Then you have the skeletons, which require some caution and skill, but I managed just fine with my sword and spells. The worms can be avoided and even then die quickly if you have to fight. The flying Steve Irwin killers (good motivation to slay these monsters) die within a single hit if you have some decent ranged attack. Shadow monsters will die instantly and stop responding after killing the Reaper who sits around in the room you find yourself in, which has a slow attack that you can dodge. It is not that bad, despite some of these threats sound pretty scary. If it weren’t for some narrow halls where the Shadowlurkers wouldn’t blast me to oblivion, I would have had a much easier time here. The enemies consist of Reapers who control shadowy figures (Shadowlurkers), giant worms, flying stingrays, an optional fight of a samurai-like character, and skeletons. I was debating on the first area of the game to kick things off, but honestly, Archstone of the Shadowmen is by far the easiest place when appropriately leveled. Archstone of the Shadowmen “Shrine of Storms” – World 4 Archstone of the Chieftain “Valley of Defilement” – World 5 5. Finally, I will consider the level design as some make it so infuriating purely on the structure of these labyrinths.ĥ) 1. Secondly, I am looking at the enemies whether that means the challenge of fighting average foes or defeating the epic bosses that this fantasy landscape offers, I will take this into account.

So, my time going through each level might differ if you were more of a tank or a bleed build or whatever else you decided to choose when embarking on this brutal journey. First of all, I played as a Royalty class, the magic build that essentially makes the whole experience way easier, a trend across the Dark Souls trilogy too. So, for the start of FromSoftware’s journey into making difficult RPGs (that are also weirdly wet), I thought ranking all five of the worlds in Demon’s Souls from easiest to hardest would be a great idea.īefore we dive in, let’s look at how I will determine my rankings. That said, it is known for being difficult, or really anything that Hidetaka Miyazaki has touched, like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro. The Bluepoint remake is an absolute masterpiece, making it one of the best games I have played. While I have Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Spider-Man: Miles Morales to play, I first jumped into Astro’s Playroom and Demon’s Souls.

As I recently got lucky to acquire a PS5 finally, I can enjoy all of the latest tech and games for the newest PlayStation generation.
