Demon’s Soulswas always the bestSoulsgame. I’m tempted to turn off the comments so you can’t “at” me! I mean, I’m not going to do that, but I’mtempted.
Whether you started up this weekend and threw your case across the room in frustration, or you’re aiming to go for your second playthrough this week, here are a few tips. These are battle-tested with the remake in mind from a clear this past weekend.

But for newcomers, you may want to pick the royal[ty] class. It starts with a powerful spell and several (very) late-game pieces of gear that will help you clear some early hurdles. It’s colloquially referred to as the “easy” class.
You’ll be using it for a good chunk of the game, as it increases your maximum HP when you’re in soul form (read: after you die in human form, which might be a lot). You can also grab the thief ring right next to the door where you passed the Blue Knight. Just roll from the stairs down into the glowing item on the wooden scaffolding.
