Just had the weirdest little event. I was running around the Nexus and accidentally slipped off the staircase onto the advanced magic chap - who instantly stood up, clutching his dagger saying "what are you doing? What can you gain by killing me?" Thankfully he just stood there, and I was able to go over and chat normally - he referenced my new Demon's Soul I was bringing him, that might have helped. Otherwise I would have been stuck until NG+ before I'd be able to learn anything else, not cool. What has been known to aggro them? I know someone mentioned before rolling into NPCs does, obviously running over them seems to have been quite close. Anything else other than actual damage?

The Kris knife does pitiful damage and colorless souls can be hard to get if your primeval demons don't drop them (I had 3 in a row not drop one  ) or your not planing on doing Mephistopheles' quests.

Work your way up to the gate with the two skeleton archers on top, take the left hand wall tunnel. Watch out for the trap. Turn left out of the next tower. There's a black skeleton there, but if you have soul arrow or flame bolt then he's no problem. Grab the Falchion.

Of course, after that if I just stood in one place he would eventually wander off and smash poo poo on the other side of the room while I healed up with regen equipment.

It's relatively risk-free to come in at the Tower Knight's archstone, kill the two blue knights and archers standing under the gate (backwards, towards 1-2), and head back to the nexus, then rinse-repeat. One single run nets 1014 souls, and a half-dozen grasses, plus whatever the archers drop at random. You can be swimming in souls and grasses in just a few minutes.

Only hit him once or twice and slowly walk. Don't roll or run or anything. He's blind, so he can't see you. Not that it matters now.

Lather, rinse, repeat. mostly because at the time I was farming for grass I was too low of a level to be farming 4-2. (or at least I thought I was). Evacuate would solve this problem too. could have warped back to home base rather than go into a boss fight with that many souls.

Looks like they're reprinting the game, though the deluxe edition won't be available again.An Atlus press release posted:ATLUS SUMMONS MORE COPIES OF DEMON'S SOULS INTO STORES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA; DELUXE EDITION SOLD OUT, OFFICIALLY DISCONTINUED I guess this means the domestic version's a success, too.

^^^^^^^^ That's what I got, the NA version. Just happened to see it sitting on the shelf at my local Gamestop and was like "oh gently caress yes!" If I'm tired of being in soul form, but I don't have any SoEEs, can I get summoned as a phantom to help someone kill a boss I've already killed in my game?

Anyone available to blue phantom for me in 4-2? Getting annihilated by the opening room combo of Reaper plus a billion ghost dudes that take forever to kill. The one time I pulled that off I got cocky and tried to take out the Dual Katana skellie and he killed me with about 5% of his health left. Boo. Edit: Also I can't figure out the sniping the reaper thing at all. I have a Short Compound +5 and it seems to be unable to kill him before he walks down the stairs, out of sight. Kinda useless if to farm souls from him I need a bow from a late-game level.

It has a range of 60, compared to 50 for the compound short bow (according to the wiki) -- that could mean the difference.

Why do you want to be in body form so much? Just so you know, every time you are in body form and you die you are pushing the world more into black tendency which actually makes the game harder. If you are having trouble with the game already I would not do that. If you need to make Soul form easier make sure you have the Cling Ring from 1-1, if you don't consult the wiki on how to get it and go get it. It's the best ring in the game.

(Your issue will be more of a problem when sniping the next 2 reapers though.)

I had the same problem as you, just get the compound longbow as people have mentioned, or kill the ghosts and run closer above him.

If I wanted black tendancy (more souls from enemies I know I can handle), or just wanted to be able to summon someone else to help me on a demon, I'd like to know if this is an option, is all.

Now that I think about it, why didn't From publish this themselves in the West? They'd have every reason to believe it would be more successful than many other games they have brought over themselves. It's certainly more accessible and tuned to Western tastes than the Armored Core series.

Hell I didn't even walk while fighting him. I didn't try sprinting though.

EDIT: This isn't related to DS at all, but since this thread is so active I might as well ask you guys - is there any way to get the PS3 to let me listen to custom music while playing a game? Every time I try to open the music player in-game, it tells me I have to quite to listen to music. Some of these games would be infinitely better played to some metal

Well the Short Compound bow works fine for killing the Reaper, after all. I just hadn't fired a bow up till that point and wasn't very familiar with their operation. Just gotta stand close, aim low and mash the fire button, kills him just before his ghosties have a chance to whack ya. But yeah I was running around 4-2 after that with a blue phantom and he died really early. My previous blue phantoms were all pros that were showing ME around, but I felt like I had to work to protect this poor sod.

Samurai Sanders posted:Well, falling and landing on NPCs and enemies DOES injure them, like five damage or something. I don't know how much damage you have to do to get them to start attacking you though. For some reason my game seems oddly tolerant of this sort of behaviour though. For example in the 1-3 boss fight I got Biorr to come in and help out, which was muchly appreciated, and basically slashed away while Biorr took quite a bit of punishment. Must have hit him as well at one point, as he was suddenly all "Have you gone mad?" but he happily finished off Penetrator and then went back to sleep anyway, and we're peaches and cream back in the Nexus now. Only 5-2 left and then 1-4. Trying to decide whether I want to farm stuff up for upgrading weapons now or in NG+, is it going to be much harder? Do drop rates improve as well or anything like that?

What's up with Patches? He told me to grab some treasure, but there was a big freaking beatle in the way. It left me alone, so I spent ten minutes pummelling it with a huge club, and killd it. Now he won't talk to me. Just "You...how did you do that?"

Hahahahah, awesome. It turns out I wasn't screwed on Ostrava after all. He just skipped 1-3 for some reason. Thanks to this, I am now enjoying my demonbrand. I will enjoy my Ancient King set even more when I finally manage to loving kill that bastard. Needs to stop spamming hard attack when I try to heal.
