Does Demon's Souls have any area as shitty as Demon Ruins/Lost Izalith?

Since demon's ruins and lost izalith aren't really bad, I'll go ahead and say yes. The whole valley of defilement is like a cracked out blighttown from hell.

Cant believe I just purchased this, I promised I wouldn't after finishing demon souls, loved and hated it, just wanted that experience once, oh boy.

Yeah, probably. If I still had my game up, I'd check the log book of sins to see if I was clear or not, since I've only made it to Lordran and picked up the treasure in firelink and took a quick trip down to Rickert.

What I find most interesting is that the things I thought would make me like this game less than Demon's Souls (magic charge system, open worldiness) actually make me like it a lot more. The way these things work in conjunction with the bonfires and shortcuts make it a lot more interesting and fun for me.Kyoufu said:

Does anyone else keep seeing halos lying on the ground? Searched online and found nothing, I see them all the time though.

I don't think so, I haven't used any myself so I don't know why they would be there. It just looks like a glowing ring standing upright on the ground, I can't interact with it at all. I'll try and take a pic next time, it's quite common.

You don't even need the master key to skip them.JVIDICAN said:I started a new game+ and made it to Anor Londo within an hour. lol.
Did anyone realize that Capra, the depths, and upper blight town are completely optional?
Just need the master key.

How do you skip blight town without the master key?
Fuck curses...
I'm at the hole below past blighttown climbing down tree branches, and I got cursed by the fucking frog thingys. Is there an easy way to deal with it down here? I don't have any cure items left, and the mushroom dudes are almost one-hitting me even without being cursed.

Where do you get it? I have no Chaos covenant rank by the way, so I can't use the shortcut. I went to Demons Ruins just for that helm, but I got sidetracked and killed all those giant demons in the lava.
No one responded to me a few pages back so I'll repost.
Has anyone ever seen this:

It's a Head armor piece that turns your head into a Mimic. You can only get it from an S-rank drop(the rarest) from a Mimic not in Anor Londo or Duke's. Which probably only gives you 1 or 2 chances I believe?
It greatly reduces stamina recovery, boosts item find +200, and gives you -5hp/sec
What a weird fucking thing

The only "easy" way to deal with curses is simply not to get cursed. If you have the gear from the Firekeeper at Firelink it has good curse resist and can help. Two things that made it easier when I did it:
1) Slumbering Dragons ring and move SLOWLY, pull them one by one with a bow and fight them one at a time. Still have to be careful not to get cursed though.
2) Just run like hell; you actually only have to do the one room with 3 basilisks in it to keep going down. The other levels all have ladders leading down, run to the ladder, slide down, keep running. Of course that's a real bitch if you don't know where to go. I only could do that on my second game, my first game I chose option #1.
And those giant mushroom guys are bullshit! I went in with some of the heaviest armor in the game and 40 endurance, one hit on my great shield takes me down to 20% stam, and 2 breaks through. SIF doesn't break through! I killed a couple of the big guys, but mostly just avoided them since they are slow.

From the forest, you take the elevator down into valley of drakes, then head into the cave that leads to blight, after a short bit you find the key and you can backtrack and open up the shortcut.Oracle Dragon said:

I had no interest in Demons' Souls and initially no interest in this game but the overwhelming love for it got to me and I bought it and so far I have no regrets at all.
This game is the 3D Castlevania (+100 difficulty) that we never got. It's honestly reminding me of Symphony of the Night more than any other game I've played. If the bonfires were just ordinary checkpoints/save points and you didn't lose your souls when you died, and maybe the enemies were more numerous and a bit weaker, it would be my dream Castlevania.
Has anyone else made this comparison? I haven't heard anyone say anything like it despite the volume of discussion about the game.
