Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
Ok GAF here's my progress:
Soul level 60+
Beaten 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 4-1, 4-2, 4-3
Been playing like a Red Mage (FFXI)
Now I'm thinking I should do the Stormruler farming trick in 4-3, get myself 2,000,000+ souls and get myself to at least SL 100+, I get around 20k per run every 1.5 minutes, so that = 800,000 souls per hour (give or take), do it for 3-4 hours and just get my stats up
(Is it a good idea?)
It's been a great adventure, learned from mistakes, and some I wish I never committed
LOL, I lost the tower shield ; ;, couldn't pick it up due to weight, + I beat the 1-3 boss, and went back to nexus w/o reading wiki, that the Blue Dragon will not show up in 1-4 (Fuuuccckkk!!!!!)
God this game has so many elements to it, I'm still confused at parts, but just trying different tricks/styles/tips from others/or just your own and then it hits you like oh that's how you do it
1 thing that is strange, there's no hand holding in this game, which is making the experience more fun/amazing

It's not a bad idea per se, but I think you'd get much better use of your time farming for stones, unique weapons, etc., if you're talking plat, that is. You'll still be racking up souls but also getting stuff you'll need anyway. If you're just talking about leveling up for more general ass-kicking purposes, yeah that's pretty much the best spot in the game.

As far as I remember, I think farming 4-2 is the better option. Kill the first reaper with your bow then run to the hidden passage and use firestorm on the dual wielding skelleton. Loot it (chance for pure bladestone!) and jump down the cliff. This should take much less than 1.5 minutes and give an equal amount of souls.

You can use them but some of them dont give you many souls just carry them with you to the npcs that do spells and weapons and new things will show up with the boss soul requirement next to it
like the towr knight soul is used for the spell warding? I think(total protection in the asian version I think)
Dunno if this helps lol hope it does
Edit: Lol waaayy beaten

That DW Skelly is tough as nail, It takes too long to kill him, no clue what firestorm is
I have been using soul arrow for the longest, it is easier for me to do 4-3, less risk
That skelly 1 shot's me, even though i'm SL 78, I even dodge his dual sword X motion stupid lunge
Reaper gives me 4.5k souls, takes 3 arrows (regular arrows) from him to die (compound bow +3)
Then I have to drag mr. skelly all the way to the base where mr. reaper was, and use the pillars to play hide and seek and kill him with spam of soul arrow
That is too long, and I don't have the the skills on my character to do this farming technique
When I did 4-2 I would leave the skeleton out of it and either run back to start to die or use a miracle to evacuate. On my character now the reeper takes too many arrows so I drop down and use fire magic(the beginning one) I should probably add the skeleton into it if I keep doing that.

Hey guys, this is kinda O/T but you should try making a Demon's Souls character with the 3D Dot Game Heroes creator

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
I think I need to take classes in Demon Soul's 101, 102, 201, and 202 just to understand World Tendency + Character Tendency
It is pissing me off, no clue how to activate, what it takes to move it to one to the other (black to white or white to black for both things)
I know offline will help a lot, but I want to be on PSN due to people on my friend's list always asking me ?'s
(I'm like their go to guy on which games are good, trophy tips, etc.)

Simplified, killing bosses means a whiter world. Dying, while having a body, means blacker (so dying makes the game harder. Thanks for thatGraveRobberX said:
). As for character tendency, killing black phantom NPCs & doing nice things like quests makes you whiter. Being mean (ie killing basically every single NPC you come across) makes you black. Not that difficult

So killing normal enemies doesn't make your world tendency whiter?

Action rpg
action elements pan out like this: combat is all about timing and learning enemy attacks you have a strong attack and weak attack and the animation changes on different weapons
you have left and right arm to equip shit to(l and r are mapped to left and right hand)
there's a jump back and roll ability
everything is in realtime lol dunno if some people are thrown by this
the rpg stuff goes:
you can upgrade individual stats they use souls which are exp and currency
Armor an weapons are upgraded and sometimes with multiple paths using stones n souls
those are the barebone mechanics right?
oh and there's npcs for learning new spells n shit
uhhh so yeah summation of mechanics I guess
Hope it helps

Any tips for farming Cloudstone Chunks? I was aiming for the platinum, but this upgrade trophy is driving me crazy..

Get pure black world tendency and go to 4-3 (Storm Ruler).
Make sure you pick up the Storm Ruler sword from the rock near the coast, equip it, and go in the little shack to the right. Hide in there and just keep attacking with that sword (it creates a large attack wave) at mantas. Equip the Ring of Avarice for a ton of souls as well.

I finished Assassins Creed 2 last night and started playing this. sidenote: I was surprised how much I enjoyed AC2 after hearing that AC1 was "boring" (never played that one, btw). Anyway, I can already tell I will be addicted to this game. I get obsessive compulsive about maxing all stats and finding rare/valuable items/equipment.
I have struggled a bit trying to get out of Soul mode or whatever it is. You really have to constantly look at your health meter! One thing that drives me crazy is that I keep using items by accident because I'm used to [] being attack on Oblivion. Every time, it's like "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUU-------------------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There goes another half moon herb!

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Yep, retrieving your soul only brings you your souls (experience, currency etc) back.leroidys said:
You need to either defeat a boss or help someone defeat a boss online to go back to human form. Or use a Ephemeral Stone.
I really, really love this game. I got it at launch and never really had time for it. Now that my work/gaming load is lighter I'm getting into it pretty hard. Finished 1-1, 1-2, and 2-1 so far. Been tooling around in 3, 4, and 5 just kind of inching my way forward. This game defines emotional rollercoaster like nothing else. Moments of incredible satisfaction and gut-wrenching disappointment are everywhere, heck I feel that just being alive is satisfying. :lol I don't think I've ever played a game that makes you value your life so much.
Is there any way to determine how many people are playing on the server at any given time? It seems pretty spare these days. I'm considering getting the Japanese version if there's a significantly larger playerbase. I'm not encountering many black phantoms or blue eye stone signs. I take it the upcoming EU version will have it's own server as well?
Heh. 75% of your health is basically your "real" health for 90% of the game. That extra 25% is just a nice temporary bonus you get for doing something special.
