Demon's Souls uses the classic Soulsborne method of marking the deaths of other players with blood stains; and while touching these blood stains has the effect of showing you the final moments of that player's life, this is often less telling than you'd think. However, there is a way we can use these blood stains to our advantage.

Seeing blood stains covering the floor of a room that otherwise appears to be normal, for example, should tell you that there is either an ambush or trap waiting ahead, so be cautious. Be sure to check your corners for hidden enemies and differently colored floor tiles for traps. And where a bunch of blood stains can be seen leading up to a specific enemy, you can bet your bottom dollar that you're about to be in for a tough fight. In other words, prepare by making sure that you have enough grass, grains, and other necessary items.
