The Demon's Souls Exclusive Guide

Premise

If you have opened this guide you will have already understood it, Demon's Souls is a decidedly difficult game, with complicated and dark mechanics, sometimes frustrating, but at the same time also satisfying and damn fun.
The task of this guide is precisely to prepare you for the journey you are about to embark on, a journey made up of heroes, friends and enemies, apparently insurmountable obstacles, in short, a journey through the ancient kingdom of northern Boletaria.

The character

Here we are finally at the favorite part of every lover of the RPG genre: the creation of the character.
After taking care of the appearance of our "avatar" we will have to decide the class and it is here that Demon's Souls begins to distinguish itself from the classic games of the genre; the class that we will initially choose will only affect the first hours of the game, in fact we will have no limit in the expenditure of soul points (which represent the classic experience points) and we will be able to have access to all skills, this allows you to develop practically all sorts of characters and as the levels progress you will be able to make use of any weapon and any magic.
But let's get to the characteristics of our character:

• Vitality: increases hit points and the maximum weight you can carry in your inventory.

• Intelligence: increases magic points and slots for storing spells.

• Resistance- Increases Stamina, Maximum Equipment Weight, Fire Resistance, Poison Resistance, and Bleeding Resistance.

• Force: increases the physical damage dealt.

• Dexterity: Increases physical damage dealt and decreases damage from falls.

• Magic: increases the damage caused by spells.

• Fede: increases the effect of miracles, the slots for storing miracles and increases the magical defense.

• Fortuna: Increases the chance that enemies will drop better items when killed and increases resistance to disease.

The characteristics of strength, dexterity, magic and faith are also necessary in order to equip certain weapons and armor, the required value of one or more of these characteristics is indicated in the description of the object.

The classes

As previously mentioned, in Demon's Souls we have no limits in the development of our character, the skills are all accessible, the same goes for the weapons, at very high levels we can use very powerful spells and slash worthy of the best warrior. Consequently, the choice of class will significantly affect only the first few hours of the game.
Each class starts with different characteristics, equipment and skills.

• Cavaliere: Vit 10, Int 11, Res 11, For 14, Des 10, Mag 10, Fed 11, Fortuna 7.

The knight is a great class if you decide to play the typical hand-to-hand character; he will start the game with heavy armor, two types of weapons and a shield.

• Priest: Vit 13, Int 11, Res 12, For 13, Des 8, Mag 8, Fed 13, Fortuna 8.

The priest is a good class if we decide to immediately rely on miracles such as healing, moreover he starts with good armor, a club and a shield.

• Thief: Vit 10, Int 13, Res 10, For 9, Des 14, Mag 10, Fed 8, Fortuna 15.

The thief is one of the hardest classes to start the game with, he only has a knife as a weapon (so very low damage) and a bow whose arrows will run out soon, great if we want to set our game on hit and run strategy, thanks in light armor you will have a minimum of protection and will still be very fast. Moreover, thanks to his high luck it will be very easy for the enemies once killed to leave objects of great value.

• Mago: Vit 9, Int 15, Res 10, For 9, Des 11, Mag 15, Fed 6, Fortuna 11.

The magician is the right class if we want to immediately set our style of play on spells, in fact you will immediately know a fire spell and a protection spell, but keep in mind that in the very first levels of the game the enemies will not leave potions to recover the magic points, but being also equipped with a sword and shield we could alternate the melee with some devastating magic.

• Knight of the temple: Vit 11, Int 8, Res 13, For 14, Des 12, Mag 6, Fed 13, Fortuna 7.

The Knight of the Temple is another great choice for a melee character, equipped with an excellent heavy armor and a weapon with a great range, unlike the Knight, moreover, we will start with the miracle of healing.

• Soldier: Vit 14, Int 9, Res 12, For 12, Des 11, Mag 8, Fed 10, Fortuna 10.

Soldier is the third best choice for a melee character, great armor right out of the box and great weapons including a long-range spear that will keep your enemies away.

• Traveler: Vit 10, Int 10, Res 11, For 11, Des 15, Mag 9, Fed 7, Fortuna 13.

The traveler, like the thief, is a great character if we want to opt for speed, but unlike the latter, he starts with slightly better armor and a sword.

• Barbarian: Vit 15, Int 7, Res 13, For 15, Des 9, Mag 11, Fed 8, Fortuna 11.

The barbarian is the character who starts with the highest vitality and strength, immediately you will kill most of the enemies with a few hits (sometimes even just one), but you will leave without armor.

• Noble: Vit 8, Int 12, Res 8, For 9, Des 12, Mag 13, Fed 12, Fortuna 7.

The noble is a very fast class thanks to the rapier and immediately makes use of excellent remote magic (much more powerful than the spells supplied to the magician), moreover he is the only character who starts with a rare ring that will make you slowly recover the magic points.

• Cacciatore: Vit 12, Int 10, Res 13, For 11, Des 12, Mag 8, Fed 8, Fortuna 12.

The hunter is the ideal character for those who love the use of bows, in fact we will start with a good bow to weaken the enemies, and then finish them with a mighty ax always supplied, also good leather armor.

Now, it is always difficult to establish which is the ideal character for our game needs, what I can suggest is to try the first level (Palazzo di Boletaria) with different characters, perhaps very different from each other (example: Noble and Knight ) and then decide which style of play we want to adopt. Demon's Souls can be decidedly frustrating in some situations, especially when you are not yet an expert, so it is essential to understand what our style of play is, start with a wizard and then realize after tens of hours of gameplay that we have instead developed practically only. the body-to-body characteristics, may not be pleasant.
However whatever your class, remember to spend the soul points very wisely, you can go back, but not in an easy and painless way and to do so you will have to waste a lot of time, but how to do it I will explain it to you in another moment.

Resistances and negative statuses

Your character has different resistance values ​​that can be raised by increasing the statistics and equipping different weapons and armor, the value of the specific resistance bonus is indicated in the description of the object.
The resistances are:

• Physics: in turn divided into normal damage (swords), impact (hammers), slash (katane) and piercing (stalks).

• Magica: indicates the ability to take less damage from enemy spells.

• Fire: indicates the ability to take less damage from fire-based attacks.

• Bleeding- Indicates the ability to take less damage once we start bleeding from a slash-type attack.

• Poison: indicates the ability to take less damage once we have been poisoned.

• Disease: indicates the ability to suffer less damage from the disease.

Negative Status
Negative statuses are effects that you will receive following a certain attack and are:

• Bleeding: negative status inflicted by slash-type attacks, you will start to receive bleed-type damage every second, plus you will receive a penalty to the effect of healing items such as herbs.

• Illnesspestilence: negative status inflicted by the Death Cloud spell and some weapons, you will begin to receive disease-type damage every second, plus you will receive a penalty to the effect of healing items such as herbs.

• Poison: negative status inflicted by the Posion Cloud spell and some weapons, you will start receiving poison damage every second, plus you will receive a penalty to the effect of healing items such as herbs.

Negative statuses can be cured with lotuses (consumable objects) and with certain miracles, but each status has its own duration, after which the effect disappears.

Weapon damage bonus

Each weapon has some bonus values ​​given by the statistics; these bonuses range from a maximum of S to a minimum of D, where no stat bonus is applied instead we will have no value.
The stats that give bonus damage are: Strength, Dexterity, Magic, and Faith.
Let's take the butcher's sword as an example: the bonuses given by the statistics are the following: For S, Des S, Mag D, Fed A, this means that we will get the maximum bonus from the strength and dexterity statistics, no bonus from the magic value and a great bonus from faith. Checking the bonuses is a great way to choose your melee weapon.
However, there are weapons that are an exception to this rule and get bonus damage from other factors, for example the northern sign, gets a significant bonus depending on the tendency of our character.

Shield protection stats

Each shield, once raised to guard position, has defense stats:

• Harm reduction: the shield grants three different types of protection, physical (to melee damage), magical (to magical damage) and fire (to fire damage); the higher the value in these protections and the less stamina will be lost in parry, if instead the protection is too low, in addition to losing stamina you will also lose hit points.

• Guard break reduction: The higher this stat, the more difficult it will be for our parry to be broken by very powerful attacks.

Durability of weapons and armor

Each weapon and piece of armor has a durability value; receiving hits or using a weapon often this value will decrease, once the weapon is reached zero or the piece of armor will break making the latter less effective.
To repair equipment, just visit one of the game's blacksmiths, but the more deteriorated an item is, the higher the soul point cost to repair it.

The equipment

The slots to equip our character are different and can be divided into the following categories:

• Armor: four slots, divided into helmet, body, gloves and legs.

• Weapons: four slots, two for the main hand and two for the secondary hand.

• Quiver: you will have two slots to equip arrows or darts.

• Rings: two slots to be able to equip two rings that must necessarily be different.

• Consumables: five slots to equip items such as herbs, magic potions and various stones.

Weight of active and passive objects

The weight of active objects is the maximum weight of objects that we can equip (weapons, armor), exceeding this value we will practically no longer be able to move, if instead we can keep the weight below half the maximum value we will be more agile and faster .
To increase the weight of the active objects we have to raise the resistance value. Equipped consumables do not count towards the weight of active items.

Weight of passive objects

The weight of passive objects is the value that indicates how many objects we can carry in our inventory, once we have reached the maximum transportable weight we will no longer be able to collect the objects.

The game interface

The game interface is simple and minimally invasive; in the upper left we have three bars, the red indicates our hit points, the blue indicates the magic points and the green our stamina. To the left of the bars we have a sort of circle with a sort of eye in the center, this strange symbol represents the tendency of our character; it is difficult to interpret, as the difference in colors is very small, the best way to know if we are completely white or black is to equip a weapon that receives damage bonuses depending on our tendency. At the top right instead we find a symbol identical to that of the tendency of the character, but much larger, this is the symbol of the tendency of the world in which we find ourselves, here too the same discourse of the tendency of the character applies, the best way to understand whether the world is black or white is to see if the various events given by the trend have been unlocked.
At the bottom right instead we will have the number of soul points that we have collected up to that moment and have not yet been spent.
At the bottom left we have four boxes arranged in a cross, the one on the right indicates what we are using in the main hand, the one on the left what we are using in the secondary hand, the one at the top the spell or miracle we have memorized, the one at the bottom instead the object we can use.

World trend

Each world has its own tendency which can vary from pure black to pure white depending on your actions; With the different trends you can unlock various events, such as the appearance of a special character or the presence of Black Specters.

• Pure white trend: Enemies will do less damage, but drop fewer soul points when killed, leave fewer stones for weapon upgrades, but more healing items. Special characters will appear.

• Pure black trend: Enemies do more damage, have more hit points, but once killed they give more soul points and increase the chance that they will drop rare items. Enemies will appear in the form of Black Ghost and in some locations the Black Ghosts of the various special characters in the game.
The primeval demons will appear.
The hit point ceiling in spirit form decreases. To reach the white trend, you just need to kill the bosses and the Black Specters of the special characters, to reach the black trend instead you will have to die several times in that particular world in the form of a body, or you can kill the various special characters.
The events of the world trend will be described later.

Character trend

Depending on the character's tendency we will have different effects, some direct on the character himself and some instead in the form of events within the Nexus. With pure white trend the monumental will give us the friend's ring, moreover our attack will be increased in spirit form.
With pure black tendency, once you kill Yurth in world 3-2, Mefistofeles will appear in the Nexus, in addition we will have fewer hit points in spirit form.
To reach the white trend, it will be enough for us to kill the players who invade us, to kill the black ghosts of the special characters.
To reach the black trend, we can invade a world and kill the player, we can kill the various merchants and special characters within the game.

Play online

Online gaming is one of the core components of Demon's Souls; you are not in any way obligated to play online, but it is advisable to do so to make the gaming experience unique and much more enjoyable.

• Red messages: the red messages are warnings that any player can leave along the various levels; these messages act as warnings, such as traps or the proximity of very difficult enemies, you can leave yourself red messages. To know if a message is valid or not, there is a scoring system, so you can always be sure of its validity.

• Summon other players or be invaded: in body form we can summon other players to help us, you can summon up to two players who will appear in your world in the form of a blue spectrum; to be able to summon you just need to press the X button on the blue stone left on the ground by the player himself, before summoning you can check the various evaluations received by the player.
To be able to be summoned instead you just need to enter a level in spirit form and use your blue stone, perhaps in a fairly visible point, by killing the end-level boss you will come back to life and you will receive soul points based on the evaluation you will receive.
At the same time, however, you can also be invaded, when a player invades you you will receive a message at the bottom of the screen, the invader will appear at the beginning of the level, in the form of a red spectrum and will in effect be your enemy, if you kill the Black Ghost you will receive (in addition to glory) several soul points.
To invade a world in turn, you will have to enter a level in the form of a ghost and use the black-eyed stone, if you succeed in the task of killing the player you invaded you will come back to life and if in the meantime you have killed some blue ghost as well you will receive too many soul points.
If you love duels you can use the red-eyed stone, similarly to the blue-eyed stone, you will leave a red message, any player can at that point summon you in his world as a red spectrum, if you come out victorious in the duel you will get the necessary soul points to be able to increase a characteristic, if you are defeated you will lose a level.

• Evaluation of the players: at the end of each game session together with some other player, you will be asked to rate him, the votes range from a maximum of S to a minimum of D, the same thing he will have to do towards you. The votes have the function of indicating the actual skill of a player when you decide to summon him by pressing on his blue stone. Furthermore, after defeating a boss, the vote you give yourself will also affect the distribution of the soul points, depending on the vote you both give each other the soul points will be more or less numerous, for example if you both give each other S the points distributed will be the maximum. .

Second episode

Welcome back to the official Spanish guide of Demon's Souls, in this episode we will deal with everything related to the objects of the game, from consumables to equipment, plus we will analyze every single spell and miracle, good reading.

Weapons

There are different types of weapon, each type must be known how to use; depending on the character we have decided to play we could find ourselves better with a good impact weapon with considerable damage, but with absurd slowness, or with a good Katana with little damage, but with an incredible speed with which we can displace our opponents for then hit them from behind with a lethal attack.
As we said in the previous episode, each weapon may or may not have bonuses given by the characteristics, it is important to evaluate these bonuses in order to maximize the damage, moreover many of these weapons also require the characteristics necessary to be equipped, apart from strength. , the lack of which can be remedied by holding the weapon with two hands, all the other characteristics are essential to be able to use the weapon to the fullest; take a good look then before throwing yourself on a weapon that meets your tastes, wasting hours and hours to take a fantastic sword and then realizing that it will take as many hours to reach the necessary characteristics is not a good thing.
The following tables are divided into seven columns, name, damage and type, duration of the weapon before breaking, weight, required stats and stat damage bonus, location where the weapon can be obtained and special notes.

Spade third

Wide swords

Knives

Very large swords

Piercing swords

Asian swords

Spears and rods

Axes

From impact and punches

Bows and crossbows

For bows and crossbows I add the range column, i.e. the distance from which you can hit your target.

Arrows and darts

Arrows and darts are the ammunition for your bows and crossbows, they must be equipped in the appropriate slots of the character's equipment, each of them has three types of physical, magical and fire damage.

Arrows:

Dardi:

Catalysts and talismans

In the table of catalysts, instead we will add two columns, that of the magic adjustment (MAG.) And the miracle adjustment (MIR.), Both of these values ​​have an effect on the effective power of a spell or a miracle cast, whether it is damage or treatment.

Shields

The shields table, on the other hand, has two different columns, the first is that of damage reduction (RID.), The damage is physical, magical, and from fire, the second is that of the reduction of the possibility that they will break your guard following of the hits received (WATCH), also the shields have no bonus related to the characteristics.

Weapon and Shield Improvements

Almost any weapon can be improved by consuming special consumables, such as hard stones and blade stones, each of these stones can be found or purchased in the form of a splinter, piece, or pure. The list of consumables needed to upgrade the weapon will be provided by the blacksmith (Ed or Boldwin).

• Hard Rock: base upgrade for weapons and shields.
• Sharp stone: base upgrade for weapons and shields.
• Pietrachiara: Increases the damage bonus of the Strength and Dexterity characteristics.
• Greystone: Increases the damage bonus of the Strength characteristic and eliminates the Dexterity bonus.

• Pietradrago: Adds fire-type damage and eliminates any stat bonuses.
• Pietrardente: Adds bleed-type damage, increases Dexterity characteristic bonus, lowers Strength bonus.
• Pietramercurio: adds the possibility of poisoning the enemy.
• Pebble stone: Increases critical damage by rear hit, decreases base damage.

• Colorless demon soul: consumable used to upgrade unique equipment.

The souls of the colorless demon can only be found in certain events and only 10 can be acquired per game, 2 with the missions of Mephistofeles, 2 by exchanging a talisman of the god and a golden mask with the raven on the tree in world 4 -1 and the rest by killing primordial demons that appear in all pure black-leaning worlds.

Armor set

There are different sets of armor, each armor providing physical resistance (normal, impact, slash and piercing) from magic, fire, bleed, poison and disease. Every single piece of every single set can be mixed, remember that it is important to keep the weight under 50% of the maximum weight of the active objects, so mixing the various pieces of the set, in addition to being an interesting aesthetic choice, allows you to travel more light, and to have different resistances. Not all armor sets can be worn by both genders.

Unisex:

Only men:

Only women:

Rings

There are several rings in the game, each one has its own special effect, two rings of the same type cannot be equipped at the same time.

Boss souls

Each time you kill a boss at the end of the level, by touching the archstone that appears you will receive the soul of the demon you just beat; with souls you can do various things, if used they earn a good number of soul points, they can be used to forge unique weapons (as long as you also have the materials) and to learn spells and miracles.

Spells

Spells are direct damage spells and some of protection, they can be learned from Freke's disciple, from Yuria the witch and from Freke the sage, each spell needs a variable number of memory slots to be used, the characteristic of intelligence increases slots, while magic increases damage, you need a catalyst or a beast talisman to cast miracles.

Miracles

Miracles are generally healing and enhancement spells, as spells need memory slots, to increase these slots you need to raise the faith characteristic; miracles also consume MP, to cast them you will need the talisman of the god or the talisman of the beast.

Consumables

Consumables are special items that can be used at any time in the game; the effects of these items can range from healing HP, to immediate return to the nexus with all soul points.

Special items

There are some special items in the game that can be traded with various characters or have a particular use.

Stones of the eyes

These special stones have a very important use for online play, they can always be used and are never consumed.

Third episode

Welcome back to the guide of Demon's Souls, as I promised you in this episode we will analyze the first two levels of the game; the guide will be as generic as possible, so you will be able to follow it with any type of character.
At the beginning of each level guide, I will describe the events given by the world trend.
You are not obliged to follow the levels in order, in this guide I will describe them in order only for convenience, feel free to tackle the levels as you like, perhaps giving precedence to those you think are easier.
This solution is obviously designed for single player play, always keep in mind that at any time (as long as you are in body form) you can summon other players using the blue signals that are usually left at the beginning of a level or before of a boss, the game played in co-op is much easier and more fun, so don't get down on yourself if you can't pass a certain level or a certain boss, ask your friends for help, or rely on some other unknown player; remember that Demon's Souls is a game with a very important and well-built online component, so why not take advantage of it?

Level of introduction

Here we are, we have just passed through the strange fog that surrounds the kingdom of Boletaria.
The very first level you will have to deal with will be an introductory level, the various red messages on the ground will explain the game controls.
There isn't a whole lot to explain in this level, just work your way up to the Vanguard encounter.

Boss Vanguard

A sort of giant winged monster with a very disreputable snout will appear in front of us, armed with a huge sword, I must tell you right away, the purpose of this meeting is for you to die, but there is a method to defeat Vanguard, if you beat it and you will immediately get a gray demon soul, which when consumed will give you 1500 soul points, a really big number for the start of the game.
However, if you decide to kill him, get ready to sweat the proverbial seven shirts, first of all undress until the weight of the active objects is below half the maximum total, run towards Vanguard, as soon as you are almost on him wait for the exact moment in which he raises the 'weapon and immediately roll him behind his shoulders, start hitting him with the weapon from hand to hand in the back, almost immediately he will turn towards you, and as soon as he raises the weapon and is about to vibrate, roll back to him again; every now and then he will take off for a few seconds and then fall back to the ground with a devastating shock wave. It is very important to get away quickly and take a great distance as soon as you see it rising from the ground. Repeat these steps until Vanguard is defeated. You will not have another chance to face this boss (excluding the one in 4-1), but if you die don't get too much trouble, 1500 soul points are convenient at the beginning, but they are not essential.

Nexus

At this point we will find ourselves in the Nexus, look at the cut-scene. The Nexus is the place from which you can access the various levels, here will be the girl in black from which you can spend the soul points to level up (but only after beating the first boss Falange), Thomas who will keep you all the objects in addition, the blacksmith Boldwin who will improve your normal weapons and repair your equipment, and on the right side Freke's apprentice who will teach you the first basic spells, and on the left side the disciple of God who will teach you the first miracles . Now approach the Little King's Archstone and tap it to enter the first level.

Boletaria Palace

Events with a pure white trend:
The gate that you can find going down the stairs to the left of the start of the level will be open, in the garden behind the gate you will face some black ghosts of Dregling, entering the tower on the left you will meet Miralda the Executioner, kill her to get the set of the tied armor and the master's ring. Killing her will bring the world trend to neutral, but the character's trend will remain unchanged.
Going down the stairs attached to the wall you will reach a corpse from which you can collect the entire set of wooden armor. Jumping on the rafters being very careful not to fall, you can find a colorless demon soul on a corpse. Also the dragons will no longer be present, this allows you to access their nest in the first level.

Events with pure black trend:
The gate that you can find going down the stairs to the left of the start of the level will be open, in the garden behind the gate you will face some black ghosts of Dregling, entering the tower on the left you will meet the black specter of Miralda the Executioner, kill her to get the ax of the executioner. By killing it, the character's bias will shift to white, and the world bias will return to neutral.
Black ghosts will appear after the red-eyed knight in level 1.
Black ghosts will appear in front of the mist portal for the boss in level 2.
Black ghosts of fat officers will appear, after the small passage where the red-eyed knight is, and in the square below the primordial demon will appear.

Boletaria Palace - Level 1

To welcome you to the first real level of the game, there will be a nice cut-scene of the red dragon eating some corpses. In front of you you will have a long path that leads to a huge gate, which will be closed at this moment, on the path you will be attacked by some Dreglings, they are not too difficult enemies but be careful not to get surrounded, they know how to be very fast. The best way to kill them is to hit them before they can attack you, or give them a good blow while they're jumping on you.
Reached the huge gate, go up the stairs on your left, turn left again, here you will have to face two more Dreglings, pay attention to the open chasm on the left of the square, if you fall into it you will die, on a platform on your right there will be a soldier with a crossbow, watch out for his darts. As soon as you have killed the two enemies, run up the ramp and kill the soldier too, enter the door in front of you, immediately turn right and kill the Dregling before he can attack you from behind. Go to the other door in front of you, another enemy will come out almost immediately, cross the passage enter the next room, kill the umpteenth enemy and exit the room, go up the stairs go straight and turn left, waiting for you in front of the first portal of fog there will be two soldiers armed with swords and shields, keep them at a distance and as soon as they strike them hit them.
Go through the portal of fog, turn right and go up the flight of stairs, right at the end of the stairs there will be a soldier who will throw a fire bomb at you as soon as he sees you, let yourself be seen and wait for him to throw the bomb, hit him immediately after, go up the other stairs, as soon as you arrive on the ramp you will be attacked by a Dregling with a firearm, avoid his shots and as soon as he stops kill him, go up the stairs again, waiting on the ramp there will be another soldier with a sword and shield, continue to the next stairs, do not run up them, as a fire bomb will be thrown at you from above, wait for the bomb to be thrown and then run up the stairs, you will meet two more Dreglings equipped with firearms, try to kill the first one before the other reaches you, go on and go out the door on your left, on the ramps another Dregling will attack you, kill him being careful not to fall below, when you reach the upper door pay attention ion the soldier, kill him and watch out for the enemy behind him who will throw a fire bomb at you almost immediately. At this point, take a good look at the stairs that go up to the upper level, you will notice that at the end of the stairs there is a huge metal sphere, slowly go up the stairs and as soon as you see that it is thrown at you avoid it, go back downstairs , and look where the huge metal sphere has stopped, you can now access a section under the stairs where you can pick up a bastard sword from a corpse.
Go back upstairs, eliminate the soldier who threw the sphere at you, at this point if you turn behind you, you will face a soldier with a crossbow and immediately after a soldier with a spear and another soldier with a crossbow, if you enter the portal immediately after you you will find on the wall of the castle, after all the red-eyed knight will be waiting for you, don't even dream of facing him, it's too early. Retrace your steps, continue after the stairs from which the ball was thrown at you, face the blue eyes knight, wait for the blow to vibrate and stop for a few moments and attack him, if you are not fast enough he will heal.
Do not immediately enter the portal of fog on your left, go straight instead, and enter the door in front of you, going down the stairs you will immediately notice two Dreglings with firearms, do not attack them but wait for them to explode the two barrels, they will die alone.

Boss Falso Re

Check out the impressive cut-scene and squeeze the pad tightly. It is essential for this boss that the weight of the active objects is not more than half of the total, you must be as agile as possible.

The False King has 6 main attacks:
• Triple hit, it is three consecutive sword slashes, as long as you manage to dodge the first one and distance yourself.
• Slash plus ranged attack, it is a splinter that releases a kind of energy wave capable of inflicting damage even at a distance, dodge the wave to avoid damage.
• Leap with slash, the False King will leap towards you hitting the ground and releasing a wave that can hit you from a distance, discard the blow as soon as the boss makes the leap.
• Magical explosion, it is a magical explosion with a very large area of ​​effect that if it hits it jumps to the ground, to avoid it or hit the boss as soon as he raises the sword to charge the energy, or if you don't make it in time get away as much as possible, turn to him and get into parrying position with the shield.
• Charge, this is an almost inevitable shot, if you are at a good distance from the box he will make a charge with a final shot, the best way to avoid the shot is to discard at the last minute, or to hide under the stairs at the beginning of the room.
• It sucks soul, this is the most lethal and terrifying blow of the entire game, if you are hit by this attack you will not only lose most of your life, but you will also lose a soul level, considering that the False King makes this attack very often, you could find yourself at the end of the fight even with 10 levels less, to avoid this attack you must always retreat every 3 or 4 hits inflicted, and as soon as the boss raises his hand and a white light appears from it, discard back as quickly as possible.

There is no exact strategy to beat this boss, of course spells such as fire burst can do a lot of damage, and using the soul beam at a distance can be a safer method, the important thing however is that you avoid his attacks, and take advantage of the moment when it is charging the magical explosion to get away and heal you.
As I said at the beginning it would be good to have two other players summoned as blue ghosts with you to help you out.
Once this boss is beaten, touch the rockstone and you will receive the False King's soul.

Open the gate on the opposite side of the corridor, go down the stairs and through the mist portal.

Latria Tower - Level 2

Go down the stairs, reach the brazier and go down the stairs on the right, continue up to the tower, kill the Gargoyle that will fall in front of you, go through the archway and turn left, go up the stairs and continue up the ramp to the bridge on the left. After the first steps another gargoyle will fall in front of you, kill it and do the same with the gargoyle armed with a crossbow, continue to the next tower, you will be attacked by another gargoyle, enter the fog portal and turn right. Go up the stairs and as soon as you reach the ramp continue slowly so as not to fall into the hole, wait for the elevator and go up.
Keep going up the stairs, kill yet another gargoyle, at the end of the stairs also kill the prisoners who are praying to break the first chain. Go down the stairs on the left, as soon as you reach the brazier turn right and look at the light signals, look down to fall on the bridge below, continue and open the cage of Yurth the silent leader, wait for him to come out and enter the cage itself to go down to the swamp. As soon as you come out of the cage, turn left to find the ladder to climb the fences, kill the centipede man and make your way up to the rock face, go up the path and turn left to climb the next fence.
Follow the fence to the end and turn left, reach the staircase on the left and go up. You'll find yourself on a cliff full of monsters, kill them and turn left again to reach the mist portal. Pass the portal, and continue to reach the base of a staircase, climb slowly, on this staircase there is a black ghost of mind flayers, even more terrifying than normal mind flayers, maybe try to get behind him. At the end of the staircase turn right and pass under the two tentacles, kill the enemies and turn right to access another bridge. You'll be attacked first by a crossbow gargoyle on your right, and then a sword gargoyle coming down the column. Continue up to the tower, turn right and move slowly to avoid falling into the hole.
Wait for the elevator, go up and continue up the stairs, being careful of the attack of the gargoyles. Kill the praying prisoners here too and break the second chain, enjoy the cut scene. Continue on the bridge on the left, when you reach the end, throw yourself down on the platform below, continue and you will find yourself at the first brazier of the level.
Go down the ladder again, now you will also find some centipede man waiting for you, cross the arched passage, turn left up the stairs, but this time instead of turning on the bridge to the left, go straight. Go up the stairs slowly, being careful of the mind flayer's black ghost. Reached the end of the ladder continue to the portal of fog on the left, enter to face one of the most difficult bosses of the entire game, even here it would be advisable to help some other player.

Boss Mangiauomini

Past the fog portal you will find yourself on another bridge, the first man eater will meet you, attack him always being careful not to have your back towards the abyss, many of this boss's attacks will throw you back. As soon as the man eater takes off, take the opportunity to heal yourself, at this point the boss could stay in the air using magic attacks, avoid them, especially the energy boost, when he returns to the ground attack him. Every now and then the boss will emit yellow flames from his mouth and kneel on the ground, this is a good time to unleash your attacks.
When the first man eater is at 20% energy, a second man eater will also appear, try to eliminate the first as soon as possible, and only dedicate yourself to the second afterwards. If you are a character who uses magic, the best technique is to wait for the boss to emit the yellow flames and kneel on the ground, at which point you launch burst of fire and you should kill him with one shot. Killed the two man eaters go to the end of the bridge to find the archstone.

Nexus

Climb the stairs behind the archstones of the worlds, to find yourself in a large room, you will have already noticed some suspicious corpse, turn right all the way, and in a corner you will find Yurth the silent leader, kill him immediately, as the real task of Yurth is to kill all the important characters within the Nexus, including Boldwin and company. You can now spend your soul points.
Touch the Queen's Archstone again.

Latria Tower - Level 3

Pass the arched door on the left, go up the stairs and eliminate the first centipede man, continue to face the first black ghost of mind flayer, this time the room for maneuver will be really limited, I suggest you attract the attention of the enemy, to make yourself follow until he no longer sees you, and then hit him from behind.
Keep going up the stairs, at this point a cut scene could start, showing you the yellow monk who possess the soul of a player. Go ahead and also face the last black ghost of mind flayer, go through the portal of fog behind him to face the boss.

Boss Monaco Yellow

The boss of this level is not a real boss in the strict sense of the word, at 99% another player will be summoned who will act as the boss himself, this could be positive in the case of a poor player, but it could prove to be decidedly difficult in the case that a player specializing in PvP is summoned. If you want to try your luck, stay connected online (in case you could even pray via message to the player who invaded you to let you win), otherwise unplug the network cable and instead of the player you will find a sort of puppet character, really easy to beat. In any case, be careful of the luminous spheres that will appear on the enemy's head, in fact these will be thrown at you as soon as you are close enough, they are easy to avoid, but if you are hit you will receive high damage.
The nice thing about the Yellow Monk is that you can become the boss yourself, in fact you just have to place any summoning stone inside the world, and you could be summoned as the final boss, if you manage to kill the player on duty you will receive the turban of the Yellow Monk, a very powerful headgear for characters who use magic, this special helmet will increase your magic attack by 30% but decrease your magic defense by 40%. What is certain is that once worn you could turn up your nose in front of its bizarre and bulky skin, moreover any player who sees you will know for sure that you are characters who make extensive use of magic, you decide if the game is worth the candle.

Go through the portal of fog to find yourself in a square with a Vanguard, at this point you can decide to also face this mini boss, which will leave a soul of the gray demon, but this boss is totally optional, you decide if you feel able to face the battle. As soon as you pass the fog portal, immediately turn left, walk through the passage with the shield in parade position, to protect yourself from the darts that will be fired as soon as you pass on the trap plate, exiting the passage go up the stairs to the left, you will find yourself above the walls, kill the skeleton with sword and the two archers, continue on the walls and go down the stairs, pay attention to the trap plate, collect the keys.

Go up the stairs to the right, kill the enemy at the end, and exit the passage, follow the path up to a tree, here the crow of world 4 awaits you, with which you can exchange some items for interesting rewards. To get the reward, leave an object in front of the tree and listen to how the crow responds, then reload the game and to the right of the tree you will find your reward, each of these exchanges can be made only once per game, below trade list:

Go back and take the other corridor in front of you, hit the wall again to exit a hole in a garden just behind the Vanguard.
From now on you will have to watch out for the quills that will be shot at you by the flying mantas, the arrival of one or more of these quills will be foretold by a sound. Enter the portal of fog, go up the stairs to your left, face the skeleton with sword and then the one with crossbow, enter the ruin on the left, face the black skeleton with double katana, the best strategy is to approach slowly and wait for it to start with the double blow, dodge him and deal a blow to his back, behind him you will find the referee's shield. Turn behind the ruin, advance slowly, as soon as you hear the sound of the trap turn with the shield in parry position to parry the darts.
Continue and go down the path that runs along the abyss, advance always paying attention to the spikes, now you will face the first golden skeleton, dodge its slow attacks and always keep a certain distance before striking. Advance and face two more golden skeletons, at the end of the narrow passage you will find a portal of fog pass through it and turn left, advance to the end and take the passage to the right, as soon as you enter you will activate a trap, raise the shield in parade position. Go down the slope to your right, and face another black skeleton with a double katana. Enter the fog portal to face the boss.

Boss Referee

Go downstairs being careful not to be hit by the Referee's tongue. The boss will have a blade stuck in his stomach, that is his only weak point, hit him right on the wound until the Referee makes a screeching sound, immediately run behind him to avoid the blow, return to hit the wound up to that the boss will not fall, at this point hit the bird on his head (I know this boss is really bizarre), repeat the procedure until the Referee is also history.

Just below, talk to Saint Urbain, kill the black ghost, open the door and go back to talk to Saint Urbain to free him.

Fifth episode

Welcome back to our Demon's Souls Exclusive Guide; in this last installment I will teach you how to become a real master in this game, also I will add my little personal guide that will make the game less difficult than it seems.

Play online

The online mode of this game is the element that makes Demon's Souls a real masterpiece, not only will we be able to tackle many of the levels together with other players (more or less good), but we can also engage in real duels to the death, we are talking about the classic PvP (player vs player) that is so loved by the communities of numerous online games, including this one.
The ways to do PvP are numerous and now we will analyze them one by one.

Premise

It is essential when deciding to PvP that the active weight of your equipment does not exceed 50% of the total, so look for a good compromise between protection, weight and aesthetics.

To invade

To invade we must be in ghost form, as soon as we enter a level we can use the black-eyed stone, at this point the server will look for a game (or world) created by a player with a similar level to ours.
If the invasion is successful, we will immediately enter the same level, but of another player in the form of black ghosts, we will be surrounded by a red light.
At this point we just have to look for the host (ie the player to whom the game belongs) and kill him.
But beware, the host will be in body shape and therefore will have much more HP than us, moreover he is often accompanied by some other player in the form of a blue spectrum (therefore with reduced HP); this makes the challenge very attractive, but at the same time very difficult ... believe me, coming out of a challenge like this is definitely satisfying.
If you do not have a particular strategy in mind, you can take advantage of the fact that the various enemies of the level will not attack you, if you see it bad you can throw yourself into the arms of some nice enemy, perhaps by being chased by the host, your new companions will be happy to give you a hand. But let's say that this practice is not exactly the best of fair play, so if you are a spotless player, avoid this strategy.
An excellent method to emerge victorious from the invasion, is to take advantage of the Hyper Mode (strategy that I will explain later), it will be more risky but you can also kill two enemies with a single blow. Obviously killing the host and his companions will shift your character's tendency towards black.

Use the red-eyed stone

Using the red-eyed stone, you will leave a red signal, with this signal other players will be able to summon you in the form of black ghosts.
It is usually used to quickly search for a challenge, and 99% of the time the summoner is looking for a clean challenge.
The only dilemma is that whoever summons you will be in body form, so you will start with a considerable disadvantage, also whoever is defeated will lose a soul level, while the winner will receive the exact amount of soul points to reach the next level.
As I said above, those who summon are people who love duels, so be prepared to face someone very prepared, it is important that before launching challenges with the red-eyed stone you are trained enough.
The duel generally begins when both of you have launched their respective buffs, have their MPs recharged, at this point perform a bow and wait for your opponent to perform one as well. Starting early, or by surprise, is considered very unfair, and using too many healing herbs is also not considered very clean and people may get annoyed in the long run, so try to limit the use of healing items just when absolutely necessary.

Being invaded

There are two levels in this game that the community considers as real arenas, these levels are 1-4 and 4-1.
It is very easy to be invaded in this level, you will have noticed it when trying to complete these levels.
However, if you like to be challenged (and maybe even have the advantage of being in body form) just leave these two levels incomplete (so that people can invade you), enter the level and wait for someone to invade you, sometime ( especially in 4-1) you will also find red signals from other players.
If you are about to be invaded in 1-4, the fog will appear on the entrance portal, however if you are about to be invaded in 4-1, touching the rockstone at the beginning will tell you that you cannot leave the level.
However, wait for your opponent right in front of the entrance to the level, as soon as you are invaded you will immediately notice if the player you are in front of is someone who wants to PvP, or is one who just wants to invade.
If your opponent doesn't charge you right away, bow down and wait for him to do the same to you. As a rule, the same fair play rules as described above apply.

Hyper Fashion

If you decide that PvP is for you, it is vital that you learn what Hyper Mode is.
With Hyper Mode you can kill an enemy with a single blow, but it's not as simple as it seems, you will need to get to 30% of your HP.
However, you have to get the Smart Rat Ring and the Stupid Rat Ring, both of which activate when your HP is at 30% of the total, the former will increase 50% of your damage and I mean any damage that is of a spell or a sword or arrow strike, the latter will increase your defenses (all of them) significantly.
You will also have to wear the Morion Sword as a secondary weapon, a sword useless as a weapon in itself, but very useful for its effect, in fact it works exactly like the ring of the intelligent rat, so at 30% of your HP you will have an additional 50% damage. .
With these 3 things, at 30% of your HP, you will activate the dreaded Hyper Mode, the figure of a rat will appear under the energy bar and you will emanate an aura of light (so be careful who gives off the same aura).
With a single slash in this mode, you will eliminate any opponent (two slashes in case our opponent used the second chance miracle).
It's really funny to see players gassed that they're about to kill you, die from a single slash or spell of yours (or "oneshottati" to use an online gaming term). So whatever your character type, Hyper Mode is key.

Builds for the characters

The maximum level of this game is 712, at this level your character will be everything, warrior and wizard, you can use every single weapon and armor.
It is common use of the most fierce online community, to stop between level 120 and level 130, it is in these levels that we will have a greater difference in characters, here we will have the pure wizard, or the heavy warrior, or perhaps the warrior a little bit finer.
Let's say that we can almost talk about real classes (not to be confused with the initial classes) each of these with its strengths and weaknesses, these sorts of classes are called Build by the players.
Below I will analyze with you the most used builds.

Vitality + Insigne of the North

This is currently my build, it allows you to save a lot of points in characteristics, thanks to the fact that the Insigne Del Nord takes the tendency of your character as a bonus for damage, allowing you as soon as you have met the requirements for this weapon, to spend yours on the Vitality feature.
The only flaw is that you will have to keep your trend always either pure white or pure black, at these levels however you will have the highest damage, no other weapon will reach as high as the Insigne Del Nord (1292 in Hyper Mode) without the 'aid of charms, you will also definitely have a lot of PF.
If you decide to use this build, it is advisable to bring along a splinter of archstone in the fight with the final boss (King Allant); just killed, pick up the Soulbrandt, use the Archstone Splinter and go to the ED blacksmith in world 2 with the Demonbrandt, the Soulbrandt and the soul of the false king.
Return to the Nexus and tap the rockstone in front of the chasm to return to the final area to end the game.
In this way, starting with the new game already with the Insigne Del Nord, remember also to have the tendency of the pure white or pure black character.

pure magician

This character is perfect for those who love the use of spells and miracles, it allows you to use both to their maximum potential both in normal play and in PvP.
The only flaw is that in close combat you will not do a lot of damage and you will have to learn how to best use the various damage spells. Also, you won't be able to wear very heavy armor.

Blue Blood Swordsman

This is another great hitter.
He uses the Blue Blood Sword as his main weapon along with the magic weapon of light (or a thurpentine or whitish matter).
Not to mention the high luck feature that will allow you to find better items from killed enemies.
The only flaw is that you will not be able to use the guard spell together with a weapon of light, so you will have to be very careful about the hits of the opponents, also you will have to worry about enchanting your weapon every time the effect of the enchantment ends.

Mini guide to make the game easier

If you want to tackle the game in an easier way to be able to dedicate yourself without too much frustration to the growth of your character, here are some steps to take at the beginning of the game; you will suffer a little the first few hours, but then it will be a walk.
In level 1-1, kill Ostrava as soon as you meet him, the best strategy is to slash him behind, make him fall among the enemies, wait for him to kill them all and then finish him with your hands, at this point collect the key of the mausoleum and clear the level.
Go through level 2-2 and kill the Tower Knight boss and keep the iron demon's soul. Go to level 3-1, free the wise Freke, avoid the clash with the black ghost on the staircase leading to the boss and eliminate the False Idol.
Go back to the Nexus, go to the sage Freke and learn the Magic Guard (it is essential to have increased the intelligence characteristic to have two magic slots).
Now using protection magic, enemies will do you much less harm.
Go to level 5-1 and kill the Leech boss and keep the restless demon's soul.
Go back to the Nexus and go to the sage Freke to learn Poison Cloud and equip it (forget protection now).
Go back to level 1-1 and reach the mausoleum (the tower that is before the red-eyed knight), throw poisonous cloud and lure the red-eyed knight into it, keep running away until the knight is not interested in you and he will come back, wait for him to die and open the door of the mausoleum.
Enter, talk to King Doran, throw poisonous cloud at him, he will attack you, run away until he doesn't care about you, go back and keep your distance so that the old king doesn't attack you. As soon as the cloud effect ends, throw it back at him, run away and repeat this procedure until old King Doran is also dead.
Pick up the Demonbrandt behind him, pick up his armor and ring, equip everything.
Bring your features to the bare minimum to be able to use the Demonbrandt. Now try to bring your character's tendency to pure white, to get the maximum bonus from the damage of the Demonbrandt.
Return to the Nexus and memorize the Guard spell again.

Now the game will be much easier, you will do an absurd damage in the melee and thanks to the magic guard you will be practically indestructible.
Now enjoy Demon's Souls without too much frustration and think about how to best grow your character.
