I did the same, loved the Katana + 10 until I made the Furysword … later I missed the oppurtunity to buy firebombs
Yeah I got the platinum trophy when the PS4 version came out. I have 2 platinum trophies on psn, Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered :)
Then played the switch version for a bit in October. But I haven’t played the pc version…

Good thing I’m a pyromancer!
Suddenly I am the hipster. I have Demons’ Souls, Dark Souls (Asian import) and Dark Souls (Atlus US rls.)
Nice. I’ve thought about doing another Demons run and getting the remaining trophies. And I have all but one for Bloodborne, but it’s the chalice dungeon one. Blerg. I’ve done most of them, so I guess I’ll get it eventually.
Platinum trophies? Don’t they require some kind of ridiculous crafting achievements? Or was that only Demon’s Souls, which involved collecting stuff from fully white and dark worlds?
For Dark Souls you have to max out each enchantment and craft all of the boss weapons. Well, actually you just have to have all of the boss weapons on you at the same time, so if you had a friend who did it they could just give you the weapons. But if you want to do it yourself you’d need to get to NG++, beat Sif and get to the giant blacksmith, since you’ll need to create 3 weapons that all come from the soul of Sif.
You also need to collect all of the spells, which is kind of annoying because some of them require covenant ranks. Though that did get me to spend some time working for the Gwyndolin faction, which turned out to be a lot of fun.
For Demons I think you have to do light/dark tendencies and then just farm stones forever.

I had Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls both for PS3. Selling Demon’s Souls because I figured I would never get around to playing it again is like the only getting-rid-of-a-game thing I regret. Been waiting for it to go on sale on PSN for a price I can justify (selling it for $20 is pretty yech, but par for the console pricing course).
I assume this game is worth visiting at some point, yes? I know a little bit about it, but always thought maybe it was a super duper hardmode version of a soul’s game, it being the first and all that.

I like it and feel that the lore (if not the setting as a whole) is a little more coherent. I don’t remember it being particularly harder, although there’s no estus flask, healing is via consumable items which could theoretically (though maybe not practically) run out.
Since you’ve already experienced Dark Souls, you probably won’t find it all that hard like I did back in the day. One of the things I love about it is every time you boot up the game, you get a dragon’s eye view of the kingdom. I just love the start of the opening intro, and I let it play every time until the name “Demon’s Souls” comes up, then I load up the game. It’s a little thing, but it always gets me hyped to play. The game puts you in a Hub pretty quickly, where you can go to one of 5 worlds which are pretty different from one another.
You don’t have Estus flasks, so that’s different, instead you get health by eating herbs that fall from enemies. And there’s a dark/light thing that I personally ignored. But other than those things, it’s pretty close to Dark Souls in terms of how it plays.
They’re farm-able.
(It’s conceivable that you could actually screw yourself with Pure Black World Tendency, as fewer healing items drop on darker WT’s, but I think youd have to be really trying for that to happen).
Well this is encouraging. Definitely something to look forward to. It’ll be my final lap after I finish DS1-3, BB, and Sekiro. My gaming calendar is set. Gonna be fun contributing to all these oldish threads.
I would probably read a bit about World Tendency before playing Demon’s Souls, if you have any interest in 100%-ing, since there are limited World Tendency events (especially since the servers are offline now), but there’s nothing you can’t do in NG+.
(The short version is: always commit suicide in the Nexus after getting your body back).

This is one of the rare Dark Souls fights where I think you have to hit hard and as fast as you can. I think I have used Havel’s gear for this fight. The longer you take the more Kings join the fray. Congrats, in my opinion that is the toughest Boss fight.
By the way there is a shortcut, a jump down that you can make after crossing the first bridge.

Demon’s Souls has huge levels with shortcuts (of course) and you get only one bonfire after you defeat the boss of the level… so that’s pretty hard core. I love it nevertheless
Thank you! And that’s very good news. (I did discover that shortcut)
Managed to find my way back to the Asylum, which was a nice return to the past, and now I’m inside of a painting. Surprises at every turn.
After I finish up with the painted place, and hit up that area above Anor Londo, I think I’m going to conquer my fears and head back down into the Tomb of Giants. Which could end in victory, or another Friday night gripped by terror.

yeah, don’t forget to pay a visit to the wheel skeletons when you are there…

Considering picking up Dark Souls 3 Deluxe from Gamebillet for $19 even though I have never beaten either 1 or 2.
Oh, me.
