I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can give me
Dude! Hope you enjoy your time with these games now. I highly suggest Dark Souls 3 & Bloodborne. Demons Souls is the first and only Soulsborne game that has you worrying about world tendency. I'm not sure many realize this on their first playthrough.
I played this game like 10 years ago or whenever it came out on PS3 (I bought the console for this game), and I literally had no idea what I was doing in terms of this stuff. I just cast spells and used my plus 2 scimitar to beat the game. Not that I was good but magic was OP in this game. It's so fun revisiting this thing.
@brianpoole7581 Probably because everyone kills themselves in the nexus to artificially manage their world tendency. I think that’s a fault of the community and the mechanic though.
Are you kidding me?! I have been lugging all of my stones to the blacksmith in the mines since the first Demon Souls on the PS3. I picked this up on Saturday and I have been lugging them every single time I've gone down there....damnit. You see, even though I'm a Demon Souls/Dark Souls/Bloodborne veteran I can always learn new things. Thank you very much this is going to save me so much time now.
My usual progression route for a pve pvp route goes like this: knight class, use longsword, upgraded it with hardstone, then find dragon longsword and crescent falchion, pump.a bit of magic, beat flamelurker who is weak to magic, heck all world 2 is weak to magic, use dragon longsword for.valley of defilement, everything is weak to fire, get broken sword and with astrea soul and flame lurker soul create my blueblood sword fav weapon ever, then do all world 3 to free sage freke collect moonstone shards chunks and pure IF lucky and create a good moon weapon like an uchigatana, then put remaining dragon stone shards and pure in a mirdan hammer, pump luck, beat penetrator and release Yuria, use that boss soul to get light weapon, and buff blue blood sword that shit destroys while.buffed, while also having a moon uchigatana and a dragon mirdan hammer to mix things up, release Urbain to have second chance and you are ready for pvp... and NG+
Interesting. Just picked up demons souls and a ps5 the other day and not sure what build to make. I have finished every other souls game and bloodborne multiple times and like the sound of this. Just looked up another video about the blue blood sword and think I will aim for this on my first run through. Would love any other info you could share about the build or a video link, build stats etc? Always loved the uchinaga as well so can't wait to get it up and running.
@@wizzfizz6471 honestly blue blood sword its awesome but but for a proper damage setup its kinda late game as its 18 in every main stat means 18 faith 18 str 18 dex and 18 magic... the bbs scales with luck from 20 to 30 are the best results, and for the classic meta pvp spread its for sl 125 50 vitality 36 endurance 15 intelligence 18 str 18 dex 30 magic 18 fth and 20 luck. 30 magic with insanity catalyst gives a shit ton of magic damage using light weapon buff, with blue blood sword having natural magic damage you will rape everything...but its too dependant ln the buff, you can also opt for alocating stats to allow yourself for 25 luck but its not worth it.... Also there is a build with 0 luck investment and much more magic, so basically all buff and then switch weapon to a moon weapon. You can do any spread for the bbs and use the uchigatana moon upgrade, just grab a plus 6 uchigatana, and with the moonshards chunks and pure all in the 3rd archstone, tower of latria, turn it into a moon weapon in the blacksmith of stonefang tunnel... to forge bbs need a broken sword, its a dreggling drop or a 5-2 shiny in the swamp and forge it woth the same blacksmith with Maiden astrea soul. The boss of 5-3... also need to give him the soul of flamelurker... cool thing in demons souls boss weapons dont need further upgrades...
@@RedKing64 oh wow. Thanks for the detailed reply. I’ll definitely be looking into this more next week when I’m finally on holidays. Got a game plan now. Cheers!
It is really too bad that Demon's Souls is such a short game given how many complex systems it has. Not saying that they all work perfectly, but Demon's Souls really begs for something like Bloodborne's chalice dungeons.
I'm loving the Sharp Warscythe. You get the Halberd reach, and moveset, but you can use it with a Shield. (Sharp Spiked Shield) as needed. Keep in mind, I don't have A Singular Fighting Style. I try to get as much as I can out of my 4 weapon slots, without having to dig around in my golf-bag. (I had a squire named "Caddy" in D&D.) Halberds are really versatile, but Dex weapons are better for 1 handing (With Shield, Catalyst, or Talisman) Dual Wielding, and 2 handing. The Bleed doesn't hurt (Me) either. Just to round it out, the Lava Bow. (Silver Coronet, Chain Mail, Mirdan Gauntlets, and Plate Leggings for Fashion Souls. Don't have the Talisman of Beast yet, but it's not a high priority.) I'm thinking about farming another (From the Reaper at the bottom of the drop. You know the one) and try it with Tearing.
Oh sorry. Favorite upgrade path to a Boss Soul weapon? Club to Meat Cleaver. That's a real high level weapon right cher, though. (It scales from 3 stats, but at least you can stop at 66 Strength, and 2 hand it.) It can scale past even the mighty DBS, but only with significant stat investment, and the population isn't huge at that level. Yet...
I intend to upgrade my Bastard Sword to scale with Faith, but when I see the stats, I notice two types of damage, crushing, that scales a little with Strength and the Magic one, that scales with Faith. My question is, ALL the damages are sumed or enemies Will take either the crushing damage or the Magic Faith based damage? I ask this because I'm afraid to upgrade my weapon and in the end It deals less damage then It already deals.
my favorite path is ignoring all of this and going for the unique weapons! I do appreciate the complexity available though. You can really make any weapon suit your build
The northern Regalia is my favorite weapon by far. I had to do quite a bit to get pure white character tendency and then pure white world tendency, but those 2 stacked on top of each other in soul form with the northern regalia makes me do stupid damage. And then if I want to go even more nuts, I can stack a morion blade + clever rat ring and just melt bosses. It's not even that risky since I'd have second chance active which let me take 1 hit and survive. I just lose my bonuses after that 1 hit instead of dying & having to start all over again.
I just had to message u after reading ur comment, I'm on ng + 5 now 😂 iv tried the Regalia and just can't get on with it but is it better using it when u are pure white tendency ? or doesn't it matter if ur pw or black ? the morion blade and rats ring iv watched players go into hyper mode with it and it's risky but dam its crazy 140 more damage doing so 😳 iv done the same had second chance active also but can u tell me what u mean by u lose ur bonuses 🤔 I may be on + 5 but i still am poorly skilled at the game and confused as to what I'm doing in the game a lot of the time, I'm not good at the games yet don't care its all about for me having fun 😂
@@tanyadavies265 So there are two types of tendencies: character tendency and world tendency. The game generally gets easier if you have white world tendency as opposed to black world tendency. With white world tendency, enemies have less health. With black world tendency, enemies have more health, and you can even get to pure black world tendency where you have some random really hard enemies here and there up here. Character tendency is entirely separate from world tendency. There's a really good video that I saw on character tendency and world tendency. I'll go ahead and send the link to them. In order to get the most out of northern regalia, he need to have either pure white character tendency, or pure black character tendency. I decided to go with pure white, and in addition to that, I decided to have pure white world tendency which makes the game easier. When I said I would lose my bonus if I got hit, what I mean is that the spell second chance would activate, and instead of dying, I end up having like half my health. When you have 50% of your life, You are no longer in hyper mode because hyper mode requires 20% of your health or less to be active. So losing hyper mode is what I mean by losing my bonus. Anyways, I'm going to go look for that video explaining character and world tendency and pasted in another comments. I recommend going for pure white character tendency and pure white world tendency if you want to make the game easier
@@amizan8653 Much appreciate the time taken out to reply to me in such detail 👍 I'm pure white world tendency at mo but pure black character tendency lol, thank you on the explanation on the Regalia and the bonus lose i now understand that with second chance once its active u don't die and have around half health hense the 2nd chance 👌 wasn't sure how it worked that spell yet i do now 🤗 iv watched a few videos on tendency system yet still finding it hard to grasp, if I'm write in saying if i want to stay in pure white world iv gotta die at the nexus after killing a boss to keep it white, its the character tendency I'm having trouble understanding as I'm pure white world at mo but pure black character so not sure how i keep my character on pure white, hope u understand what i mean, iv no Internet at mo so feel this is why my character tendency is at pure black as i can't help players beat bosses, Anyway I'll give the Regalia another go 👍
@@tanyadavies265 If you want to get your character to pure white and you're not playing online with other people, ironically you're going to have to Get each world to become pure black world Tendency basically by Going to the world, and then using up a Stone of Ephemeral Eyes in order to go back to body form, and then committing suicide. After doing this about 5 to 7 times, (I can't remember how many exactly) You can go and refresh the world tendency by going back to the Nexus and then coming back into whatever world you were shifting to pure black. And then after having shifted the world to pure black, you have to find a certain character in the world in order to kill. This character will be very strong, but once you kill them, you shift your world tendency back to neutral and you also shift your character tendency to white by 20% I think. Since your character is pure black, it would literally take two new game cycles in order to do this. Honestly, I think it's not even worth it at that point because you're trying to make the game easier on yourself by shifting your character to pure white character tendency so you can beat it... But you have to literally beat it twice in order to do that. That's a chicken and egg problem. However, the northern regalia works really well as long as you have either pure black or pure white character tendency. So... If you do have pure black character tendency, the northern regalia will still be good. It's just best with pure white character Tendency, because pure white character tendency makes it so that you have an increased attack power in soul form as well. So you basically have everything except for that one boost... That should help you beat the game in the last new game cycle. Also, if you end up getting online, and you want to summon me for help or something, let me know. Sounds like it would be fun. I could either try to help you beat bosses, or I could see if there's a way to help you get pure white character tendency by killing me or something lol.
i have a doubt, i have a +7 claymore but i want to upgrade with crushing do i need to reset the updrages to 0 or get to +10? i have some greystone shards but blacksmith ed won't give me the option to upgrade.
Question: so for instance with the dragonstone upgrade, it adds fire damage but it comes at the cost of any stat bonus? Does that mean that my strength scaling bonus on a long sword would go away on a dragon long sword?
This game is nuts. I feel like I’m back playing fallout 3 for the first time, not knowing anything about fallout. I hope to be able to rip n tear down the line with a dumbass dexterity build
It hides everything and tell u nothing so of course ur gonna miss everything cool and u most likely will miss most of them because plus six weapons with certain boss souls witch is stupid u get one chance to make the weapon if u uprade past that point of new weopen the see ya to that weapon
You need the Red Hot Demon Soul (now called Seering Demon Soul). Have it in your inventory and talk to Blacksmith Ed in 2-1. You get this Seering Demon Soul from beating Flamelurker in 2-2.
I haven't tried upgrading my weapons to anything else since I've been using the same knight default sword since the beginning but I feel like putting flame damage +5 on that sword is really fucking strong. like to the point where the game wasn't even that challenging after you upgrade it to 4 an 5 because you can pierce damage and normal light damage. Most bosses I was doing 250+ damage but I think most of them were weak against fire but they are still pretty fucking strong which is insane
To be able to craft upgrades: 1. you must have defeated both armored spider and flamelurker on this playthrough. 2. you must talk to ED until you exhaust all dialogue. 3. the soul must be in your inventory 4. only after giving him the soul will he do upgrades. You may need to reset the archstone by traveling in and out after giving him the soul. Details on this are on the Upgrades page: demonssouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Upgrades
@@Fextralife thank you so much. I watched the whole video and I could've sworn I brought all the necessary equipment to forge it. I feel so dumb. Thanks again your channel has helped me with all the soulsborne games.
I'm assuming you already beat the first boss. Then you should go upstairs. After the second stairs, you'll reach a small room that can show you your own stats. Find the stairs in there. Then keep going up. The person you're trying to find looks like a little kid. Level up happens after accepting his request.
This is my first souls game. Anybody want to give me some help? Im playing as a normal knight and just beat Phalanx. I didn't know where to go next so I went back to the nexus and had a cut scene then talked to the monumental. This is my first time at the shop (other than the guy inside the first level) should I buy anything specific? Should I repair my sword/shield? What should I do with the hero souls and lead soul I collected? Should I consume the hero souls? If so, when? Should I leave anything with Thomas? (I already gave him that hair item) .. help!! Lol
I’m so confused, I gave the fire demon soul to blacksmith ed, that starts the process to use demon boss souls. I rescued freke and do have the spider demon boss soul. How come I can’t learn fire spray magic??? I’m so confused.
I have so many questions. I’m high lmao. I’m on new game plus about lv 100 focusing on a high magician build. I have the crescent falchion +5 but want something better.
Can anyone help me? I'm using on of the katanas and it's already on +6 or something, but I wanted to change my weapon and upgrade it, but the blacksmith only shows updates for my main katana, what am I doing wrong?
If you like the Crescent Falchion, rock. A crescent Kilij has slightly better sweep range. It really depends on what you like. If it's curved swords, you're not going to do a whole lot better.
@@dannysandoval8296 What are you going for? That's what makes the build, if you want Magic Recovery, then by all means, go Crescent (I like the Broadsword) Silver Catalyst/Coronet, and Fragrant Ring. If you're going for Damage, make that the Krisblade, Magical Sharpness, Monk's Hood.... I don't recommend mixing and matching over minmaxing. With Magic, pick one, and stack up as much as you can. Recovery doesn't do you a whole lot of good if you can't kill them before they kill you. Then, you get a full blue bar anyway, and there's always spice. (I do go for Recovery, but I'm a Spell/Sword hybrid, so I can.)
I gave Ed the searing demon soul but there is no new upgrades available. I’ve looked everywhere online and no luck. I checked and there is no more searing demon soul in my inventory
@@Vaegir808 yea that was it i think. i firmly believe that 85% of the people that got the trophy for fully upgraded blade weapon used the dupe. including me. so RNG heavy
@@im_cart8656 And having people from the souls community dropping one for ya lol. Good Times for that Plat. My God that awful drop rate for the Pure Bladestone still baffles me.
@@Fextralife I'm so funking dumb! I simply downgraded my Crescent Falchion +1 to the normal Falchion. Dod damn! I'm so dumb hahahah! Its possible to upgrade to became Crescent again?
@@leonardorolla6246 Ouch that sucks. You can upgrade any weapon to crescent by talking to Ed and using Darkmoonstone. Details demonssouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Crescent+Upgrades
You have to give him the searing demon soul, which he will only take after you exhaust his dialogue and have killed armor spider and flamelurker in that playthrough
@@Fextralife Thanks a lot on the advise, really appreciated. And I just found out certain upgrades requires you to upgrade your weapons to be at least +4. To those who might also confused.
Making Weapons out of Boss souls is utterly confusing. The game does a piss poor job at explaining it. Besides the swollen demon soul weapons. What do the other boss souls do?

Also, if you end up getting online, and you want to summon me for help or something, let me know. Sounds like it would be fun. I could either try to help you beat bosses, or I could see if there's a way to help you get pure white character tendency by killing me or something lol.
I think when i master the upgrade system in this game i'll also become a master in smithing IRL
quality vid. thanks
I'm hardcore souls veteran and I still ant wrap my head around this upgrade system.
You can always reference the wiki when confused: demonssouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Upgrades
Love your videos love your channel!! Thank you!!
Please please please do a video specifically focusing on what level up on your character helps out your weapons.. thank you ☺️
I wiped my +5 quality long sword like the smooth brain I am. 😭
Just did the same thing and mine was +7 and I’m pissed 😭😭😭
I love the souls games, but my biggest gripe is you basically need to do hours worth of research in order to effectively play these games Lol
Look at the thumbnail for a sec and i was like
Asmongold!
lol Asmongold fans are everywhere
@@raz8871 ikr
Damn I used the searing soul before I knew what theu where for 😅😢
First time playing a souls game, always looked way to much for me to handle, but I’m ready now and I have no clue what I’m doing progression wise
How do you get to the blacksmith Ed? The mechanism that goes up and down is not moving and I've looked everywhere.
Watch the walkthrough video or use the map demonssouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Smithing+Grounds
The suond track some scary 😮
Don't forget unique weapons and the rare colorless demon souls.
I did a build with Moonlight Sword and Adjudicator Shield. Such a pain, but worth getting 10 Colorless Souls lol
i have a doubt, i have a +7 claymore but i want to upgrade with crushing do i need to reset the updrages to 0 or get to +10? i have some greystone shards but blacksmith ed won't give me the option to upgrade.
Question: so for instance with the dragonstone upgrade, it adds fire damage but it comes at the cost of any stat bonus? Does that mean that my strength scaling bonus on a long sword would go away on a dragon long sword?
yes
This game is nuts. I feel like I’m back playing fallout 3 for the first time, not knowing anything about fallout. I hope to be able to rip n tear down the line with a dumbass dexterity build
It hides everything and tell u nothing so of course ur gonna miss everything cool and u most likely will miss most of them because plus six weapons with certain boss souls witch is stupid u get one chance to make the weapon if u uprade past that point of new weopen the see ya to that weapon
Still toooo many stones ://
So if I have a dexterity build, should I use the sharp kilij+5 or the regular kilij+10?
I upgraded my bow to plus8- I have the flame lurker soul, can I not upgrade to the lava bow now? Does it have to be plus 7?
It must be the exact level that the wiki says it cannot be above or below.
The clearstone path requires a Normal+3 weapon. If I go past that to Normal+4, does that lock me out of the clearstone path?
How and where you trade boss souls for wepons?
You need the Red Hot Demon Soul (now called Seering Demon Soul). Have it in your inventory and talk to Blacksmith Ed in 2-1.
You get this Seering Demon Soul from beating Flamelurker in 2-2.
@@shawny2scrawny thanks!!
I accidentally upgraded my dragonswrd with melt stone because now it’s just a regular long sword. How do I get another fire sword?
Is it possible to change my moonlight gs so that it scales with intelligence ?
My lizzards in 2-2 don't respawn after killing bosses. Does it work ony with 2-3 and 2-4 bosses?
I haven't tried upgrading my weapons to anything else since I've been using the same knight default sword since the beginning but I feel like putting flame damage +5 on that sword is really fucking strong. like to the point where the game wasn't even that challenging after you upgrade it to 4 an 5 because you can pierce damage and normal light damage. Most bosses I was doing 250+ damage but I think most of them were weak against fire but they are still pretty fucking strong which is insane
I’ve beaten the phalanx twice without dying (started over) but I can’t do anything past that. I need help. I’m in a loop
Go back to the nexus, level up there then I'd recommend smithing grounds
go back to nexus then you can unlock upgrading and unlock the other archstones. i recommend going into 4-1 and getting the crescent falcion
Thabk you
I think I’m going to enjoy Starfield’s design more than NMS’
I have the club, swollen soul, and flame lurker soul and the choice to upgrade doesnt show up when I go to the smith. What am I doing wrong?
To be able to craft upgrades: 1. you must have defeated both armored spider and flamelurker on this playthrough. 2. you must talk to ED until you exhaust all dialogue. 3. the soul must be in your inventory 4. only after giving him the soul will he do upgrades. You may need to reset the archstone by traveling in and out after giving him the soul. Details on this are on the Upgrades page: demonssouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Upgrades
@@Fextralife thank you so much. I watched the whole video and I could've sworn I brought all the necessary equipment to forge it. I feel so dumb. Thanks again your channel has helped me with all the soulsborne games.
Does anyone know how to upgrade your health , stamina ? When I talk to the Lady she just tells me to go upstairs.
I'm assuming you already beat the first boss.
Then you should go upstairs. After the second stairs, you'll reach a small room that can show you your own stats.
Find the stairs in there. Then keep going up. The person you're trying to find looks like a little kid.
Level up happens after accepting his request.
How and were can I level up the moonlight greatsword and the adjudicator shield ?
This is my first souls game. Anybody want to give me some help? Im playing as a normal knight and just beat Phalanx. I didn't know where to go next so I went back to the nexus and had a cut scene then talked to the monumental. This is my first time at the shop (other than the guy inside the first level) should I buy anything specific? Should I repair my sword/shield? What should I do with the hero souls and lead soul I collected? Should I consume the hero souls? If so, when? Should I leave anything with Thomas? (I already gave him that hair item) .. help!! Lol
I have dragonstone shards and chunks but the option to get my halberd to dragon is not there
My claymore is +6 if I make it crushing is it gonna reset its level ?
I’m so confused, I gave the fire demon soul to blacksmith ed, that starts the process to use demon boss souls. I rescued freke and do have the spider demon boss soul. How come I can’t learn fire spray magic??? I’m so confused.
I have +6 knight sword, how can i add the crushing upgrade?
What about colorless demons souls? Top upgrade special weapons!
I have so many questions. I’m high lmao. I’m on new game plus about lv 100 focusing on a high magician build. I have the crescent falchion +5 but want something better.
I upgraded a weapon and made it worse how can i return it to its original stats?
Can anyone help me? I'm using on of the katanas and it's already on +6 or something, but I wanted to change my weapon and upgrade it, but the blacksmith only shows updates for my main katana, what am I doing wrong?
What do dexterity bonuses do?
Head still spinning. O.o
I have +8 estoc and I can’t make it crescent it doesn’t give me a option what do I do
i just found out this isnt a single player games. after dieing a gagillion times soloing it...
Damn demons souls is killing covid 19
So when does crescent path become available specifically for estoc +5 or +6
demonssouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Crescent+Upgrades You just need the materials at the right time. Check Estoc page as well
What is the strongest unique weapon?
i dont get how these upgrade paths become available do weapon have to be +3?
Is hiltless upgradeable?
I used my searing demon soul for more souls ,is there anyway a can undo it?
Unfortunately no, you can restart or go to new game plus.
Uhhhh i consumed my searing soul after acquiring it... am I screwed?
Yep. Never consume boss souls
You can get it again on ng+ or have a friend drop you one.
@@Fextralife LOL. FML. I have no idea what I am doing. I am cashing in my souls like a junkie at a pawn shop.
Is it worth leveling the crescent falchion or would it be better to save the upgrade mats to turn a uchigatana or another weapon into crescent
Get a piercing weapon with that buff. Piercing is the best damage type in demon souls
If you like the Crescent Falchion, rock. A crescent Kilij has slightly better sweep range. It really depends on what you like. If it's curved swords, you're not going to do a whole lot better.
Those other weapons don't have the MP regen ability though. So if you're not a caster you can do whatever but if you are id keep the crescent.
@@dannysandoval8296 What are you going for? That's what makes the build, if you want Magic Recovery, then by all means, go Crescent (I like the Broadsword) Silver Catalyst/Coronet, and Fragrant Ring. If you're going for Damage, make that the Krisblade, Magical Sharpness, Monk's Hood.... I don't recommend mixing and matching over minmaxing. With Magic, pick one, and stack up as much as you can. Recovery doesn't do you a whole lot of good if you can't kill them before they kill you. Then, you get a full blue bar anyway, and there's always spice. (I do go for Recovery, but I'm a Spell/Sword hybrid, so I can.)
@@Psiberzerker I'm a caster myself that's why I prefer the crescent sword.
I love spamming that shit out of my spells so I need that mp regen.
Just destroyed king allant with a plus 4 quality secret dagger with magic weapon XD
What is are silver demon souls, hard demon souls, and dragon demon souls
Defeat flamelurker. Oh okay so guess i aint get boss weapons right now
I gave Ed the searing demon soul but there is no new upgrades available. I’ve looked everywhere online and no luck. I checked and there is no more searing demon soul in my inventory
You have to get back to the Nexus and pay him another visit then.
@@greedymrc8760 Did it, still doesn't work
And you have the mats in your bags?
I have this issue as well. Trying to get flame spray with freke and I already have the spider demon soul.
@@Nahojism what do you mean mats? I’m trying to get flame spray with spider demon boss soul to freke. I already gave Ed the flame boss soul.
Should we bother reapiring weapons and armour??
Yes it becomes very inefficient once durability runs out
This game barely has any upgrades i wish they added more. Also material farming is too fast should of made the drops more rare.
Hahaha, yep
is sharpstone still nearly impossible to find?
sharpstones are easy. Bladestones are not.
1-4 you can get chunks and large shards off 2 lizards in the beginninh
You can buy sharpstone shards and large sharpstone from the filthy man in 2-2
@@Vaegir808 yea that was it i think. i firmly believe that 85% of the people that got the trophy for fully upgraded blade weapon used the dupe. including me. so RNG heavy
@@im_cart8656 And having people from the souls community dropping one for ya lol. Good Times for that Plat. My God that awful drop rate for the Pure Bladestone still baffles me.

@@Fextralife bro I just maxed out my weopons LMFAOOOOO FML 😂
@@Fextralife all those bosses 😭 it could’ve been easier 😂

👁👄👁
I accidentally hit blacksmith Ed anyway I can get him back
I got a Meltstone Shard, but I can't seem to use it. How do I do?
A weapon that can be reset will show up at blacksmith Ed. Be careful this removes all your upgrades and does not give you back ores or souls spent!
@@Fextralife I'm so funking dumb! I simply downgraded my Crescent Falchion +1 to the normal Falchion. Dod damn! I'm so dumb hahahah! Its possible to upgrade to became Crescent again?
@@leonardorolla6246 Ouch that sucks. You can upgrade any weapon to crescent by talking to Ed and using Darkmoonstone. Details demonssouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Crescent+Upgrades
I can’t upgrade boss weapons right?
I can’t believe I wasted my demon soul for more souls 😭😭😭
Is there any way to undo it
I already gave him the soul and still can’t upgrade any swords. Most are at +8 and my large swords are at +10.... what’s going on
Special upgrades are specific - see the charts here to see when each type of weapon can be upgraded to what: demonssouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Upgrades
@@Fextralife yeah I fucked up. But thanks. Going through everything again from demon souls to dark souls then squeeze in blood borne.
How do I upgrade the kris blade?
You need colorless Demon souls and to have given ed the searing demon soul
Will my long sword keep it's +4 stats if I upgrade it with Dragonstone?
For some reason I can’t give the lurker soul even though I have it.
You have to have defeated Flamelurker and Armored Spider on this playthrough. You also have to exhaust his dialogue. Talk to him a bunch, then reload.
@@Fextralife Thanks so much. Have a good day
I’ve encountered a weird issue, the 2-1 blacksmith doesn’t do advanced upgrades for me, even though I have all the ingredients required.
You have to give him the searing demon soul, which he will only take after you exhaust his dialogue and have killed armor spider and flamelurker in that playthrough
@@Fextralife Thanks a lot on the advise, really appreciated. And I just found out certain upgrades requires you to upgrade your weapons to be at least +4. To those who might also confused.
Can someone give me the Monk hat i can duplicate per Cloud save i cant invade for some reason
You can only invade in soul form, try that
So unnecessarily complicated to new players, makes me not want to care but that’s just me
Not really

Making Weapons out of Boss souls is utterly confusing. The game does a piss poor job at explaining it. Besides the swollen demon soul weapons. What do the other boss souls do?
