Can we just delete Lost Izalith from the game please? or more specific the bed of chaos fight?

[King Zarus]

No matter how much I play this game i just absolutely dread having to go to Lost Izalith (so much so that i even did the kiln skip speedrunners use to bypass the lord souls). Now the location in the world of Dark Souls is pretty cool and all but it is just so terribly implemented. I guess the only real mercy is that it is a fairly short area.

But for real ♥♥♥♥ Bed of Chaos.

I've tried all kinds of things but I've never been able to make Bed of Chaos fun to fight. Once you know the tricks it's not hard per se, but it's never fun.

If you haven't, look up the speedrun tactic with firebombs for bed of chaos. lets you knock it out in 14 seconds or so without actually having to do it.

Bed of Chaos gets a bad rep for being a puzzle boss that punishes players for the thing most seem to hate in this game: gravity and pits.

If you are careful about timing, and running, and dodging and yes, even using a shield, it's possible to beat it legitimately without dying.

Then again it seems like most players hate everything about gravity and pits in this game, so I guess I"m not surprised.

It's the only boss out of all three games that gives you checkpoints between deaths. That's how broken and unfun it really is.

The are was half finished unfortunately cause of time restraints and it shows. Still, aesthetically and lorewise it is one of my favorite areas.

If you can get past the bed of chaos' arm attacks for the first phase, she actually leaves you completely alone while you're standing in front of her, only the fire form still attacks when you're close. You can get a good view of her and wow she is really cool and freaky. Like a giant humanoid tree with a spider for a face.

Admittedly yeah, a lot more could have been done, but I still love Lost Izalith overall, I love the aesthetic of chaos trees overrunning the lava ruins. The creepy pit with the chaos eaters is great too.

It's one of the worst parts of the game - perhaps the worst - but good thing it's short. Just run like the wind without giving a ♥♥♥♥ about anything else and you'll be facing that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss, again, in no time.

[Наёмник]

It is easy to pass, destroy it on the right, go to the menu. Then destroy the left, go to the menu. And then you will finally jump in the middle, where you will already finish it. Initially, the boss should be more interesting, so you can skip it

Not to mention the shortcut that lets you completely skip two other bosses.

In an interview Miyazaki apologized for this boss who was never completely finished due to production times

You think they would have worked on these things for the remaster.

[Melth]

There are a lot of plainly unfinished things in the game. Some people will say that a remaster should only work on things like updating graphics and sound, but the remaster DID address various game balance and item placement details. They really could have and should have done some work on unfinished areas if you ask me. Still, it's a great game, even if the remaster was lazy.

[CtenosaurOaxacana]

It's okay Bed of Chaos, I still love your aesthetics and arena.
