What Bed of Chaos Should've Been Like.

[gackie]

Bed of Chaos sucks. Bad. It shames the storyline of the Witch of Izalith, I'm sure many people including me would've preferred a proper fight, but we got a Super Mario level instead. What I would've liked would be a battle-mage giant (about the size of nito) who spams pyromancies at you while being able to fly around the arena. Either that or the first phase of the Bed of Chaos could've killed it revealing an actual boss fight against the Witch of Izalith, who could follow the same design style as the Bed of Chaos (wooden and flaming). I was just super dissapointed at this boss, as I'm sure many were.

IMO, the maggot was ugly, and a terrible representation of the Witch of Izalith.

I don't get people saying the Bed of Chaos is a terrible description of the Witch of Izalith. The Witch, a pretty powerful sorceress and a Lord, use her immense power to try to kindle the First Flame, which looks like something quite powerful.
In short: when she tried to kindle the flame, she used her huge power to try to dominate the impressive flame power.
And she failed.
If anything, fighting a mage would be the real letdown here from a lore perspective. A huge wave of raw and savage powered was unleashed through Izalith, corrupting everything in its path. There's no way the Witch could survive this unscathed.

Of course you could have represented her differently, but the Bed of Chaos is a credible possibility.
As for the fight itself, I like that they tried to do something different than the usual "powerful boss ahead - hit it 'til its dead while taking care of not taking too much hits". Sadly, it was kind of a failure

It's still full of artificial difficulty and awful design.

well the battle itself is quite terrible, but from a lore pov the Bed of Chaos makes sense.
Of course what you enjoy more in a boss battle is usually the battle itself, not the lore, which is why it's quite a terrible boss in the end

You dont get it....Too much artificial difficulty and Ds2. You broke my heart.

It's essentially the Dragon God fight from Demon's Souls. People lived with it then so, maybe, they figured people would live with it here.

[(Edgy) Asriel Dreemurr]

It could have been like the Old Demon King in DS3, but stationary at first.

A boss that starts out as this large imposing and imovable beast that can make fire waves and meteors.

Then as you get it to half health, part of it breaks and becomes similar to the stray/firesage demon fights, but it struggles slightly to hold itself up.

Then once you defeat the boss, the creature breaks apart revealing what remains of the Witch of Izalith. She crawls seemingly in pain and dies in one strike.

I agree. I liked how it was different than any other boss but it still sucked as a witch of izalith fight, you re fighting a lord soul afterall, it should be somewhat intimidating and powerful, not this garbage

[very nice man]

The devs ran out of time, that's why it's like this.

I think both is true - and this is soooooo in the spirit of this game which actually doesn't really need any more "real" boss fights imho. But a boss"fight" late in the storyline which teaches you some humiltity once again when you propably feel great and confident about combat skill, also almost nullifying your lvl-grind-benefit.
But then...maybe I've developed into a brainwashed fanboy

Check DkS cut content.They wanted to make the Bed of Chaos a walking and moving boss but ran out of time.The model and animation is still present in the game files
