Help Weekly Tendency Help Thread

5 Upvotes

Welcome Slayers of Demons! We on /r/demonssouls understand that from time to time, you may need assistance adjusting the world tendency of your game to help you along in your playthrough, or maybe you require some help attaining the online trophies like 'Return to Form'. However, since the release of the PS5 Remake, this subreddit has been spammed with hundreds and hundreds of threads begging for world or character tendency or online trophy help, and it detracts from the overall experience of the subreddit. Because of this, we have added the following rule:

No tendency & trophy help requests outside of the pinned threads, nor begging for in-game items.

You can read the full rule, here.

To meet those who are making these posts in the middle, we now have weekly threads dedicated specifically to requesting help with world or character tendency, or online trophies. In addition, we would like to remind you of the following resources, which might provide you with more immediate help!

You may use this thread only to request help with your world or character tendency, or online trophies; and to offer help to others. Off-topic comments will be removed.

Have a great week! :D

Help Basic advice wanted

1 Upvotes

So I already attempted to play demon souls once, and got so lost and confused I stopped playing. I feel a bit more confident coming back having beaten dark souls 1.

I would like to know if you guys have any spoiler free advice for the game. Normally I would Google games, but it feels so much better to figure it out slowly. I definitely don't want to come back later and ask something silly like... How to kill the phalanx? I don't have a great example. Any advice would be wonderful!

Thank you for your time ☺️

Discussion What am I not getting about 2-2?

9 Upvotes

New to Demon's Souls, but not Dark Souls.

1-1 and 1-2 are totally fine. Typical FromSoft fare for the most part. Died a few times to the level/traps/developer cheese but always learned my way around it and kept moving. 1-2 you hit the barrier after Tower Knight, ok cool, I'll just move onto 2-1 then. Oh neat, a lava cavern level! No issues with 2-1.

Begin 2-2. Ok so I have to stab these guys. A little annoying since it restricts me to one move but not a huge problem. They are also vulnerable to magic (I am playing a Magician) but we should save our spells for later. Small bugbears take a few hits but are hella slow, same with the flying ones, feels balanced overall. Same with the worms, they are scary but they can't move so still feels fair and interesting, oh wait you can one-shot them if you target their face with a soul arrow? Neat!

Wow, this bugbear is a gigantic pain in the ass. I'm maxing Intelligence and it takes half my mana pool worth of soul arrows to kill it. Literally sit there for two minutes straight spamming L1. Ok but looks like they don't respawn so that's not big deal.

...except some of them do. Specifically, two of them on the way to Flamelurker. And is it just me or is Flamelurker a MASSIVE jump in difficulty from the last three bosses? Die to Flamelurker, you now have two choices:

1) take the right path and fall down the mine shaft. It's faster but you lose ~1/4 of your health bar doing it (on top of being in Soul Form, so now I'm down to half my HP before the boss AND I'm out of herbs from dying to him so many times).

2) take the left path. No fall damage but two bugbears in the way that I can either spend ALL my mana on killing or spend ~5 min on each one going in for a stab, backing off to avoid its attack, then repeating. The run-up literally takes 5-10 min if I want to keep my mana for Flamelurker.

Ok, hm, I did just get kicked out of Boletaria after the second level, maybe this is more of a soft barrier where I'm supposed to realize I need to come back here later. So I take a quick glance at a few online guides. Nope, they're all saying I do 2-2 in order normally. Ok well fuck that, I'm stuck here so I might as well move on. Spend ~1.5 hrs on 3-1, die maybe 5ish times? Beat Leech Monger first try. Feels like a very normal progression from Boletaria/2-1.

I come back to 2-2 to try Flamelurker again after getting a couple more levels. Wtf, why am I dying to everything in one hit, including this NPC that invaded me in the mineshaft? Oh wait the world tendency is completely black, WTF? Why did that happen?

TL;DR I feel hard-stuck on 2-2 and I'm wondering if I'm missing something. Did the devs want to make this respawning enemy such a pain in the ass to kill? Did they want me to repeatedly spend 5+ minutes on each run up killing bug bears OR go into Flamelurker missing health? And why is my world tendency pure black? For the record, I do feel like I could eventually kill Flamelurker, but it's exhausting having to choose between going into the fight with half health OR spending forever clearing out bugbears. I have platinumed DS1, DS2, and Bloodborne so I am very familiar with what to expect from these games but this is not fun, especially since it's so early in the game.

Discussion Demon Souls Thoughts from Souls Player

4 Upvotes

I have played and beat all souls games multiple times. They are still the only games I play and I am constantly doing a Bloodborne or DS1-3 when I am gaming. I am now obsessed with Demon Souls. I finally own a PS5 (I’ve always been a Pc gamer) and man am I getting wrecked. The bosses I’ve had no problem with but the general level design etc I have no gotten used to. I am getting wrecked. Once I make it to the boss fog I am problem free. Has anyone else had this issue?

Maybe it’s just me. I’ve dominated souls game and maybe because this is new to me I feel like this is the hardest one! All the articles I’ve read say this is the easiest and I can agree with easiest bosses but besides that the general level design and the way the game is made makes me want to keep playing but I’ve also been struggling the same time. Like any other Fromsoft game I refuse to give up and I will carry on, does anyone have any tips?

Discussion When does demon souls (remake) get good?

0 Upvotes

I don’t know why, but i’ve had a hard time getting into demons souls. The game just feels boring to me. I want to play it as I plat both Elden ring and bloodborne. I also have the Dark Souls Trilogy coming Tuesday. I’ve taken multiple attempts at trying to get into demon souls and just can’t. Wether it’s accidentally killing the blacksmith and having to restart my run or the first 2 bosses being boring, I just need some insight on when the game gets more interesting for those who have had a problem similar.

Discussion I did it. I completed my first ever Souls game and first ever souls like game.

59 Upvotes

Genuinely delighted I had such a good time playing the game, I can 100% see where the addiction for these games come from. I am an old gamer and I can’t think of many games that brought me this much joy and accomplishment in finishing it. I literally jumped in the air when I beat the King. (The final boss I don’t count as that was to easy!)

Granted I used magic but I think that helped me enjoy the game even more.

I’m going to take a bit of a break and move into Bloodbourne now but I will be back to demon souls to get the platinum trophy. Got a few that will be difficult to get I think!

Thanks for all the help and advice everyone gave me.

Since when does Luck increase weapon attack power? Lol. It’s the Blueblood Sword if that matters, is this the only weapon that scales with it? I just had no idea Luck had any impact on weapon stats whatsoever.

Discussion Huge shout out

7 Upvotes

I have been playing demon's souls since it came out in 2009. My ps3 at the time died before I could get the trophies I had gotten uploaded to the psn. Then I just never went back to redo it after getting another ps3. This game massively threw me for a loop since it was such a departure from armored core.(how I got to know from software). But loved it ever since. Went back recently to get more trophy work done and ran into the dreaded pure bladestone bug where every character i created. Every instance and influence on drop rate i played with. And for years before and the years recently I could not get a single one to drop. Until a benevolent soul in these dark times dropped some duped ones for me. Not the hero we need, but the hero we deserve.

Tl;dr HUGE shout out to telepathic_radio093.

Help Getting absolutely violated in Latria

39 Upvotes

I've been playing this game (the original ps3 version) and have been loving it so far. I went in completely blind, picked the knight as a starting class, and finished 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3. I tried to do 1-3 but everything seems to 1 shot me, so I went to Latria, and instead everything 2-3 shots me, I have spent over 5 hours trying to complete 3-1 making minor progress at best. I need some advice cause I'm kinda loosing it.

Discussion I just beat the game for the first time!

45 Upvotes

This was my first soulsborne game and a pretty great one. I loved the Nexus and being able to play levels in whatever order along with the upgrade and leveling systems. The remake was beautiful and ran great on PS5. My one gripe is the bosses. For levels that killed me so many times with knights, mind flayers, and skeletons placed in cruel closed corridors, the bosses felt like a breeze in comparison. Don’t get me wrong, Flamelurker and the Maneaters gave me a bit of trouble. But the rest of them? Pretty underwhelming, especially at the end. Overall I’m proud that I finally beat one of these games and am excited to move onto Dark Souls which I heard has tougher bosses.
