Demon's Souls is an iconic game. It was the first Souls game and paved the way for games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro. Figuring out how to play it so many years later can be difficult because most people don't have a PS3 anymore, much less a copy of the game. Here's a few solutions:

==Demon's Souls on PS3==
#Get a PS3
#Hook it up
#Get a copy of Demon's Souls
#Pop it in
#'''''Optional''''' - Set up the [[Online Play in 2020 | Private Server]] for online play
#Bada Bing. All done.

==Play on PC with RPCS3==

===Attack Patterns===
* Melee thrusting attack.
* Breaks guards of low hit res shields.
* Will hit the player even if standing at the side or back of the spear.
* Spear throw. Very good tracking, thus requires rolling, sprinting or shield block to avoid.

==Strategy==
* These enemies are the ones from 1-1 [[Phalanx|Phalanx demon boss]].
* They have a shield on their front-side, and a long spear which they either thrust or throw, depending on range.
* IF it's possible to hit their backside via rolling or circling, they are a quick kill.
* If they're in a tight corridor however, hacking away, hacking away + turpentine, or firebombs all work quite well.
* From the front they will obviously take less damage; their attacks are capable of being blocked, so always raise that shield when near!
* If you start your player off as the [[Royalty]] class, then you'll have a much easier time killing these guys. Just spam [[Soul Arrow]] at them until they're dead.

==Enemy ID and Stats==
The information below reflects the game's hard programmed values for enemy stats and values. However, these values don't always align precisely with values seen in game. This is due to Special Effect Multipliers (similar to NPCs) and World Tendency Multipliers.
