When you open the door you will find 6 human enemies: a Mage, a Clerk, an Axe Wielder, a Thief, an Archer and a Knight, each giving souls ranging from 1,000-5,000. The way to open the door is to purchase the key from the blacksmith it will (cost: 20,000). In Darkroot Garden you will find a door sealed with a white circle in the center. This place will get you around 7k souls every 3 minutes (depending on the player level and skill). Sweep the area a few times to boost your character up enough to take down the Gaping Dragon with ease. An average run through the area only takes about 15 minutes, but it will gain you about 10000 souls each time. This skill will not only get you through many fights in the game, but through much of the “Dark Souls” series as well.If you can avoid being cursed, The Depths are a great place to farm for souls. Then get used to moving to the side of each enemy, or maybe even behind it to nail a devastating backstab move. Instead, keep your thumbs on the sticks, moving the camera and prioritizing which enemy for a target lock. Lock-on and strafing: If you’ve never played a Souls-like, this game will teach you that the trigger buttons are attack, and the face buttons shouldn’t be touched unless you’re absolutely sure.
The best way to manage the battle space and navigate around the enemy is to master. That way, you can take and dish out more damage. Be patient, and give yourself some room between yourself and the enemy so you can breathe and drop your shield to replenish stamina faster. Attacking drains stamina (the green bar), and blocking with low stamina means you’ll be vulnerable to a stun and even fiercer attacks. Drop your shield, too: When in combat, remember to give yourself some room to drop your shield.Especially when you approach corners and new areas, keep your shield up. Because “Demon’s Souls” is the first of its kind, the game relies on surprise attacks on your blind spots. Keep your shield up: I told you it’ll be rudimentary, but I can’t overstate how important blocking is in this game.
