8 Video Game Decisions NOBODY Made Their First Time

4. Defeating The Asylum Demon - Dark Souls

In a community that refuses to show any form of weakness, the mere existence of the Asylum Demon is something of pure comedy to me, as if you're to look at and Dark Souls forum, you'd be convinced that every player under Solaire took down this beast first time, with just their fists, blindfolded and while also solving the world energy crisis.

Yet we all know the truth, that every single player who went toe to toe with this gargantuan gatekeeper got stepped on so hard the Resident Evil Village community reached a climax, and were subsequently stuffed inside the Demons fat folds. Whereas some players who have watched others perform runs of the game, or checked out walkthroughs online might know to head to the door within the arena, there's no doubt in my mind that the hardcoded gamer mentality of "I can take that" saw countless deaths at the Asylum Demons hands.

It was likely only after being turned to man paste that the penny dropped like the Asylum Demons fat arse, and it was clear that in order to beat some enemies you'd have to use your head for more than just headbutting walls.
