Unfair is hitscan enemies in Build Engine games.
You got to know what to give Sparkly the Crow as a sacrifice and she reveals all kinds of secret hints like this.Yep. The grinding for bladestones and other rare materials is my least favorite part of the game.
In bloodborne, the item descriptions tell you that beasts are vulnerable to fire and other spider like enemies are weak to magic. Did they not do that for this game? I struggled to beat 1-2 boss with my +3 claymore. Came back with a +1 crescent falchion and he went down in two hits. So frustrating!
in bloodborne or souls it is always obvious that beasts do not like serrated damage or in dark souls that blunt damage is good against armor etc. It's kinda logical.Yep. The grinding for bladestones and other rare materials is my least favorite part of the game.

I’d say get the spear in 1-2 and use that in 2. That allowed me to grind levels for quite a while and then I progressed most of 2 and 3 that way. After that I was ahead of the level curve.well, decided to go spend a bit of time in 1-2, farmed some healing, not much but at least its some, and the fucking dragon bridge can fuck right off, that last section with 3 archers and 2 stronger blue eyed knights along with a Dragon breathing fire at you, its so much to take in at once sometimes, at least I know the boss is only there, but that run up to him is damned fustrating
and I'm taking a break from Returnal ffs
I shoulda summoned. I beat it while my spouse was sitting there beside me. I was talking and saying how I’ll probably die a bunch and then I timed all the things correctly and killed it somehow. My spouse was like, I’m so glad you beat that. You’ve been trying off and on for a couple weeks.When I got to 3-2 I thought my game bugged when "phase 2" happened.... fuck that fight.
I 'cheated' and summoned a rando to help.
u should be ashamed of yourself sirNow keep in mind, I've a souls vet
Those tunnels are still in my mind if I think about it and that’s over 4 months ago.well if You have to kill lava turtle bugs for 8 hours to get 5 chunks... that's not fun grind
Consider a shield for Armored Spider if you're having difficulty with the fireballs, if you aren't using one alreadySame boat man but im a little further along. 1-1 and 1-2 done. Cleared all of 2-1 and I'm at the armoured spider. Game crashed on me when he only had less than 1/4 left. Hard boss to melee against. Got his moveset down well enough I just always get clipped a bit here and there. Fireballs are hard to completely dodge.
Now I have to skip out and find some healing grass. I like the crescent falcon everyone's talking about so I'm gonna try and get that then head back to spider dude.
This is the game I play when I'm frustrated with Returnal
Ratchet and Clank will be a nice break between these other two.
So I'm going though all the PS5 exclusives atm and finally got around to DS despite owning it since launch and only playing maybe an hour or 2 (I played the original in 2010 as well) and my god is it kicking my ass.
Now keep in mind, I've a souls vet, I've finished pretty much every souls-like out there, but DS has really got me in a bad state here, for clarification, here is my game right now:
- 1-1 Complete
- No Healing Items
- No extra Soul Items
- No Souls
- A decent-ish weapon in a +4 Long Sword (the Stab from the R2 attack is saving me here)
- Starter Knight Armor
- No ability to be human, so always at half health
- The enemies barely drop enough souls for me to grind out and but healing, plus the Crescent Moon grass takes like 2 to fully heal
I'm lost in 2-1, but have the lift Shortcut, no healing items at all, so getting past the many miners, flame lizards and dogs is rough
3-1, 4-1 and 5-1 are non starters, though the Valley of Defilement is possibly the easiest start I've had since trying it, the Prison requires me to be able to heal or have some kind of Magic Shield
I know the solution is Git Gud, but god damn is that hard to do when any mistake is such a hard punish that I cannot recover from
Hit his heels until they start to spray and you shall see.Well, i managed to get to the Tower Knight, took out all the Archers and finally, time to attack the boss
17 damage per hit....
Great.....
I also got Soul Arrow, but it doesn't go past the shield or is quick enough to counter hit, this may take a while, but still, progress!

Fuck this asshole, on to 2-1!
I mean I'm most of the way through 2-1 already, got the lift working and now to turn the handle for the water wheel, if I remember right the Armored Spider isn't too far awayWell done! You're getting stronger.
I can feel the gid gudness.
I love that fight!I mean I'm most of the way through 2-1 already, got the lift working and now to turn the handle for the water wheel, if I remember right the Armored Spider isn't too far away
I love that fight!
We don't have enough good spiders to fight in videogames.
Have you set foot in Latria yet? 3-1 and 3-2 are the best worlds in Demon’s Souls and they’re even better in the remake. 3-1 is a bit frustrating the first time around, but when you know the ins and outs of the prison it’s like coming home again.
I’d recommend doing 2-2 and Dragon God first, so that you can upgrade your weapons at Ed first.yea, I had 0 healing so was pretty stuck there, that is my next location though
It's easily the hardest level in the game. I hated playing through it every time.Cleared it few months ago. It's a masterpiece. Perfect in every way. If you think where you are at now is hard wait until the boss runback to 'Old Hero' when you died in human form and two red skeleton phantoms are en rough alongside the reapers.
If you are struggling at the start I would going back and choose a magic based build, makes life easier.
Also aim for building up the Crescent Falchion to + 3.
I have never had to do this but one time i went in with the thief ring and they just couldnt find me. Are you sure you didnt have the thief ring equipped? They tend to fly off to the other side of the bridge, but always come back down. I am guessing that the thief ring messes with their pathfinding when they are so far up in the sky.The only part of Demon's Souls I found "unfair" is the Maneater boss, because the AI kind of broken and just has hard time navigating that narrow area and something refuses to come down, to point I have to kill myself to restart the fight.
There is a ring that negates fall damage. Cant remember where it is but im sure its in the game.OK, I can get to the Flamelurker easy enough, but damn is he fast, almost had him the first time, I got caught out when casting, there is barely time to heal in this fight
I will say, its kinda fucked to have the shortcut to him to be one that causes a lot of fall damage on the way
Edit: So thats 2 hard PS exclusives I'm banging my head against, 3 if I include some of Days Gone's Horde Bullshit, but I did finish that fine eventually
Hope Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart is a bit easier on me
You are ruining the game for yourself!I don’t have time for all the trial and error of DS, so I’ve been playing by following along with a YouTube guide. It’s a hassle to have my laptop next to me, and it detracts from the overall experience having to always pause and follow step by step. But it’s really the only way I’d be able to complete the game without losing my mind. I haven’t played in months because it’s such a mental investment. Definitely not something I like to just pick up and play.
