The Cha Cha Slide Dance

Question: is it useful to have any miracles? Like Heal or remove poison, or hide from phantoms?

Great guide

Me, a casul: has the same build by coincidence

Note that all those magic damage boosting items also reduce damage absorption

I never tried Magic in a Souls Game before I first tried it tonight and it's awesome Expelliarmus .

Thanks

I ran out of mana and it never came back. Does it only regenerate if it’s not empty ?

What armor do you recommend ?

Thanks for the guide im a little late to the party . I have 18 vit 34 magic 23 int how should I keep leveling to get 50,40 ,30 how much should I put in wich order? Thx

Right so I have to wear that stupid hat?

I‘m a beginner and I wonder how to block arrows if I should equip a weapon in the second slot

I have the demons soul, why cant the blacksmith make the catalyst for me?

How do you hide helmets to get rid of the wrappings visual?

I’ve just found the cling ring - what ring should I replace with it - fragrant ring or providential ring?

Love this guide, really informative and straight to the point. Subbed!

So after a while of just using brute melee force, I followed this guide and am truly enjoying this. The game feels new, and I’m all in for trying new things.

Strength build for royalty please

How do you upgrade the Kris blade it's not letting me ?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to keep your catalyst in your main hand so you can two hand it for more damage? ( at least early game)

Hi please i need a help
Anibody notice a strange distortion sound from the controller when use the magic soul arrow ? Sometimes the sound of this spell have a bad sound
Like a strange noise not clear
I tried to another pad and the sound problem remain
Any suggestion or ideas ?thanks

Best guide ever, the website is awesome too 👍

OK, this is about what I expect for a Harry Potter game to work like hahaha Looks awesome

Another important tip for beginners, don’t swap back and forth from your “wand” catalyst. The silver catalyst boosts your max MP, but when you swap, it lowers your max MP, and when you swap back, it makes the bar longer but doesn’t actually fill it up!
If you swap weapons you’ll basically throw away several spells worth of MP for no reason.

So dual wield or just avoid swapping at any cost, unless your magic is already low… then it doesn’t matter.

It really sucks having the top portion of your MP disappear because you wanted to use a sword really quick…

How do I get that cool hat

Thanks, Fex!

I start with royalty class. Equip the scimitar in 1-1. Save the turpentine. Level Endurance to around 18. Head into 4-1 (fresh out of 1-1 after leveling endurance), and apply turpentine to the Scimitar. Kill all the skellies on the stairs and make way to red eye skeleton. Run around him and grab the Crescent Falchion +1. Jump off, re-enter zone. Farm this zone with the CF+1. Get the Talisman of God and Heal for 5000 souls early on. Now you have OP heals at low levels where grass is hard to come by -- the mana regen from CF+1 + Fragrant ring allows you to do endless heals throughout the early game. The heals and CF+1 destroy everything in Stonefang tunnel :) Farm 2-1 wraith to get CF+1 to CF+4.

Eventually I make this a Fighter Mage build: 40 vit, 40 end, 40 mag, 24 int, 16 str, 18 faith. 18 faith is for Talisman of Beasts. 16 str is for Dark Silver Shield as well as Crescent Kilaj + 5. Dull Gold Armor set or Fluted. Kris Blade +5. I destroy everything in this game with this build and mostly do melee combat. Kilij + 5 does so much damage with mag 40 and because it hits for like 400 and is sooo fast, stun locking.

What gift should I choose

we. must be playing different games as my royalty starting class has no such armor

Damn thnks great video

Great stuff, thanks!

Always wanted to do a magic build and figured start with the first Souls game. So far having a great time feeling like a god.

Or alternatively you could put a few points in faith and use the Beast Talisman and pick up second chance.

excellent video much better than most demons souls build guides

What’s The best starting gift?

I play the game without health bars. I dont pay attanetion to damage done. Just how fun it is to use. Boss fights are something...... not knowing if you are doijg nothing to them or an insane amount is intresting.

god i don't like you fex but this helped thank you

Nice video short sweet and very informative. 👍👍. Found your guide on your site and man you have a ton of builds. Figured id start with this one since im new to Demon Souls

Tried this build in my first playthrough and yeah...it's the easy mode. Beat every single boss on my first try. 😂

Around same level as the guide now (level 59)
Vit 25
Int 24
End 11
Str 14
Mag 35
Basically added some to END and STR to her better weapons and armor. Next 9 levels will be +4 to faith to used second chance and +5 to magic and get to 40.

Still only beaten around 8 bosses.

Crescent Kijiji +4 / Heater Shield +4

Silver Catalyst / Kris Blade

Magic sharpness ring

Half Dorran Armor, half magician

How do I find Freke?

LETSSS GOOOO
WE WINDOWSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I have a magician class and do not want to restart the game. Would this build still be effective?

Curious...why would I not have both catalyst and main melee weapon in main hand and just swap back and forth?

I did this in DS1 to great affect. Plus, this allows me to have a shield (heater shield) in off hand.

Royalty magic build is "Easy Mode" in Demon's Souls. It's easily the noisy OP build in the game.

When I just went to look at the spell merchant in the Nexus, a few of the spells you mentioned in the video weren't available. Do they become available later? For reference, just beat the Armor Spider.

So i never played any souls games until blood bourne and i absolutely hated that game. The game play mechanics were the worst i ever experienced. Then i played elden ring and fell in love with that game and played the hell out of it for months and beat it then played and beat the dlc for it and that was awesome to. With all that being said i just tried demon souls for the first time and i cant do it. I hate games like this that dont have a jump option and it felt very rigid compared to elden ring and it just felt boring in general to me not a fan. If you played elden ring before demon souls just save yourself the time and dont do it cause elden ring is the upgraded version of game play for souls games and anything before elden ring will feel terrible.

Is it just me or does Fextralife sound like a video game kink channel?

I waited for at least an hour to get summoned as the boss only for 3 people to walk through the door to just annihilate me. I was so pissed
