The Strange Place "On febuary 11th 2021 a ominious place in darksouls 1 was discovered by a youtuber by the name of [King bore haha], he started by using a spell called fall control to negate all fall damage, after that he proceeded to jump down a hole where nothing paticularly interesting was found, but then he jumped down another hole which led to a big fall before landing in a massive room. The room had only one interest, and that was the flame in the horizon, [King bore haha] immediately made his way to it and when he arrived strange creatures came out of nowhere, attacking him, and killing him. Legends say the room still exists to this day and can be visited with the fall control spell, but no one knows what those creatures are." Something like that?
The layout of dragon butts in Lost Izalith is randomized based on individual console metrics. Few people have ever noticed because no one has ever been interested in looking at or fighting those things. Vagrants and miracle synergies aren't actually in all copies - some instead have ghost titanite gifts or resonant s. It's random whether the phalanx or the crow demons in Painted World give a bonus drop item in the real world when defeated. (Talking to Snuggly causes the most obscure crow demon to despawn permanently, locking the latter players out of that bonus.) In the rarest cases, some copies have Painted World's skybox instead of Undead Asylum's, or have a t-posed Andre briefly appear in Firelink Shrine and/or the Kiln, which itself was once reported to have no final boss or way to go back at all. (I'm not interested in duping anyone, so none of that is actually the case in Dark Souls, to my knowledge. But there have been stranger and more obscure things in From's games, haven't there?)
I think I read somewhere in an article about mimics, that the developers didn't include fake bonfires, because it would have destroyed the magic of seeing bonfires as the saving grace and as a point of pure security in a harsh world. In retrospect I often saw a bonfire from afar and tried to reach it ASAP, so they activate a strong desire in players to rush towards them. If I would always have to guess, whether it is a fake bonfire, the feeling would be way different. Mimics are a different situation, because chests don't give you security and are often at dangerous places with lots of enemies :)
The mod "Daughters of Ash" does add in bonfire mimics. Which ruins the surprise a little. I wouldn't recommend it actually because it scrambles the game around and makes Pinwheel a seemingly mandatory first boss as well as by far the most difficult in any Souls game. He has an insane health pool that takes 30 minutes of attacking to hurt him while he can one hit the player with his fireballs. I'm not sure the game is finished as I gave up after killing Pinwheel and finding the path to Nito blocked by rocks. I didn't feel like climbing back out of the undead pit and gave up.
Also, once you know about mimics, it's pretty easy to check for them by either hitting each chest you find once to test for a mimic, or by looking at the chains once you figure that out.
I didn't know this was a mod at first so after he dropped I was like, "This isn't vanilla is it? Is this a backrooms joke? What is the joke going to be? This better not be a backrooms joke". Nah just a mod, but the enemy looking like a bonfire was cool I wish they did that just once in the base game exactly how the mod did it, just a monster with flame.
@@adelard6916 they DaS2 enemies in Brightstone Cove Tseldora was specifically modeled after these enemies actually, they just changed the color palette and added a few details.
It was. It seems to be a copy of the room with the chaos eaters flipped onto its side, but the bramble and the pools of poison are missing. Notice the square-shaped holes in the walls as he drops down the second ledge. The shaft after the first ledge is from the path leading to the red titanite slab.
@@JacOfAllTrades. There is also a strange something on the wall at 0:33. Most likely, it is that model of secret unused entrance to Kiln's antechamber. The one that Andre was supposed to open for you. Which makes sense. Kiln's entrance is clearly inside the Lost Izalith, given its architecture. Using assets from there is not different from using assets from LI.
That enemy is genius the way it actually appears like a bonfire from the distance only to ambush you --- wow ... I'm really surprised they didn't add this enemy into the game. it's ingenious. Insidious. I suppose it could have been seen as maybe a bit cruel but no crueler than a mimic and it isn't really a fake bonfire because it reveals itself as you get closer it's not like they tricked you. You just wanted it to be a bonfire so badly that you may have not have noticed. It's... it's really smart.
iirc there was a point in development they had a concept drawn up for an actual bonfire mimic. Thankfully, that did not make it into the final version.
Man, the concept of a bonfire in a really poorly lit area, only for it to be a fire wielding enemy is something that boggles my mind, definetively should have been in the main game.

Classy modding, right here. Very high quality. Also, real shame they didn't leave those enemies in the game. The "bait" you fall into seems like quintessential Dark Souls to me.
Imagine how drastically a fleshed out and VERTICAL Lost Izalith would’ve improved the game. Not that I think the game needs to be changed, but it’s true that in an ideal world it would’ve been something even more special.
I like to think this is official to the lore since it doesn't contradict it in any way, like underneath Lost Izalith is an intricate network of tunnels initially built as an exhaust shaft for the Artificial First Flame the Witch was trying to create and now it is invested with nightmarish fiery spider-zombie things.

@@kingborehaha wait, if you've made it, how did you managed to make the enemies pathfind? I thought custom pathfinding was not yet possible. Is it possible to do now?
@@moscrow3247 No, what you are saying is just giving them another enemy behaviour but that not how pathfinding works. For an enemy to chase the player for example, they must have a pathfinding mesh which is a like "grid" thats present in all levels and its used to calculate the shortest path to the player and how to reach him. For many years, modders have been able to create custom maps for dark souls but, the biggest problem is that they dont know how to apply custom pathfinding grids to those custom maps. So the enemies cannot function properly, they cannot chase the player. Thats why all big mods for dark souls, like daughters of ash, are just remixing the main world with diferent quests, enemy placements, new weapons, etc...

@@Victor_StudentOfFloppa I actually saw it lvl up elemental resistance and poise and thought "that'll be cool to have" Then I learned of it's true purpose: speed animations up
I’m speaking for many of us when I say this fixed a great frustration. If they didn’t want us to fall to our death then why did they make the conveniently placed Super Mario hole so appealing?
Imagine if the remastered actually remastered the area like lost izaliath it would’ve been interesting to see the original concept sadly only Miyazaki will only know
How is this made? Did you create a new area? Retextured some place? Or is it a unfinished asset toggled on? I heard that it was very hard to do map changes in Dark Souls.
Since some people actually thought this was real, I suppose I should point out that: 0:07 The developers never use a fog gate like this, you never enter fog gates via falling on them, and this looks very crude. It should be obvious this was modded in. 0:08 You can see the void through this large hole in the wall. If this was a real secret area, the developers would never have let such a glaring hole in the world in the player's sight. Even Lost Izalith isn't that shoddy. There are other evidence off course, including the fact that this game has been data-mined to death and something like this would never have escaped notice, I'm just pointing out two fairly egregious things right in the beginning.
....You do realize that the entire area is rotated 90 degrees, right? So, if the fog gate had been rotated along with it, it would've been a totally reasonable spot for a fog gate, whether its placing was planned to be permanent or not. That "hole in the wall" would actually be a hole in the ceiling, which would let the player see the skybox/something else out of bounds if they were to look. It's not like the areas was finished, hence the lack of detailing, enemies, etc. - it looks like it was just a work-in-progress area, potentially for testing purposes.
@@RetrOchannel But I am talking about the rotated area as show in the video. I am making no commentary in the area as it actually exists in the game. As in, I'm aware of the fact that that hole does not face a void in the original area. I am saying the rotated copy, which places the hole in a position that exposes the void, makes it obvious that this is a mod.
@@ManoredRed "But I am talking about the rotated area as show in the video." ...I know that? Hence why I prefaced my comment stating that it was rotated. What did I say that communicated I was talking about some other area? "I am making no commentary in the area as it actually exists in the game." You are though, because you're saying "here are clues that tip you off that it is obvious this was modded in." Yes, your perspective of the area is limited to whatever was shown in the video, but the clues you highlight are shown in the video and, considering you thought they were concrete enough to remark on follows that I must also be able to remark on them, right? Just because the area is exposed to the void via a rotated ceiling piece does not mean that it *must be* a mod. There are several cases of games in which they have left-over content from other stages of the game development, from prototyping, from playtesting, or fairly or even entirely finished content that was decided to be cut. Have you seen the "Northern Limit" cut area from Demon's Souls? In considering, hypothetically, that this were "real", the creator could have simply rotated the entire area because there weren't any room tiles that supported a tall vertical drop, and was using rotated pieces temporarily before the art team could make some just so they could playtest it. Or maybe they were working on the area and wasn't very confident in how it was going so they rotated the entire area as a joke. Or maybe they were considering testing around with a vertical fog gate. You're treating the area as if this *must be* the final version, and you fail to realize that things may just be temporary.
@@RetrOchannel Well, you commented that the fog gate's placement was justified by the fact that this is a rotated copy from another area, where a fog gate there could be justified except it would have been horizontal. This didn't make sense to me because whosever rotated this could have easily removed the resulting vertical fog gate, so it could only be an intentional inclusion. Anyways, it seems your protest is based on the idea of that this could have been cut content/a testing area and that would explain the unfinished-ness and the use of rotated room copies. If it were a testing area, there would be little reason to place it there. If it were cut content they would have made sure to make it inaccessible. Also, I find it unlikely that a potential new area would have used copied and rotated geometry from other rooms as a starting point. If this was the case, they would need to change the area's geometry later if they made it a thing, and that would be a pain after spending some time developing it. It would make more sense to construe it out of simple geometry with a placeholder texture, and then refine it later.
@@ManoredRed "whosever rotated this could have easily removed the resulting vertical fog gate, so it could only be an intentional inclusion." This is contingent on it having been worked on up to X level of completion. The designer may have simply taken a step away after rotating - again, unlikely, but not something you can assume to be impossible. "If it were a testing area, there would be little reason to place it there. If it were cut content they would have made sure to make it inaccessible." I agree. "If this was the case, they would need to change the area's geometry later if they made it a thing, and that would be a pain after spending some time developing it." I think you overestimate how much time it takes to make something like this, considering all the present assets were pre-existing. "It would make more sense to construe it out of simple geometry with a placeholder texture, and then refine it later." Potentially, but you'd be surprised at how much developers will reuse other assets as placeholders while prototyping/experimenting/mocking up an area, especially if said area-in-progress is going to attach to an already-existing area with its own asset pack, depending on how far into development this takes place.

At first I was like: "heh, just regular terrain with nothing in it",
then I went
"HOLY SHIT, UNUSED ENEMIES?!"
Thought this was real lol
Modders have taken this game apart at this point. It would be impossible for a secret like this to have eluded the playerbase.
How many freaking awesome enemydesigns can you guys design?
ffromsoft: YES!
wow... you just gave me a good reason to start a new playthrough
lol after all these years...
This is a mod, numbnuts
"This is no mine. It's a tomb"
What the hell? This is for real? I just thought that was a drop into certain death.
he made that himself.
That's the sort of stuff i can see in my dreams sometimes.
This is the first time I have ever seen a bonfire mimic
Those mobs were guarding merro station to alternate universe where izalith is nice to explore, and players dont want to kermit sudoku every time they attempt bed of chaos
This gameplay reminds me of ds2
Lmao "bro just lure them out 1v1 stop complaining" 🤣
@@dutchbannger6503 When there's like 20 of them waiting in a narrow corridor.
@@martk647 and you're hollowed out to the max, with one hp
@@Victor_StudentOfFloppa I actually saw it lvl up elemental resistance and poise and thought "that'll be cool to have"
Then I learned of it's true purpose: speed animations up
The backrooms in dark souls confirmed
Now I need to go through Dark Souls again just to explore this
This is where the real dark souls begins
I’m speaking for many of us when I say this fixed a great frustration.
If they didn’t want us to fall to our death then why did they make the conveniently placed Super Mario hole so appealing?
Wtf I've seen that but I can't remember if I actually was there in game, if I dreamed it or if I just got a weird deja vu feeling with this video
Imagine if the remastered actually remastered the area like lost izaliath it would’ve been interesting to see the original concept sadly only Miyazaki will only know
Reminds me of that weird stairs area on the first appearance of the god hand on berserk's manga.
Kinda reminds me of the opening scene with the furtive pygmy and the first flame
That's the subway system in Lordran...
all those drops in distorted space reminded me of the prison in Silent Hill 2..
Thank you for showing me I will explore the place and see what else is there
And make a video on it thank you very much for this and for these enemies I have something that is useful
Imagine if when he fell, the Mario 64 painting sound effect played, and then it went ba ba ba, ba ba ba... That would be funny
How is this made? Did you create a new area? Retextured some place? Or is it a unfinished asset toggled on? I heard that it was very hard to do map changes in Dark Souls.
no you dont get it its real
This is where the characters take breaks at my guy.
Feels like a fever dream
Anyone else see the hidden door at 0:34?
Oh yeah wtf how do u get to this area imma try on DS remastered
The undead backrooms
Oh, that's where Izalith put all those spider-monkeys. Always thought she killed them.
I feel bloodborne vibes and silent hill with the textures and placement of the corridor
Ah yes, the dark rooms
The building looks tilted sideways
This is why I love this game
Reminds me of Silent Hill 2, that part where you just fall down a series of holes
Since some people actually thought this was real, I suppose I should point out that:
0:07 The developers never use a fog gate like this, you never enter fog gates via falling on them, and this looks very crude. It should be obvious this was modded in.
0:08 You can see the void through this large hole in the wall. If this was a real secret area, the developers would never have let such a glaring hole in the world in the player's sight. Even Lost Izalith isn't that shoddy.
There are other evidence off course, including the fact that this game has been data-mined to death and something like this would never have escaped notice, I'm just pointing out two fairly egregious things right in the beginning.
....You do realize that the entire area is rotated 90 degrees, right? So, if the fog gate had been rotated along with it, it would've been a totally reasonable spot for a fog gate, whether its placing was planned to be permanent or not.
That "hole in the wall" would actually be a hole in the ceiling, which would let the player see the skybox/something else out of bounds if they were to look. It's not like the areas was finished, hence the lack of detailing, enemies, etc. - it looks like it was just a work-in-progress area, potentially for testing purposes.
@@RetrOchannel But I am talking about the rotated area as show in the video. I am making no commentary in the area as it actually exists in the game.
As in, I'm aware of the fact that that hole does not face a void in the original area. I am saying the rotated copy, which places the hole in a position that exposes the void, makes it obvious that this is a mod.
@@ManoredRed "But I am talking about the rotated area as show in the video."
...I know that? Hence why I prefaced my comment stating that it was rotated. What did I say that communicated I was talking about some other area?
"I am making no commentary in the area as it actually exists in the game."
You are though, because you're saying "here are clues that tip you off that it is obvious this was modded in." Yes, your perspective of the area is limited to whatever was shown in the video, but the clues you highlight are shown in the video and, considering you thought they were concrete enough to remark on follows that I must also be able to remark on them, right?
Just because the area is exposed to the void via a rotated ceiling piece does not mean that it *must be* a mod. There are several cases of games in which they have left-over content from other stages of the game development, from prototyping, from playtesting, or fairly or even entirely finished content that was decided to be cut. Have you seen the "Northern Limit" cut area from Demon's Souls?
In considering, hypothetically, that this were "real", the creator could have simply rotated the entire area because there weren't any room tiles that supported a tall vertical drop, and was using rotated pieces temporarily before the art team could make some just so they could playtest it. Or maybe they were working on the area and wasn't very confident in how it was going so they rotated the entire area as a joke. Or maybe they were considering testing around with a vertical fog gate. You're treating the area as if this *must be* the final version, and you fail to realize that things may just be temporary.
@@RetrOchannel Well, you commented that the fog gate's placement was justified by the fact that this is a rotated copy from another area, where a fog gate there could be justified except it would have been horizontal.
This didn't make sense to me because whosever rotated this could have easily removed the resulting vertical fog gate, so it could only be an intentional inclusion.
Anyways, it seems your protest is based on the idea of that this could have been cut content/a testing area and that would explain the unfinished-ness and the use of rotated room copies.
If it were a testing area, there would be little reason to place it there. If it were cut content they would have made sure to make it inaccessible.
Also, I find it unlikely that a potential new area would have used copied and rotated geometry from other rooms as a starting point. If this was the case, they would need to change the area's geometry later if they made it a thing, and that would be a pain after spending some time developing it. It would make more sense to construe it out of simple geometry with a placeholder texture, and then refine it later.
@@ManoredRed "whosever rotated this could have easily removed the resulting vertical fog gate, so it could only be an intentional inclusion."
This is contingent on it having been worked on up to X level of completion. The designer may have simply taken a step away after rotating - again, unlikely, but not something you can assume to be impossible.
"If it were a testing area, there would be little reason to place it there. If it were cut content they would have made sure to make it inaccessible."
I agree.
"If this was the case, they would need to change the area's geometry later if they made it a thing, and that would be a pain after spending some time developing it."
I think you overestimate how much time it takes to make something like this, considering all the present assets were pre-existing.
"It would make more sense to construe it out of simple geometry with a placeholder texture, and then refine it later."
Potentially, but you'd be surprised at how much developers will reuse other assets as placeholders while prototyping/experimenting/mocking up an area, especially if said area-in-progress is going to attach to an already-existing area with its own asset pack, depending on how far into development this takes place.
remember, this only happens on pure white world tendency
600 hours in dark souls and I had no clue about this.
I saw those enemies before,they are like spider hollows,they where going to be used on the game but was cancelled,liek a boss called “king of undeads”
Looks like a London tube to me

Lost-er Izalith
This is unironically better than the lava dragon torsos area
Sicko bro, a real banger
