The Dark Demon is a hidden boss in the snes game “Demon’s Crest”, defeating him leads to the 4th ending. I’ve defeated him within 2:14 having 4 healthspheres left. No spells or potions have been used. Talisman and form have never been switched during the battle. The video is NOT tool assisted in any way! The window you see in the beginning is the zsnes 1.42 replay function. I intentionally get hit by the homing sphere and the spikes to become invulnerable for a short period of time. This way he only hits me 6 times with his more powerful attacks. Damage Chart for the Dark Demon: Homing Sphere: 1 damage (40 hits lethal) Spikes: 1 damage Crimson Sickles: 4 damage (10 hits lethal) Stones dropping from ceiling: 4 damage Spike-creating Energy Orb: 6 damage (6-7 hits lethal) Acid Rain: 6 damage Touching the demon: 8 damage (5 hits lethal) Usually, Firebrand (the player controlled gargoyle) has 20 hitpoints and 75% damage reduction at this point. I exchanged the ‘Armor’ with ‘Fang’ for double damage, thus having only 50% reduction. The Dark Demon lasts 35 hits using ‘Fang’, his Homing Spheres last 4 hits and are instantly replaced after being destroyed. Both, Firebrand and the Dark Demon, are invulnerable after being hit. This is indicated by the white flashing. Unless you have played the game, you have no idea how difficult the controls are: jump while on the gound = you jump jump while in air = you start flying jump while flying = you start falling get hit while jumping/flying …

I nearly declared myself a divinity when i managed to beat him without using savestates because of how incredibly good a person must be to do so. But you sir, are beyond even that. Impressive indeed.
trully this game is full with difficult bosses… for me, this game has the most hard bosses ever… the last one this hidden one… they’re incredibly hard!
Really nice. Your next challenge now is to beat it without losing any health. Hehe. 😛
Very good work, I can’t beat him without using several potions and even then I stuggle. 😛
in this case, it has the advantage of passing through the dark demon while he is invincible, adding a chance to hit him right away when he becomes vulnerable again. but i didn’t charge it long enough so it turned out as a normal shot.
you mastered this game. Grats! time to train for me 🙂
Nevermind, I figured it out myself: The Ultimate Gargoyle actually got the ability to charge up his attack ny holding down Y. However, that charged shot doesn’t seem to deal more damage. It just has the ability to hit multiple enemies in a line.
At 2:00 there are strange white dots gathering around Firebrand. Where do those come from? I’ve never seen them before.
wow oO having played the game myself i know how hard it is, ur damn good 😛
ps: for the guys who say its sped up, it’s not. go play the game yourself
or even better, compare it to the speed in similar dark demon videos…
“oh this is unlikely to happen, so it must be cheated!”
as a matter of fact this took me dozend of tries. but it is NOT sped up, you have my word!
if you still don’t belive me, run the goddamn emulator next to this video in window mode and compare the clocks or the demon’s movement or whatever…
yeah, this is sped up. probably took 5-6 minutes at least.
insane… never seen so much talent on demon’s crest o.o never thought you could beat him w/o pots
defeating the dark demon leads to the 4th ending.
however, the limits i set myself were merely a challenge.
hey does it give you anything or is it just for the challenge?
look at the watch in the corner, you can see that nothing has been sped up by video settings. if the gameplay was sped up, the music would be messed up…
its common zsnes 1.36 with auto frame rate settings (max skip: 3 frames) and constant 60/60 frames. so exactly the same speed i play on.
it might be possible that the emulator runs faster than others, or the original snes.
awesome dude. i see u sped up the gameplay or vid
still, you were the first person to defeat him without ginseng. i have deep respect for that (knowing how goddamn hard it is ^^), and your survived with more hitpoints.
guy…you are the master *.*
Nice Job^^
Ever wondered how to cast a spell? Potions… Potions, yes! I like crystals… Lots of crystals… So shiny!
what i dont get is the two people
unusuallychipper & that other guy
why they had a negative rating on them?
WTF THIS LADY IS SCARY
Here’s a love potion for you, Mix one pint of 180 proof grain alcohol with just about anything. To avoid injury and save time strip naked before consuming. Works best with Frat boys and sports teams.
