Beginner needing help.

Hello Demon Soul Fans! I recently got the game and lemme say, im enjoying it more than Sekiro already.

Anyway, not the point, the point is I'm running a Dex-Faith build and was wondering if the Scraping Spear was good. I've heard of it, heard it was good in PVP and was wondering how viable in endgame it was.

I'll also take cool Miracles and Dex Weapon suggestions.

Replay questions

Looking to replay Demon’s Souls, but I have a couple of questions:

  1. Are boss weapons and other special weapons actually viable? On my first playthrough, I used the Moonlight Greatsword and had it fully upgraded, but it always felt really weak. I’m wondering if that’s just because the weapon isn’t very good, or if my build wasn’t optimized for it. Since these weapons can only be upgraded a few times, do they end up falling behind regular weapons?

  2. Is it even worth making a dedicated build in this game? I remember hearing that builds aren’t nearly as important in Demon’s Souls as they are in the other Souls games. Should I focus on leveling for a specific build, or is it better to just upgrade a few weapons using whichever damage-type upgrade materials fit them?

Killed monk invader. Died going down

Am trying to not read guides and discover the game as I play. I knew there was a key on top of first tower in latria but needed pure white? To get some planks.

And to get pw i needed to kill bosses so after i kill maneater mindflyer killed me going ivoey tower up.

Then after kill monk mindflyer killed me goimg down.

So i think i went back to neitral as i died 2 times as human...

How can i fix white tendency in latria to get that key?

My take on the aesthetics, art direction, ost, for Original vs Remake. Would love to hear everyone else’s thoughts as well.

I played the original when it first came out and I think both the remake and original are great. When comparing both versions, I think it’s a case-by-case basis on which I like more. My takes on some of them:

Vanguard Demon - Original > Remake

Vanguard Demon OST - Remake > Original

Phalanx - Remake > Original

Phalanx OST - Remake > Original

Tower Knight - Remake > Original

Tower Knight OST - Remake > Original

Penetrator - Original = Remake

Penetrator OST - Remake > Original

False King Alaant - Original > Remake

False King Alaant OST - Original > Remake

Armored Spider - Remake > Original

Armored Spider OST - Original = Remake

Flamelurker - Original = Remake

Flamelurker OST - Original = Remake

Dragon God - Remake > Original

Dragon God OST - Remake > Original

Fool’s Idol - Original > Remake

Fool’s Idol OST - Original > Remake

Maneaters - Original > Remake

Maneaters OST - Original > Remake

Old Monk - Original = Remake

Old Monk OST - Remake > Original

Adjudicator - Original > Remake

Adjudicator OST - Original > Remake

Old Hero - Original > Remake

Old Hero OST - Remake > Original

Storm King - Remake > Original

Leechmonger - Original = Remake

Leechmonger OST - Original = Remake

Dirty Colossus - Remake > Original

Dirty Colossus OST - Original = Remake

Maiden Astraea - Remake > Original

Maiden Astraea OST - Original > Remake

Fat Officials - Original > Remake

World 3-1 - Original > Remake

Boletaria Palace overall - Remake > Original

Anything else I don’t really have a strong opinion on one way or the other.

Temple knight noob

Hey, sorry if this is a stupid question...but I just started the game with the temple knight and I dont know if I need to upgrade the intelligence stat. I know its for magic and not miracles but it also gives me PH. Dont I need PH to use the miracles too?

Right now I can only use the firts miracle once and I guess the stronger miracles are going to need more PH...?

Thanks

Flamerurker seems impossible to defeat

... and by that I don't mean the difficulty of the boss fight itself, but the FPS drops are so severe that it's hard to keep up with Flamerurker's attacks. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my PS3 slim?

Maybe I just don't undertand these fights. I beat all other FromSoft games (except the DeS remake) and I have never had so may issues with boss fights.

Is it normal to get +3 souls from enemies?

I'm sorry if that sounds like a total noob question, but coming straight from completing Bloodborne, Demon's Souls feels very underwhelming in terms of character development. I can barely get any souls from normal enemies to level up and bosses are, well... by nature, limited.

Another question - why do I respawn next to the previous archstone? Shouldn't I respawn next to the one I came "from"?

Got a PS5 yesterday and Demon’s Souls.

So I played the original as a kid constantly on repeat, really found the love of my gaming life so here I am like what, about 16 years later? Playing the remake and omg.

I imagined it to be a coat of paint but it’s literally like a new game in the coding sense.

I want to share this feeling with you guys to see if other experience it. I just finished 1-1 and I have genuine fear when playing the game 😂 I have this obscure fear that has rarely been triggered in my life which is like huge monsters with loud noises filling up huge empty spaces and every time I see those dragons and they’re flying around or above me and screeching, I’m literally terrified 🤣 I’m ducking in real life, my heart is sinking, I’m shutting my eyes when they appear on screen and this is not how I’d imagine to play a souls game 🤣 I’m excited for more horrors later in the game like the giant mantis which is gonna terrify me or hopefully the valley of defilement is genuinely scary. Latria has the creepy vibe and I’m excited with fear!

Anyone else experiencing it as a horror game or just me? 🤣
