Collectibles & Trophies
Demon's Souls is replete with collectibles, from unique weapons and armor sets to spells, miracles, and rings. For trophy hunters, gathering these items is often a prerequisite for achieving the game's Platinum trophy. This section focuses on identifying key collectibles and their relation to trophy acquisition.
The game features numerous trophies tied to specific achievements, such as defeating all bosses, collecting all spells or miracles, and acquiring all rings. Some trophies require completing NPC questlines or reaching specific World Tendency states.
Key collectibles include:
- Weapons and Armor: Many unique weapons and armor sets are scattered throughout the worlds or obtained through specific means, like defeating bosses or completing NPC quests.
- Spells and Miracles: As detailed previously, these are learned from NPCs using Demon Souls or found as loot.
- Rings: A significant number of rings offer passive bonuses and are often hidden in obscure locations or tied to Tendency events.
- Demon Souls: Essential for learning spells and miracles, as well as for unique weapon upgrades.
| Collectible Type | Trophy Relation | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Spells | 'Master of Sorcery' | Homing Soulmass |
| Miracles | 'Master of Miracles' | God's Wrath |
| Rings | 'Ring Collector' | Cling Ring |
| Weapons | 'King of the Arena' (specific weapon upgrade) | Dragon Bone Smasher |
For trophies like 'Master of Sorcery' or 'Master of Miracles,' you'll need to exhaust all dialogue with Sage Freke, Yuria, and Saint Urbain, and trade them the necessary Demon Souls. The 'Ring Collector' trophy requires finding all 20 rings scattered throughout the game.
Some trophies, like those related to weapon upgrades, may require extensive farming of upgrade materials. Planning your playthroughs around these requirements can streamline the process and ensure you don't miss any crucial items.
