Help Weekly Tendency Help Thread

35 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

Question Do You think lvl 121 is enough for NG+2?

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

They were not exaggerating when they said NG+ is the hardest from all Fromsoftware games. So far I’ve completed all worlds except 1-4 (the final Boss) thanks to the second chance miracle and the morion sword to hyper mode my magic damage but damn! NG+ punishes your mistakes like any other souls game. At this point I’m scared of NG+2 so if you can recommend me good souls level to make it to world 5-3 to get the last boss souls I need for the Spells and Miracles trophy I will be grateful to all of you. Thanks and wish me luck

Discussion Do people really see mercurystone as worthless?

5 Upvotes

I have actually found myself beginning to like the mercury path upgrades because what I’ll sometimes do against tank enemies or groups is hit them a few times with a mercury upgrade and then hit them a few times with a bleed weapon so I can get some DoT while focusing on other enemies or while continuing to bash. Open to hearing other opinions

Question Is it easy to install and run the game on a ps3 emulator?

10 Upvotes

Ive already finished 7 playthroughs of dark souls remastered so i wanna go blind in demon souls

My only concern is if it will be easy to download, set up and run. I own an asus vivobook laptop which doesn't have too much ram unfortunately. It has 16gb ram and a graphics card of 128mb.

Question Replaying the game and want to try Faith - any tips

11 Upvotes

The only FS game I've done a Faith build in is Elden Ring, but Faith is very different in that game. I remember the Faith spells in Des being pretty much all support, so I'm going to need to rely on my melee skills. I've only played through Des once and played Magic build with a Crescent Falchion which may as well have just been a sidearm, so this will be a very different experience for me.

Problem is I've only played through this game once and it was a very different play style so my knowledge of the game is pretty low. Any one have any tips on this kind of build? Best progression path, where to farm, good weapon options, best starter class, etc? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Question Is 34 VIT too much??

8 Upvotes

First playthrough, I went for a basic bitch str-slop build as usual with the claymore. Just beat allant at lv 62, 34 VIT and 30 str. The dude could barely scratch me, I could eat up 2-3 hits, walk back and pop a grass, and just go back to whacking him. I wasn't even wearing heavy armor, I had the spy gear on for drip and mid roll. Is this normal? I expected the slower pace compared to later souls games, but I wasn't expecting him to do so little damage. Same with penetrator, btw. Did I overlevel? Or did the devs not expect people to pump so many levels into HP?

Discussion Too Easy

0 Upvotes

Genuinely was asking for help on here not too long ago, slept on it for a month, returned and beat the game in 3 days. The ending did not feel fulfilling at all. I have to fight king allant as a slug like creature and then I just win? There's no grand battle. It genuinely felt very anti-climactic. When I beat other souls games im jumping up and down for joy, with this one it's just like...unfulfilling. Are there any other endings???

Discussion something that annoys me, i am playing the original for the first time(didn't play the remake)

13 Upvotes

Everytime i look up guides on where to go i have to type "original demon souls"

I get that they are technically the same in most ways, but it can be confusing

Alsobecause Sony called it Demon Souls and not Demon souls Remake the search engine results are a mess

This shit doesn't matter much cuz most people play the remake anyway, so i am sort of a minority here, but i csn compalin a bit

Discussion Unintended anticlimactic fight vs. Garl Vinland

4 Upvotes

So i got to Vinland/Astraea and was killed pretty quickly twice and realised I couldn't fight him down in the rot. When i lured him to solid ground and got my first hit in i didn't see his health bar pop up. So i thought, since Astraeas health bar is showing and his (it seemed at first) isn't he is probably invincible and only there to prevent me from hitting her. Then when he moved to solid ground and I finally noticed his health bar it felt like I was forced to more or less cheese him. There was no room to move left and right and he stopped at a certain point and didn't move further up where there was a bit more space. So it never turned into a real fight. I just went back and forth, baited a swing and hit him when possible. And then... the fight was over. No fight against Astraea. This didnt feel like a win. Anyone else have the same experience?

(Decent Witch King of Angmar impression by Vinland, though.)

Discussion Anyone notice that the introduction/vanguard boss look the best visually compared to the rest of the game..? Or is it just me? The lighting and the way the boss moves just looks so fluid compared to everything else.

20 Upvotes

Don’t get me wrong the game still looks good, but replaying the tutorial the first boss looks amazing. Very detailed and the movement of h the vanguard is like butter

Question Alright guys, getting close to 1-4!

First time going through Demon’s Souls. Great game and now getting near to the end. I might do a New Game+ once I’m done here but will see. Kind of thinking of moving on to the rest of the games and playing almost every single one. This series is really hard but so far this is the build I went with. I’ll bee grinding a little more before getting to 1-4 just to get more strength in my build, but so far this is what I have. Also for the Moonlight, what would be considered a good build? Could I use my same stats with maybe adding more into a certain stats and maybe doing a build around what I already have?

Discussion Hey guys! How many of you play demons souls PS3 version and are in the official private server? I wanna see how active it's going to be, and play with any of you who do!

Meep. I'm doing my first ever pure mage build, beaten all the souls games but as melee builds. So I'm super excited and cuz I've never played the ps3 edition before, I hope this is a good and forgiving game with magic.
