Combat is reliant on timing for weapon strikes and blocks, with different weapon types opening up a variety of combat options and altering the player’s movement speed. The world is divided into six areas the Nexus hub world and five additional worlds subdivided into four areas which each end in a boss encounter. Online multiplayer allows both player cooperation and world invasions featuring player versus player combat.

Gameplay has players navigating five different worlds from a hub called the Nexus, with a heavy emphasis on challenging combat and mechanics surrounding player death and respawning. Players take on the role of a hero brought to Boletaria to kill its fallen king Allant and pacify the Old One. Once released, Sage Freke will return to the Nexus where he’ll teach high-tier magic in exchange for Boss Souls.Demon’s Souls is set in Boletaria, a kingdom consumed by a dark being called the Old One following its release through the use of forbidden Soul Arts. If you disabled the ballista, you can simply walk across the bridge and take all the shortcuts back up to the third floor. With the Special Key in hand, it’s time to backtrack to Sage Freke’s cell on 3F East. Strike them down in spite of their protest and grab the Special Key that’s hanging on the wall behind them. The Dregling won’t attack once found, but they’ll plead for their life and ensure they aren’t doing anything nefarious.

To find the Dregling, head into the tower stationed to the right of the fog gate (be wary of the hidden Black Phantom up the steps). Specifically, the Special Key is found in the same room as the Dregling enchanting the Fool’s Idol to stay immortal. On that note, it’s not even possible to free Lord Rydell until 3-1’s been cleared.

The Special Key is found at the very end of 3-1, requiring you to more or less complete the stage before you can so much as think about freeing Sage Freke.
