Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition - Asylum Demon
The large demon found during the tutorial in the Northern Undead Asylum. This boss is very similar to the Vanguard in Demon's Souls in both attack style and appearance in the story. After escaping from your cell and lighting the first bonfire, the next step is to open a large set of doors leading to another courtyard, surrounded by large vases. If you stand in the doorway and look up, you will see the Asylum Demon waiting above the area at the far end. As you enter the room, he leaps down. You may either fight him then or escape via a gate that closes on crossing it, on the left side of the area. If you choose to evade, you will still have to face him a little later, but with the benefit of having more equipment. During the second encounter, you will find yourself on a platform above him, giving you the opportunity to perform a powerful plunging attack to radically reduce his health and even the odds. Killing the asylum demon during the first encounter(not escaping through the door) will grant you the Demon's great hammer as discussed below, while killing him during the second encounter will not.
