Heal is a miracle so you need to equip a talisman to use it. The easiest place to get one is in 4-1, you'll find a Talisman of God to the right of the first fog gate.

Was just going to say. Talisman of God is for miracles, catalysts for magic. There is two ways to get the talisman of beasts but right now I can't recall the second. I suppose I could be wrong, could anyone clarify?Zzoram said:
The talisman of god is at the second wall/arch in 4-1 (just past the first staircase)

You can also get a Talisman of beasts from
Mephistopheles for assassinating Ostrava.

INDIGO_CYCLOPS, can you spoiler tag my quote so I don't ruin anyone else's fun?

Talisman of Beasts Is the 2nd/1sts strongest magic weapon in the game but you have to keep both your Magic and Faith equal to boost its attack power.
Killing that guy was a pain in the ass, its worth it though.

Speaking of which, Atlus has again extended server support for the game.

Hey guys, I'm about to fight
and I've heard from many that this is the most annoying fight in the game. So, to prevent frustration, is there anything special I need? The area is in Black World Tendancy, due to me dying around 12 times on 3-1 (I blame the camera for at least 7 of those deaths, as it wouldn't let me target the fucking medusa-looking things. First time I got Black World Tendency in the game, too, though I intend to do it for all the areas to fight Black Phantoms and Primeval Demons).
I believe my Soul Level is 49, and I'm using the Dragon Long Sword you can find in 2-2 (The one that's just a normal sword but with a flame attribute). I haven't found any other weapons I can wield that are stronger than it, all of the weapons I find take more hits to take down enemies, which includes the larger swords and axes...
the Maneaters

you can cheese this fight by firing a bow through the fog door that leads to the encounter. it's possible to kill one of the maneaters (they won't move provided you don't step through the fog door) in this manner, leaving only one to deal with. the biggest tip i can offer with the actual encounter is to try and keep the large brazier (middle of the bridge) between you and the maneater and range attack or backstab/attack when they charge and miss you (they'll charge at a tangent to the brazier and go right by you).Foffy said:
also watch the edges.

i used firespray to pretty great effect with a second character i made, you can charge right at the first one, firespraying away and run right by him to turn around and do it again. just make sure regardless of how you tackle the fight that you focus on one maneater at a time. the 2nd one appears once the first one is at 20% health. don't try and juggle them, just focus fire on one and the 2nd one becomes pretty easy to kite around.Foffy said:

Atlus' long term support has really been fantastic. I'm glad I imported the NA version. Pure white tendency will allow me to get 2/3 of the rings I need for the Rogue's trophy and the non-demon soul based unique weapons I'm missing.

White World TendencyWizman23 said:
demon's souls uses a tendency mechanic which influences how difficult the enemies are and how frequent rare(er) items drop. black tendency means characters get harder but drops get better. white tendency means the opposite. there are also specific characters/events that happen when the world is pure white (PWWT) or pure black (PBWT). if you don't intend to go after specific trophies/items/weapons, you can largely ignore this mechanic.
the official wiki has a great breakdown of how this system works and is influenced.
This is good. I hope they do another Pure Black event in the future since for whatever reason half of the events didn't show up for me last time despite deliberately avoiding killing a boss. Pure White will at least make my second play through easier if I ever bother to get back around to it.

I still really new to this game, but I am really starting to like it. I found a Purple Flame Shield and found that I needed 22 strength to use it...so I raised my str to 22 and equipped it, but I move really slowly with it equipped. I am not overburdoned, so any idea why this would be?

there's two kinds of burden item (inventory) and equip (equipped gear)
if the equip burden is over 50% it will hamper movement.

You can kill him as soon as you meet him in 3-2. If you let him live and defeat the maneaters he will be in the Nexus and have killed a couple of redshirts. He will only kill named NPCs one at a time after you defeat a boss. The only real reason to wait until he's in the Nexus is if you won't have enough weight free in your item burden to be able to carry his Gloom armor (weight is ~30 and it's poison and plague resistance make it very useful in a couple of other levels). As far as killing him is concerned, when I set him free and then attacked him in 3-2 he fell off the edge to his death so I reloaded my save and his armour was beside his cage so that's probably the easiest way to beat him and get his armour.
ArachosiA 78 said:
Raise the endurance stat to increase your equip burden. If you just run and roll slower you've gone over 50% of your equip burden. If you can't roll at all you have exceeded your equip burden. Also be aware of what weapons and armor you have equipped and try to be as efficient as possible.
electroshockwave said:
Is there a difference between fighting him in 3-2 and the Nexus stat/skill wise for Yurt? I think I'd rather fight him there, as it's a bit of a battle to get to him in 3-2 with all of the Black Phantoms roaming about, and the wonky Gargoyle fights on elevators.

Not as far as I know. If you're going to fight him in the Nexus I'd recommend backstabbing him a few times with your strongest weapon or hitting him with something powerful like firestorm.
I was just reading the news today about Atlus's plan to close the server.
What do they mean exactly?
For such an online driven game, they were originally planned to get rid of the online stuffs a year after release? I am glad they extended this plan to November, but even still, isn't it a bit tooooo soon?

So they officially extended it to November 2011? Because they've been extending it basically every few months, so I really think they want to keep the servers up. As long as people keep playing and they maintain some minimum server activity, they'll keep them up.
Every trophy in the game can be achieved offline. There is only 1 item in the game that you can only get online, and it's only good for mage builds. The online is definitely nice but the vast, vast majority of the time you play connected online, you have 0 interaction with anyone, and even when you do there is no way to talk to each other.

Noooo doubt :lol
I was trying to explain to my buddy this game (I don't understand it much myself) but that was basically how I said it. I thought everything was going fine, I made it to this boss, died instantly and I've been stuck in hell every since :lol
There is an easy way to kill most of the bosses, usually involving magic or bow and arrows. Worse case, summon some blue phantoms and let the experienced guys do all the work while you just stay alive.
I offered myself up as a blue phantom a few times to see what strategy other people were using to tackle bosses so I could then go back and try the same thing.

fuck yes, so happy to see WWT soon! on my 2nd playthrough, and i needed just a bit more to get pure white in world 4 for one of the last unique weapons.
one quick question:
can't wait to start farming for stones soon! and to the dude on this page who said he wishes the game would tell you shit...:lol yeah, me too, ive had a ton of help from a good friend and more reading on the demon's souls wiki trying to sort shit, good luck man!

Apparently, you can get the lost levels back by touching your bloodstain.

ah, thats what happened, then! :lol cause yeah, he whooped the shit out of me.
until i was told of the magic of rotten arrows + not moving. fuck you, its not honorable but it works!
Just got a taste of co-op, and a taste of 4-1. If those two guys hadn't been helping me I think I would've gotten my ass whooped. Still I kinda helped in taking that big fat guy near the start with some arrows...from really...really far away. So now I have the talisman of god and can do spells yay...no idea what level to do now though.

If pure white tendency is going with Atlus now why is the gate in 1-1 not open for me?
