Alright, I hope I'm not testing anyone's patience with these posts, and I am grateful for the replies, but I don't want to give people false information so I need to issue a redaction. I was wrong about reloading checkpoint saves and doing so affecting drops. It was just my bad luck after all. Sorry about that.

What I will continue to question is whether or not the daimon has an adaptive AI. Now, I don't know for sure, but I've killed him about 15 times in a row still trying to get the traitor greaves. I got hellfire greaves twice in a row now, damn the luck, but I wish I had some way of uploading video from my PS3 because the daimon is really pissed off now. He's anticipating my attacks insteadof just reacting to them, and scaling him is out of the question most of the time. If I get anywhere near him, he immdiately casts the lighning attack on himself folowed by the self-immolating thing.

While I am aware that he casts more spells and performs more attacks as his HP drops, I have never seen anything like this before. Again, can't be sure, I'm too busy dodging attacks and all that, but it seems like he's now just skipping the casting animations altogether and casting multiple spells at once. The second I run away, he does the grab attack.

Even the unawakened form seems to be getting more and more diffcult. Normally I have no problem with him. It takes all of half a minute to "kill" him on hard mode, but within the past few runs, he's started spamming the dive attack constantly and I can't hold on to him anymore, even buffed for strength. The last time I fought him, which was just now, he ran my Arisen into every pillar in the damn room before I finally bested him.

I cannot believe this is coincidence, not after so many trials, but the mods and other regulars would know best.
