On New Game Plus, the Asylum Demon can be easily defeated in the first encounter as the player retains all their equipment. Furthermore, do not stand upon the platform for too long, as the Demon will eventually leap up and destroy the platform, potentially killing the player. Take note that wielding one's weapon two-handed is recommended for the plunging attack, as it will increase the damage of the attack. This will typically deal 1/4 of its health bar, varying depending on which weapon is used. The second encounter with the Demon is mandatory but the player can gain a massive advantage by using a plunging attack from the ledge above the boss. It is recommended you use the Straight Sword Hilt as a shield as it can stop some damage and has lower DPS than your fist. Simply cling to his back and move away when he floats upwards.
The same strategy used against the Vanguard from Demon's Souls can be used here. Killing the Asylum Demon within this first encounter will yield the Demon's Great Hammer.
However, if the player has obtained Black Firebombs as a starting gift, they can be used to defeat the Demon relatively quickly, requiring just 5 of them (in NG). The first encounter with the Asylum Demon is optional and it is highly advised for first-time players to escape the room to avoid confrontation. It will attack the player in the room immediately after the first bonfire, through the first set of large double-doors.
