Glitches you can do in Demon's Souls (PS3) 

My first ever glitch video!

There's this glitch where if you turn the game off, it always stays on in your heart

Demon's souls is still online through private servers, all you have to do is change your primary DNS to 174.58.114.198

Unlimited ephemeral eyes. *Laughs in world tendency

*sees upload date *sees comment section "so it has returned..."

I'm replaying this game after watching the trailer for the remake. Didn't know I could spam fire storm like a mad man

There's also a quite strange glitch tied to Old King Allant where he'll suddenly have some very stiff animations for his attacks where his arms will barely move, yet his body still shifts as if he was doing the attack. My brother ran into it a few years back and we have no idea how to replicate it

I remember the second maneater just flew away and never came back during my fight

phobia(intro): "so as the old addage goes" me: "fear the old blood

I've duped every ore and boss soul in the game, and I won't be sorry until a get a fucking pure bladestone

This game is the crown jewel of my PS3 collection.

The most interesting exploit in my opinion was the one that allowed you to use normally unusable items, which among other things could allow phantoms to become hosts in other people's worlds. Doing so could allow you to rewrite world state, reviving bosses and changing world tendency depending on where you were and whose world you were in. A fun list nonetheless though!

Great video! Here are some other fun glitches I've come across: You can summon phantoms into an area where you've already defeated the boss by having another player lay down their sign near the borderline where the boss's fog gate used to be. Then the host quickly runs back and forth across the borderline in order to rapidly reload available signs. You can block attacks without the brief stun animation by tapping L1 at the right moment as if parrying an incoming attack. After parrying an enemy, you can tap square and R1 simultaneously. The enemy will be riposted and go into the animation of being attacked, but the player will go into the animation of using the hotkey item (and actually use it). By jumping off a ledge behind the Black Skeleton past the illusory wall at the beginning of Shrine of Storms 2, the player can reload right before falling to their death. They will spawn in the Storm King boss arena.

"...[Maneaters] is the first boss in the souls series to have two enemies attacking the player at once." Apart from Fool's Idol, the boss right before it.

one of the most well made and professionally done videos about the soul series, especially from a smaller up loader, i have seen. congratulations

Can we just acknowledge the fact this guy only has 11,000 subs despite having super high quality content? I just think it’s crazy and makes me wonder how many other hidden gems are on RU-vid

This video is delightful. The tunes are great, the editing and sequencing are fantastic, and the narrator has such an appeasing tone. On top of that, the Item Duplication glitch is something I'd never known about! Thanks!

Stockpile Thomas glitch was fuckin amazing

DeS is to me what DS1 is for others. DeS was my first of the souls series and my nostalgia trip that I find myself going back to, and the only reason I still have my PS3.

The self-duplication glitch with stockpile Thomas works for everything except armor and weapons. So no more farming for grass, ore, ammo, souls, etc.

Wonderfully edited video, I loved how all the transitions and textboxes matched the game perfectly!

This was a great video, I completely set aside everything I was doing and watched it. That might not sound like much, but I'm the type to usually just listen to videos. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, you never said anything redundant, you explained things in detail without repeating yourself and artificially increasing the video length. Great watch. Hope to see more!

RU-vid algorithm recommending videos for 4 years ago before servers went private.

There was a glitch that I found a long time ago, I skipped the entire Latria world. I wanted to help a player in 3-1, but then I was summoned by the monk. I didn't want to be summoned as a red phantom, so I killed my character when the message was showed. After the loading screen, I was in front of the monk to fight him. So I was able to skip 3-2 and 3-3. Of course, I could also kill the maneaters from behind.

We need a remaster

rip demons souls online

I was fortunate to get demons souls a month after it came out and I remember spending over a year lurking the internet for information on this game. I loved the demons souls wiki and I knew about all of these (and used them) except for number 2, I saw that for the first time during AGDQ this year. My friend and I spent weeks trying to learn everything that this game has to offer, I remember even using the soulsucker spell on black phantom skeletons in shrine of storms during ng+ trying to get the most souls that I could, I probably spent hours and hours doing that before learning about duping. Farming ephemeral stones was a bitch, I would repeatedly kill those giant club dudes in 5-3 blank phantoms, it was such a pain in the ass. This game is really special to me, I still remember the very first time I saw it and bought it the next day. Great video dude!

“PLeAsE DO noT tRy tHIs AT hoMe.” where else imma try it ?

hey I just found your channel and I subbed :) Also I wanted to share another glitch colorless demon soul glitch 1-All you have to do is attack the primeval demon until it's health is low enough to be killed in one hit 2-try invading with the black stone 3-when the message "invading as a black phantom" pops a second time kill it and loot it 4-let yourself be killed by the host 5-enjoy the primeval demon is alive again and it will drop another soul you can repeat the process as many times needed I don't take credit for it's discovery but it was really useful and it was the only glitch I used on demS also nowadays it's almost impossible to pull of since almost no one plays this game anymore :(

Superb video in every single way keep it up man you deserve like +1M, no joke.

Hey man, I just found your content through my recommendations. Really love these glitch videos. Keep up the great work!

excellent channel dude! gonna binge your videos.

Man Eater glitch was popular because back when the game was new and people didn't know how to build their characters or how weapon upgrades worked, people would often have too little DPS to kill the first man eater before the 2nd one showed up. So they'd end up fighting both at once, which is a lot harder than fighting just one. You can duplicate consumables using the multiplayer dupe glitch, it's just kinda pointless with Thomas duping. Only really useful for muling.

cant even do the weapon duplication anymore. RIP DeS servers

You forgot the soul sucker exploit. In pvp, instead of killing players, it drains player’s soul level and grants you one as well. If one player were to carry as much spice as possible, they could keep sucking levels out of another player. However, if the player losing levels closes out of the game, that player would only lose one level no matter how many times he got his level sucked. I believe that exploit still worked up until they shut down the servers

Phobia, just wanted to let you know your videos really are some of my favorite. With a good mix of fun and intelligence along with interesting music I love seeing these videos.

Solid work dude, never heard anything about that minister glitch before.

There is one pretty unknown glitch with the old monk. that allows you to skip all of stage 3. You just need to get summoned as champion for the old monk, and die before the loading screen. If timed correctly, it warps you to the old monk fight, but not as champion, but as challenger. If you win the fight, you are done with stage 3. I once even managed to warp straight into the boss room, where a red phantom already waited for me. Pretty hilarous, since he had no idea why I did not enter through the fog gate, but instead warped right in front of him.

These videos are great, man. Thanks so much for your hard work!

I played this game a lot and I didn't know half of these, interesting.

Why tf do you only have 8K subs?? Your videos are quite insightful and very detailed. Good vid

how do you not have at leat 100k subs. you deserve more.

Another great video 👍 Never played the PS3 version, but I’d be super curious how many of these glitches work in the remaster - Guess I’ll be checking out your other video soon!

Great video and a really interesting watch. I would love to see you do a Glitch video for Dark Souls 2. I'm especially interested in hearing about the Burnt Ivory King not attacking glitch cuz it happened to me and confused the hell out of me. Gave me a free win, though.

Guess who just became your 1,000th sub? Keep up the good content, man!

Item duping spared everyone from farming pure bladestone for the trophy.

Great vid as always phobiasoft.

Two interesting things from my Japanese copy: 1: When I try the dup glitch, my Nex. Binding ring still warps me even if I rapidly press O out the menu. However when I speak to Thomas he has 99-1023 of the item. 2: When I drop below out of bounds, my 2nd character didnt land on the tunnel and died. However when loaded back in he was behind the boss too. Great video man! Thanks for reading this if you do

So thats how dsp grinded to lvl 100 early game

its incredible that the online servers are still running w lots of player ghosts. I wish they would port it to ps4, with improved graphics. a true classic game.

Even after all these years, even with all those glitches...this game still give me goosebumps for all amazing experiences I had while playing it. Not to mention it marked the start of souls series. It's a surprise/shame we never had a remake.

Great video! Please do more vids on souls series glitches, very interesting!

Good video! While it didn't make the list, it's actually possible to summon a blue or red phantom in an area where a boss is already defeated. With this exploit, you can PvP in boss arenas or get help fighting some of the nastier Black Phantom NPCs.

I remember doing all of this back in 2011 when I first played it. God this brings back memories. Now we have the remake I can't wait to play this game with a fresh coat of paint and hopefully fixed mechanics!

11:52 lol that's me (the invader) good video bro!

Great quality nice commentary great vid man

Nice list. I don't know if you were interested in more glitches, but there are a lot more. Move-swapping and tumble buffing. (Just like in DS1) Using unusable items, dropping undroppable items, becoming a host in while summoned, resetting your world to that of a summoned player, current equip item duplication (Throw a firebomb, but don't lose the quantity of firebombs), There is quite a few out of bounds areas as well, and my favorite, the Infinite moment glitch. I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but if your curious about these I can show/ make videos.

The back of the spider and the fat minister undying are the only ones I didn't know of. I used the item duplication glitch...but no others. I used it because I had read/heard that a group of people were going to pvp on the game so I wanted to get in on that action. At least I was pretty far (I just killed the Flamelurker). I was under leveled for my progress, however, and didn't feel overpowered at all the rest of the playthrough. It was fun as hell, and was my second Souls game, a year before Dark Souls 2 came out.

even though i knew about all of them it was still a great video :) keep up the good work

thank you very much man seeing this is going to help me with the pesky dual boss

I always duped grass when I played. Can never have too much grass ;) Will probably do it with a sharp stone if I ever get one

Demon Souls remastered thats all I need from the PS5 :'(

Why Demon Souls have better graphics than Dark Souls 2

I wonder if the dragon headstone soul dupe glitch from Dark souls 1 is a carry-over of the spell swap glitch. As the two have almost identical inputs

I thought you might of mentioned the sequence break of skipping the Old Hero fight and going straight to the Storm Demon fight. Rolling off the side just after the adjudicator fight/stone and then quitting the game and to restart widen you hear your hero scream. If done properly you will start where the Storm Demon fight will take place. To trigger it run back to the fog gate where the old hero fight would of taken place loading in the smaller mantis like demons.

Justin TV, what a throw back

Great vid, the nostalgia was real

Fantastic work!

the old adage is actually fear the old blood

This was an awesome video

I used the item duplication trick (which also works with upgrade materials) to duplicate Pure Bladestones to help other players skip the annoying grinding for one to get the Platinum trophy.

great vid man!

A glitch I've found is if you were to die try turning off the console before "You've died" text popped up. That way you still have full health and the game will dropped you off at last save point which is sometimes at the fog door.

tHoU WhO sEEkeTh

great video man

Nice work here ! :)

Sad that the ones involving summons/invaders are unreachable now, though no need to worry about spell-swapping invaders now.

I remember in this game I accidently hit the Vendor in one of the areas. Turned out being one of the most needed vendors to upgrade a number of weapons. He then attacks you from then on and you cannot buy, or upgrade, anything from then on in game and this was after playing about 20 or 30 hours. Pissed me off!

You need to make more content man. Your stuff is FANTASTIC

May I ask what font you are using in these videos? :) Great video by the way! The only thing that was new to me was the Fat Minister glitch! ^^

The Boss Spider one was amazing.

theres another exploit that not many people know about i guess, but you can drop undroppable items like the red eye stone. to do this you must have at least 3 consumables that you will eat (reccomended crescent moon grass) and have the 3 grasses arranged above the undroppable item (red eye stone in this case) so in your items tab of you inventory there would be 3 grass and a red eye stone underneath it. then you have to quickly select and eat the 3 grasses from the menu one after the other and right after the 3rd grass you would quickly press X again on the last grass before it would dissappear from your inventory and the normal prompt window for grass would pop up, but you would be hovering over the red eye stone now because the grass is gone, the game thinks theres still 1 more grass left and treats the red eye stone as a grass and lets you choose the "drop" command. this glitch/exploit is very helpful because you can give your friend a red eye stone without him having to beat the game first. It also leaves the glowing item sprite on the ground even though the item was picked up.

Excellent excellent video! Love it!

Seem to recall I used the Maneater glitch when I was going for the Platinum. You had to beat the game 3 and 1/2 times to do that. So I wanna say I did it on the 3rd, and the 1/2 playthrough, just to get it done quicker. Fought the boss normally the first couple times of course.

You snipe the first maneater through the fog and then run inside next to the stairs wait for it to stop flying around and land then just POISON the crap out of the other one with its back turned to you.. I

the duplication glitch of droping items to a friendly summon still works for the whole dark souls serie also, except bloodborne because it doesn't have a "drop" command

Amazing vid!

Great video!

The one axe in that game where the r1 attacks knocked people over. PvP was fun

Great video, now WHERES DU FLIPPIN DEMON SOULS REMASTER

I get playing the NG+ and beyond for the boss demons souls that have multiple uses, but the dupe glitch was a godsend for the upgrade path trophies and reaper farming.

I knew most, but definitely not all. Crazy there we so many. The one I used the most was in the world of the flying manta ray snipers where I would use the crows to get unlimited Colorless Demon Souls. (Dont roast me if I got the name of that wrong, it's been a few years)

Interesting that Stockpile Thomas' duplication glitch results in a 1023 stack of consumables. 1024 is the maximum number accessible by ten binary switches - I wonder if that speaks to Demon's Souls code or it's just a coincidence.

This needs more views.

You just earned yourself a subscription, son.

well done video. thanks!

I'm your 1000th subscriber

Hmmmmmmm playing windmills music in your souls video. A crucial, but often skipped addition to any souls video!

Good video. I think that it's worth mentioning how it's possible to drop boss souls and infinite use items, which is valuable for giving away those items to other players online. My favorite exploit that isn't a game changer is using Wrath of God to attack people outside of the boss room while playing as the Old Monk.

There is a Dragon god sequence break, After using the first harpoon there are some stairs that take you to the next sequence. Jump off the second top of the stairs and try to land on the railing. Jump off the railing and you should be in the outer area where you finish dragon god at the end, from there you will go towards the next harpoon without the stress of dragon god trying to burn you there will be a opening to jump back into the sequence to the last piece of debris before the second harpoon. I hope this helps and i hope it made sense.
