The Bed of Chaos | How to kill a boss Dark Souls Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Description

It is a gigantic tree, whose attacks will amaze every hero. In this fight, luckily, you do not have to fight with the enemy by "exchanging" blows - instead you have to find his "weak point".

Tips

1) Do not count on it that you'll survive - it is possible but unlikely. This boss has powerful attacks. But in fact the death is not a problem here, because...

2) Do not be afraid of death - it is one of few battles, where your death doesn't cancel the entire course of the fight. The battle is divided in three parts - first you have to destroy side covers of the demon. If you do this, the situation remains unchanged even after your death.

Tactics

In this fight you have to act according to a schedule. Surviving in the first try is unlikely, so read the second part of above tips. If you won't manage to complete a part of the fight, state of it will be saved even after your death, which means that you won't have to repeat everything again.

At the beginning of the fight, slide down the slope. Super! [1] At the bottom you'll see a boss and two shiny circles on his sides. You have to get inside both of them. Run along the left wall. [2]

Run towards the sphere - if you're lucky. Jump inside. [1] Break through branches - you have to get to the shiny branch and destroy it. After destroying each of them, the boss will grow a new limb. [2]

Repeat these actions on the other side... But the problem is that the opponent starts to destroy fragments of the floor and speeds up his attacks. Try to get to the other side. But most likely you'll see this screen:

This fight can be divided in 3 parts. Destroyed part of the cover won't be restored after your death. Return to the arena and deal with the second side.

After returning to the arena, run along the wall to the opposite direction. Demon will be destroying a floor under his feet, so move carefully. [1] From time to time you'll have to jump over a gap - use Circle/B to gain some speed and jump by pressing the same button. [2]

Jump over gaps [1] and go to the second sphere. [2]

After destroying the root, look at the situation - you have to go to the center and approach the tree. If you stand at his side, the demon will attack you with his limbs - these attacks can be blocked with a shield. A more dangerous is a fire area attack - you have to heal after it.

Bypass the roots and get to the center. [1] When you get closer, the floor under the demon will fall in. [2]

You have to jump down to the branch leading inside the boss. Once you get there, you'll be not attacked by his limbs, but fire can still hurt you.

Run over the root towards an entrance to the boss.

Break through the branches and go deeper.

Finally you'll get to the red "heart" of the boss. Kill it quickly.

After killing the boss, light on the bonfire. Thanks to that you'll get out of this place.
