The Long Range Hammer is used when the player is on the other side of the room OR is not within typical hit range, from the Asylum Demon he raises his club above/behind his head and then launches a straight forward long range attack with his hammer, which has slight area of effect upon impact. While it is impossible to block, it has both poor range and tracking, so simply move out of the way when you see the Demon raise his hammer vertically. The Hammer Drive is a pinpoint attack used by the Asylum Demon, when standing directly in front of him.

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. If you choose to evade, you will still have to face him a little later, but with the benefit of having more equipment.ĭuring 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. 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 stand in the doorway and look up, you will see the Asylum Demon waiting above the area at the far end. 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.
