  • The upgrade systems for the Souls games have always been somewhat convoluted, with even the upgrade materials themselves being a bit awkward to collect sometimes. Titanite Demons were added to help provide some materials, but one in particular may be helping more than they were meant to.

    Thanks to King Bore for pointing this out, go check his Twitter for more Izalith facts: twitter.com/king_bore_haha
    Technically speaking, the Demon's Souls Crystal Lizards do respawn, but not endlessly, which is a bit of oddity that probably comes from being the earlier iteration of the concept.

      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

      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.

      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.

    I wonder if that Titanite Demon originally used to be further up the bridge or something, up where the map is technically part of an adjacent zone, and was relocated to the bridge into Izalith very late in development.
    So his ID# starting with 13 instead of 14 still reflects the zone he was supposed to be in before.

    If it were an intentional typo I think the reference number would be either 0 or something that is obviously invalid, but the fact that it has what looks to be a real reference that did exist makes me think that the script for that titanite demon was written before Izaleth was made. I think the demon was already there and was moved into Izaleth later on, had its map reference number changed but the non respawning code was overlooked. The titanite demon was most likely part of a previous map that was there before Izaleth.

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.
