Demon | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

I tried the Mimic strat. It died in one hit. ONE HIT.

Submit

the fact that you can count every demon you encounter in this game on two hands really goes to show how badly damaged their race is

Submit

coolest design in the game.

This boss AI is bugged. I moved from the stair to the bonfire. It looks like the demon then fought some skeletons. When I went back to the demon he was facing the wall and a remaining skeleton would not attack him. I went to the mimic, hit him and went to the stair. When I returned I saw the mimic attacking the back of the demon who did nothing until he died. When the mimic went back to sleep I hit him and moved to the smoldering lake. The mimic pursued me and disappeared, maybe hit by the ballista. I could not find him anywhere, then I reloaded the area at the bonfire and found the black blade at the original position of the mimic. This was on my 3rd playthrough.

I accidentally attacked sig an he wont talk to me at all am i ****ed?

Submit

Destroy all urns in the room where you touch the goblet and he won't summon any skeleton in the fight.

Submit

This guy has Dark Souls 2 tier hitboxes.

Submit

I sense copy paste

Submit

i want him as a mount to ride into battle on

Submit

Why is rapport not in the strategies? Easiest way to kill them.

Submit

Do Fiery Demons respawn? I'm a new player and I just defeated the one at the Undead Settlement with ONION MAN (TM), but I went back to a checkpoint while exploring a house when I saw two Evangelists in the same room. Does that dude respawn? And if so, can I get him to drop his soul?

Submit

Should I feel bad about killing a member of an endangered species?

Submit

I got one of these low and a skeleton finished it off

Submit

When get the demon in catacombs to fight the mimic it is really funny to see and sometimes the mimic will fuk the demon up.

Submit

Love these guy's visual designs. Probably my favorite looking demon from Dark Souls, but I'd have to give my number one overall to Doom Eternal's Hell Knights

Submit

Why does the demon's face look kinda cute

Submit

Visions of Rapport.

Submit

Last time I fought the demon in catacombs he has little hp left but charging his big AOE fire, then the skeletons killed him :D

Submit

What will happen to Siegward if I one shot that fire demon in undead settlement? I try it by using Millwood bow with red tear morion dragon form + hawk ring, and aim to headshot snipe it down before it trigger Siegward dialogue, but I failed, it remained last hit

Submit

It says that you only get "Soul of a Demon" from the one in catacombs. But I can confirm this is incorrect. I have only reached road of sacrifices but I have this soul in my inventory and can transpose it. I think I probably got it from the drop at undead settlement.

Submit

Demon in catacombs can be cheesed using a bow this may take longer but there is a slight chance the demon will glitch into the ceiling and if you walk to the bridge you will see the demon's head use an arrow against the head and it will fall into the abyss.

Submit

you dont even need to lure the mimic yourself in catacombs. the demon seems to use the fire breath attack 100% of the time as long as you haven't used the stairs yet and with some messing around and hitbox janking, you can get a fire breath to hit the mimic and it'll be auto agro'd to the demon. just be careful not to let the fire breath hit the mimic too many times are it'll die before getting to the demon

Submit

What about the demon at Farron Keep?

Submit

Idk if this is a bug but when the demon chased me all the way to the mimic chest(hasn't transformed yet) it would step back in fear and wouldn't attack at all. Instead it would repeatedly chase and move back.

Submit

Finally got the mimic to follow me down the stairs without getting flamethrowered at the same time, and this mother*****er jump kicks me *through* the demon, and then the demon one-shots us both LOL

Submit

Does it look like a reimagined Taurus Demon to anyone else? Considering how the Stray Demon miniboss looks different from DS1 as well. Of course the demon ruins depict the original versions of both.

Submit

Fun fact: the skeleton at the feet of the one in the Catacombs, under the boss arena before the Smouldering Lake, will attack the Demon. I don't know if the Demon hit him or what, but I went down the stairs a little too far while cheesing the mini-boss (letting him come up the stairs, hitting him as he slowly walks backwards down it, then hiding to the right when he spits fire and repeating) and for some reason the skeleton stopped attacking me and finished off the last few hits on the Demon for me.

Submit

How is this thing immune to frost? That doesn't make any sense

Submit

The one at the Undead Settlement has the best hitboxes in the world /s

Submit

Immune to frostbite is a lie... i tuned him off every time i hit with irythil sword (he become whiter). Then he uses somekind aoe blast to turn his fire back on. Absolute abuse strategy to just turn him of with that sword, place a few hits, run away from blast and come again.

Submit

Just going through NG++, and tried to bait the Mimic to help out for the Fire Demon on the way to the Smoldering Lake. That Mimic single handedly destroyed the Demon. They got locked into some sort of animation loop where the Mimic kept getting it's large golf-swing kick attack in, staggered the Demon, and the Mimic went straight for the kick again while the Demon tried to wind up for an attack before getting staggered out of it again. Yep, that Mimic stagger locked and killed the Demon for me, all by itself. Best Mimic ever.

Submit

Just use rapport to kill them, ultimate strategy.

Submit

"Get between its legs" that DOES sound pretty hot to be honest 10/10 would take thrust dmg from demon

Submit

Submit

Magic and lightning also do respectable damage against these enemies. Also, you can lure the Knight Slayer Tsorig invader to the demons area and use a Seed of a Giant Tree to make them both fight.

Submit

can i play

Submit

a bit of a paradox that "chaos" is based on faith and intelligence but the "chaos-creatures" have always a huge chunk of str within their builds if I look at their weapons (Hammer, axe, Demon fists).

Submit

I got him to destroy the bonfires around him by dodging his attacks when near one. But Seigward died. It could be part of the key to making him less “overheated”. Maybe this in combination with some sneaking and Rapport can make him friendly without Siegward dying. Maybe show up befor Seigward?

Submit

Love leading em into the skeletons and letting them butt***** em. Mimic vs the demon seems to be weird though. Both the mimic and demon seem to be able to just about one hit each other. Mimic with that spin kick, while the demon and the flame breath. Least from the times I was able to get them to fight.

Submit

Bludgeon is spelled wrong in the first strategy.

Submit

Discovered a potential glitch when fighting in the Catacombs. I ran over to the mimic to try to get him to use the fire trick, but he decided to run up the stairs to try and melee me instead. I think he's too tall for the walkway so he got stuck about halfway. I attacked him from range and occasionally he would become aggressive and charge at me, but if i took a step forward he would be pushed back to the same spot where he started glitching. Just rinse and repeat until he died. Any one else encounter/can replicate this?

Clever loer video called "Bastard's Curse" describes this demon as a weapon sent to purify the undead settlement out of hollows. It seems to be doing a pretty good job.

Submit

You can use the Rapport pyromancy against this Demon (the magic which charms the enemy and making them a temporary ally), at least fir the one of the Catacombs of Carthus. Don't know if it works for the one of the Undead Settlement, but it should !
First time I used the Rapport pyromancy against this dude on ng +, I was so surprised it worked !
For me, it's the easiest way to kill him.
My English is very bad, hope everything I wrote makes sense.

Submit

All the demons are really weak to dark spells/pyros

Submit

When I used Great Magic Weapon( 123 spellbuff from Sorcerer Staff +3) + Bandit Dagger( +4), I killed the fire demon in about 30 seconds, lmao. Possible weakness to magic or dagger spam stronk?

Submit

Found a glitch where pulling the Demon to the entry door (Catacombs) and triggering his jump attack will occasionally send him into a rampant ragdoll seizure plummetting through the map after he has been taken down halfway.

This is an instant kill and did net me the would after about 40 seconds. Kill zone must be far down haha

Submit

Is it affected by dark damage?

Submit

So I used the spook spell to sneak my way to the other building, it succeeded and hasn't set the demon and siegward dialogue, I have a funny feeling it could be one of the only things left that hasn't been discovered? Also mayhaps putting the fires out without being seen could potentiall help he situation? Gods luck dark souls peps :) :)

Submit

Undead Settlement, get the irithyl sword from the outrider at the bottom of the elevator. i think it makes good damage even not upgraded. I stand on the wall and attack him from there, while siegward was tanking him.

Submit

Or, run right past him and down the stairs at the at the end of the room. From the BOTTOM of the stairwell he can't hit you and there's a bonfire right around the corner. Easiest cheese in the whole game.

Submit

In the catacombs, if the mimic doesnt kill him, run around the lower area and spawn all the skeletons. They'll take care of the demon for you ez.

Submit

I could try talking some sense into him,
no he’s far too overheated... I’ve got to use my head.

Submit

The demon in the catacombs doesn't drop any souls. It only gives you the Soul of a Demon instead.

Submit

is this monster parryable? Seems like a silly question.. but don't have an answer because i suck at parrying

Submit

If you dodge when he charges at you, you can get him to fall down to where all the reanimating skeletons are and let them go to town.

Submit

Hes just big, does hit hard not much health, let sieg get aggro and stay at his tail

Submit

if you can lure the demon to the doorway before you met him (which is very easy), you can hide behind the door and he cannot pass, allowing you to kill him completely safely with any kind of magic (although pyromancy will take significantly longer for obvious reasons). he also runs back to the doorway every time he is hit, meaning there is no need to keep putting yourself in harms way to lure him back.

Submit

Wow, what a *****ty mimic. Mine died before landing a single hit on the Demon.

Submit

Does the demon on the settlement drop its soul? I don't remember receiving nothing but on soul transposition I can se the items it makes (hammer and knucles) without ever acquiring it.

Submit

I managed to get all of the skeletons to kill the demon for me by agroing them and then running past the demon and up the stairs. It may take a couple of runs for the skeletons to win, but if they don't, they will take his health down a good chunk, making him easier.

Submit

I'm sure other people have done this, but I actually accidentally came across this strategy. In the Undead Settlement, I had talked to Seigward, went half way up the elevator and jumped off onto the wooden platform. Then I saw Seigward was there now, sitting on the edge talking to me. I egsausted his dialogue and tried to climb down. When I got to the bottom, I suddenly noticed the demon and hid in a corner to think about my strategy. Suddenly, I heard Seigward say something like "No no, we should have waited! Oh well, I'll fight along side thee". Then I realized he came down to help fight the demon who was now coming after me and I tried to help him, that is until I realized Seigward didn't seem to have a health bar. After that I basically just sat in the corner and let Seigward beat the hell out of him. GG demon.

Submit

These (like their old king) are weak to dark magic, ng+3 black fire orb did 497 per orb, whereas chaos bed vestiges were under 200.

Submit

when i encountered the carthus catacombs demon, i decided to lure it back up the stairway and close to the archway, i switched into the greatlance. after agressively baiting him to the point where one of his moves causes him to go forward too far, he will get stuck in the archway and slowly rise into the ceiling. when you run back inside, one of his feet can clearly be seen protruding through the ceiling near the archway. after enough damage was done with bow and arrows, he suddenly becomes agressive again and will try to reach you with his attacks. when you leave the archway again and head outside, his violent swings will cause him to rise further and ultimately clip through a part of the ground above sending him straight down into the abyss; causing his death.

Submit

In the catacombs of carthus fight, you can get the demon to use its fire attack on the mimic, which will result in the mimic becoming hostile and attacking the demon.

Submit

The demon can trigger the mimic itself with its flame breath. Bait the attack over to where the mimic is at, and you can safely stay up top while the mimic rushes down to engage the demon. Mopping up the survivor is easy after that.

Submit

I don't think Siegward can die in the Undead Settlement. He can actually kill the Demon alone.

Submit

You can snipe him with arrows from the roof just below Siegward , no need to run across an open area and risk being hit.

Submit

how the ***** do you make the elevator go UP???

Submit

You can provoke him to attack mimic.

Submit

After beating the demon I did not recieve the soul. Glitch? Or aren't these guaranteed?

Submit

I can't tell if I got it and consumed it or if I never got it. I did consume a lot of my consumable souls once I got back to Firelink, but I didn't consume anything that was Golden like the other boss souls. There is an option to make the Demon Axe, but I don't have the soul. Is it possible for someone to drop it or the Soul for me?

Submit

Beat the fire demon super easy. DO NOT DROP OFF THE ROOF. If you stand close enough to the edge, the fire demon will show interest in you and the lovable onion man will jump down and initiate the fight. Then you can slash the demon in the face when he's close to the platform and retreat to safety when necessary. He can still hit you up there but he never jumped up. Easy 5000 souls (and quick). Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Submit

Is there any way to get back up there if I died during the fight? Hopefully Siegward isn't dead.

Submit

Frostbite seems rather effective against these guys, perhaps to no one's surprise. I used an unbuffed Irithyll Straight Sword against Siegward's Demon, and the demon did almost nothing the entire fight.
