Beginner’s Guide – Demonic Souls
Our Demon Souls for Beginners guide contains some tips and tricks for you if you have just started a remake of Demon Souls on PS5.
Choose your class carefully
The choice of class is crucial in the soul of the demon, because each class gives you a number of statistics from the beginning. Create character statistics to help you develop a style of play, including sets of weapons and armor that you can use in the game from the beginning. Every weapon, armor and sorcery in the soul of the demon is linked to a status requirement. If you do not meet this requirement, you cannot supply weapons. For example, heavy weapons need more power, so you’ll have to use power for your character. That’s why it’s especially important that you choose a class at the beginning of the game that suits your style of play.
If you are a veteran of the franchise, you can choose any class in the game. However, if you are new to franchising, the royalty class is the best option for you. This special class has a catalyst and knows the dark arts and spells. It is also more focused on the scope of the attack, which makes it really suitable for fighting enemies from a distance and gives newcomers the space they so desperately need. If you prefer heavy armor, you can also enter the class of a knight, and if you prefer self-healing and magical battles, you can enter the class of a priest or temple knight.
Understanding the forms of death and the bodies
The game has two different body shapes. One of them is your human form, and when you die, you take back the soul form, which is the standard form of the character in the game. In the human form you have complete health, but in the soul – only half. You can take back your human form using the ephemeral eyestone or simply defeat one of the game’s most important demons.
Death also means that all your souls stayed where you died last time. You only have one chance to come back here to get your souls back, and it is you who will die on the way, you will lose all the souls you have lost. If you have lost only a small number of souls, don’t worry too much, but if you lose a lot of souls, try to come back carefully to get your hard-won souls back. Sometimes it’s just better to walk on the spot, unless a big enemy is blocking your path and you have to fight him to clear the way.
Explore every nook and cranny to find objects and open labels.
The levels of the game may look like a linear progression, but there are a lot of hidden places and secrets you can find. The two most desirable things in the game are hidden in these corners and columns. They contain objects and labels. If you’ve ever played Fromsoftware, you’ll understand how important these elements and names are. The shortest routes allow you to open the way back to the Archstone portal, which will greatly shorten your journey to the many challenging and fascinating areas of the game. However, keep in mind that these places sometimes have enemies and traps, so never walk blindly into every corner and every whim you see in the game.
Organising stock replenishment
In devilish souls, you slow down with heavier objects when you rest them. So your storage load is not the only weight you have to worry about. Your inventory has a limit, but if you take too many items that exceed this limit, you will become extremely slow and your attacks and escapes will be slowed down considerably. However, this is not a big problem as you can send any item from your stock directly to your storage box. This function is extremely useful, so you should make full use of it.
Returning to loading objects, every object you equip in the game has a significant effect on your performance. This effect is actually based on your statistics. If your endurance and strength is high, you won’t feel much difference in attacking and throwing, even if the heaviest weapon or cupid is equipped. You can also switch to a much lighter gear if your design is focused on mobility and hit-and-run combat. The load of the product must correspond to the desired design. If you insist on creating a reservoir, you can just stop thinking about mobility from the beginning.
Take your time with the game.
Demon souls are a game that requires patience. It’s not your traditional hypocrisy to just jump into fights and get out. Even if you have made progress in the game, you are still vulnerable to enemy attacks, and even a modest enemy can easily send you out of the human realm and into the realm of the soul. That’s why you have to take your time with the game. Always check the corners and look for traps in places that otherwise seem harmless. Some of the enemies are hidden in the game, and they can easily attack and kill you if you are not careful in the game.
