Also corrected the index for some missing stuff. Added updates section (obviously) and have started on writing the last 3 chapters of the game. Made things more readable, and added an apology for just throwing this up in the condition it was in. ;D Oh, all that, and I upgraded Prinny Hero from 50 characters wide, to 79, dood. ============================================================================== +++ Info [INFO] +++ ============================================================================== Thanks for reading my guide on Demon Souls, and I hope to answer some of your questing troubles with this guide. Inside, you'll find the locations of most items, some tips for survival, and guides for getting past the bosses in the game. I apologize for the messiness of the guide, but with new updates, I'll be able to add full item lists at the beginning of each stage, rewrite the areas 4, and 5, and finish up with the final boss battle, once I have more time. Here's to defeating near unsurmountable odds, and also... Just remember: Never say die. ============================================================================== Tutorial 0-1 [TUT1] ============================================================================== ------ Items on stage ------ | Cresent Moon Grass : 4 | ---------------------------- Not more than 15 paces, and you'll find your first ghoul, standing there ready to get hacked to bits. There should be 1 more in the waterway ahead, then two more in the room immediately after. When dealing with multiple combatants, just remember to lock onto one, keep your guard up, and finish them off quick before they manage to whittle your health down. Any number of enemies over 1 is never good. There should be one more ghoul waiting for a sneak attack up the stairs, and after killing it, you'll come across a soul containing [Crescent Moon Grass: 1] in the hallway ahead, and another soul on the broken bridge wall further along the way, with [Crescent Moon Grass: 3] inside it. Jump down, and you'll find yourself in a courtyard with 4 ghouls scattered about, and after swiftly dispatching them, just touch the Archstone to move to the next section of the tutorial. ============================================================================== Tutorial 0-2 [TUT2] ============================================================================== -------- Items on stage -------- | Cresent Moon Grass : 6 | | Half Moon Grass : 3 | | Unknown Soldier's Soul | -------------------------------- As soon as you step past the “R2 for strong attack” message in the floor up ahead, you'll be assaulted by a Longsword Soldier (LS for short). Now would be an excellent time to practice parrying, as you can never get enough practice with that. Just stay calm, and let the enemy attack you. Just as their strike is about to near you, not a second sooner or later, press L2 and parry their attack, then press R1 to either instantly kill, or eviscerate most of their health. In this case, it'll be the latter. Though you may also take a minuscule amount of damage while performing this maneuver, it'll probably be better than receiving a sharp health-halving stab from many of the Knights you'll meet later on in the game. Moving on, there'll be another LS up ahead, followed by your first Longsword Knight (LK for short). ~~~ LK tips ~~~ Usually they approach, and raise their sword to attack. This occurs more frequently when you stop guarding.After their first slash, they have a tendency to attack up to 2 more times if their attacks are successful and not guarded. If they try to get very close to you, and don't seem to raise their sword, that means they're going to shield bash you. This breaks your guard, and stuns you long enough for them to hit you with a strong attack. Just step/roll backwards, and raise your guard again as soon as they attack. If you're not confident in parrying their attack, just guard, and when their attack bounces off their shield, attack ONCE then go back to guarding till they attack again. Being greedy with Knights of any kind is never good. Staying calm, and using the brief lesson in parrying will keep your health high, and theirs a nice, cold, six feet under. ~~~ Don't give up! ~~~ There'll be another one up ahead, and heading up from the stairs from there will net you a [Half Moon Grass: 1]. Heading up yet again, there'll be a soul containing an [Unknown Soldier's Soul: 1], and a Crossbowman (CB for short) ready to fire at you. Just remember to sidestep their bolts, and you'll be fine, as they have less health than most other Soldier's you'll find. On this walkthrough, I found some [Crescent Moon Grass: 3] on the dead CB, can anyone verify if this is just random? Thanks. Heading to the right of the stairs, a LS will be stepping down to meet you. If you plan on parrying his attack, just remember that counterattacks usually only work on solid ground, or if you're slightly above the enemy. Upstairs a CB will be guarding the Fog gateway. This one seems to have [Crescent Moon Grass: 3] in his possession as well. To the right, you'll find a soul with [Half Moon Grass: 2] inside it, and to the left, an angry LS. Up the stairs, should be the first time you see death... ============================================================================== *** BOSS BATTLE : VANGUARD [BV] *** ============================================================================== This boss wasn't meant to be defeated, but stories of the hardcore prevailing are many. It has 2 slashes, a direct overhead slash, and a horizontal forward slash. Not only that, but it also has a body press attack when players attempt to flank it too much. A tactic for winning, is to stay under it's sword arm, and keep slashing it, until it does it's body press attack. At that point, roll back, and then resume slashing it. If you do win, you'll score yourself a [Gripless] katana, and a [Grey Demons Soul] ============================================================================== Keep on rolling! ============================================================================== Either way, win or lose, you die. D: ============================================================================== The Nexus [N1] ============================================================================== Beyond death, there is still life for this brave adventurer. For the first time among many, you are in Spirit Form, a form in which you may help others online with the right tools, yet you are also weakened as well. You lose half your max health, and have an unhealthy green glow surrounding your character till you either defeat a boss demon, or use a certain item and regain your body. Till then, you'll just have to make do. After chatting with the denizens of The Nexus to your hearts content and repairing you equipment, touch the “Archstone of Small King” to head to the “Boletarian Palace” to start your quest for your body! ============================================================================== Boletarian Palace 1-1 [BP1] ============================================================================== Taking your first steps into the palace there'll be 2 Ghouls, one to the right and to the left of you, in hiding. You'll find [Crescent Moon Grass : 3] in the first soul here, then an [Unknown Soldier's Soul] in the next. There'll be 3 more ghouls up ahead, then at the top of the stairs, 4 more. Take the path to the right, and dispatch the ghoul up the stairs. There'll be a CB on a platform up ahead, with 2 ghouls on the ground right next to a pit that spells instant death for anyone who falls down it. Don't let it be you. The best move is to guard the sniper fire, and let the ghouls come to you. Cut/bash them down, then finish the CB up top, and grab the [Half Moon Grass : 2] there too. Look out for the ghoul hiding to your right, and while you're dealing with him a second one may come up behind you as well. Finish them off, and a third one waits in the dark in the next room over too. Just outside, you'll find some [Firebomb : 5], handy for toasting enemies or exploding flammable barrels with a red stripe on them. Up the stairs are 2 LS' with shields, the fastest way is to parry and riposte, but you can always do it the boring way too, if you like that. Through the Fog gateway, and to the right, look for the 2 souls, containing [Cresent Moon Grass : 2] and a [Mail Breaker: 1] great for tight spaces like stone corridors or this stairway, until you get yourself a spear. Upstairs, look out for a LS that lobs firebombs. Most of them will start doing that past this point, so if LS' start backing away for no reason, it's either to heal, or lob a firebomb. Either way, strong attack them before they can pull it off. On the next level up, will be a ghoul with a flaming sword (FG for short), annoying since they can stun you for a half second when they set you aflame with their weapon. Look out behind you for the firebomb chucking LS too. I don't recommend running up this next set of stairs, as there's another firebomb LS that always gets me when I run. Just move on without worrying too much about him, and there should be two FG's with another LS on a platform above you. Try to lure the FG's and then run under the platform before he can set you aflame. To the left and outside, look out for the ghoul, and then for the LS up ahead. The other firebombing LS might step outside to assist him too, so be on your guard. Once inside, head left to get some [Half Moon Grass : 2]. BE CAREFUL when you head up the stairs, because there's a LS with a boulder at the top. When it starts rolling, run back, and dodge before it overtakes you! As a reward, you can jump down to receive a [Bastard Sword :1], one of my fave crowd control weapons. When you head upstairs, look out for the CB while taking out the LS. You can keep heading in the direction of the CB for some extra soul from one more CB and a Spear Soldier (SS from now on) up ahead. There's also some [Half Moon Grass : 4] here as well, but- DO NOT TRY TO KILL THE RED EYED KNIGHT AHEAD. They will one shot you. I guarantee it. Wait till you're Soul Level 30ish, then you'll show that jerk. There is an [Unknown Hero's Soul] behind him if you're curious. Head back, and take on the blue eyed knight that you've no doubt noticed as soon as you got off the stairs. From now on, LK's and other Knight for that matter will usually take a run at you and attempt to stab you for quite some damage. While it's better to block it and attack normally, the brave might be able to parry that and end the fight before it truly starts. Knights in general tend to drop Grasss, and this one should drop [Half Moon Grass : 2] when it croaks. Anyways, ignore the Fog gateway (yeah, I knowww...) and run through that hole the wall behind you. No, I'm not kidding. There's a platform to catch you down below, with a [Light Crossbow : 1] and some [Wooden Bolt : 16], handy for pulling certain enemies from long distances for fairer fights. Head through the doorway, kill that annoying LS, roll off the platform onto the stairs, and head back up to where you killed that LK upstairs. Once again, ignore the Fog gate, and head towards that tower you see up ahead. It has some important items inside it you'll be needing later on. Pick up the [Firebomb : 5], and kill your way through 3 FG's to a balcony and break the 2 chains you see out there. Proceed downstairs, and kill the 5 FG's (I recommend using a few firebombs to kill them when they're in a group) and pull the lever at the very bottom. Not only does this give you a shortcut for future runs, but it gives you the most important item in the entire game, the [Cling Ring]. With this, you now have 2/3 your total health, letting you survive more attacks, meaning less deaths for you. The only time you should take it off, is when you finally have your body, but till that time, NEVER remove it. From the bodies outside, you can find [Old Raggedy Robes : 1], [Old Raggedy Gloves : 1], [Old Raggedy Boots :1] and [Old Spice : 2], and in the other, the quest item [Jade Hair Ornament : 1] Now, have yourself a Grass, and get back up those stairs to the Fog gateway (FINALLY). Search the wall directly to the left of the stairs for a way to jump down; you'll automatically make that jump down, and hopefully onto a platform where a powerful looking knight is standing. He's actually weaksauce, but you gotta help him out. Before you do so, be sure to grab the [Thief's Ring]. It makes you harder to detect, allowing you to sneak past some enemies that are further away, or have their backs turned. There should be 5 FG's down there, so throwing a Firebomb, or using some magic might be a good choice before leaping to certain doom. Finish them off and Ostrava of Boletaria will introduce himself and hand you a mostly useless [Brass Telescope : 1]. Don't miss the [Unknown Soldier's Soul: 1] in the corner. Moving forward, two doors will burst open, and both you and useles- I mean Ostrava, will be attacked by a LS and an Axe Soldier (AS for this one). Watch out for the guard crushing properties of that axe! Once your bait and yourself have finished them off, you'll both provoke a Knight armed with a Claymore! (just call it BSK for short) The sneaky that have the Thief's ring equipped might be able to slowly walk up to him and backstab it for major damage, and finish it off quick, or dodge hits till they slash it to death. Guarding against it is a fun way to get yourself killed, I always love watching bloodsplatter replays of people getting killed by it. Quite usually, you'll find it drops [Half Moon Grass : 2] Continuing to the right, Ostrava the Suicidal will get himself attacked by a Ghoul, and a GB at the same time, then after getting rescued, attacked by another 8 ghouls down the stairs, with some [Splinter of Hardstone :3] and some [Splinter of Sharpstone : 3] down there as well. When the dust finally settles, be sure to grab the [Unknown Hero's Soul], and on the other side of the wall where you fought the BSK, a shiny new [Scimitar : 1], which should help many of us that started with stabbing weapons only. By now, Ostrava will be picking a fight with the AS down the hallway, be sure to kill him before anything happens. ... The AS, not Ostrava. Just making sure, I mean, had the same thought the first 5 minutes I met him. Moving on, there should be an [Unknown Soldier's Soul] next to some desks near the AS. Abandon Ostrava, as he should be safe now, and bash through those cupboards ahead. There'll be 4 Ghouls waiting for you, and a CB may start firing on you too. Head up the stairs and stick to the wall, avoiding the LS guarding the path. You'll want to backstab him after you kill the Ghoul on the wooden stairs ahead, and the annoying CB on the next level up too. There'll be another [Unknown Soldier's Soul :1] up there with him. If you feel like killing the other CB on the next level up, you'll have to go through the LK first. Drawing him down the stairs to solid ground will even the odds for you, as he has the advantage with the high ground and an annoying CB to back him up. Grab your [Half Moon Grass : 2] and head up to slash the CB off the top of the platform, grab the [Late Moon Grass :1], and head back downstairs to kill that LS we saw earlier. Running forward, you should hear 2 AS landing behind you. Kill them, and head onward to backstab an unsuspecting Pike Soldier. There will be a LS to the right, and one in the room up ahead with all the barrels inside it and a vendor to the left, through all those breakable boards. Be sure to roll away after stepping into that room full of barrels, because the LS inside will blow it all up with a Firebomb, nearly killing anyone in the blast. After you're done here, head back up to the top where you killed that LK and step through the Fog gateway. Before you turn right at the end of this path, be sure to attack the large wooden structure in front of you. You'll break some boards, (and hopefully not be in the way) and 6 boulders should come rolling out, killing anything in their path, meaning 4 Ghouls and 4 CB's. On the next right, there'll be 2 SS' waiting to ambush you. Head left and there'll be a dragon resting. Now, the brave, reckless, and fast can make a dash across, and attempt to take as much stuff on the top of that plateau as they can before getting charbroiled by a dragon, or just take the safe path to the left and get some [Full Moon Grass : 2] and some [Splinter of Keystone : 2]. For the brave (read : Insane) guarding, using a ring of flame resistance, flame resistant armor, and increasing your Endurance stat can increase your survival rate against Dragon Flame. It'll net you a [Renowned Soldier's Soul : 2], a [Purple Flame Shield :1], and a [Ring of Great Strength : 1]. Heading down the long bridge, I would suggest killing the first AS that runs after you, then only lingering around long enough for the dragon to fly above the area. Dragon you ask? Why, thats the dragon that roasts this area constantly as long as you're on this bridge. The fast should run, the heavily armored should lighten up by removing unnecessary armor, and run FASTER. After the dragon makes it's first run, dash across as fast as you can ignore any enemies that aren't dead, and roll till you're on the other side of those stairs. And ignore those items back on the bridge, it's not worth getting charbroiled over. Turn right to find an [Unknown Soldier's Soul], and go into the next room to pull that lever to open the main gate, and watch a warning shot fired from your first boss. Turn around, and head down the hallway to find yourself in a pincer attack by 2 ghouls. In a situation like this, equipping a Spear, Mailbreaker or other stabby weapon will help with the tight space. Turn to the left, smash through the junk in your way for some [Turpentine : 4]. Head back to the right path, and kill your way to the bottom of the tower through 2 SS, a LS, 2 FG, and three Slime Lancer's (SL). There'll be an [Unknown Hero's Soul :1] on the balcony and some [Half Moon Grass : 3] on the bottom floor next to the lever. It might be worthy to note that the SL's are weak against fire based attacks, and attacks to their rear, and that they drop plenty of valuable ore that can be used to upgrade weapons. From here, I recommend you head back to The Nexus to heal up, repair your equipment, give Stockpile Thomas that [Jade Hair Ornament] you found earlier, and just get ready for your first real boss battle. ============================================================================== *** BOSS BATTLE : PHALANX [BP] *** ============================================================================== The Phalanx is a simple boss, rather than being strong, it relies on a horde of SL's to act as armor and weapons to keep it's central body protected. Just use turpentine to coat your blade weapons in flames, and slash the backs of the SL's that constantly drop off and reattach themselves to the Phalanx, till the Phalanx runs out of armor to hide it's vulnerable body. All those firebombs you've collected to this point should be quite useful on destroying groups of SL's still attached to the Phalanx since they're all in a nice big group! Fire magic is a nice alternative if you have it too. If you get heavily injured, or just need a breather, there's always those pillars to hide behind. The biggest perk that comes with this battle is the fact that each SL has a chance of dropping ores like slivers of sharp stone and hard stone to upgrade your weapons! Just have fun, be careful, and you'll do fine! ============================================================================== *** Slash your way to victory! *** ============================================================================== After winning you'll get your body back, and a [Lead Demon's Soul] as well! Be sure to keep it as it can be used for a special weapon upgrade in the future. ============================================================================== The Nexus [N2] ============================================================================== After returning with the Lead soul you'll be required to meet with the Monumental on the higher part of the Nexus. Just look among all the dead monk's up on the top balcony, and talk to the one with a lit candle right in front of him to hear his tale. After agreeing to assist in his quest, you now have the ability to upgrade your stats through the Black Maiden, and learn Miracles and Spells from the Disciple of God and Freke's Apprentice, respectively. You'll also receive the highly important [Blueeye Stone : 1] and the [Whiteeye Stone :1]. These allow When ready, touch the Archstone of the Small king and head for the Phalanx Archstone. ============================================================================== Boletarian Palace 1-2 [BP 2] ============================================================================== Just past the tunnel, and into the next chamber, there will be 4 SL's scattered about able to take potshots at you, and 2 more in the far right corner of the room with some [Throwing Knife : 10]. This area is very popular for those who wish to farm for ores to upgrade their weapons. In the far left corner of the room where Ostrava is begging for your help again you'll find an [Unknown Heroes Soul :1]. Head up the small platform in the room to grab that [Half Moon Grass :3] before you leave. DON'T RUN TOO FAR AHEAD. Just past that wooden barrier, you'll see a line of white bricks in the ground. Don't step past that, because once again, our dragon friends have taken to roasting entire sections of bridge. Wait till it's just overhead, and as it makes it's trip along the bridge, run up behind it, as fast as you can, not stopping for any of those items on the bridge. Sorry. Once you're safe, head to the right, and up the stairs, take out the SS, then the AS on the next set of stairs, and look out for those two CB's hiding behind the wooden barriers ahead. You should find an [Unknown Heroes Soul], and a [Wooden Catalyst : 1], needed for spellcasting later on, if you don't already have one. Head all the way downstairs, and to the left to help out Ostrava again. Along the way you'll run into 1 Ghoul, and 6 CB's in groups of 2 along the way. I recommend keeping your shield up and using a stabbing weapon, as up to 4 may fire at you at one time, and wide slash attacks will leave you open here. You'll also find a [Ring of Gash Resistance : 1], and as a token of gratitude from Ostrava, some [Dark Moon Grass : 3]. Head down the other direction of the tunnel, and you'll already start hearing the sound of wolves. Just keep your guard up, and after slaying the 2 ghouls in hiding and picking up the [Unknown Heroes Soul], slow down, and keep clicking R3 as you advance, until you spot the first wolf. Try and lure it out, either by using a ranged attack, or edging closer and then running back to slay it. There should be a total of 5 in here, try to take them on in a group of no more than two, as they do have fast attacks. Just past the gate with the [Crescent Moon Grass : 3] beside it, you'll find a CB, and then a shopkeeper Dredgeling behind all that junk in front of you. Head back to that last gate, and there should be a doorway obscured by a barrier. Bash through that, head upstairs, and kill the two CB's to find a [Compound Short Bow : 1] and some [Heavy Arrow : 6]. Head back down to the bridge section, but look out for the 4 CB's behind you. I recommend taking that Bastard sword you found earlier to their faces. After dealing with them, head through the Fog gateway, and get rid of the Ghoul, and the FG. Now, equip your Crossbow on your other L slot, and dash up the path after the dragon roasts this path too. Run to the right, and hide behind the cart to evade the crossbow fire and fire back, avoiding close combat because the LK will run forward if you get too close to him. Finish off the next LK, and then turn right, and head up the stairs. Quickly run into the far left corner of the room and lock on the small sparkly lizard that looks like it's trying to get away from you, and stab it to death. These invisibility capable creatures will disappear if you're not quick enough to kill it, which is quite a loss since they usually carry many rare ores. Heading upstairs, you can kill the two CB's, and then scrounge around to find a [Renowned Soldier's Soul], a [Stone of Ephemeral Eyes : 1], an [Unknown Soldier's Soul] and a [Royal Lotus :1]. ============================================================================== *** BOSS BATTLE : TOWER KNIGHT *** ============================================================================== My first tip, is to run upstairs and kill off all the CB's taking pot shots at you. With them out of the way your job will be much easier. Just be careful not to get hit by the TK's long range attack. Head back down to mop up any CB's that didn't die from your attack, and the long fall they took, and get ready for the real fight. For mages, the battle is easy; just run behind the TK, and pelt the back of it's head with Magic. It'll die quick. Melee fighters will have to keep close and destroy the ankles of the Tower Knight to topple it on it's back, and then attack it's face while it's prone. The only moves you'll have to worry about when up close, are it's shield bash, it's close range quake, and that backwards jump it occasionally makes. As long as you know when to dodge to the side, you'll be fine. Kill of the TK, and be sure to grab the [Late Moon Grass : 3], [Renowned Soldier's Soul], and [Iron Demon's Soul] before you leave for the Nexus |
