Assuming you are having a lot of trouble, the guide below should be an easy way to beef up your character by farming souls. We'll tell you why farming is important, where to easily farm a lot of souls in a safe manner, and finally how to make the most out of your farming session.

Why Farm?

While the idea may seem boring to many, sometimes farming is the only way to pass certain obstacles. Demon's Souls is still an RPG at the end of the day, and your skill may only take you so far before having to upgrade your stats. Even with a sound strategy to get through a certain area or boss, having a higher soul level will make you stronger and give you more health, providing more room for error. After strengthening your character, you'll realize a section that was giving you trouble was not actually hard; you were just under-leveled.

Where To Go

Adjudicator

This farming location is in the beginning of the fourth Archstone's second area, or the Archstone of the Shadowmen. Beelining it here means beating at least two bosses; Phalanx in Boletaria and the Adjudicator. However, Archstone of the Shadowmen's opening area is not the easiest place to get through.

Before this, we recommend going through the Smithing Grounds and at least beating the Armor Spider. If you can manage it, also beat the Flamelurker and do the Prison of Hope, the first area of the third Archstone. After all the experience from these, beating the enemies and boss in this Archstone should be a piece of cake.

Now For Farming

After beating Adjudicator, go outside and progress to the next indoor space. In here is a Reaper, an enemy who controls Shadowlurkers. These Shoadowlurkers are challenging, but you can ignore them completely and go directly for the Reaper. Archers can take out the Reaper from far away and above. Otherwise, you'll have to drop down and face it head-on.

It is best to have less than 50% equipment burden to easily dodge its ranged attack. For mages, the enemy is weak to fire. Once the Reaper is bested, all the other enemies in the room die and you earn several thousand souls. Return to the prior Archstone and repeat this process for however many times you think is necessary. Equipping the Ring of Avarice increases the number of souls gained.

What To Do With The Souls

Depending on what type of build you have, you'll want to do any number of things with your soul level. However, it is equally important to make sure you are well stocked with items. Mages should always have a healthy supply of Aged Spices, bought from the Once Royal Mistress in the Prison of Hope. You'll want to have plenty of healing items too, which can be bought from Patches the Hyena in the Nexus after you find him. With all of this done, you should be on your way to conquering the game's toughest parts in no time.
