Obviously I didn't mean Noob in a bad way, i still classify my self as a noob in Demon's Souls. Yet I am on my second play through and wanted to point out a few things. And I found it best to do whatever bad deeds you NEED to do early on for it will be easier to get rid of. Everytime you defeat a boss you will shift back towards white anyway. And that still is the only way of getting the Moss. Key(unless you know another way). You do not get it for killing him as a phantom(tried it). And I forgot the swords name but it IS the King's(King Allant who you Face later on) sword. Pure Clearstones can be obtained elsewhere if you need them badly. Try the platinum lizard things in World 2. Its a Rare drop but they do drop them. It sort of all depends on what you are going for really. |
Ok then, it's just that most people use noob as a derogatory term, that's why i'm a bit wary of the word ;)
As routsounmanman pointed out, if you talk to him in 1-4, he'll suicide and give you the mausoleum key.
World Tendency will shift towards White as you pointed out, but Character Tendency will not, and it's really hard to get White Character Tendency once again, as you'll have to kill the Named Black Phantom NPC's on each of the worlds when they are in Pure Black World Tendency.
Both Pure White and Pure Black Character Tendency are needed in order to obtain the Friend's Ring and Foe's Ring respectively, if you're going for the All Rings Obtained trophy and ultimately the Platinum.
Pure Clearstones are hard to come by, even by the lizards on 2-3, saving Ostrava in 1-3 is the easiest way to get one for the beginners ;)
Actually (now i'm being picky, sorry about it :P) Demonbrandt is Old King Doran's Sword. SoulBrandt is King Allant's Sword, and it's only dropped after you destroy the final boss of the game ;)
Edit - You'll get the key in 1-4, not from the Black Phantom Ostrava, but from Ostrava himself. Stop saying that you won't get it, you will. I've done 6 playthroughs in the game and have obtained the key in all of them using this method. Everyone in this thread will say you exactly this. http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/npc-ostrava
