[@jeremywertz7278]

I may still have the demons souls guidebook from the ps3 version lying around. Even kept my 1989 Nintendo power Super Mario 3 guide

The game is pretty linear, this is probably one of the only RPGs that I didn't need to look up a guide.

[@HI-pi1er]

@@Johneyap crafting and finding things linear no . Level design linear yes

[@Johneyap]

@@HI-pi1er 100% agree with that, as I was typing the previous message I realized I was looking up world tendency LOL Dark souls is definitely more straightforward than demon souls And although the level design is technically linear, you could really get screwed around if you go to the wrong areas first That's why I love this game so much choose your own adventure, your own play style, your own everything It is truly a masterpiece

If you want the Dragon Bone Smasher GS and don’t have pure white tendency you can go to the rubble blocking the sword, quit the game, set graphics to “cinematic” reload, and you can clip through the rubble. This also works for clipping through the first broken pillar towards the ballista in the Dragon God fight.

[@SolarisFallen]

[@Uuuung]

What a great video again! So happy i found your channel mate. I have to ask before i change world to pure black. I need upgrade materials for my Kris Blade. 1. If I have understood this correctly. If I want to have pure black on an area, Let's say at 1-1 I want to get pure black tendency. If I take suicide enough times in human form, will this 1-1 part become a completely black tendency right? 2. When you have got a world completely black, do you look for Primeval Demon and kill it for a Colorless Demon Soul? 3.If I have killed the boss in 1-1 when the world tendency was neutral. Can I after the bossfight turn it into pure white or pure black? If yes, how do I get it pure white again when I have already killed the boss? 4. If I die a lot in 1-1, will the pure black tendency affect the entire archstone from 1-1 to 1-4 (or just 1-1)? 4. If I want to do pure white missions or pure black missions, in what order do you recommend doing it? Ty again for this great video!

[@AshenOneGaming]

1) Yes 2) Yes 3) Get a friend to PVP with. Summon them in as an invader and they let you kill them over and over. Whatever world you are in will see it's Tendency shift! (So will your character tendency) 4) World Tendency applies to the WHOLE world, all areas :) 5) I would always play a playthough in soul form to get all Worlds to Pure white and do all the NPC stuff. Then keep killing yourself to get Pure Black in each world. Pick up any items, Kill Black Phantoms and get Colorless demons souls if you can. Try to go into NG+ with neutral tendency for worlds :)

[@Uuuung]

​@@AshenOneGaming Ty:) about nr 4. You say "World tendency applies to the whole world in all areas". A little unsure if I'm misunderstanding here. If I die a lot on archstone 1-1 to 1-4 then this archstone will be pure black. But will this affect archstone 2-3-4 and 5 also? I thought the archstone world you are in, is the only archstone world that is affected at a time.

[@AshenOneGaming]

@@Uuuung NP :) World Tendency is for the WHOLE world! If you die in 1-1 in human form you are lowering the WHOLE world’s tendency. This means ALL areas! Doesn’t matter which area you are dying in. There is no specific tendency linked to an area or arch stone :)

[@Uuuung]

@@AshenOneGaming ok i see, well that is very nice to know:) But do the world tendency go towards black everytime i die (if i not use the "nexus tip"). Is this correct: - If you are human form and go to nexus and die = Will not affect world tendency anything. BUT: - If I am human form and die = lowering WT towards pure black - If I died as a human and continue to die in soul form (not going to nexus and die = Also lowering WT towards pure black?

[@AshenOneGaming]

@@Uuuung Dying in Human form in a World = Moving toward Pure Black. Dying in Soul form in a World = NO change in world tendency at all Dying in Nexus In Human form = NO change in world tendency at all. Dying in Human form in a world and then continuing to die in Soul form only counts as one human form death towards pure black. Dying in soul form does nothing to World tendency :)

Thanks for the vid', now I can actually make sense of the icons I'm squinting at.

[@susielund1030]

Very informative video my friend. I would love som help with understanding something you say in the video: "If you manage to kill a worlds black phantom and a world primeval demon without resetting the world in any way = going from pure black to white" a) If you kill a black phantom npc in black world tendency, will you then be able to talk to him when the world is pure white? Or vice versa, if you talk to him in a pure white world tendency, will he then afterwards appear as a Black phantom in a pure black world tendency? (You must not choose between pure black or pure white to do the different missions - or do you ruin the mission in black if you do the mission in white with the same character`? b). And not least if you want to get an area pure white when you have killed the boss, is it possible to influence this by helping others in the same area as the blue phantom where they summon you to help? Then you go in nexus kills yourself, and repeat (go back helps like a blue phantom again and back to nexus and die)?

[@AshenOneGaming]

Hey Susie! So with the first point. If say in world 1-1 you kill Miralda as a Black Phantom. You can then run through to the primeval demon in 1-3 and kill it. As long as you don't warp to archstones in the world, warp out of the world to another or warp back to the Nexus the World Tendency won't change :) A) Just to be safe here. Get to Pure White and do whatever the NPC might want you to do. You can then kill them in their human form and they will still appear as a Black Phantom when world tendency goes to Pure Black. Im not sure if they appear in human form if you kill them as Black Phantom first B) Being a blue phantom won't help your World Tendency. Best thing to do here is get a friend who has the Red Eye Stone so they can put their PVP sign down. You summon them in as an Invader and they let you kill them over and over

[@susielund1030]

@@AshenOneGaming Thanks alot:) When a friend invades me and I kill him, I get a pure white tendency. But then, if I help a friend and invade him and I die over and over again, then my world goes over to pure black world tendency right?

[@AshenOneGaming]

Hey Rodrigo! Tbh this might be the best comment I’ve had on a video! Nice to meet you mate!

[@MrFaithlessAtheist]

This is very helpful, again! But, seeing how world tendency, well...tends to change with each (major) action, what would you suggest for let's say "smoothest" play through/transition with them? Where would be the starting point (I am assuming pure black world tendency moving towards pure white?). This is the most confusing part, explanation itself is great! Thanks man, keep up the good work!

[@AshenOneGaming]

Hey! Really sorry for the late reply! I would always start from neutral as you do anyway. Try not to die in body form and once you have cleared all the worlds they will all be at Pure White. Then, at the end of the game you can do a sweep of all the PWWT events in each world. Once done, just start dying in body form to lower world tendency using Stone of Ephemeral eyes. (These stones can be bought from the Filthy Woman in World 5-1 and 5-2, one at a time. Buy it, use it and go back for another, rinse and repeat) When you get to PBWT you can do all the events in each world. What I would massively advise is that you kill at least the primeval demon or NPC black phantom in each world to bring the world tendency back to at least neutral before you go into NG+ :D Hope this helps!

Went to the top of the tower with the preachers and got that key, back to the jail to release that guy, but then the rubble is still in my way of the loot.

[@jackcall3815]

So do I have to do these on different playthroughs? Like right now I am doing my first play through and getting all the white tendency stuff, Do I need to start a new game plus to do black tendency? Or in the same playthrough can I take a bunch of ephemeral stones and keep dying to switch it to black and then do it? Hopefully that makes sense. I’m assuming a new playthrough is needed

[@tearfullarc2089]

So what im getting from this video is that world tendency is complicated. Great welp looks like im going to do multiple playthroughs on different characters

[@mushroomme64]

I know I’m commenting on a two year old video, but I have a question. Am I locked out of getting pure white if I die in body form too many times?

Just subscribed! Thank you. Ofcoarse I died in human form during Dragon God. No sword....o well.. the more you know!! Thank you!

[@theruleofdarkness]

those special areas, are they closed again after backchanging your pure tencency or are they always open after you reached one of the pure stats once?

[@cornerxstone]

Excellent video as the previous ones! I have a question, I killed Ostrava at the beginning to get the demonbrandt, now how can I get the world tendency to pure white? I killed already tower knight, phalanx of course and the red dragon. Also, the fog gate where the tower knight appears is still there. Thank you.

[@AshenOneGaming]

So to get through the fog gate you need to kill an archdemon (Any last boss of another world) Once you do this you'll get an item which lets you through the fog gate at Tower Knight Archstone. Defeating the Penetrator boss and False Allant boss in World 1 should be enough for you to get pure white world tendency (you may get it after Penetrator boss).....But, this might not happen if you have been dying a lot in body form. What is your current world tendency for world 1? Also, remember, 'World' tendency has no effect on Demonbrandt's power. It's your 'Character' being Pure white that maxes the power of the sword :)

[@cornerxstone]

@@AshenOneGaming Hi! First off, cheers mate! It is great to see how engaged are you with the viewers, thumbs up (again). I think my character tendency is also neutral, still I am enjoying the demonbrandt because its raw power is higher than any starting weapon. I am thinking actually on getting those famous ceramic coins as well. I just started a new game play actually (not NG+ but with a new character) and I know that to get them, besides switch to the fractured world, you need to be at pure world tendency (white or black). So that is why I got stuck with changing the world tendency at world 1, because of killing ostrava. Thank you.

[@meinsouza]

Its bullshit how much this influence the game

[@lorensnici5419]

Thanks for this! Can you do a "pure black" and a "pure white" run on a single playthrough? I.e, I go to world 2 in pure white, meet Scirvir etc, and then I come back to world 2 later but with pure black and kill his phantom. All in the same playthrough. Is this possible or do I need to do it in subsequent playthroughs?

[@AshenOneGaming]

Co op and PvP can help you alter world tendency as much as you want! Basically you can get a friend to drop you loads of stones of ephemeral eyes. So you can keep dying in body form in a world to get it to pure black. When you want to change it back to pure white you can ask a friend to invade you in a world and let you kill them over and over until it goes back to pure white. :)

[@TarnishedZorro]

I killed the black phantom in 4-1 through gravity but it didn't change the world tendency. Does the ring, which increases your health in soul form have any influence on the tendency?

[@AR-fh4qu]

as someone who played demons souls after dark souls maybe tendency was an unrefined version of hollowing?

[@iamsantossilva]

Is there any way to go back to pure white? Also, I’m still in pure black after killing the black phantoms and gooey monster. They do not reappear

[@guyfromnj]

So, once you get pure black tendency and meet one of the phantom npcs can you kill them as a phantom and then change back to white tendency will you still be able to deal with them or are they forever dead? In other words do you need to do a black play through and a white play through to see everything? Or is it possible to do both in one play through?

So in the first level I've died in a full body Am I still able to earn pure white after or do I have to restart cuz I do want to reach pure White where the first two bosses are does that mean I'm fuck or not

If you’ve killed the bosses in an area and you’re playing offline is there any way to increase your world’s tendency? Doesn’t seem like it’s as easy to get pure white as it is to get pure black.

Thanks for this information 🙏🏿. Maybe ng+ will try and be more careful. I was pure white when i beat all the bosses but later on died in those same world and lost my pure white. Is possible to regain pure after the bosses are all slained? Sorry I'm 2 years late, only just learnt about this game.

For 1st playthrough you need to stick with white or black tendency per world?

I use Latria to play as a black phantom a lot, so would this explain why - after defeating Fool’s Idol (and the regenerator) - suddenly Upper Latria was removed from my game and I had to do the entire first part all over again?

If I kill all bosses in a world already, but I'm not in white tendency (let's assume I died in body form), what can I do? Will I be able to reach pure white only in another NG cycle? Can't find this answer anywhere.

Jackson hey mate! So, killing black phantom invaders will raise the world tendency of the world you kill them in. Get on the Demon Souls discord server and ask if anyone can help you out. Usually you can find someone who will put down a red sign in the world you want to alter tendency in.....when you summon them in they just let you kill them. Rinse and repeat until the work is pure white. Also it will move your character tendency to pure white
