Titanite Demon | Dark Souls Wiki

looks cool but the hitboxes piss me off

Submit

You know, I think I just realized something about these atrocities...they don't have lingering hitbox issues, but rather each of their attacks is counting as a multi-strike for some reason.

Submit

For all the complaints people make about enemies in Dark Souls 2 having bad hitboxes this enemy has the worst hitbox of any enemy in any GAME let alone in any FromSoft game ever. I dodge their attacks and it STILL hits me.

Submit

do these count as chaos demons for the black knight weapons, or is it just that their raw damage overpowers the high physical defenses

Submit

the drippiest demon

Submit

I like how the first one I found was in a nice normal arena with just a little debris around and easy to learn, but every other one after is in some ****ed up hallway closet or a literal glue trap.

Submit

Ok I just solved the one on the bridge in Izalith.

First, take your "Free" hit from behind to aggro and immediately back off.

Then, lock on if you haven't and move backwards, maintaining a distance at about the edge of his jump attack range. If he jump attacks, roll backwards and repeat.

Finally, when he does his lightning wind up, immediately lock off and run around the projectile toward the right side (his empty hand). Once you're right behind his arm, lock on again. He should initiate a normal swing as you run past, but from his other side, it should miss. Then just hit him ONCE, NO GREED!

Then back off again to the starting position just outside his jump range. Rinse and repeat. If any timing feels off or you get caught on a root or something, abort and reset. Just be careful around the thicker roots on the floor and he'll go down eventually.

Submit

Explain me how the jump attack works ? He landed straight on my head and took me like 20% health. Then he landed 2 meters away from me and it was instakill.

Hitbox Demons

Submit

How much HP has the one in Izalith? He must have more HP than all of the bosses. Or are they scaling with soul level? It's weird, I hit him 20+ times with fully upgraded weapon and he wouldn't die. Impossible to beat....

Submit

Got to be resistant to pierce damage or something. Because i only deal 100 damage with my spears.

Submit

Bullshit enemy. One swing has can hit you multiple times.

Submit

Can't believe people can say 'dArK SoUlS 2 hAs ThE wOrSt HiTbOxEs!" when these mfs exist, and countless other enemies in both this game and Dark Souls 3 that have plenty of awful hitboxes.

Submit

Titanite Catch Poles do not drop at 10%, they drop at 2%. pls fix.

Guy actually hit me twice with one attack and instantly killed me. Two for one special.

Submit

Complain all you want, these guys have a badass design.

Submit

This f***er just f***ing one-shots me with his f***ing bulls*** hitboxes!!! I’m going to f***ing k*** myself because of this s***ty game!!!

Submit

It's not that some Titanite Demon are stronger than the others, it's that if you kill one of them then the next one will be stronger and so on. So the best strategy is probably do not kill Titanite Demon in Undead Parish first. This way you can have easier time dealing Titanite Demon in Sen's Fortress and Anor Londo.

Submit

I just had the one in Lost Izalith stop respawning after I killed it a few times. Anyone else ever had that happen?

Submit

what the hell are tinanite demons why dont they appear anymore in other series??? or games

Submit

Worst enemy in the entire game, you can't convince me otherwise.

Submit

Bastard fights really well for a headless cripple.

Submit

Is it a rumor that every time you kill one they become stronger? (i mean the rest of them)

Submit

For melee users having a hard time at the one on the bridge to Lost Izalith (or anywhere else), try using a good long-reaching weapon like the black knight halberd and try fishing for his jumping and lightning attacks at mid range. You can run around his lightning attack and do a 2H running attack, but if he does an attack right after then roll around to the right. Any other direction and you're dead thanks to its ****-tier lingering hitbox. In fact, you're dead if you get hit once on NG even if you're in full Havel and wearing any defensive ring (especially if you don't have any points in Vig lol). For his jumping attack you can easily back roll and get a 2H running attack in. Get naked with the grass crest shield for the best results.

Submit

i hope whichever game dev decided to put this guy and this janky *** hitboxes in the game suffers a random stroke at 1AM on the next lunar new year

Submit

What I used for the Lost Izalith Titanite Demon was; Dragonslayer Greatbow & arrows until I ran out, it was at half hp. Once I ran out I used my Raw Zweihander (+4) and the Eagle Shield along with some Green Blossoms for stamina recovery. This worked fairly easy and I only got hit a few time, but I easily recovered due to having +5 Estus Flasks.

Submit

The issue with these is the jacked up hitboxes. You can dodge through an attack perfectly, but just being too close to the weapon will cause damage. It would actually be pretty fun to fight if it wasn't for this. But when you get hit by just being a little too close to it, takes all the fun out.

Submit

dude actually gets no head with that flat sh1t on his crotch

Submit

if you suck at dodging then just use a shield that has a lot of stability and make sure you have a good amount of stamina too this will make his fight alot easier since you can just poke him here and there and depending on what your weapon's damage is it'll be rather quick

Submit

It's entire body is a hitbox, you take damage just from looking at it. 10/10 enemy design

Submit

I kinda wish the 4 in Senpai's house do respawn, it is a pain in the ass going so far to get just 1 of that guy. So many weapons needed demon titanites, I hate it. Those guys aren't even that big of a deal anyway, they are crippled.

Submit

The first one takes around 15 hits with the drake sword. Does 100ish dmg. Doable.

Submit

Worst ****ing enemy in the game

Submit

The two stronger ones in the side room at Sen’s gate are brutal, but it was very satisfying when I finally beat them. I recommend using the eagle shield if you can wield it without compromising your agility too much.

Submit

worst enemoy, bad design

Submit

**** the idiot who thought the grab attack should insta kill on ng+. How I am supposed to farm the lost izalith one when I get him so low and then “oop” f**k you’re dead

Submit

The plunging attack of this ****er can damage you 4 times! 4 ****ING TIMES!!!!!

Submit

I needed to farm the lost Izalith one for some Demon Titanite (NG+, Dex Build). This things are imposing. But here's what i got:
Strike damage is supposed to be effective vs armoured enemies. This page said that lightning was usefull as well.

- Weapon: Blacksmith Giant Hammer +5 (Hammer + natural Lightning damage). It's light, so it doesn't consume much stamina to attack)
- Shield: Silver Knight Shield +5 (Good defense and poise)
- Ring 1: Cloranthy Ring (To keep your stamina maxed at all time)
- Ring 2: Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring (So i can get into melee range safelly and get a free first hit)
- Chaos Servant Covenant (for the obvious shortcut)

As for strategy, jam yourself into that armpit, broken leg side. If you are in front of his chest you can still be hit sometimes, being behind it will trigger jump attacks more often. Shield always blocking, you can quickly get stamina with the Cloranthy Ring, never let your stamina go too low or your blocks will fail. I was able to block all attacks, even the jumping attacks. Keep light attacking him 1-2 times during his attack breaks, you can sometimes stagger him for another 1-2 hits. NEVER pay attention to his HP, you start getting anxious when you see him low and thats a recipe for geing too greedy with the hits. Takes a bit of time, given that his HP is high and the hammer is not doing HUGE damage, but i can farm this guy safelly now.
Sidenote: get away from him as he dies, he likes to push people off the bridge as revenge.

Submit

I highly reccommend bringing the hardest hitting weapons in your arsenal and simply pummeling them to death. They may have high Poise and Defenses but they are slow, can be staggered and you can block their swings once while two handing. The more AR you can dish out per-hit the less their defenses will absorb.

Do NOT use Lightning against them unless your AR is stupidly high like with the Lightning Spears, these monsters resist Lightning. Stick with Fire and Magic for elements.

If you're using Dex I suggest using Bows and out-ranging them, they walk with a limp to you at a snails pace so bring arrows in bulk and let them loose. I wouldn't try melee Dex on them, most areas you fight them in put you at a severe mobility disadvantage AND they are tanks so you'll have more chances to screw up than the others.

If all else fails go with any +15 Crossbow with Sniping Bolts. They are piss-easy targets to free aim from out of range.

Submit

Drop rates %?

I only recently realised that the sound they make which you can hear from distances like the one in Anor Londo was taken from the Storm King in Demon’s Souls when it flies into view during the opening cutscene and its massive wings split the winds as it flies.

Submit

getting one shot by a jumping attack with a **** that is a literal tank, in a cramped area with barely any room to dodge. basically to sum these ****ers up is: welp that’s dark souls for you

Submit

the walking hitbox

Submit

Dodge the jump attack, die anyway.

Submit

Those hitboxes... I can't believe they made a reference to DS2 in the first game! They really thought of everything in this series

Submit

Btw, you literally NEED to use shields against titanite demons, unless you don't care about ur hp or whatever

Submit

>Blacksmith Andrei

Submit

do some of them respawn?

Submit

Poise killer! I had 161 poise (full havel+wolf ring) and staggered me somehow congratulations.

Submit

Quickest way that I have found is to backstab it repeatedly with the most powerful sword or melee weapon you have depending on your situation. Other way is to use your melee weapon and your ranged weapon whether arrows or magic, especially when these guys are facing you and sneaking is impractical.

Submit

Buff hitbox demon.

Submit

Titanite demon more like dark souls 2 hitboxes in creature form

Submit

I would like to formally submit a request to execute the sadistic **** that decided that two of these ****ers should be placed in that room at the bottom of Sen's Fortress with double the health of the other two in the same area.

Submit

Worst enemy of the serie and it's not even close

Submit

Many pyromancies such as the various fireball pyromancies or Fire Whip are also extremely effective against the Titanite Demon.
Thanks to this farming the respawning one has been a piece of cake!
My build doesnt even use magic but I went and deleted that guy over and over.

Submit

I cant ****ing kill it in ng+ its ****ing impossible

Submit

i died more often for sen fortress titanite demons than any other creature in the game (including kalameet) because of the ****in **** hitbox and the camera

i dont need ´´good gamers`` saying i'm dodging wrong, i just want to delete those creatures from the fortress,i just hate them

Submit

Just came to see if it does thrust slash etc.

These guys are easy. The only thing that could be hard is if you fight them in a closed space (looking at you lost izalith demon) and some of its attacks have to big hit boxes (jump attacks)

Submit

The people who always try to say this game is never unfair and any time you fail it's completely your fault must have missed when this enemy's pole attacks are able to go through 2 ft. thick stone wall to hit the character on other side of wall.

Submit

Didn't have much of a problem with the first one but the ones in Sen's Fortress are ****ed. Any of their swings can clip through walls like the walls aren't even there, and their jumps one-shot me. Genuinely got so frustrated with these three in the Fortress.

Submit

As strong as a mini boss this game is clearly wasnt meant for ng+ and later

Submit

be wary of amazing chest

Submit

If these guys' tails didn't have hitboxes during their attacks they'd be so much more bearable

Submit

Badass and intimidating enemies but their jump attack is incredibly stupid. I recently tried to roll out of the way of it but just after it landed I took 3 ticks of damage while the demon was motionless and died from it. It’s funny but as a 0 poise character if I feel I can’t get out of its immediate range I’m safer just standing still and tanking it because it’ll knock me down leaving me immune after taking just 1 tick of damage. These problems didn’t return in Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 so I guess it’s not too bad

Submit

Most broken enemy in Dark Souls. Plunging attack hitbox is 4x larger than it should be and lingers for very long. Would be fine though if there was a visual shockwave and you'd only get staggered if you got hit by the phantom hitbox.

These guys and Havel is the reason we needed absorption.

Submit

Had trouble with the first one in the undead parish? In the sen fortress, there's 4 of them near each other in water that slows you down.

Submit

Step 1: Greatshield of Arthorias
Step 2: Your weapon of choice (i like dex stuff since i hit faster thus i commit less and i risk less)
Step 3: Power Within buff

Submit

I've mastered pretty much every kind of enemy in this game and each of them has their tricks but also their weaknesses. These abominations, on the other hand, are in my opinion even worse to fight than the disgusting skeleton dogs in the TOG. Heavily armored, unlimited poise, slow but absurd range and when you least expect it they start their damn high jump that hits you 99% of the time and stomps into the ground. Fortunately, I get the critters defeated very quickly in close combat with an Ascended Pyromancy Flame + 5 and Great Combustion, but in normal close combat without the use of magic it is really desperate.

Submit

Using a crossbow is often an overlooked strategy for these guys. If you keep at a distance big enough for them to shoot lighting, side step and shoot, aside from being well out of harm's way you'll also get a nice counter attack bonus damage on every shot.

Submit

Ooh these guys. Nothing much except for the fact i deal 1/941284 of his health with my 15+ Zweihander twohanded strong attack and he oneshots me. Yeah thats it.

Submit

Prepare to get rekt

Submit

These phuckers are always been a pain in my undead ăss for sure. I guess I just have to git gud.

Submit

I heard from fightin cowboy that everytime you kill one of this deamons, the next you are facing will be atronger than the one u killed. Is that true? Or just some are more resistant and others less??

Submit

Charges and shoots lightning and is weak to lightning.... Okay...?

Submit

It's possible for their plunging attack to hit you twice, it happened to me in anor londo and it one shot me at full health.

Submit

One of the truly unfair enemies.

Submit

Sometimes it will try to jump you and even though you dodged that perfectly it'll still one shot your ass.

Submit

So I'm not the only one that hate this guy the most... F*king broken enemy.

Submit

For lost Izalith, Just use the ring of fog, you can get really close and use soul arrows. The titanite demon will turn around, but he can’t see you

Submit

This cocksucker is the single most broken enemy in this game. This whole game doesnt get me mad because everytime i die, i die because of my own stupidity. This cocksucker does _not_ give a***** about the rules. Walls? Nah bro. Gonna dodge? Nah bro, i'll just legbug you straight to my spear. Gonna hug my armpit? Nah bro, got my twinbro just there, hes gonna bro-zap your ass. Gonna try ultra-heavy armor? Does not work bro >:D. Dont even get me started with the one at Anor Londo castle closet. That***** is so badly designed its seriously hilarious.

Submit

So it isn't mentioned but the high tier ones (Anor Londo, Lost Izalith and the 2nd two Sen's Fortress hidden out of sight in the side room) can also stab you with their tail during a right to left horizontal sweep. There lowest damage attack but enough to make a right left or even right sweep fatal as the tail stab will not knock you aside.

Keep away from the two demons standing back to back in Sen's Fortress. The ones under the swinging blades are 1500 HP and are manageble but the other two have 8000 HP. It took my completionist ass 2 and a half hours to kill them with my Zweihander+5 in my SL50 Character. And the room had no loot or access points. Definitely not worth it unless you want to do it anyway. Best Strategy ( for STR Melee ): Equip a shield and back up yourself into the wall because the other will agro you if you get too close. Don't bother with Gold Pine Resin, though it is very helpful, you probably don't have much of it and you will die a lot before you pull this feat off. If you pulled the agro on the second one, get out of the room and wait a few seconds/heal. If you are far enough they will do a leap. Whenever they jump, roll back. If it sits on you, it's guaranteed death. Put your shield up and approach it, stick to the weaponless side of the demon, to your right. Then two hand your weapon and take 2 quick hits, quickly take out your shield and brace for the enemy's leaping attack. He is most vulnerable when he swings so get to the side with no weapon and attack, don't push your luck though, if he leaps on you try to roll behind and not getting trapped under its body or it's %80 chance of imminent death. Also top your health off by getting out of the agro range and healing, having full health is vital. Don't try to parry or dodge the swings, you will lose all your health trying, if you must, dodge towards it and get to the safe "right" zone as soon as possible. Best way to deal with the swings is just blocking and running towards it. When it does the grab animation, you can hit three times with the Zweihander. After you deal with those vermin, do the "Well, what is it?" emote. You earned it.

Submit

I traded with the one next to Andre. I didn’t get anything off him. Kinda salty

Submit

Stay on his left armpit. Thats it

Submit

So i dont think the one in Lost Izalith have 40k hp because i hit it a few time with my BKH and it died (each of my swing does around 350 dmg) and 40k is too much hp for a enemy even if that enemy is a miniboss

Submit

idk what the hell yall are on, the ones in the sewer pit in sens fortress can ***** right off

Submit

For the respawning one in Lost Izalith do you have to reload the entire page?

Submit

in sen's fortress, 2 under swinging blades is 1500 health and another 2 in the room is 8000 health. so don't get cocky too if you're new players.

Submit

in open spaces these guys are a lot of fun. but the anor londo demon can go ***** itself.

Submit

the only use for dt is boss weapons, so if you use a stander weapon ( longsword for me) then killing them is like drinking water in water. useless

Submit

If you get lucky and the Black Knight in the Burg drops his sword, that does great damage to this thing. I took him out in 6-7 swipes?

Submit

In Undead Parish there's a nice trick. When you come from Andre side and turn left you'll have a broken pillar between you and Demon. If you stand correctly it's possible for the Demon to break any lightning on this lying broken pillar, so he won't move and attack despite every lightning will hit the pillar. Press Q, buy lot of bolts (you can divide the fight if more bolts will be needed) and enjoy doing nothing but clicking RMB and watching his lightnings stopping in half a way :D
