Demon's Souls Remake - Walkthrough Part 6: Prison of Hope (3-1)

[@FightinCowboy]

Forgot the iron maiden room at 17:59. Contains 3 iron maidens with loots (including a ring for the trophy), 1 iron maiden that's an ambush (it's the one by itself). There's also a noble's lotus hanging on the corpse you can shoot down.

[@tdizzlegames2070]

4th Floor near the end. Ring of Magical Sharpness.

[@GSK-mc7rw]

Please help!! Going for platinum and followed your guide to a tee apart from I killed old king Dorian by mistake! So now after I kill the red dragon I can’t get the stuff as the blue ones still there! Will that effect my platinum run??

Play bloodborne, the whole game is made of this style

[@I_Just_Like_Controversy]

@@whycantwebefriends9178I don’t think it is. This area definitely qualifies as a horror. It has the eerie sounds, the darkness, the dampness, and the monsters that if you’re young, you’ll find terrifying. Please explain how it is a bad design.

As a tip for anyone trying to get through the balista through rolling, unequip the thief ring and equip the cling ring. Should allow you to survive getting hit once, exactly what happened to me.

[@chrismaguire9032]

Yesterday I picked up a ps5 and started my adventure into this game, I was lucky to start playing these games when DS3 first came out, I was looking for help on KZbin and found your content and have been rolling along with you since. It’s not even just the content anymore it’s the thought and input you give us that I enjoy the most now. Thanks for everything you do CB

[@joshuapalmer9353]

im late to the party but THANK YOU so much bro, you are carrying me through this game for real; im now into SoulsBorne games because of you! Im playing Bloodborne as well and of course watching your walk through, your'e a Souls Savior to us all🙌

[@peepoSano]

i played all souls games and this entire level is my favorite area of all time the level design , the keys , the atmosphere , and the singing in the background its just soo creepy and perfect in every aspect

[@brady9621]

Over the years you consistently helped me through these souls games. I finally got a ps5 and am very happy to be watching your videos again man.

he's played all the soulsborne titles including demon souls original nothing that happens in this game would surprise him. Am sure he been through worse within bloodborne or something =p

He's a DS gangsta. But this is also is 3rd time or so through the game, so he knows what's going on. Good for us since he's walking us through this crazy world.

I watch him until I fall asleep. He’s got some of the most relaxing videos

I know right lol. Sometimes he switches weapon's and armour mid fight from the menu like it's nothing 🤣

Cowboy: don't go that way it's a drop. Me: forgets a second later drops down then dies 🙃

[@ph4nt0mw0lf7]

I gotta say everytime i play through a new souls game and watch your walk through of it i absolutely love it. I loved ds3 and im getting the feeling that im gonna love demon souls. Maybe it helps to have a good reason to pause playing for even less than a minute. Helps my sanity most likely.

[@Luke-kj1rj]

The mini chtulu's are cool character design

[@josephcampese7346]

The whole level feels like something out of Lovecraft's lore! I love it!

[@SunWarriorSolaire]

Pretty hard with the narrow hallways though

[@LG1ikLx]

24:47 You can get the trophy easier for the ballista. Use the cling ring instead of the Ring if Great strength. Equip your best armour that keeps you under 50%. I used binded body and black for the rest. Unequip weapons if needed. When diving, go when you hear the sound then gradually get quicker as your moving up. If you kiss the fence you will avoid allot of shots allowing you heal and with the cling ring you can sponge being hit rather then instantly being killed. I got the trophy after being hit 4 times.

[@Chino11ification]

This walkthrough helped me out greatly! Love the commentary as well. Thanks for this video.

[@tuhdogs]

Great guide. Had to watch again because I missed the keys on the wall at 19 min in. So used tuh being coddled by your absolute thorough guide. Thanks so much for these helpful vids.

[@maadsc1ent1st22]

Had a perfect run with no deaths until I tried roll dodging the ballista. Died and lost a bunch souls, then proceeded to die several more times in a row trying to speed run to get back there lol. Should have said screw the achievement and just went through the back.

[@davidaltergottjr7855]

It’s a bit cheesy but at least on PS5 if you know you’re going to die, or right as you die, hit the Home Screen, close the game, re enter and continue. You will be left off somewhere before you died. In the beginning I did this before boss fights, it saved me from having to redo a lot, and this is my first souls game ever.

[@crocodile924]

This info will be very useful in 20 years when I have a ps5

[@goranzoricic]

Awesome tutorial, but it's much easier and safer to murder the mind flyers with a bow. Even more so since at this point in the walkthrough we have a +7 one. Edit: before typing a comment one should watch the whole video

[@ruelreyes8410]

at 9:26 missed noble’s lotus at the hanging corpse.

[@Eric-rb9ip]

For anyone who is struggling with the enemies, the bow works really well against them. 2 shots and done with level 7 bow Edit: Cowboy actually mentions this later in the video, sorry :p

[@Noneyobusiness851]

I started the game I was only loosely following this guide and I screwed up so much stuff When I realized after watching videos how bad I messed up I just started over now I'm super sailing The game fun when you've never been there before but it's also fun when you don't have to struggle because you have an idea of what to do

[@macxxx007]

Ah yeah... gotta love the sound design... THANKS COWBOY! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

[@pjcostantini9157]

Your vids are the best brother!! Thank you!!!

[@theundead1600]

I found sniping the mind flatters with a bow is easy as pie. +5 now pops them in 4 maybe 5 arrows from across the way.

[@86themadhatter27]

I do not envy you having to make this part of the walkthrough. I've no idea how i got through it because it was so confusing

[@mikeredding4667]

I swear your theif ring works better than mine. The flayers hear me run up to them every time

[@ph4nt0mw0lf7]

For those struggling to roll past the ballista especially near the end. It might help if you roll when you hear it or base it off of hearing. For example around the halfway mark. Firing sound, pause, roll. Firing, pause, roll. And right before the end. Firing sound, roll. Firing, roll. Hopefully anyone who gets stuck doesnt stay stuck.

[@Tommy-j-egan]

In case this helps someone with the Ballista. I did it musically. One bar of 4 and one bar of 3. The arrows take up the first bar of 4 and finish on the down beat of the second bar of 3. Then two beats for your running and then you’re rolling. 1(roll),2,3(roll),4, 1(arrow finished) 2,3(running). Lol… sounds complicated but I got it first go when I thought about it like this.

[@zikarisg9025]

Not sure if the Thief Ring is worth it here, just use the bow for all the mindflayers...

[@ivanvl1185]

That has been working for me.

[@ethancodes7134]

I use the bow as well. However, with the thief ring, you can stay out of their aggro radius, so often times you can shoot at them without them shooting back.

[@User-rv3oc]

Such quality videos. Thanks man.

[@TARASTItheloser]

Used the cling ring to tank an extra hit and barely made it out. That ballista was a real test of my rolling skills (they were not very good) 😅

[@raynemcalees9353]

As someone who only plays these because of your walkthroughs, THANK YOU

[@jacedubin8623]

A tip for this is u can snipe the squidwards on the lower levels easily from the paths with the broken gate. It’s only like 2-3 shots to kill them!

[@RyanPoutine]

9:15 the room where you see your first iron maiden. Look up to see a body hanging with loot, and shoot it with something.

[@vengabusify]

If you finish the storm arch stone first, anti magic field is awesome for these enemies, I used it in ng+ and it was a breeze

[@DavidLopez-sv6hp]

So far, struggling with 4-2. And waiting for that guide. Everything else I’ve been able to do without any major help/hints. Done with all of the other bosses and areas but 4-2 pathway is a nightmare.

[@FightinCowboy]

4-2 is basically a gimmick level. Hard until you learn reaper positions then it's one of the easiest zones.

[@GriffinatorOriginal]

I’m late because I just got a PS5 finally but I haven’t played Demon’s Souls since the PS3 so this is appreciated

[@macwatters77]

22:49ish lol you walked threw a door after rolling into few caskets. That for was closed for me? Is that a tendency thing? We have the same tendency at this point as well.

[@joesephfournierfournier2027]

Your videos are great have helped me a lot threw this game

[@youremybiggestfan]

18:00 "nothing there. " (But there was a whole lot of goodies in there including a ring, but in the last lonesome iron maiden theres a laggardy sort with poison)

[@sillymesilly]

I missed the part where did he obtain this armor?

[@olcloudy1618]

I've been playing as a royal class. I feel op with Cresent falchion and magic. No problem with mind flayer

[@Ben6Ten]

Can you reactivate the Ballista and roll through to get the hidden achievement? Or is it done once you turn it off the long way?

[@FightinCowboy]

Once u turn it off it's waiting till NG+ or a new character

[@joshuatucker2521]

Really enjoying your guide. One comment I'd make tho. I found Adjuicator to be a crazy easy boss and Flamelurker was also very easy with the Crescent Falchion +1 and a decent shield. Beating these two bosses allows you to talk to blacksmith Ed and make the Meat Cleaver. It made Prison of Hope super easy. One shotting the flyers and all the other mobs. Also having the bow upgraded to Lava Bow at this point make sniping the Flayers very easy. Having a few more soul levels from killing those two bosses before coming here also trivialized the area. Just my two cents. Obviously there's many ways to play the game but I thought I'd mention that Meat Cleaver actually isn't that hard to get early on. The worst part was having to sink some levels into Faith to be able to use it.

[@360cent]

Great guides man! Thank you for making them

[@yankeleherrera4467]

Just got the trophy minutes ago, best cue you can have is not visual but sound. As soon as you hear the arrows being shot, you roll, around 3 times, then you run to the back.

The tower of Latria is my all time favourite area in the entire souls franchise.

I’m finding sniping the mind flayers really helps, if you’re careful with your timing you can pick them off from the end of the corridor or from different levels before they can counter.

[@godofchaoskhorne5043]

As a mage I just managed to turn my Kilij (Kılıç) into a crescent +1. It hacks these things down in two light hits. But even more effectively is using thief's ring, cloak spell then then use flame toss on them with a kriss in one hand and my wooden catalyst in the other. They are dust in two hits. I can lock on to them befeow they see me then stun them with flame toss and immediately throw another
