I understand you completely. It’s my first time playing, I’ve played all of the other souls games, and I just got across that bridge and hoped for a shortcut or bonfire but nope.... I waltz right into the Tower Knight boss arena.... I did good for a minute or two and then he one shots me....
Worth pointing out also that sometimes all you need to do to avoid fatrolling is remove one piece of armour like a helmet. There's a subsconscious desire to swap to an entirely different lighter set when that might not be necessary.
@@TheCheesewalrus Honestly yes, the faster the move the easier it is to roll away from harm or a one shot attack from a boss. I played half this game with no armor whatsoever and if I had kept my armor on fatrolling I would have beaten the game with much more playtime it already took me Atleast 26 hours just to beat it the way I did it.- If I wore my armor half the game that time would have most likely doubled!

Another good tip is to emphasize the difference between Demon's Souls and other Souls games: most Demon's Souls bosses aren't combat gauntlets like later games' ones - they're more akin to puzzle encounters. If you figure them out (or read a guide), they often become trivial. To a lesser extent, this also applies to the game as a whole; it leans much more heavily on obtuseness to create challenge. In many ways, this makes it the easiest entry.
I've just bought this game expecting a linear version of Elden Ring (my first Soulsborne game) and ohhh boy was I wrong. This game is kicking my ass way more than Elden Ring at the moment. Especially with the lack of checkpoints
@@angbald As someone who played Lost of darks souls 2 couple years ago and elden ring recently, this game is totally different. I'm on metal spider boss, just getting to boss section again and again even when I'm using mail breaker makes makes me want to burn that game forever
Good luck and don't rush through the game is my addvice, I'm on ng + 16 😂 Rocking that penetrator Armour to witch I love 😉 Unfortunately iv no Internet access so playing off line and running solo yet im having a ball experimenting with all the weapons and having fun 🥳 Strongest addvice is look up videos on the tendency system as its quite over whelming to get grips with and understand.
Very general tip: lure them out 1 by 1. Use the walll to your advantage. you can strike them first by hiding behind corner. And get a bow and arrow. Use arrows to wake them 1 by 1.
One of my early rage quit teachable moments lol. When I realized they only swarm ppl who haphazardly run in, the whole game got that much easier! 2 on 1 is way easier than 10 on 1 🤣🤣
Thanks Aoife. I’ve died so many times. The game is so damn good. Royalty class here and sounds like a small thing but I find it very hard to get used to changing quickly between weapons with the D pad...
@@davelanger and then equip a bow to your right hand secondary and a secondary weapon or shield to the left. Always helped me in a pinch especially if I ran out of magic or had a dual weapon/magic build.
wow, just wow! Thanks a ton for this very helpful guide! Been on the fence for a while now if I should buy this game for my PS5 or not. This guide helped me taking the right decision, thanks! :) Bought the game today and will dive into it soon. Wish me luck :)
Also if you need to upgrade a basic weapon, you can get hardstone and sharpstone (Strength and Dex, respectively) from the Straggly Man in 2-1 for 500 souls each. If you need more souls. 4-1 skeletons are a good source at 250 souls a pop. Just be mindful of their rolling. If you can pass through 4-1 to 4-2. There is a good early level and mid level soul farm at the beginning where you can kill the red-eye skeleton for 1200 souls and a reaper and its minions immediately following that for ~5000 souls. The best way to kill the reaper is through ranged attacks. It is resistant to magic though. Kill the reaper and avoid the summoned entities.
@@ReconArmorial I'm struggling too. Not going to Uninstall it because I'm having a tough time, though. But I have a lot to learn. It's so different compared to bloodborne.
@@ReconArmorial Wait what?! Where are you stuck at? I'm a Souls veteran and I might be able to help you with some pointers. Yes, this game is tough (easiest Souls game by a mile) but once you start leveling up everything becomes so much easier. If you don't mind me asking... What kind of character are you playing as? What is your playstyle? Are you moving slowly and being careful to pull only one enemy at a time? Have you practiced backstabbing your enemies?

@@chuck176 ok so I currently have a love hate relationship with this game - ATM not playing it actually, running through TLOU2 again for the first time on ps5 (delightful, by the way, compared to playing on ps4pro lol) anyway.....I absolutely loved it, thought it was fantastic and not too hard.....then I beat the first level.....since then I've tried 1-2, 2-1, 3-1 and back and forth and just fucking die ALL THE TIME and it's frustrating as fuck and I wanna rage sell the goddamn game. But it's just such a good game! 🤣🤣 I know once I pass this awkward learning curve stage and farm some souls and do the RIGHT upgrades (fucked up first two rounds of leveling up oops 🤷♂️) I'll love it so I'll grit my teeth after a little break lol.

While we do not have a shiny new PS5 in our living room....we do have an Xbox Series X and PS5 *physical in our master bedroom. One of the things I am kicking myself right now on is not picking up Demon Souls when I got our PS5 at launch (physical GameStop). I bought so many other games for our new machines that I thought...I played through Demon Souls on the PS3 many years ago (multiple times) and I'll wait for a sale." That was a mistake I rectified yesterday. As this is an extended weekend for me, I didn't stop until roughly 6:00 AM today.

My wife has caught some glimpses of Vaati's stream and Luke's streams, and seen me play the other Souls games; she said, "Even after seeing how balls hard those games are, hearing Aoife give these tips makes me feel like I could actually play it."
Nice little tip. If you die after a boss, immediately turn your PS5 off and back on. Once you launch Demons Soul, you will reload outside the boss door. Also, try to save 20k runes as I believe there is an ability or spell that let's you teleport to the Nexus.
@@tango8011 the levels are tougher than the bosses from my current experience. I just got the game. There is a lot to consider in game. Were you upgrading your weapons, leveling, and using the appropriate damage type, or did you just run out of time?
@@McGeistly I honestly can't remember. I think I got to the second boss. The giant dude with the archers nearby. I think I had upgraded my weapons to a decent level but just found it incredibly tough. Gorgeous game though. Loved the level design and architecture.
It’s actually a lot more useful to: 1) turn off automatic cloud backup, 2) save/quit right outside the boss arena, 3) upload save to cloud storage 4) proceed with boss fight, and if player dies, 5) download cloud save and boot activity from the activity card (this step takes about 30 seconds if online, less if playing offline) This way you’re restarting from a “checkpoint” without having to restart your PS5 and logging back into your user profile, entering passcode etc.
Haven't got a ps5 but I do want to get into "Soulsborne" games. I have been too intimated to buy one and suck at it though, so this does help a lot and hopefully I can pick up a disc copy of Dark Souls for ps4 relatively cheap :)
Just throught I'd leave my comment, I'm playing as a Knight and progressed now to NG ++ New players my STRONG ADVICE is research up all about the world tendency system and how it all works before playing e.g. pure black and pure white tendency) and know the difference and how they both affect u when playing the game, I didn't so BIG MISSTAKE !! i was playing as pure black tendency through the whole game and Omg was i getting my butt kicked ànd nearly totally gave up on the game 😤 Once i new how the world tendency system worked my life was ten times easier as i new what to do and what not to do to keep my character at pure white with being a new player 😉 Brilliant game that players end up give up on all because they are not fermiliar how the tendency system works.
Luv this game, but every time I save and then die I keep getting sent back to the very beginning... what am I doing wrong? Besides dying... (ps5) Thanx!
Haven't played a Soulsborne game, but watching Luke@Oxtra playing Bloodborne led me to Aoife and Johnny playing Bloodborne, then Ian playing OG Demon's Souls, and finally Luke and Aoife+Ian playing new Demon's Souls... Happy to watch content with any of you lovely people in to be honest... Anyway, just came here to claim my bonus point for the Dear Evan Hansen reference. Thanks Aoife!
Soooo I walked into Demon’s Souls after having played Bloodborne thru multiple times. I walked in like a cocky mf thinking “I’ve taken on Father Gascoigne, Lady Maria, Ludwig, and made quick work of them. I think I have this in the bag” Not even a full day later, I’ve died over 70 times on JUST the Lord’s Path. I’m walking away with my tail between my legs. I hate this game. But I love it at the same time.

@@Lord_Pistachio_Nut I believe it's a Prayer that the people of Bolertia used when the Colourless Fog and its Deamons arrived. She obviously got some trauma from the whole deal and is praying to her god for help.
Yea I definitely can never play this game and enjoy it. I love dark souls 1 and 3, and blood born they where all hard and enemies could hit like trucks especially some of them bosses ( fuck the nameless king and Ludwig ) but nothing ever seemed unfair at least to me. Demon souls says fuck you to all of that and places you into a fresh world overweight and with 50% of your max hp… oh and there is maybe 1 shortcut to each boss but zero in between checkpoints. The most basic concentration camp soldiers in the beginning area have fast 6 swing attacks and the come in groups of 3-5.
@@eaglebearer1580 haha I appreciate the push. I ended up doing a temporary trade to my bro for spider man. in a month or so I'll give it another shot :)
This was the last place I expected to hear Dear Evan Hansen lyrics and it sent me into a theatre kid fight-or-flight response of nearly breaking out into song. 10/10 video lol
The miner creatures in world 2 are weak to piercing and magic. So noyt only is piercing good for the narrow paths, but also muchbmote effective than slash on the enemies any way. I wonder if this was intentional.
Nostalgia? There's no way bluepoint would overlook such a simple task like an animation like that - unless it was by design. And nostalgia is the flavor of the month lol. That helps me sleep at night.
Don't have a PS5 yet, but got a copy for PS3 a while ago, might dig it out and give it a shot, has the game play changed at all or is it just a graphical update?
From watching Ian's PS3 play through on Platform32 the game play is very similar, but they have improved the controls for the PS5 version. Ian comments on this towards the start of episode 7 of his play though.
Ok so I’m not a pro gamer I usually play on lower difficulty but as time goes on I get better and better. With all that said is demon souls fair or will I just end up breaking my new controller ?
It seems considerably less frustrating than the Dark Souls games, if that helps. You can start on the lowest difficulty & do NG+ several times over if you like to ramp things up gradually.
I find it to be a fairly forgiving game actually.....as long as you're capable of learning from your mistakes/the world. You can only die doing the same thing so many times before your brain says "stop this madness! Go left instead this time" or etc. Lol. Honestly I think the difficulty of this game is WAY overhyped. Granted - I'm not that far into the game, 6 hours and 2-1 being my current playground but still. Even if this game is designed to get progressively harder, I don't think it'll ever be rage inducing.....you level up progressively too 🤷♂️ I'm no pro gamer either, but I come from the school of true rage quit inducing games i.e. regular Nintendo 🤣🤣 when you've beaten games like Time Crisis and Contra, nothing seems impossible 🤷♂️🤣😭
royalty is basically easy mode (i love it) but not recommended for those looking for challenge. early acess to spells totally trivializes the game up to 2-2
“Use grass as much as you think you need to get through the obstacles you’re facing.” I already do that in real life but not with crescent moon grass ya feel.

Worth pointing out also that sometimes all you need to do to avoid fatrolling is remove one piece of armour like a helmet. There's a subsconscious desire to swap to an entirely different lighter set when that might not be necessary.
So is the mobility gained from removing your helm the secret to an easier time acclimating to the game?

@@TheCheesewalrus trust me I get it but it’s so satisfying when you do finally get past a level you been dying on all day lol
@@eaglebearer1580 demon souls should be the final test for an anger management course lol
This was the last place I expected to hear Dear Evan Hansen lyrics and it sent me into a theatre kid fight-or-flight response of nearly breaking out into song.
10/10 video lol
Graphics are impeccable
The miner creatures in world 2 are weak to piercing and magic. So noyt only is piercing good for the narrow paths, but also muchbmote effective than slash on the enemies any way. I wonder if this was intentional.
9:35 was that a double meaning joke
Aoife just has a little cough is all.
I bought it played for awhile i rage its so hard I jus give up idk what to do
DEAR EVAN HANSEN OMG
It’s been how many years now? Why is the backstab and riposte animation still so janky!? Geez.
Nostalgia? There's no way bluepoint would overlook such a simple task like an animation like that - unless it was by design. And nostalgia is the flavor of the month lol.
That helps me sleep at night.
Dear Evan Hansen - it's the hard way, but it's the right way, the right way to break in a glove
I am dead scared to play this game as everything is a 1 hit death
Not quite
I tried temple knight rather than Royalty as I wanted to get better at melee games but fuck it. Going to royalty. Shits too hard lol
Don't have a PS5 yet, but got a copy for PS3 a while ago, might dig it out and give it a shot, has the game play changed at all or is it just a graphical update?
From watching Ian's PS3 play through on Platform32 the game play is very similar, but they have improved the controls for the PS5 version. Ian comments on this towards the start of episode 7 of his play though.
Heres a tip don't spend 2 hours cheesing the red eye knight and boss in the first level only to die twice trying to get a stupid leave losing 30k 😭😭🤢🤮
5* for the Evan Hansen reference in a souls video 😂😂
Well I got my Cyberpunk 2077 refund so I got Demon's Souls and really need tips to begin. Since I'm really not good at these games.
Just bought Demon Souls PS3 version but it hasn’t upgraded me to the PS5 version when I put the disc in. Am I doing something wrong?
Ps5 only supports Ps4 games, demons souls remake is a ps5 game, it's not the same as the ps3 disc
Is "Uphill Climb" a refference to Bojack Horseman? Cause if it is, genius.
I love that show

How do you put the firebombs in the diamond thing like in 9:30?
The equipment screen. Equip in your 5 items, then directional up and down to switch between equipped items
Was not expecting a Dear Evan Hansen reference at all lol
Ok so I’m not a pro gamer I usually play on lower difficulty but as time goes on I get better and better. With all that said is demon souls fair or will I just end up breaking my new controller ?
It seems considerably less frustrating than the Dark Souls games, if that helps. You can start on the lowest difficulty & do NG+ several times over if you like to ramp things up gradually.
Night Cat there is a difficulty setting??
@@hadrianaugustus3547 Sorry, poorly worded. The first playthrough is the easiest difficulty, and then you can repeatedly do New Game + to increase it.
I find it to be a fairly forgiving game actually.....as long as you're capable of learning from your mistakes/the world. You can only die doing the same thing so many times before your brain says "stop this madness! Go left instead this time" or etc. Lol.
Honestly I think the difficulty of this game is WAY overhyped. Granted - I'm not that far into the game, 6 hours and 2-1 being my current playground but still. Even if this game is designed to get progressively harder, I don't think it'll ever be rage inducing.....you level up progressively too 🤷♂️
I'm no pro gamer either, but I come from the school of true rage quit inducing games i.e. regular Nintendo 🤣🤣 when you've beaten games like Time Crisis and Contra, nothing seems impossible 🤷♂️🤣😭
Didnt really like this remake. It was the evil ending that killed my love for this remake. i get it, but was way too much.
royalty is basically easy mode (i love it) but not recommended for those looking for challenge. early acess to spells totally trivializes the game up to 2-2
I know some IRL merchants who will sell me as much grass as I like
im in world 1-3 and still cant access other archstones
Head back to the nexus and you get some more info and unlock them after you kill the first boss phalanx
Like 40 more levels of endurance
He’ll sell you as much grass as you want
Sticky white slime.... paus... clears throath.. looooool @9.35
I’d be very surprised if she’s even played the game
It'll be just my luck that when I finally do get a PS5 and demon's souls. I go to play as the royalty class...... They'll NERF it completely!
No fucking checkpoints? Dude wuuuut. I can't get past bolterra. I just don't have the patience. I get like 2 mjns further each attempt lol
“Right naoiw”
Please help me this game is murdering me
Combat feels clunky compared to Elden Ring. I can't really get into it. So far I've beaten one boss and became frustrated and stopped playing.
Instead of continuing on world 1 go back to the Nexus, level up and upgrade your weapon and try the first stage of a different world.
Are you saying "ye"?
1:11 Dear Evan Hansen
Sticky white slime.. hmmm..
God I love her accent. Whew...
“Use grass as much as you think you need to get through the obstacles you’re facing.” I already do that in real life but not with crescent moon grass ya feel.
I like this girl
Dear Evan Hansen?
