Thats all you need! Also if you platinum'd Bloodborne and beat Dark Souls 3, this game will feel like a cake walk to be honest. Just play however you think is most fun, its not nearly as fast paced and stressful as Bloodborne.

New to Demons Souls on the 12th - easiest most stress free way to play ?
- Thread starter Oracle
- Start date
Start with Royal, focus on magic, and the fact that you have the platinum for Bloodborne means it'll be pretty easy already. Demon's Souls is an easier game in general.
You'll be fine.
Hope you enjoy it, it's a masterpiece.

You only need to kill the first boss, which barely even tries to attack you.
If you already understand how to build a character and know the importance of upgrading your weapon you can really break the game. Enemies will deal a pitiable amount of damage and you'll cut through them like butter with a good weapon. Also there's a ton of shortcuts so bonfires aren't necessary. Bosses are also quite simple in comparison to the rest of the franchise.
Demon's should definitely be fairly manageable for a souls vet.
It's very early in 4-1. Just get naked and run past the enemies and grab it.
Demon's Souls - Crescent Falchion +1 location
The Crescent Falchion scales A with Magic and provides MP regen. Shrine of Storms 4-1

This is the way to do it.
The Souls game and Demon's especially are my favorites but I am no good at them and end up using co-op most of the time. However, DeS is the only one I was able to solo.
Playing as a magic user, I went to NG+++++ going solo the entire time.
if its the same as demon souls, royal starts with a spell and a ring that gives you passive mana regen, whoch i dont remember ever finding in demon souls when i played it. coupled with the fact that magic was pr4etty strong in demon souls and that you dont have any natural mana regen without using items or bonfires, you can play much more defensively and stay back and use magic on enemies, then wait for it to regen before continuing.
Demon's Souls is by far the easiest Souls game, just play it how you want. Summon if you're having trouble.
its been a minute since ive played, but i believe you get it towards towards the begining of the fourth archstone.
but once you beat the first boss in the first archstoneyou can goto any archstone you want, so its pretty accessible.
Demon's is the easiest of the whole series/franchise/thing. After playing BB and DS3 you will have no problems, you might even wonder what all the fuss was about.
I think doing all of 2 after 1-2 is the hard route, but perhaps the most common one. I think a lot of players get stuck on the first two bosses of that area. But 4-1 is a cakewalk and the enemies there give a tonne of Souls (and if I recall, upgrade materials too).
But that shuts off other stuff too doesn't it, like the hints and coop? I actually thought invasions couldn't be disabled. If they can be that helps the case, anyway. Thanks!
Is there a lot of exploration or is it mostly linear?
I remember Bloodborne had lots of shortcuts

Depends on the area, but some levels are labyrinth-like and have a lot of paths to treasure and other secrets. Others are fairly linear. Some areas don't have shortcuts, so the run to the bosses can be quite long afaik.
The game is honestly not that hard. It's kind of intimidating but when you get right down to it there's like 2 or 3 somewhat difficult bosses.
If you've platinumed Bloodborne and beat DS3 you'll sleepwalk through most of this game.

I understand the frustration.
That being said, I plan to do many invasions.
There's two forms your character can be in: human form and soul form. You can only be invaded in human form, but you can also only do co-op in human form. You get messages in both forms. I consider soul form to be the "default" form.
Other downside to soul form is that you have reduced HP.

Can someone explain how coop works please? I played Bloodborne and think I remember that when you summon Simone to your game the come as a weaker version of themselves. And progression doesn't count for summoned players, they can't collect items etc.
Is that the same here? You can't just coop with someone through the whole game once you have I presume some summoning item?

I'm so excited; I was pure magic user when I played the HK import 4 million years ago but I want to go out of my comfort zone and start a melee class. Are there any other builds outside of basically sword and shield? lol
Yeah, that's the trade off I remember now. Can you turn off invasions in the remake and still have full HP?
Thanks. And I hope never to meet you in DS. š
One tip for invasions, if you aren't in the mood or someone is super annoying equip tower shield and scrap spear, everyone loses with that combo and they will regret invading you.

If you've played and beaten Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne you pretty much know what exactly to expect from this as it iS very much much like those games with a bit of inventory management and a bit slower than Bloodborne . You should feel right at home
When you're going into unknown areas, always walk with your shield up and look for ambush points or visual cues that bad shit might go down.
There is the cling ring, which increases your max health in soul form from 50% to 75%.
What about Sekiro?
I found Sekiro much easier than Bloodborne (I've beaten both including all 4 Sekiro endings). And right now Im really struggling in Hollow Knight.
