Game: Demon's Souls

[darkshadow]

If you want cheap souls go to 4-2 and just kill the reaper over and over - its faster to commit suicide than to use spell to go back to nexus.
and you can get platinium in 3 playthrougs - you can purify dragon god soul and then utilize it to learn the spell in one playthrough.

I'm not strong enough yet to venture into 4-2 yet, I killed the silver skeleton's and black skeleton in 4-1 to get the crescent falchion +1, but I did so in a very cheap ( and looong) way.
I'll keep 4-2 in mind though when I can finally clear it normally.

Also doesn't a suicide, or just dying in general mean your world/character tendencies get fucked? >_>

World Tendencies are affected if you die only in corporeal form, as Animus pointed out. This shifts it to Black Tendency. Another way to shift towards Black is to kill an NPC character during gameplay (that means... it doesn't shift Tendency if you kill them on the Nexus). A suicide, on corporeal form, while on the Nexus, doesn't affect your World Tendency.

Shifting towards White is archived through killing Bosses, Important Black Phantoms and some special enemies that only appear on Pure Black.

While Pure White makes the enemies easier and Pure Black makes them harder... the highlight of both Pure Tendencies are the special events that can only happen during them, whereas its a mission, a black phantom or a weapon. You need to do both in order to get several unique things.

Now, Character Tendency is a complete different matter. The only way to change Character Tendency is through invading or aiding another player. I don't really remember any use for White Character Tendency, but Black Character Tendency triggers a sidequest (which I screwed and need to do it again on New Game Plus).

I tried to not spoil anything here, I tried only to point out how the Tendencies work. Though... Demon Soul's is a game that practically forces you to use a guide sometimes. Its just that awesome, scary and hard.

BTW... Red Eye Knight is weak against fire, so I suggest getting a fire spell as soon as you can. It can make it easier to farm him. If I remember correctly he gives you 2,000 souls per kill. Those were good times... now I need over 200,000 souls per level... I think...

I lost 1million and a half souls the other day.... <_<
