    I saw that. I just know I wont have the time to join in :(

    The stone farming required for some builds really puts me off returning.

    Totally agreed.

    I put 50 hours or so in Demons Souls and could never get weapons upgrades past +3 or so farming in general I hated.

    I just wanted to experience some online cos didn't get much first time.

    Got NA copy of the game though so probably time difference as well.

    Is there a trick to getting across the bridge with the dragon circling it after the Phalanx boss without getting roasted? I get across the first part, down under it, fight some dogs and find a merchant. Get to the next part and no matter how fast I sprint to the fog gate I get nailed, there's a few archers and two knights near it. Does it matter where the dragon is in the sky?

    Yes, ensure your total equipped is less than 50% of your maximum equip burden and just run across.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    You can also kill the dragon with soul arrow or soul ray but that'd take a lot of MP regen and patience.

    Get as close as you can to where his flame first hits the ground then just as he starts his run, chase him.

    I was doing it wrong, trying to outrun him before he flew over, didnt realise could walk out a good bit on the bridge until he did it. Beat the Tower Knight there, wasn't hugely difficult just annoying I kept getting staggered making it hard to dodge.

    First time I fought the Tower Knight I hid like a coward up top and peppered him with arrows. Actually I ran away from most things on my first play. I kinda miss the fear of taking on a boss now in both games. It added to the excitement and reward of beating them.

    Started this lastnight. Have beaten Tower Knight and trying to decide where to head next.

    Any advice on a build? I went with the Royal class, have been investing mostly into Int, Magic, Vit and End. Want to keep Dexterity at a certain level too but will mainly go for a magic build I think with the Winged spear as my main melee weapon.

    Any good light armour sets I can pick early on or will i just stick with the Royal's default stuff. Wouldn't mind a better shield too.

    They don't use dedicated servers so it still works AFAIK. I played through early last year and I worked, but I saw about 3 Summon Signs in the whole run.

    Was playing a few weeks ago and I couldn't find one. Its pretty dead

    Pretty sure it does use dedicated servers, at least for some functions. Dark Souls is PvP though.

    Just played my first 20 minutes of Demon's Souls.

    So far it is very similar to Dark Souls in that I have no idea whats going on or how to survive for very long. Are you supposed to be able to fight the first boss? Or are you supposed to die immediately so you can get to the Nexus?

    I think myself and Weiland79 will have to call it a day on our attempt to play some Demons Souls co-op. I think we were doing everything right but we just couldn't get the summons to work.

    - I'm level 14 and he is level 24. So we're in the correct range.
    - I'm in soul firm and using the blue eyed stone item
    - He is in human form
    - The boss in the level is still alive, at least in my game

    The only thing we can think of is that I'm playing a digital version but Weiland79 is using a physical copy.

    It is such an obtuse system.

    I believe there are different versions of game and it's not possible to connect to a person using a different one. I have a disc copy which I bought around the time it was released, I believe it's the US version whilst I also have the digital one as well which is European.

    Who is the distributor on the boxed version?

    You can PM me if you're looking for co-op. I've completed the game a few times so I know my way about!

    Think version do make difference. And you need to in same server for summon working. One trick is to quit both, and try to start again same time to better the chance to connect to same server...

    Best coop experience with friend will be Dark Souls 2 use naming ring...

    But Demons Souls is the best in my book, for some Boss design...

    Lads I picked this and dark souls up for a tenner second hand. I'm going to start demon's souls next week. I really want to get into these games but I heard that a lot of people quit due to the difficulty. What can I do to make sure I don't quit early?

    I'm probably not the guy to answer because I did quit Dark Souls very early into the game. I played it for about 18 hours but only got a tiny bit of the way into the game. It was just too hard.

    But probably not being afraid to use an FAQ is a good step.

    I tried Demon Souls but just couldn't get into it, that also overlapped with not having much time to play it and DS2 coming out though so that was more why I stopped playing. So I can't say much about Demon Souls just that if you do get sick of Demon Souls definitely give Dark Suls ago. It is still rock hard but more forgiving than Demon Souls I found :)

    Also ENB has a Let's Play of Demon Souls that I found very helpful for starting off.
