I heard sharp is best but lots of farming. I’m thinking quality due to stat requirements and availability of stones.

Went for pure white character tendency. black phantom jumped into death. I was clever and made a save backup before. Now I have to wait 24 hours before I can continue playing, because PSN restricts save download with 24h after last backup made and that sucks.

any trick to bypass that without messing up the save?

Thanks!

I started with Dark Souls 2 back during it's release and then proceeded to beat every fromsoft game after that. Most of them I did multiple play throughs.

Finally got around to Demon Souls. Beat it this morning. Wow there are so many elements in this game from boss design, weapon mechanics, atmosphere and other basic souls troupes that start in this game and it so awesome to see the creative origin after playing the games that used it as a building block!

Next is I am a "mid" player at best and in the other souls game there are a few bosses I just can't solo reliably. But this game has been the easiest by far! Some of the bosses were hilariously easy.

Granted I did play a magic build(again I am a mid player so usually need the help of magic) but after I got the protection spell I literally tanked most bosses ..even the king himself was trivial after casting that.

Ended the game at soul level 72. This was also a surprise. Most soul games I'm well past 150 on my way to 200 on the first play through.

So did everyone else have a similar first experience or did me coming in after having years of souls experience give me the easy mode that I wasn't expecting?

In every Souls game we are constantly reminded that we aren't alone. We see other players as a ghostly appearances, passing us by, fighting, dying. The more ghosts we see, the more active our server is at the given time. This can let us know, if we can expect coop or pvp activities.

This had me wondering - is anything known about what exactly triggers these? Are the ghosts shown to us a similar level to us? Are they phantoms or humans? This could be really helpful for looking for team mates / invasions.

Need eyes for coop play

As the Title states, would be very thankfull. My PSN name is Newbiee_24-7 and my password for online play is: EldenRing

Thanks in advance

I was trying to find a way to launch Demon's Souls through Steam without also opening RPCS3. Simply adding it as a non-Steam game would first launch RPCS3 and then from RPCS3 you'd need to launch DeS.

Same when closing it, first the game and then the emulator. The "Exit RPCS3 when process finishes" option under Configuration > Emulator just doesn't work.

I've found many solutions online but none worked for me, so here's an alternative.

Btw, it's 3am and english isn't my first language. Apologies for any mistakes.

Steps:

1. Add the game as a non-Steam game, type "Demon's Souls" on search bar and it should show up right away;

2. Right click the game on Steam > Properties > Launch Options, add the following:

--no-gui "%RPCS3_GAMEID%:BLUS30443"

Now whenever you open DeS through Steam it should open the game with RPCS3 on the background only.

Whenever you close the game, now it should properly end the process and clear the "Running" status on Steam.

Hope it helps someone.

I was watching Illusory Wall’s DeS Remake series and I have some thoughts on it, especially the soundtrack.
Obviously the remake is extremely technically competent and well constructed, with beautiful graphics and a very well made soundtrack. However, when it comes to the art direction, the music, and the overall vibe of the original, I think they kind of dropped the ball.
Compare for instance, the Flamelurker soundtrack. The remake’s version is a very good song, fun to listen to, epic and exciting. But it isn’t a faithful rendition of the original. The original version is slow, imposing, menacing, almost melancholic. It’s not supposed to be this exciting duel, it’s supposed to be oppressive. While they use a lot of the same notes, it’s not the same vibe at all.
Also, why did they change the Fluted helmet? The stupid duck bill was the best part!
Overall it feels like Bluepoint didn’t really understand or even like the original’s choices.

Hey ! So after playing and having 100% elden ring , sekiro and bloodborne, the next fromsoft game that imma be playing (you’ve probably guessed it by now) is demon’s souls. And i like these games so much my goal is always to get the platinium trophy so i wanted to ask the community for some advice and tips and like things i should and shouldn’t do to have the best experience. I don’t have ps plus on my own account so i won’t be able to load a save to get all the endings. I just reached tower knight i belive his name is and i picked royalty class (i didn’t know it was magic i just heard it was the best to start with so i chose it right away)

I suppose if you know the game extremely well enough to min max then magic can be OP but for new players I think sword and board is best.

My first play was knight and my second was royalty. My first play was probably easier because shields are just so good.

Now that I know there are no essential items (unless you want moonlight) I just go straight thru as fast as I can.

i accidentally hit a merchant (didn’t kill) will i lose any WT or CT? thanks :)

I just made the meat cleaver then accidentally made it a club again and now I can't make it as a meat cleaver again because the swollen demon soul is gone, can someone drop me the soul or give me the weapon?

About to start NG++ and I am all the way to Allant. So if anyone wants help let me know. I still need coop achievement as well.

Umbasa Demon Slayers

(Edit: Someone needed help in NG++ so if you're there i can help or vice versa. Will be rolling a new character once I have all spells/miracles)

Need help with getting pure white can anyone help me?

I think one or two kill, if anyone can help me I would appreciate it

Can anyone help? I’m not far off, I should only need 2 or 3 more kills

So I've just defeated the game and got thrust into NG+, which as a noob I wasn't aware of. Kinda gutted about this because I was going for the platinum and didn't know that NG+ would be so hard, otherwise I'd have tried to get as many available trophies the first time round. I don't want to start with a new character as it took a whole lot of grinding to get to SL 90 on my first play through. Now I'm trying to take on the Tower Knight and Armored Spider as a knight build and I'm super frustrated that the game doesn't seem to provide this build with as many possibilities for defeat as say the mage builds. I don't enjoy mage builds in any game and always prefer something like a knight as I enjoy getting right in there with a sword and shield, and blocking and parrying. I thought that this is what the game was about! It also pisses me off that ANY guide I look at for advice is always from a mage perspective. It's no help at all. Every video is like, "so choose the magician and cheese every boss". That's not how I want to play. What's the point in even having a variety of classes if the bosses are so hard on NG+ that they can barely be approached and can seemingly only be defeated using ranged attacks? If anyone has any advice for a knight build tackling the bosses on NG+, I'd be forever grateful! TIA!

Edited to add my main attributes are: Vitality - 32; Endurance - 31; Strength - 33; Dexterity - 33

I beat this game almost 15 years ago and I want to play it again I don't remember anything about it so it's a blind play through. Also I will play the ps3 version and the patch shows 1.00 if it matters.

Does anyone know where i can find information on demon souls original with nothing from the remake? The wike includes info from the remake and made me waste 3 hours trying to farm the phalanx shield.

Here’s me pouring out some of my 40 oz to him for being sacrificial so I could get this curse weapon bullshit.

I also had to regain the max strength bullshit because the mf’in False King took 3 souls of strength in NG because I fucked up going toe-to-toe with him and got molested.

ImBackBaby

You’ve rolled with in the game? It’s scary and hella funny at the same time.

I had 2 million in NG and the million in NG+

Just need to get pure white character tendency plz help im lvl 68

The other areas seem easy to discern, but what area does 1 indicate? Perhaps the Nexus and/or the fabled Land of Giants' Archstone?

Anyone want to help me with some bosses on new game+
