Demon's Souls Remake - Walkthrough Part 3: Acquiring Starter Weapons

[@FightinCowboy]

For those that did manage to get the regenerator ring, just jump off the cliff after getting it or use your arcstone to yeet your way home. You don't want to fight that boss right now since there's an achievement attached to him.

[@mph8er]

Man, wish I'd caught this ahead of time. The ring was really easy to get and I didnt bring an arcstone shard with me. I assumed I'd be able to leave and ended up having to head towards the boss, but was not prepared at all. Ended up losing a crapton of souls as I did against the red eyed guy the second attempt.

[@haydensavage5702]

Late to the party as I’m playing this for the first time now that I finally got a PS5. But for anyone watching this walkthrough now, an easy way to get the regenerative ring is to take off all armor/weapons and roll. Weight must play a factor cause I was able to do it second try. Hope this helps, cheers!

Thanks! Got it first try!

Fun tip. If you go to the shrine of storms early, and have unupgraded weapon you migh notice that you don't do much damage againts skelies, since they are highly resistant to all damage types except blunt. This actually makes using no weapon pretty viable because your fists do blunt damage.

For me what had me seething was when he didn’t remove his armor to do that rolling exploit for the regenerator’s ring. Seriously he just needed to unequip the armor and he would’ve made it. The game’s endurance affects everything if your endurance is low then you need to not have any armor equipped if you want to do that specific exploit.

So weird because I mostly breezed through the entire game until these mechanical Mr. skelly bones motherfuckers.

Came here from Elden Ring. You make this game so much more fun and achievable. Thank you!

[@ryanbruce3670]

Tip for anyone having a hard time with the skeletons; use your fist. You can break their roll when you first engage them with a punch, then just take a step towards them between each punch, don't combo. You can cheese all the skeles like this. Takes me 5 punches to kill with no points in strength and they can't attack back Thanks for the videos. My first proper playthrough of a souls game so I went royalty and have been putting points into magic and int which has made everything a breeze. Really appreciate you showing multiple weapons, the crescent is insanely strong with the 19 points in magic I have so far.

[@brelanarchy8023]

brilliant, thanks

[@slowmo99]

For the Regenerator Ring skip I found that you dont have to run at it just roll from the very edge of the platform towards one of the stone blocks that sticks out out towards you futher than the others. There's also a crystal lizard, the Graverobbers Ring and some moon grass that can be safely obtained without fighting more skeletons before returning to the Nexus.

How do u get back to nexus with souls. I cant find way out besides boss fight

[@neilbroomfield3080]

@@dylanweary1252 you have to use an arch stone shard

[@urticantspoon9960]

Don’t know if anyone still reads these comments, but if you don’t have an arch stone shard, right next to the corpse with the regenerator ring there’s a gap in the wall, stand there for 20 seconds and wack the wall a few times, then turn around and sprint off the cliff. Now do the shortcut again, landing on top of the wall with the hole, if you’ve done it right you can just barely reach your bloodstain for your souls. This is how I did it, and got an extra bunch of souls for killing the skellymans again.

[@bduffgames8257]

For the Regen Ring skip, take off all armor and weapons (I left rings on) and aim slightly to the right of where Cowboy was aiming. Where the dip in the wall is (the lowest point). Took me about 10-ish tries. Also, be careful of the trap at the bottom of that hole you are rolling over. And Cowboy, you are the effin best there is. You are the reason I got my plat for Bloodborne. Thanks to you and your team, bro.

[@JohnLeidegren]

Before heading into 4-1 (fighting skeletons) I would go into 5-1 and get the Morning Star. It's a weapon that does blunt damage and it will be more efficient against skeletons. The Morning Star in 5-1 is found on the platform that has a Depraved One sleeping with a fire spear in his hand. You need to kill 2 Depraved Ones to get to him.

[@GamerWalls]

Or buy a club from the hairy trader or the guy in the nexus....

[@ObeyCamp]

Regarding the Dozer Axe (from the wiki) "At 30 Strength the Crushing Great Axe outperforms this weapon 372 > 340 and weighs 12 less with the same moveset. It is harder to farm the materials for, however, making the Dozer Axe a better option if you're short on time." So its really not a big deal unless youre the kind of collector who has to have every item. Personally, I like to try to collect every weapon and piece of gear in the game, so I get it.

[@brisngrfiftysix6085]

Against those skeletons, early on it would probably be better to just punch them with your fists. They are weak to blunt and resistant to slashing, so im pretty sure you'd kill tham faster and do more damage bare handed than with using that battleaxe.

I spent 15 minutes rolling at the short wall where I picked the ring up and luckily rolled right over. It can be done it’s just very time consuming.

Hey I was wondering if later down the line if you would do a magic build walkthrough?

[@ethanwashoe5868]

The only time I’ve ever seen him do a magic walk through was years ago for dark souls 2

[@quintonhoffert6526]

Magic is pretty easy all in all. Either starting magic class has a strong spell that will carry you through the early game: the Magician has Flame Toss, which is probably better for 1-1 since it's fire damage, while the Royalty has Soul Arrow, which will still generally one-shot most enemies. The Royalty is overall a bit better, especially if you start as a female body type, since you will start with a female-only piece of armor that grants you innate MP regen so that you can never run out of spell casts. You can also save up 1000 souls and just buy the other spell from the magic trainer in the Nexus, so don't worry about spell choice. Overall the Royalty is generally the better class. Once you beat 1-1, you'll want to go grab the Crescent Falchion +1 that Cowboy got from 4-1 since like he said it's basically your best weapon as a mage, with potential upgrades only really coming substantially later. After that you'll want to go to 3-1 and clear it. 3-1 is generally a very difficult stage when compared to the other possible stages you can do, but it is probably the single most important stage to clear early for a mage. For one thing, all of the Mind Flayer enemies have a high chance of dropping either Fresh or Aged Spice, which is the item that restores MP: getting a big stack of those effectively gives you infinite spells in levels. The second reason is that Sage Freke, the primary advanced magic trainer, is trapped there. You need to get almost to the end of the level to free him, but once you do you'll be able to trade boss souls to him for powerful spells. Lastly, the boss of 3-1 can be transformed into the extremely powerful Soul Ray spell, which is basically a stronger Soul Arrow that also pierces through enemies. Once you have this spell it will probably be your bread and butter for most levels, and it makes clearing groups of enemies much more manageable since it pierces. Aside from those general ideas you can basically do anything. You'll want to pump your Magic stat as high as it can go early on to boost your spell damage, but spells soft-cap on damage at level 30 like most stats in Demon's Souls so you don't have to go that high. Get your health as high as you want it, get some Endurance so that you can block and roll when you need to, and get some Intelligence to be able to slot more spells. Don't worry too much about getting a lot of MP from Intelligence since once you finish 3-1 you should have a bunch of Fresh/Aged Spice to restore your MP with, and you can always come back and farm more or just buy it. A few endgame spells have high MP costs, but if you get up to about 18 Int you should be able to cast everything you'd ever care to in the game, which will also get you up to 3 spells slots. Once you've done those areas you can do whatever areas you want. That said, you can get an extremely powerful spell from 3-3's boss and another from 2-3's boss, and you can get some quite decent spells from 2-1's boss, though you'll have to choose one of two choices for that one. Once you have Soul Ray, though, you can easily clear all non-boss enemies with it so you really won't need to worry too much. Get whatever looks interesting to you, and if it doesn't work out you'll always have Soul Ray to fall back on. EDIT: For a Magic build you'll probably want to ignore most Miracles, but there is one exceptionally powerful Miracle that you may want to pick up called Second Chance. Second Chance puts a buff on you until you die that negates death and restores 50% of your maximum health, and can be re-cast once it falls off. It is extremely powerful and game-breaking, and is banned by pretty much all challenge run rules as its use would negate most of the intended added challenge. If you want to use Second Chance, you'll want to kill the boss of 4-2: the advanced Miracle trainer is in 4-2 so you can save him and then make a really good spell right afterwards. It requires 2 Miracle slots, so you'll need to level your Faith up to 16; luckily, the Royalty starts with 12 Faith, another way that it is better in this case than the Magician, who starts with a paltry 6. The Regeneration spell can also be fairly strong for creating a life recovery build, but you can't use it with Second Chance, so if you decide that you want to use Second Chance you shouldn't learn Regeneration since you will have to choose one of them to use. If you do decide you want to use Regeneration instead of Second Chance, it only requires 1 Miracle slot, so you won't have to level up your Faith as a Royalty at all. You'll need to kill the 4-1 boss to get the boss soul to trade for Regeneration, then do the beginning of 4-2 in order to rescue the advanced Miracle trainer.

@@quintonhoffert6526 Holy shit dude. Im doing a Magic build and this helped me a lot. Thank you!

[@quintonhoffert6526]

@@andyboytellemm No problem, glad to help! The one other thing I forgot to say is that I can't promise how well this will do in PVP, since I don't like Soulsborne PVP and I don't engage with it if I can help it. It's possible that some spells that are really good in PVE are much less good in PVP, but I wouldn't know. It's also possible that Second Chance is frowned upon in PVP, since some spells like it were frowned upon in the PVP scenes of later games. That still ultimately shouldn't change much on your end, but it is possible that if you use it and win, some really salty people might send you angry messages if it is a Demon's Souls PVP faux pas. If you're just playing normally, though, it shouldn't matter. Anything goes if you get invaded, for both you and the invader. The invader is going to use every trick in the book to kill you, so you defending yourself with every OP spell in the book is more or less just a countersign to that.

Let’s say that i hypothetically beat the storage npc to death mercilessly with a club. Is there a way to get him back or am I no longer able to access my storage

[@JordanL4257]

You just thought he should be with his family? Thomas is a good man, should've clubbed that blacksmith prick next to him!

I find it's easier to get the regenerator ring if you get naked before you roll

[@gaysonjiovanni1593]

Thank you man

[@howyouknowthat]

That’s what she said

[@MillyTeam]

That’s exactly how I got it

[@richardnoggin1526]

Thanks man that helped a lot

[@thegamingspace007]

Hi FightinCowboy, for the Regenerator Ring skip, u just have to unequip all of your equipment and weapons to be much more light to jump further/ higher

[@8pibrewing867]

Backstab sweet spot look like it might take some getting used to, especially coming from DS3. Might be me, but looks like a lot don’t land when you think they should... 🧐

[@lilt4250]

TIP: When you backstab DO NOT have your shield up, it will cancel the backstab and make you attack normally.

[@krylesangerbeaver]

I think with the skeletons it is because they do a wide swing meaning their back isnt always straight. I usually dodge and backstab off center a bit if they are mid-swing

[@8pibrewing867]

@@krylesangerbeaver yeah that’s true. I think if you circle and don’t drop your shield in time and then go for the backstab, you do a normal attack. Either they have been put to sword a fair few times now - got the plat and on fourth play through! 😊👍

[@krylesangerbeaver]

@@8pibrewing867 i just got the 100% yesterday. With firestorm and knowing the shortcuts/routes this game goes pretty quick. Now onto MK11 and Immortal Fenyx for me :)

[@G14U2NV]

Thought I was going to die then I got the ring after rolling over the ledge . Thanks 🤠

[@Skill4kill22]

Regenarater skip you can do it first try if you uneuip everything. The less weight helps you get over the wall easier when you roll

[@misdeed-cs]

for the regenerator ring i tried unequipping everything and the skip would be much easier after that there is a really simple bird boss that you can get some souls from and a bonfire thanks a lot for the help

[@memnocktdevil]

DUDE! I came back to this one for anyone trying to do the regen ring skip. TAKE OFF ALL YOUR EQUIPMENT then roll. I did it first try after trying this over and over!

[@simon-515]

I just lined up where you were and kept rolling. No running. Got two rings from that area and saw the boss I definitely wasn't prepared to do anything with but die.

[@ViperGaming1987]

There is also a compound long bow in the area that is the best bow in the game, especially for dex builds, that is accessible. When first entering the ruins and going left past the trap, go up the stairs. At the top you can look over to a lone skeleton archer. Drop underneath and fight 2 skeleton warriors (whatever they’re called) and run up to the top to claim it. Also there’s a small pit behind the Vanguard Demon (he’s easy enough to run past). If you go down there, there’s a false wall with 2 skeleton warriors. If you can manage to take them out, go straight down the hallway to find the grave robber. His cell is opened with a key found right under where you do the regenerator ring roll. Graverobber Blige sells arrows for half the price of Bodwin in Nexus. Sorry, I guess I’m biased towards dex/archer builds

[@nicepair8956]

I took all of my armor off for the ring and it was so much easier don’t know if it did anything but it felt like it did

[@thecaspermethod2101]

Trick to get the Regenerator Ring: Become naked. Remember how Cowboy got the Iaito in Dark Souls Blighttown?

[@dylandecourcey7123]

I got the ring on my one of my first few attempts following this guide then I ended up at the adjudicator, idk if I broke the game or not by fighting that boss so early

''welcome on back''. Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only..
