Facts
- Here are some general tips I figured out so far:
- Item Burden imposes a hard limit on what you can carry. Items left behind when you go back to the Nexus are lost forever, so never let that happen!
- Stonefang Tunnels have enemies that deal fire damage and are weak to magic damage. You can block explosions with a shield.
- Shrine of Storms have enemies that are weak to blunt damage, like clubs or even your fists.
- Soul Arrow is extremely useful, especially since mana regenerates. At Intelligence level 14, you get 2 spell slots.
- Converting Demon's Souls to Weapons is done at Blacksmith Ed (2-1) when he receives the Red Hot Demon's Soul from the Flamelurker in 2-2.
- Upgrade materials can be safely stored with Stockpile Thomas and are still accessible for upgrades at the Blacksmiths.
- The stage to stop doing basic weapon upgrades is +3. This is where you can select the other branches, and upgrading to basic +4 makes it necessary to revert and start over, wasting upgrade resources.
- If you go right at the first junction at the Armor Spider Archstone, you can drop directly down to the Flamelurker, skipping most of the level.
- I just realized what had caused mana regeneration earlier on: The Crescent Falchion +1 regenerates mana when equipped. I should maybe look into finding a Fragrant Ring somewhere. Patches sells one, but it's 60,000 souls, which seems a bit steep. Sparkly the Crow will trade it for my Brass Telescope, and apparently there is one in the 3-2 swamp area. I should try finding that one.
- I used the Thief's Ring extensively to get through the difficult 4-2 mountain walkway without getting shot by Storm Beasts, followed by a lot of dodging to get past the Reapers and Shadowlurkers. I died a few times to some weird explody lights, and then finally reached the Old Hero, who I defeated on the first try.
- The Penetrator is murdering me again and again. I should be able to get some help if I rescue Biorr. I think I have some keys, so I should try to go back to the locked doors I encountered earlier.
