Demon's Souls Remake: The King's Tower (1-4) - walkthrough Demons Souls PS5 guide, walkthrough

Last update: 17 August 2021

On this page of the guide to Demon's Souls Remake you will learn how to complete chapter (1-4), Boletarian Palace in The King's Tower.

After you've killed the Penetrator, head to the Archstone near the arena. Then go forward.

There are three enemies with crossbows on the dragon corpse. They are not difficult to defeat. Deflect their bolts with a shield and deal with them quickly. However, be careful, because there are three Red Phantoms behind the dragon's body.

Don't try to fight all three at once under no circumstance. It is worth noting that after defeating one Phantom, it will not reappear later, even after your death. Therefore, it really doesn't matter who you deal with first; it is important to fight them one by one.

One of the Phantoms fights with a shield, it is quite resistant and has powerful attacks, but is also very slow. You can, or actually have to, approach him from the back. Attack also right after the Phantom has already made his attack.

Watch out for the magic attack that he can use, too. It conjures flames around you, and in that case, you may want to evacuate to a safe location.

Leave the archer for the very end, because then your priority will be to get closer to her, which will inevitably trigger other phantoms, which will make the fight more difficult. When you get close to the archer, she will switch her bow for a weapon more suitable for close-combat.

After defeating the Phantoms, head to the other end of the room and turn right. A crystal lizard will be behind the barricade. Then, enter the room. Watch out for the enemies, though.

There will be a knight on the stairs. Try to kill him as soon as possible. However, on the upper floor there will be one crossbow enemy and one assassin, so expect an attack from the back. If you go higher, the knight will block your way up the stairs again. Fighting him on the stairs is difficult, so try to make him come down to you.

At the top on the left side there is a ladder that leads to a closed door. This is a shortcut that you will unlock only from the other side of the door. Therefore, first go upstairs and outside.

Coming out of the room, you will see a raging blue dragon. It will start to spit fire along the road you have to cross. Wait for the right moment to run. Wait until the dragon burns some enemies that would bother you as you'd cross the road.

When the dragon stops spitting fire, run forward, ignoring the remaining enemies, and keep close to the incinerated fragment of the road. Just run fast ahead. If you're too slow, switch out your heavy equipment for lighter one.

Once you get to the other end, go inside; you'll be safe there.

Then you will see the blue dragon change its position. He will defend the entrance to the tower, to which you will have to go to fight the next boss. However, before you go there, go to the left towards the door, to unlock the shortcut.

To unlock the door, use the lever, which is located nearby. Once you've done that, head towards the tower.

If you freed Biorr earlier, he will help you fight the dragon. This fight, however, is very long, so it is better to find a good moment to run inside the tower and ignore the dragon.

When you enter the room, keep walking forward. At some point, you'll see a phantom guarding the elevator entrance. If you have a good shield, try circling him from the back and block his attacks.

After defeating the phantom, use the elevator. After a while you will be at the top of the tower. The entrance is blocked by fog; you simply need to go through it to start the boss fight against Old King Allant. The description of the boss fight is on a separate page of the guide.
