Demon's Souls PS5: 14 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You
11. Be Daring In Your Exploration
Once you've defeated the Phalanx in the Boletarian Palace for the first time you'll be filled with adrenaline and raring to move on. What a new player to Demon's Souls might not know, however, is that you have far more options than simply moving through to the next sub-level. These options come in the form of archstones, which can be used to transport you to different worlds with their own themes, bosses, loot, and levels. So rather than rushing ahead to complete the vague story of Demon's Souls, be a bit daring and explore these different worlds.
Stonefang Tunnel, for example, will have you fighting off against angry miners with the benefit of finding more resources than you can carry. Since these can be used to upgrade your armor and weapons, tackling this area early may be a sound strategy. Visiting the Shrine of Storms will also pose quite the challenge, but considering that fallen foes will drop powerful weapons, spending some time there might do you well.
