I'm hoping some of you hard core Demon's Souls players can help me out. I have beaten the first two demons in the first level (the big blob with all the little blobs covering it and the Tower Knight) and I have beaten the Armored Spider in Stonefang Tunnel. But here's my dilemma:
When I beat the first two demons, I consumed the things they dropped so I could get a bunch of souls and didn't realize that you can trade those in for awesome spells. Now it seems I have missed out on the Total Protection spell. I have kept the one I got from the armored spider because I don't want to miss out on any more of these things, but am I going to be able to finish the game without Total Protection and/or is there any other opportunity to get that spell?
The thought of starting this game over again breaks my heart. I have 20 hours invested in it already and have done a TON of grinding. I have a powerful enough character built up to have beaten the armored spider in one try, so I'm reluctant to erase all that hard work. Am I screwed?
