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

So is there some side stuff I'll miss out on by dying too much?

Potentially, but only if you die in body form. They're not usually that important, but it's still something neat to see if you want to scrape everything first time.

How do I actually level up in this?

And why can't I use some equipment?

Also I'm loving it!

You have to beat the first boss to level. Then you talk to the Maiden in Black.

As for gear, some are locked to Body A and some to B. It's a layover when it was more gender locked back in the day, but it's one of those things they didn't update with the new character creator.

For weapons and the like, you just need big number, but I assume you mean armour etc

Yea I got some armour and couldn't use it. Am at the first boss now have been exploring the castle and loving it. Got to a guy who was too hard to beat so just left him alone which I think led to opening the route to the first boss.

I've also found a bit with a Red and a Blur dragon. Is there something meaningful to do there?

Not yet! I wouldn’t venture down there until much, much later in the game...

Thinking of playing this a second time soon but I'm not sure whether to start a brand new character or go straight into NG+. I never played the original so I had no clue what was going on with the light/dark stuff until reading about it afterwards. Feels like I should start completely fresh.

Try a new character with a different build.

Thanks, I will :msgreen:

Where do you get Magic?

I’ve reached the massive armoured knight and hit a brick wall.

Game is starting to annoy me a bit. The distance between checkpoints is brutal and I dont seem strong enough for anything.

You need a catalyst weapon (staff really) to wield it, enough points in it to have a spell 'attuned' and then be able to get one off somebody in the nexus (i think). Not sure if anyone will be available to you st at that point though.

Remember you don't have to stay in that castle level, all the other archstone are avaible after you've beaten the phalanx (Which you have). I don't think magic will be much good against tower knight anyway, Try one of the other levels to mix things up a bit. You may find something useful in one of those, weapon or npc wise. It's all progress.

To clarify on magic: you need a base 10 in the stat and then there's a guy in the Nexus to the right of the stairs if you're looking at the archstones. Just around the corner on the ground floor. For miracles, same deal, but on the left and with faith/talismans. Mechanically they're the same, but different, in that magic is usually offensive/utility and miracles are defensive/utility

Everywhere else I go seems impenetrable.

Have you got a bow yet? It can be handy for drawing an enemy away from a group rather than trying to take them all on at once. Parrying is much easier in this game than the other souls games, so give that a try too.

I’d recommend 2-1 or 3-1. If you do 2-1 then having a weapon with thrusting damage mill be a massive help since the enemies are weak to that.

Ok levelled a bit and beat him then went through the 2nd level and beat the spider boss. Seems my Faith isn’t high enough to use magic so I’m trying to level to get that now. It’s very slow and can be immensely frustrating but just about willing to stick with it.

Been trying to get magic and strawberry float me the class I picked can’t use it :fp:

What a waste of time and souls

With Barbarian did I pick the worst class possible as without ranged attacks this is strawberry floating annoying.

Is Depraved Chasm notorious for being the shittest area in Souls history. Seriously it’s so strawberry floating tedious, every time I go to it I just end up dropping the game like a hot rock because of how wank it is.

Have progressed to the second stage in every other area but a lot of them have become equally dull or just wont let me go any further. Would like to keep going because when it’s fun its great, but the small bits when that’s the case seem increasingly few and far between.

This is exactly why I’ll never pay 60+ for a game.

Do you enjoy any games at all these days?
