okey so I wanted to try another class so I had already been the heavy brute that I always start with in RPG's so I decided to try another class just for fun. I picked the hunter, They are very fast and their stamina recharges quickly. I plowed trough the weak dudes that were in my way and finally came to the Vanguard.  I rolled around slashed the living daylight out of him and here is what happens. A archstone spawns in the middle of the room and when you touch it you get teleportedto a creepy ruin. You hear laud roars and see a big ass demon similar to the Dragon god. Remember the Demon with the strange head in the opening, yeah that was him. You run around get some souls and some sharp stone and finally run out to a platform were I though I was going to fight the bastard but no you get a cut scene of you getting punched to death by his huge fist and then you get the normal beginning with the satisfaction of have beaten the games tutorial.

what a waste of  a post...and an account icon, for that matter

That boss that punches you to death is the archdemon of world 2.
 
Have fun!

That was pretty neat.  It's cool that the devs didn't just make the starting demon invincible.

Awesome. I honestly had no idea this was possible, never really even payed it a second though. Will have to try this now  

Slightly OT but I think in Ninja Gaiden you could actually beat that knight you fight the first time when you leave the burning building. Not too long after the crazy burning horse boss...

yeah i beat that fucker too
 
the best tip to beating tutorial boss is to get neked
 
he'd kill you in one shot anyway so might as well have the agility
