The Lost Potential of Lost Izalith

What a nightmare... Have a great day! Edit: I made a typo at the end. It should say "loud music" not "load music." I am sorry.

I also really loved Vamos' voice. Hes made of bones - he really shouldn't have a voice. The weird sound of it really helps with the implication that hes something unnatural

I think you can summon Solaire for the Gwyn fight if you save him, perhaps implying that he was able to move on and continue looking for his sun

I love the little “city” pre bed of chaos part, the whole place SCREAMS unused potential, the whole vibe is cool as shit

Glad to see someone appreciating the Centipede Demon’s design for once. Mechanically the fight is absolutely horrible, but I think its design at least is a good representation of Chaos far more than Bed of Chaos is.

The corpse on Ceaseless Discharge's arena is not supposed to be Quelana, it's Izalith's seventh and last daughter. All seven can be found in the game: -Quelaag and the Fair Lady -Quelana -The one that attacks you before Bed of Chaos -The two that became part of the Bed of Chaos -The corpse on Ceaseless' arena

This area is why I think dark souls 1 is one of the few popular games that deserves a remake.

6:16 "Why is he not invulnerable to flames?!" Says the character who drinks fire to heal but still gets hurt by fire

I remember someone making a joke about izalith being rushed while i had no clue about DS1, during this joke they showed all the dragon butts and i unironically thought it was an edit, like they modded the game to put them everywhere but no... its just like that

Bro there is a third ending for Siegmeyer. If you kill the chaos eaters before you talk to him he'll give up on adventuring and just disappear, arguably the "happy" ending, but unsatisfying because it's only implied.

the worst part is, that nobody really appreciates the meaning behind solaires end, due to the area not really telling a story... he is looking for his own sun, something the witch of izalith also did and tried her best to do, but failed... lordran does not actually know what went down in izalith. but solaire venturing to the place where they were closest to recreating the "sun" makes so much sense, even him succumbing to a bug is so very reminiscent of izaliths downfall

that fucking wall in centipede demon's room has plagued me almost as much as that one dead end in sens fortress past the balder knight

I didn’t hate Lost Izalith. In hindsight the criticisms everyone makes are valid but they didn’t bother me so much playing through it. For me the lore and just how cool the idea of this lost ancient city deep underground made it fun enough to enjoy exploring it.

At the very least, Solaire becomes summonable at the Kiln. Despite everything, he makes it to the end. And in the words of Vaati "the light within Solaire will burn the brightest of us all".

4:58 I heard that invasion sound while I wasn’t looking at the screen and I actually tensed up lol

And how in the hell does siegmeyer get around so well? How did he get to Anor Londo?? Through the lava, down the tree, through blight town without a key?? Amazing

Lost Izalith had the potential to be the coolest area in terms of lore, when you arrive in the game, and historically

I don’t think I’ve ever beat the centipede demon on my own. It always clips out of the arena and just dies. No wonder Solaire gets depressed.

Maybe they will make this place actually fun to play in the rema- Oh.

i feel like the ancient city DLC from DS2 is what Lost Izalith was supposed to be. You can see for miles when you enter and you will eventually explore all of it, and at the very bottom is a pool of water filled with deformed creatures. Imagine if you had to work your way down to the bottom of Izalith only to find the lava filled with these creatures that confuse and frustrate you. Instead, you just kinda get their after 2 terrible boss fights and then you have to use it as your last spawn point before the bed of Chaos, making it less of a forsaken depths of despair and more of a "run through this area as fast as possible"
