Demon's Souls - PS3 RPG (Spoilers Contained)

Hi All,

I just recieved this game this weekend and thought it would be great to get all mybroadband users that are playing to share abit and maybe discuss some strategies since we cannot get access to ps3za on our work lines.

Currently have a warrior on soul lvl 20. Defeated both Phalanx & Tower Knight.

Strategies on defeating:

Phalanx: Accumulate some flame bombs to clear the mini phalanx. They seem weak to fire. Used about 10 bombs to clear a whole lot of them. Try to throw it when they bunch up or throw it at the large Phalanx instead. Takes off quite a bit of health.

Tower Knight: Defeated when I had soul lvl 12. Main strategy would be to attack the ankles so that he falls and then attack the head. He has a few attacks such as his sword thrust & swipe that can take away quite a bit of health. Also becareful when he slams his shield on the ground. To get to his ankles, just wait till he slams his shield on the ground and then run to one of his ankles and land a few shots then run out. Rinse & repeat until he falls and attack his head. Make sure when you enter the area to clear the archers first.

Getting to the tower knight can be a nightmare because you have to kill the knights with blue eyes. One thing I have noticed is that you should put your shield up and wait for it to attack. Try to dodge its attack with your shield up so that you can preserve your stamina. Wait until it finishes its third thrust and then attack it & repeat strategy. Once it is low on health, finish it off with a strong attack.

This is only the beginning and it gets harder onwards. Any HARDCORE RPG fan looking for a challenge will enjoy this. They have alot of stock at ZAPS for those that would like to buy a copy. :cool:

Yay!! This would rock since ps3za is blocked at work so i can only pop in there in the evenings.
Playing a female Royal, currently level 23.

Tips for Armoured Spider (end of 2-1) Stonefang Tunnel:

Make sure you've got the Thief's ring equipped. This will make it harder for him to spot you and nail you with those flaming rocks and spider webs. Get close enoufg to lock onto the spider - i stayed at the left side of the tunnel for the duration of the fight - his attacks didn't touch me there, and i just kept hitting it with Soul Arrows inbetween his attacks - easy as pie!

RPG Fan - which section is the Towe Knight? Is he in Boletarian Palace.
 
RPG Fan, maybe you should amend your title to state that there will be spoilers aplenty in this thread, just in case someone wants to avoid any info on the game before playing.

He is the boss to area 1-2. Will give area 2-1 a try tonight. Oh yes, after deafeating the tower knight, you can teleport back there and farm on those knights with blue eyes. They give 400 souls each and there is 2 of them. Also killing the archers can net you about 1000 souls per visit. And you only need to walk a few steps to fight them. Make sure you fight one at a time.
 
So is that at the end of the area with the bridges? I killed that red dragon, so is it at the end of the whole bridge section? Trying to remember if i've been there or not. Is the Tower Knight huuuuuge?
 
The bridge has 3 sections you have to cross and each time the dragon is there to flame you. If you are online, look for msg left with the "You are safe here". Once the dragon makes its pass, run for you life across the bridge. Make sure you run with your shield up because if those arrows above land on you, prepared to be roasted. Have you got the cling ring? ;)

Oh, the tower knight is HUUUUUUUGE! The first time I saw him it was OMG!!!!! But he is slow.

BTW, how do you edit the title on the title that everyone sees?
 
Ahh, then i have met him before, but he killed me with one stab so i though i was way underpowered - will give him a go next. I have killed that red dragon so the bridge is clear luckily.
Tips for dragon - if you've got enough dexterity to wield the Compound Short Bow, buy +- 200 arrows, get on top of the second tower, and prepare for a long slog to kill the dragon.

Back to the Tower Knight - how did you get rid of all those archers before hand? Do you run around and dodge and use soul arrows inbetween to nail the archers?
(PS: I think one of the moderators will prob need to amend the title)
 
Once you enter the boss area, run to the left and up the stairs. Make sure you have full health (75%). If he lands a hit with his sword, I usually have about 10%.If you only have 50%, lock onto him and run to the stairs facing him with your shield up. That way your stamina will absorb most of the damage but you will lose health. Once you reach the top of the stairs, he will start shooting like a magic sword out his massive sword. Lethal but does not kill you in one shot. Take out the archers around before you attempt the boss.
 
Cool, thanks. Will only be able to play again prob tomorrow night, but the Tower Knight is next on my list for takedown.

PS: Yup, got the cling ring. :D
 
Good luck. Watch for the knights with the blue eyes before the boss. They can be a pain but the reward is good. Has anyone killed the one with the red eyes in 1-1? Tried again and got raped. :eek:
 
Wow. Looks like a great game. Where did you guys buy it from?

You can pick it up at ZAPS for R725. It is a little pricy but the game is tops. When I went on saturday, they had another 13 imported in and is available now. Asked them and they said that there is a huge demand for them.

Yes, i beat him - just use Soul Arrows repeatedly, and keep your distance. Run away for a bit if you must, he's quite slow. He may even give up and turn around, by which time you can shoot a Soul Arrow into his back. ;)

Frak me. That's too much for a game.

I'll wait, thanks :D

The NA version will be out by about October 09. Dont know when the EU version will be available. Can be imported from Play Asia but the shipping fees are ridiculous.
 
Just finished the Armoured spider. Best thing to do is to use range attacks. Soul Arrows work really well because you can block its fire attacks and then cast soul arrows to chip away at its health. Make sure you have a few mana restoration items. I don't think using bow and arrow is a good idea as you cannot defend yourself against its fire attacks.
 
Beat the Tower Knight as well last night, although i went with a different strategy. Ranged attacks from the top right side when you run up the stairs. Shot Soul Arrows at him at exactly the same time he'd start his attack.
 
Does soul arrows do much damage to him? Was playing area 4-1 yesterday. Its quite challenging. We should team up and take on an area. :D
 
Soul Arrows do quite a bit of damage, just lock onto his head and fire away, prob between 20 and 25 Soul Arrows.
We should def team up - just waiting to get my connection sorted again. Looking for a wireless router to stream my connection from my PC upstairs to my PS3 downstairs.
(if you can recommend any, please do ;))
 
Question to RPG Fan or Zero:
How do i check what my character's tendencies are, ie white or black? And how can you check a world's tendencies?
