hi.....i'm a newbie. I just got to the part where trying to fight the giant silver knight, but got killed before I could even reach him. This game is hard, when you die, you lose all the souls. then no money to buy anything.
how do you guys level up so easy?
I've killed the phalanx and got the blue stone, and also some eye stone to resurrect my body. Do I do it now, or wait until I grow stronger and buy better weapons?? I remember the demon that killed my body was this big fat ugly thing, that one swipe ko'd me.
and how do i play co-op? i got the blue stone, but i need to be in the living world to use it. But i'm scared to ressurect as my body is in the first room with the demon when we first started the game.
help pls to all d sifu's

Welcome to Demon's Soul and like the tag line i heard before said "Dying One Step At A Time" pretty much explains how the game is

That 1st demon on the tutorial is meant for you to die

so dun bother to meet up ur soul there. To help things easy for newbies, I would suggest u camp at 1-2 and kill the Phalanx mionions. The 1st area before seeing the Red Dragon blow fire on the pathway. Those guys u can farm some shard/large hardstones and sharpstones to help upgrade ur weapon of choice. Upgrade till max if u like to make killing mobs easier (Max as in untill u need Chunks for upgrade which u'll get some later in game).
Co-op got 2 ways of doing so, u host the co-op or ppl summon u as a phantom. To be a host, u need to be resurrected then use the blue eyestone i think to summon ppl. Soul form if ur getting summoned from ppl, but that one usually if you see any blue messages on the floor. Keep in mind theres a lvl gap for co-op sessions of +/- 10 Levels.
Hope that helps
