I'm about to go to Lost Izalith, is it easier to go through the Centipede Demon way (I've already killed it) or the Chaos covenant way (I've already opened it)?
@dross: The regular way has a lot of lava (with monsters in it), but the Chaos path has no lava. The only warning about the Chaos path is that there is a Titanite Demon in the middle of a bridge that can knock you off to your doom if your not careful.
Also if you take the Chaos path and kill all of the little bugs down there before you kill the Bed of Chaos you can finish Solaire's quest, and he can thus help you with the final boss. That's if you want to do that of course.
Hope that helps you in some way. Good luck with The Bed Of Chaos (I hate that damed boss).
The dragon legs at the lava don't aggro (with a few notable exceptions) but you can easily outrun them even if they chase you. It's not that hard. Just remember to have that ring equipped so you don't take fire damage. If you don't want to deal with those enemies just take the Chaos shortcut and it gives you a chance to farm some Demon Titanite on the bridge on your way to the Bed of Chaos.
@probablytuna: @viciousbearmauling: You should've seen those butt guys in vanilla Dark Souls, before From dramatically reduced their aggro range. It was nuts.
If you already have the short cut open might as well i guess? I've never used it. I've always found izaleth to be the easiest of the 4 late game bosses zones to get through.
Hell after Anor Lando i think the game got alot easier in general, but maybe thats just me.
Either way you go you should be ok, Izaleth should be a cakewake aside from the poorly designed boss.
I found the covenant way to be the easiest and the shortest. Hell, I didn't even see the lava way until I came around from the other side and I still didn't have the ring.

It should be noted that while you don't take fire damage using the ring, your equipment still does, so you'll need to repair it at a bonfire or blacksmith.

Yeah but the repairs costs so little and I doubt it takes away a whole lot. I don't remember having any of my equipment taking damage to the point that it started breaking while I was there.
I don't think the shortcut is worth it unless you want the covenant reward. It's too expensive and tedious to unlock, since you can't feed all thirty humanities at once. I find the regular path easy.

I agree, it's not worth speding 30 humanities for that.
You can always go for the normal route, stop at the "secret" bonfire and unlock the shortcut from the other way in case you want to farm demon titanites from the faceless dude.
The lava itself isn't a big deal with the orange charred ring aside from the annoying brightness and sound :|
