As players vanquish enemies inDemon’s Soulsfor PS5, they will obtain souls in varying quantities. These souls can, among other things, be used to level up a character, though that cannot be done immediately upon starting the game. Indeed, fans must fulfill a set of criteria before they can spend souls and level up inDemon’s SoulsPS5, and this guide will provide full details on exactly what that criteria is.
The first thing that players that want to level up inDemon’s Soulsshould do is defeat Phalanx, the boss at the end of 1-1 Boletarian Palace. For those fans that may be having some difficulty completing this first step, it is worth mentioning that Firebombs are extremely effective in thisDemon’s Soulsboss fight. Specifically, players should aim their Firebombs so that they simultaneously hit Phalanx as well as some of the Hoplites, as that should cause the boss to fall without much resistance.

After slaying Phalanx,Demon’s Soulsplayersshould return to the Nexus and speak with the Monumental, an NPC that can be found sitting on an upper floor of this hub area. Talking to the Monumental will trigger a short cutscene that details the awakening of the Old One, and fans will receive indication that four sealed Archstones have been unlocked upon its completion. Before they explore theseArchstones inDemon’s Souls, though, players should level up, and that is indeed now possible.
Simply, fans should navigate to the main area on the ground floor of the Nexus and speak with the Maiden in Black until they receive notification that she can “aid slayers of demons.” Players that speak with her after this notification appears will receive a new prompt that asks if they wish to seek soul power, and selecting yes will give them access to theirDemon’s Souls' character’s stat sheet. It is at this point that players can spend their souls on their preferred stats in order to level up.
With respect to how players should spend souls inDemon’s SoulsPS5, Vitality and Endurance are reasonable stats to start with, as they provide universal benefits. That said, if a fan is not having many issues with survivability, they may instead want to focus on leveling the stats that directly effect their weapon damage. While this stat will vary acrossweapon types inDemon’s Souls, boosting damage first is an approach that can be highly effective regardless of a player’s build.
Demon’s Soulsis available now for PS5.
