I hope this helps, sabby_e17 :)

I hate the 5-X worlds as well, but if you hated 5-1, then 5-2 is going to become your worst nightmare X_X

Oh no...I made that mistake as well when I first played the game, but with the Old Monk's Soul >_< 

I never found that location lol. No worries though.

I was so happy that I could finally start converting my Demon's souls into weapons/spells when I found Sage Freke that I used the Armoured Spider's soul to get that useless fire spell which I now never use, not realising that some souls have multiple purposes! Looks like I'll have to wait till NG+ for my Lava Bow :(

@CrazyHorse

Which did you get, Ignite?

The only spells I ever use now are Firestorm and Warding, eventually i'll start using SoulSucker and Soul Thrist for soul farming in NG+ or Acid Rain for PvP.

Also, at what Dexterity level are you? You can make a Sticky Bow +5 and it will have the same potency as the Lava Bow, plus at 30+ dexterity it will be even stronger than the Lava Bow.

I hate 4-1 and its arrow traps

am always pressing the L1 button and managed to avoid or the block the first one i

encountered, but in this time the arrows came from behind

i need to reach this place again without dying, i have a bloodstain worth 14000 souls


I hate Skeletons more than Dragons

@Nen-Suer

Be careful with the arrow trap that comes from both sides then, the best way that I found to avoid those traps is to just stick to the wall when I pressed the button, since the Arrows always travel along the central vector.

Also, to reach the bloodstain safely, fight each skeleton individually, kite them with an arrow and proceed slowly across the level. I lost quite a few bloodstains in 4-1 too, especially due to the Black Skeleton (Don't fight that one, unless you're absolutely certain of your dodging skills).

There is a blck skeleton 0_o

well....i managed to kill the Dual Katana Red eyes skeleton....is the black one stronger than him ?

Never mind Nen, that was the one I was referring, that skeleton's color is black :P Good job on defeating him :)

Also, there are Golden Skeletons with massive swords once you pass the Vanguard boss enemy.

lol, once i see red eyes i cant look ant where else xD

yeah i just saw these guys and i remember them from the opening video of the game

i used "soul arrow" to kill them, i trust my dodging...but not in a place like this :P

When you say passed..you mean passed right....coze i didn't fight him >_>

Now i reached the black fog....but its a looong way, don t tell me i have to repeat all that if...i mean when i die fighting the boss

cant they make a short cut like 2-1 :(

@Nen

There's a shortcut to get to Adjudicator location from near the start of the level, but it requires carefull rolling. So make sure you aren't burdened before attempting it. You don't have to sprint at the wall, and some have done it from a standing start at the right place.

When you enter 4-1, and you encounter the two archers shooting from above the first fog door, there's a tower to the right that you can access by climbing the stairs in the left tower and going across the rampart where the two archers are.

Remember, at the bottom of the right tower is where you pick up the copper key to free Blige, and there is a trap down there if you fall down. As you walk onto the top of this right tower from the walkway, you can go left around and down the stairs, or if you look right towards the far corner you will notice a part of the wall that is crumbled and is missing some blocks.

From the top of the tower, if you run and then roll toward the broken part, you will land on top of the tower wall instead of falling onto the stairs. Sometimes you will see a message on the ground like "Run Here" , and sometimes people leave a message on the top of the wall where you should aim to land.

Once you're there, look down and see where the wall below separates the starting area on the right (where you picked up the Talisman of God under the tree), and you can fall down to your left (down to where the HP regeneration ring is). This left path will take you right next to the area with the last staircase down to the Adjudicator (and it's a great way to rush the crystal gecko on the ledge).

This is from the Demon's Souls wikia, i've tried it myself, but only got it right one time out of 4 :P So in reality, there's a shortcut to Adjudicator, but it's really hard to get find it properly.

You don't have to fight the Vanguard, but you'll need his soul in order to make the Dozer Axe.
