Lol, oh my god... I just found out there were 4 NPCs I never even noticed right in the Nexus right from the start of the game... sweet jesus that would have made last time a lot easier. A mage, a priest, and two dialogue/lore buffers. Hot damn, miracles and sorcery!

So I've started my 2nd serious attempt at playing through Demons' Souls.
Just like the first time, the story is captivating to me. They really really fleshed out this world, and I love it. I hope they give it a revamp at some point, because this ***is baller. If they do, I hope they finish and add in the removed area. The zone already has a base model in the game files.

I heard they might make a spiritual successor at one point. Apparently Bloodborne and DeS are related if you got the secret ending. I never got it (or finished the game... I need to get the DLC for it.) so take that with a grain of salt.

lol! I was going to respond to the missing area in DeS but all I had to say was "its pretty big too" so I deleted it instead. S-shut up..

You know, I don't feel sorry for Maiden Astraea at all. People of the faith in Souls games always prove to be brainless or evil for the most part, and she was no exception.
Also *** her boss room. Not hard to deal with, but the fact that those abortions can essentially teleport and surround you is pretty lame.

Hmmm...
So just finished DS2... I was expecting another boss fight. Apparently
Aldia never showed up in my game for some reason. I guess they are supposed to show up in a few areas, in a certain order... but I never saw them, at all.

Beat Demon's Souls. All in all, I understand why it was easy, but can't help but be a little disappointed in the ending. Was also glad I killed the Vanguard demon on my first playthrough, because apparently you don't go back through the tutorial like in Dark Souls.

-Wake up with a million souls free and 24 concord items lol I like that this could work in theory, but in all likely hood you will wake up with no souls and no covenant items. Any other result is pure luck.
As for not getting summoned to do the work for the covenant often... it depends on level range, because beyond a certain point people aren't leveling up due to the meta. Not to say that you won't get summoned, but I can literally play all day with the Darkmoon Covenant on, and never leave the summonable area, and get summoned less than the amount of fingers I have on one hand.

Im aware of the level range conditions, so I stayed at 107. Online of course, and in a spot where I can use my red orb to invade people.
I didn't know about the flashing icon though..does the boss area have to be alive? I killed him to that I don't get invaded while afk.

For getting summoned by Loyal Spirit covenants, you just have to be outside of a boss room, anywhere in the game world almost. You are more likely to be summoned into the same area you are in, but you can be summoned anywhere in the world(at least as a Darkmoon).

Just went on to the undead settlement, got invaded right away, killed the invader, then I noticed the Darkmoon icon flashing. Not sure if it's been flashing before...but I went back to the area I afk'd at last night and the icon was also flashing, signifying co-op viability.
I'll just wait and see again.

It'll flash in any non boss room, non cutscene area.

Using guides now to finish my trophy collecting, have all the spells outside of covenant specific ones, missing 2 gestures, 1 of which seems really easy to get so odd I missed it on 2 playthroughs.
And well predictably, a lot of rings missing!

Had a musing or two about Demon's Souls and Dark Souls.
So The Old One is kinda like a giant tree. He's all woody looking and crazy huge! In the final area where you meet him, and then go inside of him... it's a beach with ruins and GIANT swords stuck in the ground everywhere. It reminded me of Ash Lake from Dark Souls, which is the only place you can see Archtrees. It made me think, what if an Archtree is just the end state of a Demon that finally collected enough souls? Or better yet, what if that is true, but the demons are actually just like the Kin from Bloodborne? We know that in Bloodborne the Kin are related to plants and fungus type things from deep space(lumenflowers, sunflowers, weird fungus head rune that makes you Kin element). I know the demons in Dark Souls don't really share the same kind of demonic appearance as the Kin or the demons in Demon's Souls, but Demon's souls and Bloodborne have a similarity in that the Demon's/Beasts can be anyone. Cthulu trees, whooooo oooohhh wooooooooo

CSS is strongest staff for non-dark sorceries and buffs at 50+ INT.
Sage's Crystal Staff beats CSS if you use the steady chant skill. 40% buff compared to normal 12.5% of other staffs.
Yorshka's Chime is best at 50+ FTH for non-dark miracles.
Izalith staff is best for dark sorceries.
Caitha's Chime is best for dark miracles.

From 1.03. I'm pretty sure none of the items' scaling or spell buff stat changed in the patch.
The Izalith staff and Caitha's Chime will have the highest actual spell buff #, but the FTH scaling on Izalith staff only applies to dark sorceries; and the same with Caitha's Chime on the INT scaling only applying to dark miracles.
Which leads those two catalysts to have a misleading spell buff.
