Help Weekly Tendency Help Thread

41 Upvotes

Welcome Slayers of Demons! We on /r/demonssouls understand that from time to time, you may need assistance adjusting the world tendency of your game to help you along in your playthrough, or maybe you require some help attaining the online trophies like 'Return to Form'. However, since the release of the PS5 Remake, this subreddit has been spammed with hundreds and hundreds of threads begging for world or character tendency or online trophy help, and it detracts from the overall experience of the subreddit. Because of this, we have added the following rule:

No tendency & trophy help requests outside of the pinned threads, nor begging for in-game items.

You can read the full rule, here.

To meet those who are making these posts in the middle, we now have weekly threads dedicated specifically to requesting help with world or character tendency, or online trophies. In addition, we would like to remind you of the following resources, which might provide you with more immediate help!

You may use this thread only to request help with your world or character tendency, or online trophies; and to offer help to others. Off-topic comments will be removed.

Have a great week! :D

Story First play through and I did it horribly

33 Upvotes

So it's my first time playing demon souls (remastered) and I was doing Boletaria, I thought that the game would naturally lead me to the other archstones like it did for the tower knight, needing to go kill an arch demon to unlock further access. So I kept doing boletaria thinking I'm naturally gonna go to other places, but it never happened and I spent 18 long hours fighting and dying in it until the final boss. After defeating him I searched it up and realised i killed the second to last boss in the game and i can't continue without defeating the other archstones. I completed the final part of the game heavily under leveled and under armoured because I thought the game would naturally lead me to other places. I thought the difficulty was because it was the first souls game so I didn't really think much of it. Just wanted to rant because I'm kinda proud but disappointed because the other areas are now really easy and I'm finding stuff that would've been amazing while I was getting my ass kicked.

Help Help

I’m looking for someone to help me soul farm as I’m wanting to record an “OP Run” for YouTube but I can’t find anyone to help me soul farm them for a bit so that I can actually bump my stats a decent bit before I actually start the playthrough. I’d really appreciate any help that someone could provide. Thank you for reading 🙂

Platinum Ephemeral Stones

12 Upvotes

Is there seriously no better way to farm other than the babies in 5-4? Trying for the plat and getting everything from pure white to black is like pulling teeth.

Also I’ve tried helping at every boss on the way for that trophy, during regular hours, Canada East servers, and the only nibble I’ve got was to randomly be the Old Monk boss. Is there a highest probability boss for jolly cooperation?

TIA

Help Demon's Souls PPSA01341 — does a standalone update (01.005/01.007) exist separately, or only as full merged game releases? Also: anyone running v01.000.000 on KytyPS5?

0 Upvotes

Question for people who know how PS5 packages circulate.

I have Demon's Souls (PPSA01341, EUR) at base version 01.000.000, extracted

and running on chenxiao07's KytyPS5 (Linux build v20261020). The game boots,

menus/HUD/audio work, gameplay is controllable at ~37 FPS — but the 3D

rendering is severely corrupted, and the emulator log shows why: it reports

an "unknown build" and skips all of its Demon's Souls-specific patches

(idle wait, libc.prx copy, scene guards). Every tester I can find uses

01.005.000 or 01.007.000.

Every "patch 01.007" listing I find turns out to be ~50 GB — i.e. the full

game at that version, not an update package.

So, two questions:

  1. Does a standalone update PKG (A0105/A0107) for this title exist as a

    separate file at all, or do PS5 updates only ever circulate merged into

    the full game?

  2. Has anyone gotten 01.000.000 rendering correctly on KytyPS5, or is

    01.005/01.007 a hard requirement by design?

Story Just lost 3000 souls in the nexus

21 Upvotes

Yeah so basically I defeated the Phalanx on the first try and had 3000 souls afterwards. In the nexus i was told to talk with some ancient guy on top of the whole thing and I really didn’t want to bother climbing the stairs back down so instead i jumped xD
Ofc died, panicked that I fucked up the progression since now I didn’t have any souls to level up, rushed to the gates of boletaria, cleared up the entire location, gathered another 3000 souls or so and fucking died again (this time falling off one of shortcut towers) only to find out that the souls I have gathered are left in the place where I first jumped and not in the actual place of death, meaning that I have lost like half an hour farming while I could have just collected the souls in the nexus
Lesson learned I guess, fucking loving the game so far btw

Co-Op Help! Looking for Meat Cleaver

1 Upvotes

I am currently looking to complete the platinum, but I am severely underleveled (level 75 in NG+). I’m a strength/dex build looking for a weapon that will actually do decent damage to enemies right now. I’m thinking the meat cleaver is the key.

I can’t get to the Adjucator again to get his soul for it but I’m wondering if someone would be willing to drop the weapon for me. I can trade you a gold coin for it or something else. But I’m so desperate for something that’s actually helpful because I’m ready to give up on NG+.

Question Original 2009 OST not on Spotify?

11 Upvotes

Most likely no one here knows why but I was wondering why the original 2009 ost isn't on Spotify and only the remake is? I know Sony has been really bad in the past with adding soundtracks to Spotify (The Old Hunters Bloodborne DLC ost) but I don't see any good reason why the 2009 ost isn't on Spotify. I only ask because I really love the original "One Who Craves Souls" and feel like the remake kind of ruined it. Thanks to anyone who helps me out with this one.

Discussion Need Advice for platinum

7 Upvotes

So i made the mistake by consuming the first three bosses souls instead of keeping them (phalanx, towerknight, armored spider). But i started keeping all after . Flamelurker, Adjucator and i just finished Dragon God. Now since i have heard that one must play atleast 2.5 playthroughs to get the platinum throphy which honestly i don‘t see myself doing it since the difficulty gets very high on just the first ng plus.

1.Is it possible to get the two boss throphys (magic and weapons) thru the cloud save trick or not.
Because i thought i could just keep from now on all boss souls until i reach armored spider in new game plus and just do the cloud trick there.
Am i missing something?

  1. Iam playing the standard knight class and i would like to know if my leveling method is any good.
    Since i am coming from bloodborne i focused on vit, end, strength and skill

    Vitalität: 21 
    Intelligenz: 14 
    Kondition: 21 
    Stärke: 19 
    Beweglichkeit: 19 
    Magie: 10

Help Softcaps?

4 Upvotes

From what I've seen the softcaps are on the levels 30 and 50

But is it worth it to go more than 30? Maybe only with S scaling weapons?

And my main question is, does strength work like in dark souls were two handing simulates having 50% more strength?

If so, what are the softcaps for strength when two handing?

Discussion Lady astraea

22 Upvotes

The greatness of FromSoftware lies in how it draws inspiration from real historical figures and myths from all around the world. For me, it’s one of the best things that has ever existed in video game history, alongside Kojima’s work.Lady Astraea draws inspiration from the Greek goddess Astraea, symbolizing justice, purity, and innocence. Both share a connection to truth and virtue, but their stories also reflect tragedy and loss. In mythology, Astraea left Earth as humanity fell into corruption, while Lady Astraea’s story echoes the pain of a tragic fate, marked by the loss of hope and the collapse of justice.Thank you for reading!

Discussion I hate this game

0 Upvotes

I am level 58 magic build. I helped this one assassin get out of his cage hoping he will sell some cool gear or something. Nope. He killed all my magicians and now I can’t attune a different spell. What a stupid design. I lost joy of trying to become a strong mage. I played all other soul games as str, dex, faith build and one time I try mage and I’m locked. I don’t even want to finish this game anymore…

Help Where is Yurt if he kills you after freeing him. (PS3)

11 Upvotes

So, I usually free Yurt and kill him right away but this time, I hit him with my Meat Cleaver removed 80% of his health, then, I don't really know happened but I fell off the platform and died before killing him.

Anyone know where he is now? I know he's supposed to go to the Nexus after killing a boss (which I haven't done). He's not at the Nexus. He's not on the platform near his cage. So anyone know where I can find him in this instance?
