The initial bosses yield fewer souls, but the further into the game, the more souls you’ll acquire. However, using souls in this way is the least recommended way. These are unique souls that you get once per playthrough, so it is worth considering what to use them for.

This effect increases by one every time the shield is upgraded. This is extremely useful and can either mitigate health drain as a result of debuffs or help conserve the use of healing items in between combat encounters. This weapon also does excellent Bleeding damage, taking out huge chunks of an enemy’s life bar when you can build up the Bleed status effect enough.

Going along the little staircase at your left, you can spot eight Dreglings hidden by some explosive barrels. Try to sneak up on them and use a Firebomb to reduce their numbers as much as possible. At the end of the room, you can loot a body to obtain, x3 Hardstone Shard and x3 Sharpstone Shard. Once you’re back, pass through the fog door to progress towards the next section.

If you’re starting Demon’s Souls for the first time, here are a few tips to help you get started, and some general advice. Bosses with low to moderate fire resistance can be dealt with quickly using Firestorm. With a high enough Magic stat, most bosses will die in one or two casts even on New Game Plus (NG+). For fighting melee foes, you can cast Warding to easily tank through their attacks, though staying at a distance and peppering them with spells will likely be enough to make short work of them. For access to some ranged attacks, you can also invest a modest amount of points to Dexterity, enough to wield good bows such as the Compound Long Bow or White Bow.

Game Information

This guide shows all of the Ring Locations in the Demon’s Souls PS5 Remake / Remaster. Much like the excellent remake for Shadow of the Colossus, Bluepoint Games has really delivered something special with this remake of Demon’s Souls. If I was at From Software, I would be very worried about now. Simply because churning out the same Souls game every year is no longer an option when other studios can do it so much better. The trophies are also more interesting and less of a slog compared to the original game (shown above), and while I don’t normally bother with trophies, I actually had fun acquiring them all for this remake. 100 vip makes the whole game a lot more straightforward and less awkward.
