You're gaining 20% extra souls, but you become a beacon for the enemies, so the overall hostility towards your character increases. Platinum can only be achieved on NG+++ since some Demon's Souls from bosses have four different uses. |
Hmmm...I do use the ring of avarice a lot, but it doesn't seem to ALWAYS give me that red flame. I noticed it for the first time on my NG+ yesterday, and I'm over half way through it (I also noticed it once or twice on the first game...primarily during the Shrine of Storms missions).
Planning on going through the game many, many times, so I'm not worried about the Souls for the different spells/miracles. More the rings/weapons you have to get in certain world tendenices. And farming to some extent, but I'm really not even close to worrying about that yet....:)
Did start farming souls like crazy last night though with the ring of avarice and soul sucker by going backwards on 3-3. My strength is finally high enough to equip any weapon now.....just need to work on dexterity next (started out primarily as a magic user).
