Yeah. Royal to start and learn the game and then another to master it lol

Hope you have fun with Royal, as the MP regeneration from the get go allows you to tackle harder enemies faster than other classes can ;) When you start, in 1-1 you can actually defeat the Red Eyes with a Royal, and it will net you a sweet 2,5K souls, which is way above anything you can get at that stage of the game.

Also, when you defeat the first boss, Phalanx, don't use it's soul to augment your own souls, all bosses souls can be used to upgrade weapons or learn new spells. You can find the list here: http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/bosses

Thanks will do that. Also, isnt there a ring in 1-1 that will let me have 75%HP in Soul Form? Where do I get it?

Actually as a general question, is there a lot of exploring to be done on the levels?

The ring you're looking for is the Cling Ring. You'd get it once you reach the top of the first tower in 1-1, then going down all the way in the starway, and opening the door to the central patio. In that space of the door, there's a body with the ring.

There's tons of exploring to do in most levels, while in others it's fairly linear. In others, you'd have a huge area to explore, but there's a huge hazard on the very floor that you're walking (5-2 will haunt your nightmares xD).

Thanks. I am trying to prepare myself mentally to endure a lot of frustration, lol.

I will probably order it on monday, then its just waiting till I get it.

Hope you have fun with the game :)

You'll have to endure some very frustrating moments, and my tip from when you face those is to just lay down your controller and try again when you're less frustrated, trust me it helps a lot ;)

Oh, I know! There were a couple of Spec Ops missions on MW2 that made me want to throw the controller on the TV but I took a break and got it after.

So Im probably gonna take long breaks from DS

Hehe xD Haven't tried MW2, but i've heard that the Echo Spec-Ops missions are a huge pain.

If they are half as hard as some stages in Demon's Souls, then yes, be prepared for a long break sometimes :P

My biggest one was when I lost 400K souls due to a single stupid mistake of dodging towards a cliff, after I had died and lost the 400K souls due to a pincer attack. Just like that, 4 hours of work and grinding, 6 Soul Levels lost... I just wanted to punch the PS3 xD

Ouch! I hate losing half an hour of work. Losing 4 hours.

Im gonna buy something cheap and plastic that resembles the PS3 controller to throw around the room when something like this happens

Hehehehe, while you're at it, get me one as well please, I'll need it for when I restart all over again in the game :P
