Judging by the shape of the bug, you're looking at izalith's brain. You can see the wrinkly frontal cortex, and the spinal cord, and it was all twisted and ripped from her original body.
So, for what I interpretate, this bug IS the Witch of Izalith, and the giant branch & fire creature is just her puppet to defend herself, I mean, if we kill the bug, the Bed of Chaos dies too
According to the Lore, when the Witch of Izalith created the Chaos Flame, it twisted her and two of her daughters into the Bed of Chaos. The daughters became the two cores that create the barrier around the Bed's core, but interestingly the central body is called "King Izalith" in the game files. But that's a separate entity from the flaming body that appears from its top when the barrier is destroyed. All that is to say, yeah, it's almost certainly a puppet and the Chaos Bug is the Witch herself.
@@burnttoast26 I agree. I hate how you have to traverse the lava and the crap enemy placement and bosses. Still seeing the Izalith dome for the first time gave me Megaphobia. I can't help but like the root-lava thing and how it carried on to the Ivory King boss arena.
Considering the Bed of Chaos (as in, the giant tree-like monster) is internally referred as "King Izalith" it makes sense that the bug it protects do dearly inside is the Witch of Izalith
Statues of the Deathroot Wormface dudes were in Bloodborne and they have a "tree" thing going on. Also they're wearing the same shawl as Flame of Frenzy guy's waifu in that portrait, so there's a connection with chaotic flame. fromsoft is making me schitz
@simonepiroddi3916 It isn't an easter egg , it is hinted a lot that the bearers of the great souls are the gods of the first game but either reincarnated like Seath or the same like the witch of Izalith being the lost sinner , even the lore hints at the lost sinner trying to reignite the first flame like the witch of Izalith did by recreating it .
@simonepiroddi3916 I mean… the lost sinner is the reincarnation of the witch of Izalith, so the bug appearing is a nod to that fact. Of course it’s a bit weird that the bug would somehow survive… but with the Lost Sinner’s connection to pyromancy I can only imagine she somehow tried reviving the bug. It does still kinda seems like a little easter egg honestly… but at the same time I find the game makes it pretty clear why the bug is being referenced in this specific cutscene. I’m sad there’s wasn’t more to the bug other than being included in the cutscene, some kind of attack related to the bug would’ve been cool.
Never realized it was actually that bug-shaped. I thought that the Witch of Izalith was still mostly herself, just on fire and with tree and bug bits growing out of her.
I unironically wouldn't mind a reworked, more functional Bed of Chaos fight to return in Nightreign, since it seems to be combining the "Fromsoft mythos" in some way. I never hated the concept of the fight personally, it just doesn't work well within the mechanics of Dark Souls 1. If they corrected the brutal hitboxes on the arm swipes, I think alongside the faster pace of Nightreign, being more of an action game by first details rather than an RPG ie. leaning towards Sekiro, jumping over and around the Bed as it attempts to knock you into the abyss could actually work as a cinematic and epic encounter.
I think if they took a page from Sekiro the boss's design would be more functional if not easy. So falling into the void under the arena only resets your position and deals you a chunk of damage instead of an instant kill.
Dear friend @metalmonster9536 It is not witch of izalith. It is what she and her 2 big daughters unintentionally created when they were trying to create a new (first) flame by the lord soul they have. As you know, it was a "soul of life". Therefore, by it's nature, it could create only (and only) life, meaning "living being". (NOT A NON-LIVING THING! WHICH IS "FLAME") As an inevitable consequance, they (Izalith and her 2 big daughters) eventually be smited with their foul attempt. Forcing "life soul" to create a non-living entity... ... Izalith got a unspeakable fetus after her capital sin. If you look closer to flame (around the fetus), you can easily see the incantations which is cited on the very foul ritual...
I feel like they wanted this to be like the moment in demon's souls you realize the core of the great one is a pathetic slug like monstrosity. But here players are too pissed off at the boss to take time to look at it plus you can still be hit by fire storm magic and die while inside the bed of chaos with little to no room to avoid it. So it's best not to hesitate to kill it.
"Oh ok, I just need to kill the bugs to progress. I'll go to the other side to get the other one." - Last words of players who fought this terrible boss
Despite the actual ass that this fight was, I don’t think I’d mind more puzzle style bosses in FromSoft games. If they pulled off a full revamp of DS2 (basically Elden Ring with a more linear map) or some sort of new property with a more Twilight Princess feel to it, I wouldn’t mind at all
So that thing is what the witch turned into or did she transform into the tree thing? If it was the tree, what the hell is the bug and it's relation to the witch? Does that thing conjure the avatar of chaos during the boss fight?
So, what's the lore behind this thing? Is it a subproduct from the Bed of Chaos? A little critter that made its home inside the roots? Does it control the boss? So many questions outnumbered only by the negative reception towards this boss
people would cry and whinge about it "missing the point of the original" just like they did for demons souls, despite the demons souls remake being better in almost every way except for the soundtrack
@@kingobama4305 Yeah man, the way the Valley is now a pretty, nicely, warmly lit dark hole is a vast improvement over the original. In no way does it miss the point of communicating how miserable that place is with the absurd abundance of "modern lighting". Nah. It totally looks way better as a UE4-esque omnilit "dark place". Yup. It really is just the OST, rather than the entire game. Yup, totally.
@@kingobama4305except the art direction, the character design, the voice acting, the animations, the atmosphere, the sound effects, etc. just take fromsoftware's game, make it uglier and cartoony for no reason and it is better, yeah sure. hope those hacks are never allowed to sully and corrupt other's ouvres ever again, but with golems like you and OP throwing money at the most uninspired, soulless insulting "remakes" and "remasters" it seems we won't be so lucky.
What are you talking about? When did BP ever touch mechanics in DeS? It would be the exact same thing with "modern" textures and an excessive amount of light sources. That's it.
May be a hot take: but not only does the bed of chaos boss fight objectively suck, but so does it's music. Instead of sounding badass or menacing like four kings or nitos music it just sounds like random instruments interrupting each other. Maybe that's supposed to be what "chaos" is, but just sounds like you're dealing with something weak and underwheming and blah
Maybe it was intentional. Like with some other bosses it seems you're fighting this thing while it's well past is prime. I'm sure the great firestorms the witches summoned to bring down the giant arch trees would make this thing look very meek indeed, very bug like.
Despite having great lore and designs the four lord souls fights sure do suck, especially the four kings which is basically just a slugging match against multiple of the same enemy who's design they didn't even make unique from one another , hell not even the name is accurate as you can fight and defeat way more than just four of them.
Unfortunatly is common knowledge that the second half of ds1 was rushed so all the lategame feels worse than pre anor londo. Probably the four kings where rushed too
oh yeah That's my favourite boss U DROP ME FROM ARENA AGAIN?! But if tell without jokes-i love Soulslike bosses, who have interesting things in battles..(and hate things like malenia,who's a boss only bcs of 1 attack))
ds2 just bringing its model back wholesale is such a ridiculously stupid lorehole that not enough people talk about when discussing the infinite failures of ds2

The Witch has certainly seen better days
Still hot though
dubious little creature
getting up to mischief
This is no good
Chaotic in nature.
@@EnglishDevil very icky, no good
UGH
So it's... a bed bug of chaos???
😂 The profile pic is so perfect for this comment
that godamn little bug has caused fall deaths than probably any other boss in DS1
Possibly all of souls tbh
*more
& it even caused a few deaths in Ds2.
So, for what I interpretate, this bug IS the Witch of Izalith, and the giant branch & fire creature is just her puppet to defend herself, I mean, if we kill the bug, the Bed of Chaos dies too
damn bro did you figure that out by yourself???
No need to be patronising @@__-be1gk
In the lore, I think the bed of chaos took possession of izalith
And as someone said in the comments, this bug looks like a brain
According to the Lore, when the Witch of Izalith created the Chaos Flame, it twisted her and two of her daughters into the Bed of Chaos. The daughters became the two cores that create the barrier around the Bed's core, but interestingly the central body is called "King Izalith" in the game files. But that's a separate entity from the flaming body that appears from its top when the barrier is destroyed.
All that is to say, yeah, it's almost certainly a puppet and the Chaos Bug is the Witch herself.
What an adorable little flaming ball of agony
Where's the fire?
Despite us hating this boss, we can't help feeling fascinated about it
Who's "we"? Don't jumble me with you. This boss can leave
I like it. The whole nature of Chaos is messed up lore-wise so the boss being a platforming puzzle extends that into the game mechanics.
The lore and story surrounding Chaos and Demon Ruins/Lost Izalith are fantastic, but the gameplay for them is terrible
@@glorbog yet still you clicked on it
@@burnttoast26 I agree. I hate how you have to traverse the lava and the crap enemy placement and bosses. Still seeing the Izalith dome for the first time gave me Megaphobia. I can't help but like the root-lava thing and how it carried on to the Ivory King boss arena.
"isn't my dog cute?"
The dog:

Behold, the last Queen of Izalith, Mother of Demons, the Witch of Chaos.
I was under the impression this IS the bed of chaos
technically its a bed bug
Ouch, The Witch and her daughters really let themselves go...
You could call it... a _bed bug!_
... I'll see myself out.
Just now realizing how much the Bed of Chaos looks like an Amygdala.
It's like they reuse assets that they previously made or have it something
@@glorbogit’s a completely different asset???
@@glorbogAlmost like there’s a reason Nightreign is a multiverse.
@@lillonerboi504 it's like a thing that is something that something thought of or something 🤔

The way it moves the more I stared at it the more disturbed I felt. Never really got to see it that up close.
I didn't know that the parasite in Lost Sinner was Bed of Chaos.
However, you can get the witch's soul with NG+, so it makes sense.
Yeah, lorewhise makes nosense like 90% of ds2 but probably wasn't ment to make sense at all, it's only a little easter egg
@simonepiroddi3916 It isn't an easter egg , it is hinted a lot that the bearers of the great souls are the gods of the first game but either reincarnated like Seath or the same like the witch of Izalith being the lost sinner , even the lore hints at the lost sinner trying to reignite the first flame like the witch of Izalith did by recreating it .
@simonepiroddi3916I think they use it as a way to say that the world "grew" and the old Lords of Lordran became small remains of that era
Chaos Bugs, guess the Sinner was too fascinated by the Old Chaos and found/made one that got by Alsanna.
@simonepiroddi3916 I mean… the lost sinner is the reincarnation of the witch of Izalith, so the bug appearing is a nod to that fact.

Remember it was originally supposed to be able to walk.
Its looks like the same bug that goes inside lost sinner eyes cutscene ds2.
Edit: i watched video till the end
Ah yes, what remains of the Witch of Izalith.
Never knew the bug in Lost Sinner's mask resembled her - I thought it was a sunlight maggot

Офигеть, спасибо! Давно хотел увидеть близкий взгляд на этого жука
imagine this coming back in Nightreign
That would be fantastic. Because that would mean we'll finally see proper, fixed and sophisticated version of this boss.
Is more easy now, u can jump to avoid attacks, ash of war for evade like raptor mist,etc

So horrifying to the point the developer apologized
She looks like my mom when she's angry :o
Crazy how such an ugly little thing has caused so much rage and suffering for the players.
I always liked that little touch that a lot of the "fire" doesn't seem to be fire. Looks like text, of some kind.
The witch of Izalith turned into a tiny bug piloting a fre tree mech at the end of a fun slide. Weird when you say it out loud.
Despite the actual ass that this fight was, I don’t think I’d mind more puzzle style bosses in FromSoft games. If they pulled off a full revamp of DS2 (basically Elden Ring with a more linear map) or some sort of new property with a more Twilight Princess feel to it, I wouldn’t mind at all
That bug used to be a baddie💔
I wish for this boss to be included in Elden Ring Night Reign and put it numerously .
but only the bug so I can bully hell out of it.
The Lost Sinner has had far too close of a look at this bug, and it has had far too close of a look at him/her.
She's In Dark Souls 2
Has a vaguely cephalic shape, never caught on that until now.
yaaaas queen 🔥🔥
I never noticed this thing was crawling in the Lost Sinner's eye
The "tail" coming out of the back end looks a lot looks a centipede, perhaps a connection to the Centipede Demon.
Looks like a Todd McFarlane thing
Love how the music kinda sounds like the simpsons theme XD
Kafkaesque
Reninds me of the ivory king battle arena you can see the branches the fire and hear screams as if its hell.
The face almost resembles manus in a strange way
Mf really look at "The Stand" Steven King movie & said "bet"
Me for 2 hours after I wake up:
gonna need a bigger jar
It's eyes kind of look similar to the abyssal serpent's eyes from Shadow of the Erdtree
This thing is just sad.
i wonder which came first the bug or the chaos
So that thing is what the witch turned into or did she transform into the tree thing? If it was the tree, what the hell is the bug and it's relation to the witch? Does that thing conjure the avatar of chaos during the boss fight?
I wonder why the witches in Dark Souls are prone to transform in abominations, like the Bed of Chaos and the Monstrosities of Sins.
Hope we see it in nightreign
The best boss 2011 (TBB 2011)
Is this because return to lordran is almost upon us?
Ok but who is the Witch Queen of Izalith? The bug or the tree?
The bug. The tree is being puppeted by the Witch to defend herself.
Are the characteristics of this foul bug random or intentional?
He just like me fr
Low the music. UHHHHHHHHHH OHHHHHHHH
So, what's the lore behind this thing? Is it a subproduct from the Bed of Chaos? A little critter that made its home inside the roots? Does it control the boss? So many questions outnumbered only by the negative reception towards this boss
It’s the witch of izalith
It's what's left of the original Witch of Izalith after the Flame of Chaos twisted her form into a disgusting insect.
I think it's the brain of the WoI turned into a demon.
I always thought the witch was the tree creature itself
Wtf is even this potato thing?
