[Bageara]

Penetrator! Sounds like a porn. Lol. Yeah biorr helps, the boss didnt come near me he was to busy with biorr all i did was hit him with firestorm once, then biorr finished him off. even if you dont have firestorm i think it shouldnt be to tough

just have to locate yuria so i can get hold of firestorm. so are you glad you chose it over fireball, wrath of god ?

[Bageara]

yeah definatley but it can be a bit awkard to use, sometimes missing enemys, it uses a lot of MP and uses 3 magic slots but it got me passed maneater, penetrator , red eyed knights and some black phantoms easily just make sure you have plenty spices, i cant say if its better or worse than rage of god coz i dont have it

1-3 is a tough level i followed wiki guide word for word and i spent a hell of a lot on spices for my MP!

[zanderol24]

i will bear those comments in mind. may play through 3.1 a bit loads of spice drops.

the tower shield in 1.3 - what a dead weight.

For pure damage and boss killing Firestorm beats Wrath of God, hands down. Wrath of God is just more dependable and it goes through walls. Don't have to worry about whether or not it's going to hit.

Regarding World Tendency, it only resets when you quit and subsequently load your game online. Getting Pure Black Tendency is just a matter of killing yourself repeatedly in Body Form. Will take approximately seven deaths. So either need to do a bunch of (Blue Phantom) boss runs or just use a couple Ephemeral Eyes and run off some cliffs.

For Pure White you can kill all (or maybe just two?) bosses in a World without dying in Body Form (so you may want to do it in Soul Form).

It's a good idea to get to at least Pure Black every playthrough to kill the Primeval Demons for the possibility of a Colorless Demon's Soul drop.

How do you kill the bosses again? I went through and killed Phalanx and Tower Knight and then never saw them again.

in 1-3 also kill one of the dragons and that will make the worl pure white

The world tendancy sounds crazy

so its best to play offline when going for world tendancys?

so if i want to get all the pure white tendancy scenarios i need to kill a few bosses early on in NG+ but then if i die too many times it wont stay at pure white?

and if i want to get the pure black tendancy scenarios, like you say i use my Ephemeral Eyes and then commit suicide a couple times, so i could start doing that now and replay all the worlds ive already played therefore getting all the pure black tendancys on my first playthrough?.....right?

its just i would like to attempt Platinum trophy for Demons souls

On top of dragons, if you're in Pure Black and you kill a Black Phantom NPC (for example Black Phantom Satsuki 4-1) or the Primeval Demon in the world, the tendency will shift White.

Sorry, TheSoviet, I think I was just being confusing. Meant after you commit suicide in a World to shift towards Black, if you had lots of video game time you go the normal route of killing a boss in any World to regain Body Form or become a Blue Phantom in any world to help someone beat the Boss and regain Body Form. If you have Firestorm it's especially easy if you do 4-2 Boss runs as a Blue Phantom. With all my bonus gear on I'll take down Old Hero with one shot.

Edit - Yes! World Tendency IS crazy!

I wouldn't say it's best to play offline for World Tendency, probably just less annoying since you wouldn't have to do it in one sitting. Never played the game offline, myself. Probably why I've never gotten Pure White in World 5.

Tendency will only shift towards Black if you die in Body Form. You can die all you want in Soul Form and Tendency will remain the same. But, yeah, kill one time spawning enemies to shift Tendency towards white (Bosses, Unique Black Phantoms, Primeval Demon)

Yeah, you can get Pure Black even after you've killed all bosses in a World. I just don't think you can get Pure White because the Unique Black Phantoms and Primeval Demon won't push it far enough White. Just note that the Tendency won't physically change until you exit the World you're in. Say you use Ephemeral Eyes four times and commit suicide each time in 4-2 but never leave. If you check the Tendency screen it'll stay the same. Head back to the Nexus, check the Tendency screen and it'll now show a change.

Hope that makes more sense. Trying to type all this at work.
