@@moriyokiri3229 it's about the UI of RU-vid. at a certain length, the title gets cut off. The you have to hover with your cursor above it to see whether it's relevant or not.
What's great about this run is it can be done in 1 World, after the Phalanx. Pretty much as soon as you start in the Smithing Grounds, you can pick up a +1 Battleax of Crushing (Behind the Harkonnen guarding the boulder throwers, above the first entrance) as a great Strength weapon even if you start as a Hunter. It's basically a free upgrade for the base Battleax, and a good beater to get you through the level. Lots of chunks, and Greystone lying around, you have to beat up the Gorilla Demon to unlock Ed anyway, and he's right there at the start of the world, too. Finally, you get the DBS just in time to get an Arcdemon soul, and progress past the Tower Knight. This makes running a Stregth build extremely quick, once you know the level, it's practically a speed-run of 1 world. You come out of it with a weapon that can mash flat any opposition in other worlds.
@@Fiery_Latina_Goatchan_GF_681 Yeah, but you have to use something to kill her. You're right, that's a better ax, but the Crushing Battle Axe is free, and you can use that to get the endgame one.
Old king doran set no helmet was my original armor with this sword with no shield. I was obsessed with it when I found it in the original demons souls. So great to see someone give a beginner friendly build for this weapon since it's a blast to use 👍.
Did they patch the "glitch" where u still get the full buff of curse weapon when u cast with talisman of beasts while u don't hsbe the req to use it for thr less HP drain? Cause I got it curse weap on my NG+ run and trying with said glitch and I don't see it do much
So, question. I have 18 Intelligence/Magic and 30 Strength, enough to use both DBS and Cursed Weapon. I also have 16 faith, two less then what's needed to properly use the beast Talisman so I can get that all important 1 HP drain per sec while using Cursed Weapon. Whenever I use Cursed Weapon I don't see or feel any AR boost, what am I doing wrong?
It's a late reply but hopefully it helps. If you're playing the remake then you might be doing too much damage. The remake caps damage numbers at an enemy's HP (bosses are excluded from this) so if you're already doing enough damage to one-shot an enemy before casting Curse Weapon, you won't see any benefits from casting it. The spell will still be buffing your weapon, it just won't be obvious. I can tell you for sure that Curse Weapon does work with a cracked Talisman of Beasts because I'm playing this build myself right now. I have 10 Magic and 16 Faith, missing both requirements for the Talisman of Beasts, yet the damage is massively boosted compared to the usual damage when I hit bosses and/or black phantoms. However, I already do enough to one-shot basically every normal enemy, so if I casted Curse Weapon against regular enemies it wouldn't show any difference. I'm assuming that's what happened to you.
Does anyone know if BluePoint fixed the thing where if you use the Talisman of Beasts without the Magic required, it reduces the damage Curse Weapon does to you? Edit: Or Faith
Adjudicator Shield +5 is a 8 HP regen and Renenerator Ring is another +4 HP regen. I'm trying to do a tanky Strength/Faith build with Cursed Weapon, Evacuate and Second Chance.
@1:47 - how are you playing with DBS against the armoured spider when you get it much later on? is this NG? Also how are you playing with another player in souls form?
The frustrating thing about Fextralife videos is that a lot of the footage doesn’t match what is being talked about. I prefer reading the wiki, and watching the videos for entertainment value...
About the upgrades Is a dbs +2 or 3 strong enough to finish the game or will it eventually fall short? And what would be a good backup weapon the greataxe ?
Give blacksmith Ed the Searing Soul from the second boss(Flamelurker Aka the big flaming ape) of Stonefang. Ed will ask for it after a few "talks" so keep talking to him until he gives it to you. He's a bit of a preoccupied old man.
Havent watched the vid to know specifically what you might mean but this should help demonssouls.wiki.fextralife.com/New+Game+Plus What i dont see mentioned in it tho is that sometimes demon souls can be converted into two things which means that to get both, you would need to play a second playthrough for the soul again
NG+ happens right after you beat the game. It’s different because you start with your gear, stats, and weapons, enemies are harder to kill, and everything gives more souls.
Using this on ng+ don't think it worth the effort snd surely see a different basic mobs with mining picks for example tested even with dragon bone smasher took 3-4 hits which is dumb
@@donew1thita11 on the way to flame lurker from the armored spider bonfire. before you reach the ground level you should see a caved looking area while you're descending, you'll see him there
Talisman of Beasts requires 18 Magic and 18 Faith to use effectively. However when it comes to Cursed weapon, it's best to not meet the stat requirement for the ToB. It won't effect the damage buff, it will however lessen the health drain of Cursed Weapon. Normally it drains 1% of your HP, however when you don't meet the requirements, then it only drains 1 HP, which you can beat with the Regenerator's Ring, or the Adjudicator's Shield.
@@benakinnusi2518 You need 18 FTH and 18 Magic to use it to it's full potential. However if you just want to cast Cursed Weapon with reduced health drain, then you're good.
Dozer axe is only good for early game since it doesn’t scale. A crushing great axe is comparable to the DBS though not quite as good. I’m currently running a similar build using the guillotine axe and finding out the knights sword is just plain better but I feel more badass.
I didn't have pure white world and got this sword im very confused.....my game also gave me the hoplite shield without getting the digital edition so im thinking my shits bugged to hell.
If I'm currect I believe it's 125 but I'm not sure if it's different with demon souls. In this game there's a lot of things that are op just at the start of the game so if you just go through the game even a little bit and know what your getting you can pretty much one shot everyone, if you level up a lot it'll make everyone a high level but you'll have a harder time finding someone that you can one shot now that everyone is a higher level. So if you're into being a one shotting build I'd say soul level 30 or 40 would be a good level to stop at. But if you're wanting to actually play the game then just level up as much as you want. Either way people end up being strong as f lol
pvp is around 120 and 125 but will take a while to be alive because people need to finish there builds and there need to be more than 5 ps5 out there :D but lvl 120 is meta
Also slap on the Regenerator's Ring, Adjudicator's Shield, and a Blessed Weapon for the real immortality build. You can even pop the Regeneration miracle just in case you want another layer of HP regen.
As a user of the DBS in original DS this is an excellent guide Though i used warding because it is an amazing spell to reduce damage along with cursed blade
