Dragon Bone smasher is a fine PVP Weapon as long as you have high STR and know how to use it.

1-4 won't put you in the end game unless its the last Final boss of an Archstone you have left. But yes, once you clear the game you can't level up again in newgame+ tell you beat Phalanx.

Vitality, Endurance, Strength for melee and Intelligence, Faith and Magic for casters. Some stats have diminishing returns after a certain point.ACE 1991 said:
My neighbour keeps on surprising me :lol Not only did he kill the red-eyed knight once, but thrice. He died a couple of times on the way to the dragons but alas, they were nowhere to be found due to server whiteness 
Oh well, free PFS! With some helping tips, Phalanx was defeated on the first try :O The game wasn't that hard all of a sudden. I sent him to 4-1 :lol And thus, he was brought down to earth by the very first skeleton. I told him to steer clear of the red-eyed skeleton but he managed to cheese the last one to death with soul arrow. Unfortunately, he lost his 9000 points to the boss And I fell off a cliff trying to reach the boss again for him so bye bye But I collected almost 11k for him.
Then he dies AGAIN, with 1-2 hits left on the boss :lol Great evening all in all xD This guy is the luckiest SOB on the planet imho. Countless times have he survived encounters with a sliver of health left, looking almost like the game is glitched >_<

Finally got both monk head wraps. That old monk event is pretty fun. Each one I fought against was a mage. First match, I kept pressing R1 stupidly. He wailed on me. I introduced my DBS to his face and again and again and again. It was a cat and mouse game, also a good learning experience. Second match with my other character. This mage was using the Large Sword of Searching and a DSS. Waited for his warding to wear off, but then he started casting more flame tosses. Sent him flying a few meters. He rolled and tried to attack, I rolled and smack him. He's at 1/3. He attempts to take a grass to heal. He healed. I rolled to him and smack him again. He's now against the wall. I wait until he's almost standing and I smack him for the final time. I used second chance and had death cloud, just in case, but I kept forgetting to cast it. Was to nervous and just forgot.
Before the servers go down March or April 2011, you gotta do the old monk event. I noticed my hp was much higher as the black phantom in that one. Had 1540 hp with cling ring. I only have 1100 hp in body form! This is only 1v1. Not sure if it scales 2v1 or 3v1.
Wearing that monk head wrap is hilarious. :lol

I finally got the Monk's headwrap too. I guess I'll just add it to the collection. It's one of the dumbest things in the game for me to see other people running around with.
I ended up being summoned by Old Monk, and then the Mind Flayers must have killed the other player, he never made it to the room

The true bad dudes slay Tower Knight by stabbing his ankles with a dagger. I cheesed him with soul arrow the first time but it felt so much better when I took him down like a real man.
Fuck, this reminds me that I need to be playing this for the WT events. I'm on a new file and I need all of the exclusive weapons and stuff before it's over. Sucks I'm too busy with other games.

Man, I sold this game after it completely took over my life after launch. I just rebought it and I am almost back to zero in terms of remembering the mechanics.
I had forgot how absolutely, fantastically oppressive the world is and how the atmosphere clings to every polygon.
I got to figure where to start again.

ok I bought this and you bastards were completely right, brilliant game, wonderful atmosphere. Never felt such fear as when belting through 1-1 to get to the bloodstain with 9k souls in it. Started with a royal - not sure about how to use the souls efficiently, i'd like a good spell user with reasonable melee, the soul arrow you start with helped a lot - if you guys have any ideas on what gear i should look for, attributes to focus on it would be much appreciated Like, how the hell do i get more spells?
Just using the equipment i started with so far, beat boss at end of 1-1, firebombs which i previously thought were useless suddenly came into their own. Am feeling comfortable so far but nothing too obscene has happened yet. Spent a load of souls on my magic and randomly improved a few others but without any idea re what i'm doing. Also forged my sword and buckler with the blacksmith dude, dunno if that was a good idea? Also saved my first demon soul, consumed all the others, i mean demon's souls must be important given the game's name yes?

Read the 3 stickies on here, they tell you a bunch of stuff you'd never learn otherwise.

As for which build you should go into, try reading up on some of these builds and picking one

don't get too comfortable
don't consume demon's souls. they're good for learning advanced magic or miracles or forging special weapons

if you want the game to be more engaging or even scarier, don't rely on magic or ranged weapons too much. Going up close and personal, face to face with the enemies will make the game that much more interesting and difficult.
Also some bosses don't deserve to be cheesed with magic or ranged weapons, they're so fun to fight with melee weapons
I traded in the game before beating it due to an overflow of other games and school and kinda regret doing it. However I'm not sure if I want to rebuy the game when I know the online servers are going down Spring 2011 and there is a spiritual successor coming out in 2011.
Do you think the game will still be good in the future without the online component? Won't it become basically impossible to get the Pure World Tendency stuff without the global server Pure events?

Servers only confirmed to be staying up until March 2011. Could go down any time after that. I would imagine that they won't be keeping the servers up past the release of Project Dark.

Ok, maybe this would be a good time to confess: I have no idea what I'm doing in this game. I don't understand the basics of the game I think. I'm a level 21 Barbarian. I have some okay armor, and a decent sword (I guess). I never can figure out where to go and how people find these amazing weapons. I can't even figure out how I got to level 21. Is there a good beginners point for someone who has just been winging it and is ready for the next step?

thanks, seems there is a LOT to look into. The builds I'm unsure about, they are for super hardcore PvPers it seems, I just want something to get me through the SP and have some fun. I won't be able to compete against people who can work out how to build those beasts
and i've got myself some nice rings from those posts, thanks.

I was the same way. Trust me, the more you play Demon's Souls, the better you come to understand it.
My advice, if you're having trouble in a certain area, go elsewhere and level up a bit more try getting better weapons. All the worlds have unique items that are really awesome. Also remember that certain monsters are vulnerable to certain attack types (piercing/slash/bash/etc.) If you're having problems killing stuff, it's probably because you're using the wrong weapon.

only the Atlus edition has global server events. achieving pure's offline has not a problem for those with other editions. though frankly, US does get it easy in that regard
