Demon's Souls Remake (PS5) - Confirmed for launch

Is it just me or is anyone else not getting any ratings on their messages? Seems really unusual, I must say.

I got a lot of ratings on a message I left at the extremely easy to miss stairway in 3-1.

The bosses in this are piss easy arent they? Im not complaining.

Check out Billy Big Bollocks over here.

I guess I got gud

Oh my, I just started 4-1 (Shrine of Storms) and what a world! Also, finally got a talisman and 'heal' is such a convenience I wish I'd gotten it sooner. This is becoming a strong contender in the fight for my top 3 FromSoft games.

What weapons is everyone using? My current set up is:

Right Hand
Flamberge +5
Talisman of God (Heal & Evacuate)

Left Hand
Kite Shield
Silver Catalyst (Soul Arrow & Enchant Weapon)

It's always been regarded as having the easiest bosses in the series I think. Maneater and Flamelurker are really the only ones that seem to cause most people problems.

It's such a great game, the variety and other worldly-ness of the levels really make it stand out.

Got a crescent falchion +5, and a wooden catalyst.

Took a break to concentrate on Spider-Man which I wrapped up last night, so I went back to this and managed to get through 3-1. The Idol boss was quite fun. Slow paced, so you can take your time, but still tricky as you have to remember where all the traps were placed.

Still, it wasn't too bad and I beat it on my first try. :datass:

Decided to get all the initial stage for each section cleared, so I've gone back and started 2-1 which is a total change of pace from the grim as strawberry float Prison I was in.

Loving this so far. :wub:

Today I learned they added the equivalent of DS1's rusted iron ring but it's locked behind world tendency :simper:

Been trying to get into summoning people for help on my new game plus playthough. Everyone I've summoned is genuinely useless.

Stuck at flame lurker and the second storms level. Will keep chipping away.

2nd Storm level has such a bad boss run.

Got to the posion swamp level, does anyone like these type of levels?

I like the change of pace it gives that the level itself is a danger as much as the enemies, but I don't like the 'stop every 10 seconds for the poison gauge to go down' gameplay that comes from it.

Is Old King Allant supposed to have a health bar the size of King Kong's dick because I was just fighting him for a solid 15-20 minutes and only just got him past half way. Lost 4 strawberry floating soul levels in the process as well.

It'd be a really enjoyable fight if he wasn't such a damage sponge but, as it is, it's so drawn out to the point I'm finding it boring.

Have I strawberry floated up somewhere or does he have a weakness I've missed? I think he's the only boss I've got left now.

He's vulnerable when he's charging up that big circular attack.

Cheers! I'll give that a go later.

I struggled with him but there is a very easy way of beating him.

The dark and light thing is one aspect of the game that's completely gone over my head :oops:

I'll work it out in time for a second playthrough as, for now, I have so many new games on the go at once that it's hard to juggle them all.

Equip the theif ring, a magic power up or regen ring and the poison spell.

At the start of the battle just stand when he has walked away. Walk up the stairs and stop at the top of them. Lock onto him and cast the poison spell. He will take damage but just stand their. Cast it again. And again etc. It takes ages depending on your magic level. Make sure you bring some/lords of mp recovery stuff and it's the easiest fight in the game.

Also once that's done, it's pretty much a straight run to new game plus. So do everything before beating him. Collect and upgrade. Grind and also get the dark tendancy hidden demon souls things from each world as you'll need them for upgrades.

I like how these boss cheeses from the original version are still possible.
