Demon's Souls Remake: Island's Edge (4-1) - walkthrough Demons Souls PS5 guide, walkthrough

Last update: 27 July 2021

On this page of the guide to Demon's Souls Remake you will learn how to complete chapter (4-1), i.e. the Shrine of Storms on the Island's Edge.

At the very beginning, go up, and after a while you will come across the first enemy - a skeleton. The skeleton is not hard to kill, provided you have a shield. The skeleton will usually roll towards you. After the last roll in your direction, it will make a quick attack.

Allow it to roll, and when it's close, block its attack with a shield, throwing it out of balance. Pick up the surrounding items, then go up the stairs.

Try provoking the surrounding skeletons one by one to avoid fighting their whole group at once. Separately, they are easy to defeat, but the bigger their number, the more difficult the fight. Also watch out for the skeleton archer, who will attack you from a distance.

After defeating the enemies at the top, you will see two archers. If your character is built for long-range fighting, you may try killing them from below. If not, watch out for their arrows. Collect the items; on the right side you will find a talisman for miracles. Then go through the fog.

In front of you will be the boss from the prologue, but this time as a mini-boss. But before you face him, though, go left.

Be careful when moving through the narrow corridor, because there is a button on the floor that activates the trap. If you activate it, block the arrows with the shield, to avoid taking damage.

At the end of the corridor, first go left, where you will encounter a skeleton with two swords. A good tactic here will be to make him jump and attack, because it is very easy to avoid, and then it'll be even easier for you to stab him in the back. After defeating the enemy, pick up the item (Crescent Falchion 1), then return to the building and climb the stairs to the top.

You will encounter more enemies there. Defeat them, go to the other side of the wall and go down.

As you're going down, watch out for another trap. Pick up the item - a copper key, which will come in handy later.

Go back to the mini-boss now and try to defeat him. The boss fights just like in the tutorial, so you shouldn't have any trouble with him now. Watch out for the flying creatures, though, because they will shoot at you throughout the fight. Kill them before the fight using a spell or bow/crossbow, or wear a ring that makes you harder to detect by enemies.

Then jump to the lower floor, into the hole. There's a narrow passage there. However, be careful, because at the beginning of the entrance there is a trap that will start shooting at your back. If you're close to the wall, the arrows won't hit you. Then go further ahead.

At some point a wall will block your way, but it is only an illusion. Hit the wall, and after a while it will disappear. Behind it, however, are two skeletons. Try to provoke them and then retreat to a safe place and don't fight them in the corridor. When you defeat them, move on.

After a while you will see that the road leads to the right and ahead. Go straight ahead first, as it will allow you to collect some healing items. There's also a cell with an NPC there.

You can open it with the copper key you found earlier. After rescuing a new NPC named Blige, talk to him. He is a merchant, so you can spend the collected souls and buy new items. It's worth restocking on arrows or bolts.

Then head to the other side of the corridor. At the stairs you will encounter another illusory wall. Destroy it, and then prepare for an enemy attack.

After defeating the enemies, climb to the top. You can take the path left or right. Go left first. Defeat the skeleton, then pick up the item - you will find light arrows and a compound long bow there. Then go back and walk towards the other path on your right.

After a while you will see a large tree with a nest. As you approach the tree, you will hear a strange figure begin to speak. When you're under the tree, you can discard some items. If you got rid an item that the bird liked, it will replace the discarded object with another, equally valuable. Every time you throw away an item, the bird will let you know if it's interested.

When you decide that you don't want to exchange with the bird anymore, jump down - there's an item on the right, and a lizard even lower. After killing it, go to the place where you fought the mini-boss.

When you are close to the mini-boss fight area, go through the fog and go up the stairs. You will encounter more enemies there. Use the ladder on the left instead of fighting them.

Pick up the items at the top of the wall. It is also the perfect place to draw a bow or use a spell and kill many of the flying creatures.

Killing these enemies is worth it because later their log-distance attacks would disturb you very much, and aside from that, you can get some souls from them, which are always very useful.

Then jump down, careful of the skeleton with two swords. Clear the path from the monsters, and then go up. However, watch out for another trap that will shoot a few arrows (behind your back).

Then go forward. Watch out for the skeleton wielding a two-handed weapon. The layout of the location also does not help, because the path is very narrow, and one wrong move will cause you to fall into the abyss and die.

Going forward, you will meet this kind of enemy twice more. Try to eliminate them one by one.

Once you've defeated all of the skeletons, go inside through the fog.

Once you're inside, you have several paths to choose from. The exit is to the left, the way to the boss is under the stairs and the stairs leading up are to the right. Go left first.

Pick up the item, then run straight ahead to kill the lizard. When you're done, pick up the item - it'll be a ring that restores your health every second.

Then go back and head upstairs. Collect all the items you can pick up, mostly healing items, and another ring.

To get to the ring, walk slowly along the wooden plank. The ring is on the other side. This is the Graverobber's Ring.

There's a broken wall on the right, so you can go to the other side and collect the soul. Then jump down and head downstairs towards the boss.

Going down, you will see the fog and another enemy next to it. Again, make him jump, then perform a dodge, and stab him in the back at the very end. After defeating the enemy and passing through the fog, the boss fight against the Adjucicator will begin. A walkthrough of the boss fight can be found on a separate page of the guide.
