Compared to later entries in the Soulsborne<\/a> franchise, Demon\u2019s Souls<\/a> is a bit light when it comes to story and side quests \u2013 or so it seems. Because of World Tendency\u2019s many nuances, seeing every character & quest in Demon\u2019s Souls can be a genuine challenge. While BluePoint Games\u2019 PS5<\/a> remake has given Dark Souls<\/a>\u2019 predecessor new life, those just getting into Demon\u2019s Souls will need some direction in order to see everything the action RPG<\/a> offers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Demon\u2019s Souls side quests are subtle, quiet, and inform the world around the player while rewarding useful gear, weapons, or spells. A few of the game’s quests are hiding in plain sight \u2013 much like Dark Souls<\/a> \u2013 while others demand an understanding of how to influence Tendency between White & Black, and where exactly to explore within each stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Jade Hair Ornament<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Stockpile Thomas\u2019 side quest is a strong introduction to how Demon\u2019s Souls approaches side content. There\u2019s no trigger for a side quest when talking to Thomas. He simply tells the player how he left his wife and daughter to die before offering to store equipment. In the very first stage, players can find their corpses stringing from a balcony in the first watchtower with a shortcut.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By cutting their chains, players can then loot their bodies on the ground. The next time they interact with Stockpile Thomas, he\u2019ll request his daughter\u2019s Jade Hair Ornament. In exchange, players will have completed their first side quest, earned Stockpile Thomas\u2019 trust, and gotten a Ring of Herculean Strength to hold more items \u2013 even more useful than in the PS3 release, as Grass now has considerable weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Rescuing Yuria, The Witch<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

All of Demon\u2019s Souls\u2019 side quests are subtle, but they\u2019re not always as passive as Stockpile Thomas\u2019. Rescuing Yuria in 1-2 is a lengthy process that\u2019ll require players to hunt down Fat Officials between both Boletaria Palace and Stonefang Tunnel. After finding all four pieces of the Fat Official gear \u2013\u00a0Cap, Gloves, Clothing, Leggings \u2013 players must then get the Iron Ring of Keys from a Fat Official in 1-3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After that, the locked door in the final watchtower in 1-2 can be opened. By wearing the full Fat Official set, players will be able to sneak into Yuria\u2019s cell. A Fat Official will lower a staircase down to the player, where they\u2019ll be able to escape the dungeon and confront the Fat Official. Upon killing them, Yuria will return to the Nexus in order to teach the best magic in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Bior Versus The Penetrator<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In the same dungeon where Yuria is being held, players can also rescue Bior, of the Twin Fangs \u2013 an important character in Demon\u2019s Souls\u2019 lore and a valuable asset when tackling both 1-3 and 1-4. By killing the first Fat Official in the dungeon, players will be able to pick up the Bloody Iron Key and unlock Bior\u2019s cell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bior will thank the player and fall asleep, doing nothing of note until the fight against Penetrator in 1-3. If Bior has been saved, he\u2019ll rush through the fog gate and fight the Penetrator himself. On a first playthrough, Bior <\/span>will <\/span><\/i>be strong enough to kill the boss himself. Should he survive the fight, Bior will return in 1-4 to stall the Blue Dragon before the final fight with King Allant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Dragon Slayer<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

On the subject of dragons, it is possible to kill both the Red and Blue Dragon even if Demon\u2019s Souls never calls for it. Melee characters will need to look elsewhere, as defeating both Dragons requires either abusing arrows or magic from afar. The fact of the matter is that hitting either Dragon from up close just isn\u2019t an option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Dragon can be confronted anytime in 1-2 from the top of the watchtowers. As it wreaks havoc on the bridge, players will be able to comfortably snipe the Red Dragon from afar. The Blue Dragon can be fought in 1-4, either at its first rest stop on the bridge (where it\u2019ll fly away at half damage) or right in front of the Palace entrance (where it can be comfortably killed from the top of the stairs.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Latria Rescue<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Tower of Latria is arguably Demon\u2019s Souls\u2019 standout area, a haunting prison that morphs into an underworld that could stand as its own depiction of Hell. The Prison of Hope, Tower of Latria\u2019s introductory stage, features two prisoners who can be rescued and brought back into the Nexus \u2013\u00a0both of which offer the player valuable rewards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lord Rydell is found on 2F, where only a key found via Pure White Tendency can unlock his cell. Once freed, Rydell will give players the Dull Rat\u2019s Ring. Sage Freke can be found on 3F, locked in a cell that can only be opened with the Special Key (found by the Dregling who enchants the Fool\u2019s Idol.) After he returns to the Nexus, Freke will teach the player advanced magic spells in exchange for boss souls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Selen Vinland\u2019s Quest<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Selen Vinland is an obscure character and one very few players will actually end up seeing. Found exclusively in 5-2 (notoriously the game\u2019s hardest level,) Selen only appears when the Valley of Defilement is either in Pure White or Pure Black Tendency. When spoken to in Pure White, she\u2019ll reveal that she\u2019s looking for her brother Garl, one of 5-3\u2019s two bosses.<\/span><\/p>\n

To complete Selen\u2019s quest line and bring her peace of mind, players must fight Garl Vinland\u2019s Black Phantom in 5-3 (only after Astraea has been defeated and only in Pure White World Tendency.) Garl will drop the Crest of Vinland upon death which can be given to Selen in exchange for a Ring of Devour Prayer (for those with more than 10 Faith) or a measly Dark Moon Grass.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4 <\/span>The Temptation Of Mephistopheles<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Like Selen, Mephistopheles is a fairly obscure NPC, but she\u2019s tied to one of the most in-depth questlines in the game (and one of the most narratively revealing.) Charged by the Order of the Soul to kill anyone with knowledge of Soul Arts, Mephistopheles will appear in the Nexus only if players kill Yury (found initially in 3-2) and have Pure Black Character Tendency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0Dark Souls: Remastered: 10 Rarest Rings (& Where To Find Them)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Mephistopheles will offer the player different rewards as she offers hits on the game\u2019s multiple NPCs. Following this questline does mean killing several vital characters in-game while ostensibly clearing the Nexus out most life, but her rewards, the fights against NPCs themselves, and the end of Mephistopheles’ arc make her quest a standout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Playing With Patches<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fans of Dark Souls will already be familiar with Patches, the Hyena, FromSoftware<\/a>\u2019s resident trickster. Patches can be found in 2-2 and 4-2, both times he\u2019ll lure the player into a trap and kick them down a hole. While it makes sense to target Patches in retaliations, it\u2019s better to keep him alive as he sells valuable items in the Nexus. Simply keeping Patches alive means having immediate access to: Half, Late, & Full Moon Grass, Fresh Spice, <\/span>and <\/span><\/i>Shard of Archstones for easy warping back to the Nexus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Ostrava, Of Boletaria And The Prince\u2019s Plight<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ostrava has the most dynamic character arc in Demon\u2019s Souls, his quest starting in 1-1, moving to both 1-2 and 1-3 before ending in 1-4. Ostrava\u2019s story set a precedent for tragedy that FromSoftware would make use of in each subsequent Souls game. King Allant\u2019s son, Ostrava wants nothing more than to reason with his father and bring peace back to Boletaria, but his fate is a tragic one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ostrava must be saved from enemies in 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 before he\u2019ll appear in 1-4 as a Black Phantom. Upon death, Ostrava will drop a Mausoleum Key that leads to the secret boss along with his sword & shield. In the interim between stages, Ostrava can be chatted up in the Nexus before death takes him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Death Of The Old King\u00a0<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fighting Old King Doran will likely be the last side quest available for players in Demon\u2019s Souls, only challengeable after Ostrava drops the Mausoleum Key. Doran is found in the Mausoleum in 1-1, guarded by a Red Eye Knight. Although Doran can be fought and defeated with all builds, he\u2019s significantly harder for anyone playing a melee character.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Doran hits hard, fast, and generally shows no restraint. Mages, however, can pop Death Cloud on top of him and watch as the Old King suffers a slow death. Doran not only drops the Ancient King set \u2013 the best armor for Body Type B in the game \u2013 and the Demonbrandt, a blade awarded to any players who bring him down to 2\/3 health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
