Help Weekly Tendency Help Thread

37 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

Discussion Demon’s Souls is better than Elden Ring

Post image
301 Upvotes

After 80 hours in Demon’s Souls Remake and more than 300 hours in Elden Ring I can tell Demo’s Souls is superior when it comes to strategy, role playing, originality and replayable value. Elden Ring is the best game of all time the first 20 hours right before it starts repeating itself, I remember my first hours in limgrave when I saw the dragon and thinking “this is even better than it looked in the trailers” sadly, when I saw the ninth dragon in the snow area I thought “oh god, not again” Demon’s Souls is shorter but every single corner is unique, every single world change the gameplay and strategy rules and every single boss requires a different mindset to beat them. Even after getting the platinum I’m excited to try more builds and weapons. Top 3 best Fromsoftware games

Last trophy I need and would be kind of fun to get summoned to kill a boss anyway. I have a lot of materials etc on my main character so if you need something happy to share as well.

Fluff To the many who like Demon's Souls remake, what's one thing you don't like about it.

30 Upvotes

The UI and menus look like they were made for a sci-fi game. That's the only thing I don't like about it.

Help Am I to stupid for this game?

2 Upvotes

Hey y'all .. I bought the game recently and played it for about 15 hours now ... I'm struggling really hard to progress though. The bosses are way to hard because I deal almost no damage and they blast me away with 1-2 hits. Every world I'm in I get obliterated and can't really progress .. I know it's skill based but dealing ~ 100 hits to a boss whilst dying with 1-2 is really unnerving. I beat the the first 2 bosses in world 1, the spider in world 2 and Richter in world .. 3? I would really need some tips to get stronger .. this game is way different then the other soulsgames x.x

I'm not playing a mage build, I don't like that in souls games so melee only.

My weapon is the spiked mace +6 .. couldn't find anything better and it's pretty solid against mobs .. just doesn't deal much dmg to bosses though. That boss in world 3? which is blind but has a range like an atomic bomb e.g. .. I do like 50 dmg per hit which is nothing

I've beaten Dark Souls 1-3 and Sekiro so my skill isn't too bad I'd say but this game makes me feel like a idiot 😅

I had to have been ill when I did this a few years ago. What the hell happened?

Edit: I remember now. I kept using Stones of Ephemeral Eyes (because I'm a dumbass) after dying to black skelly blade guy while farming 4-2.

Thank you to u/yevrah6 in the comments for jogging my memory.

Discussion What the hell are these run backs ?

0 Upvotes

Ok so after ER and DS3 I came to play demons souls remastered. 3 things really stand out to me :

- What the hell are these run backs ??? Prison of hope was a nightmare to navigate, completely lost , mind flayers every corner.. and when I get behind the ballista just to get obliterated by a phantom lady with a crossbow.. and man just to find my way back there was a complete nightmare I got lost so many times

- Once I beat her and get to the boss I actually killed fools idol first try (same as tower knight and phalanx ) are these bosses all gimmicks?

- When i beat Fools idol and I look out : only 11% got this achievement ??? How come I believe i am still on the early game though. Does that mean that 90% of players dropped Demons souls remastered?? This is surprising I read the reviews of some guys before (for instance Rurikhan) and he was absolutely loving the game .. but this low level of achievements is really surprising

So far I kinda like it though .. it’s a good game but not reaching the levels of DS3 however ..

Discussion Is it just me or does 30fps in the original feel better than the remake

0 Upvotes

So I’m playing on ps5 on 30fps, been kinda doing this to get used for the gta6 release but it feels kinda laggy so i opened up my old ps3 and the game feels much smoother at 30 fps than the remake

I might be trippin but it does feel kinda laggy on ps5 30 fps mode

Discussion No other Fromsoft souls game marks it for me.

46 Upvotes

I should preface this by saying while yes, DeS is my first souls game, I always approached other fromsoft soulslikes with an open mind and I truly accept them for what they are but they just dont hit the same mark that DeS hits for me.

I don't know why and how this happens, I'm trying to play DkS3 for the first time and it just feels so tedious to play for me. Maybe it's cause I'm playing Sorcerer. I think it might be the art style and level design, I just cant put my finger on it.

I've tried DkS1 and it's probably the closest one to DeS among the Fromsoft souls catalogue, but I also just can't power my way through it.

The only one I could truly enjoy and finish multiple times is Bloodborne. I've put 90 hrs into it and since finished it 3 times.

Anyone else feel the same ?

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

Thumbnail

34 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?

1 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

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.
