Metalton95]

"He's a Balrog?" Found the guy who didn't play DS1 :D

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

I recently played through DS1 but remind me which boss you meant xD. Is it the Ceaseless Discharge? Or the Demon Firesage?

[@CorruptedMaterial]

Or fought the earlier demon with his eyes closed.

[@hellacash126]

one does not simply draw that conclusion, based on a lord of the rings reference.

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

One does not simply use one does not simply for everything.

[@syricstheconquerer3608]

MetalForTheMasses what do you think a balrog is? That's right a demon

[@theoutspokentheorist9578]

"A Balrog with a large mace" and no Gandalf to save your ass this time, buddy. "I was hoping for advice" this is Dark Souls, casul.

how'd that guy end up with 1 soul lol

[@MegaVic95]

I have ended whit 1 soul too its rare, and you can sell trash toó, it gives 1 soul

[@davy8990]

A lot of people miss it, but this might be the last demon, a survivor of the age of fire. The last part, where he explodes and loses his flame, if you don't kill him, he'll just stay there diying and trying to slap you away as a last fighting stand. The last demon, the old king that lost everything...... Man this game makes me emotional and lonely at times

[@NamelessKing1597]

Okay, this is making me understand how overleveled I was.

[@EisforEntertainment1346]

I feel bad for the demon king. He is the last of his kind that is still living. And his death scene is so sad because he gives one final blow then collapses to the ground dead.

[@brotherhoodofgame]

Partially annoyed nobody stopped and observed his helpless phase when he just gives up in defeat.

[@wallacesousuke1433]

I thought him 4x times and up till now I didnt know of that, I just want to kill him AFAP before he burns me to death lel

[@ahmedalhajeh6615]

I stopped and then he exploded and killed me -_-

[@xenogamerdood4396]

I've never seen anyone have this much trouble with this boss. Funny how people forget how to play a souls game when they're greeted with a new boss.

[@wr5488]

Never seen that much trouble OR as many camera issues as some of those guys had.

[@geld1620]

That Guy s hard. Especially when he spams combustion and fir breath. Or when you get dragged by his hammer or leg. His entire body is basically a camera blocking brick.

[@wr5488]

I think he's too slow and misses too many attacks personally. Up close he cant do anything besides slow fire breath down (which you can roll back to avoid) and the close range fire orb (which misses like 70% of the time). I do like dodging his long range attacks though, sprinting around his fire breath and meteors is fun, and rolling through the rings is cool. imo he's the last and hardest of the easy bosses in the game, from Pontiff and onwards there is a huge difficulty spike.

[@SunnyJJC]

XenoGamer Dood I thought he was much harder than Pontiff or Abyss Watchers since I couldnt read his attacks

[@georgejpg]

First time souls player here and beat him first try with maybe 3 or 4 estus. Pontiff fucked my ass raw.

[@JustRelaaaxASMR]

The amount of bosses in this game that just want to be left alone is insane.

[@stevenpaniagua8463]

I am back :D great video as always :) just wish we would have seen someone reacting to his crippled state at the end. In case no one knows... we he gets to his bottom heath bar he can't fight back and he struggles to stay up.

[@vincentloojijian3000]

We need reaction for Sulyvahn's Beast next.

[@kingjohn8980]

I feel bad for this boss. You kill his creator. You kill his kin. You even kill his son.

[@villelepoaho4105]

3:47 nice vigor you got there

[@JustAJauneArc]

I thought the exact same thing

[@SultanPlayz_]

I somehow died to this boss WAY MORE than I did to the Abyss Watchers.....

[@richarde98]

Just an idea: Maybe film reactions for the mini bosses too for content. Some of these will be much better than for the bosses.

[@AdelizaNera]

Guy: stands right under the boss when he does his under fire attack Also guy: HOW DID THAT HIT ME

[@offbeatj9er]

I defeated this boss on my second try and this is the very first dark souls game ive ever played, i used the sorceror and stayed at far range for him

[@JoeJently]

Kieth actually got killed by the final attack right before the King is completely helpless, damn

[@Nyx-03]

I freaked out when the Chronos guy called him Balrog lol

[@HerrscherofSimp3164]

Someway i feel really bad about the Old Demon king, he is almost the last one of his kind.

[@dakotadoyle7573]

This game has Worms the size of which god has never seen

[@cdg670]

My first run was a sorcerer and beat this boss at first try with almost no effort, so it's quite interesting to me to see how melee players struggle to beat this boss a little bit. Gives me a new perspective of this fight; Nice.

[@ezekielx5]

Yeah sorcerers can beat this boss with practically zero problems. Poor pyromancers (unless you have black pyromancy)

[@heikki8150]

Old Demon King is basically just like Sif except nobody cares

[@contohasmr5876]

I love the reactions to his last explosions. Just "What the fuck"

[@zerochaotics1135]

I'm kinda sad that no one waited a little after the final explosion to find out that when he collapses like that he's no longer able to fight and can't actually hurt you. Oh well

[@twistedgwazi5727]

Most people assume it's a trick or just wanna finish the fight already.

[@noneofyourebusiness]

Old Demon King lost all his determination to fight, hence the "Old" part of his name... ;c

[@LampseekerForevermore]

The player only wins because the old demon king forgot his heart medication

[@spongemanicecone4440]

He has three AOE attack in his first form. This fight is a nightmare for melee users

[@micheler4120]

Keeping Great Swamp Cuculus alive was a real treat ;) Yes, she is armed with a whip, thanks From. Her gear is worth it to me, though. Edit: Thank you so much, these are really entertaining and bring back memories. Hopefully, we'll have some new ones from From, soon.

[@nomames6855]

I literally just ran around the arena with a bow and killed him that way

[@Michael-ci1gp]

I did this guy first try as a mage build, definitely makes the moss easier

[@alexandersong5753]

guy who keeps on calling Old Demon King a "balrog" has been watching too much Lord of the Rings...

[@amusedwave2840]

To anyone who maybe struggling with this boss. Wait until you beat yhorm the giant, you have at least 10 flask an your are bond fire level 5 *then* come back and fight him. It will be a cake walk.

[@aotearoa_goose3261]

That guy at 1:14 accidentally had the sword that he was weakest to in hand XD

[@pakawaka2365]

Tip for some people for this guy.this guy is similar to vordt.by that i mean you must stay in 1 area to not get hit and slice him up.be as close as possible to his belly.slice him and when he uses fire abilities like fireballs and fire floor run away.and repeat and boom you won

Bro I didn’t even know this boss existed I learned about after beating the nameless king and after I went and faught him..........he stood no chance at all

[@halohahaha7483]

This boss make me wounder if we are the bad guys? we are just killing an old king that just want to be with and protect whats left of his destroyed kingdom he tries so hard to fight you and keep you from depreciating his kingdom even more. once he gets down to his last bit of health he explodes in a last ditch effort of trying to stop you. The music slows down, and he falls on his knees trying to hit you with the last bit of power he has. This is when you fell guilty for what you have done he may be a demon but at the end of the day he is a old demon with his fire snuffed out by you not even an ember of his royal flame remain, The only thing that he have left is ashes. The ashes of his flame and the ashes of his kingdom. Nah Who the hell I am kidding we need his souls. he is already a foot in the grave already we're just speeding up the process who cares he is a demon and demons are bad.

tl;dr His swings have massive range, his aoe fire attacks have massive range and nobody thinks to roll into them (because who rolls into fire anyway), and he is a demon.

[@shawnbell18]

Andrew had an advantage because the black knight great sword does more damage to demons

[@hmm2735]

Im imagining this guy getting uncomfortably excited and sniffing out trails unreasonably well on all fours like a dog making almost pained noises of relief as he wags his whole body stark naked and striking a pose when he smells an enemy's lords scent like on all fours but one leg is stuck out straight and he stares intently ahead also hes unnaturally greasy at all times like you thought he smothered himself with grease but it simply doesn't come off its like an oily layer of his skin than lets him slither across the ground like a snake saying "hiss" in a very sultry voice
