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.

When you stand in the doorway and look up, you will see the Asylum Demon waiting above the area at the far end. As you enter the room, he leaps down. You may either fight him then or escape through a gate at the other side of the room.

The Asylum Demon is a massive and fearsome creature. Its spotted blue-green scales glisten menacingly in the dim light, and its stubby wings on its back twitch. The demon's tail sways ominously along with his fat, blue-green-scaled ass as he eyed you suspiciously, his Demon's Great Hammer resting on his shoulder.
