World Tendency in Demon's Souls influences events and unlocks paths. Achieving Pure White or Pure Black World Tendency can open new areas, such as a door near the starting point in Gates of Boletaria. Once a path is unlocked, it remains accessible even if World Tendency shifts later in the game.
World Tendency Events
World Tendency affects the game world, leading to specific events or changes. For instance, a door located near the starting area in the Gates of Boletaria will unlock if the World Tendency is either Pure White or Pure Black. This door, once opened, will stay unlocked regardless of subsequent changes to the World Tendency.
Demon's Souls and Boss Souls
Demon's Souls are obtained from defeated named bosses. These unique souls should not be consumed if it's your first playthrough, as they have significant uses:
- Blacksmith Ed: Can use Demon's Souls to craft unique weapons. He requires the Red Hot Demon's Soul before he can upgrade weapons with other Demon's Souls.
- Spell and Miracle Teachers:
- Sage Freke teaches Magic spells.
- Yuria, The Witch teaches Magic spells.
- Saint Urbain teaches Miracles.
