Demon's Souls Remake: Upper Latria (3-2) - walkthrough Demons Souls PS5 guide, walkthrough

Last update: 21 July 2021

On this page of the guide to Demon's Souls Remake you will learn how to complete chapter (3-2), Tower of Latria, in Upper Latria.

After defeating the Fool's Idol, you will move to the top floor of the Tower of Latria. Approach the Archstone to activate it.

Head straight ahead, careful not to fall into the abyss. The first enemy you will have to face is the gargoyle. Watch the statues, because some gargoyles pretend to be one. If you get close to them, you can use R3 to know exactly which one will come to life. Fighting them is quite simple, however, you need to be careful because they often fly up into the air - in that case, you just need to make one good dodge, and then attack them. Just be careful not to dodge too much, because the path is very narrow.

There will be another gargoyle at the end of the path. Defeat him and get inside the building.

You can go left or right. The path to the right leads to treasures, but you won't get there for now because of the big creature hanging on chains inside the tower. Therefore, first go left and up the stairs.

Collect all the items on the top floor. You will not be able to access certain parts of the location due to the previously mentioned hanging creature. Thus, once you're at the top, head to the next tower, the entrance of which is surrounded by fog. Be prepared for another gargoyle attack, though.

Then, once you have passed through the fog, go up the stairs. At some point you will be attacked by another gargoyle, so have a shield ready as you go up, so that you don't get hurt too badly.

When you get to the point where it is impossible to go further due to the hole visible in the screenshot, wait a moment, because at this point, the elevator will start working and after a while it should appear in the designated place. However, instead of going all the way to the top, go to the other side to pick up an item. When you're done, go up using the elevator.

Once you get to the very top, you will notice several enemies holding the chain. Kill all four of them. They will not pose any threat. When the enemies are gone, one of the chains will break.

After killing the enemies, you can go to an even higher floor, however, you will not go further if your tendency is not white. If it's white, then wooden bridges will appear over the gap, allowing you to pass.. Upstairs, you'll find the key to the Blue Phantom's cell from region 3-1.

Go back to where the four enemies held the chain. There is a staircase down to the next part of the location.

You can use the cage by going inside and then going down into the swamp. Before you do so, though, it's worth turning right and jumping one step lower, because there is a new NPC, Yurt.

Yurt is in a cage. You can approach him and strike a conversation. He will tell you that like you, he is a demon hunter. This, however, is not true. The truth is, once Yurt is released, he will kill the NPCs in the Nexus. Therefore, you should not release him at all, because you may later discover that you can't buy items, miracles or spells from anyone if you don't kill him quickly.

However, there is a good way to release Yurt and kill him to get all his items and souls. Before you open the cage, hit him hard a few times, but not hard enough to kill him, or else you won't be able to open the cage. Open the cage once you deal him enough damage. Since Yurt is weakened, he should not attack you, which will make the fight with him much easier.

After defeating Yurt, collect his items, and then enter the cage to go down to the swamp.

As you go down, check exactly the same swamp, because many interesting objects can be found there, such as the ring, which gradually regenerates mana. Watch out for a giant ball made of dozens of bodies, though. If you're far away from it, it'll start using magic.

Then enter the bridge - you will encounter new enemies there. It's good to fight them at a distance, or perform a strong attack to kill them very quickly.

Staying on the left side of the bridge, you will reach the location with more enemies. If your world tendency is black, you may also encounter a hideous figure that will not attack you.

Killing this demon will cause your tendency to increase to white by several dozen percent. However, this demon will not appear if your tendency is neutral or white. Killing him will also give you his soul.

On the bridge's right side there's a path that leads up. That's where you should go to get closer to the boss. Depending on your tendency, you may encounter Red Phantoms (if it is closer to black).

As you go up the stairs, you will face the same enemies again. Kill them, pick up the items, and then go through the fog.

For a long while you will not encounter any enemies, but on the stairs you can meet the octopus-mage, who often appeared in region 3-1. He can stun you very easily, because there is really nothing to hide behind, and the stairs are very narrow. Attack him when his back is turned to you, or wait for him to use a paralyzing attack and charge at him only then.

After defeating the magician, you should be close to the pillars. Behind them are the same enemies as before, so beware of an ambush.

A part of the hanging creature is here as well. Next to its body, you can see an object to pick up and more enemies.

Be careful on the bridge, because there are a lot of gargoyles there, including one with a crossbow. Eliminate them one by one, and then go to the very end of the bridge.

Wait for the elevator again when you will be going to the top of the tower. When the elevator appears, at the top kill four more enemies who hold the second chain. Eventually, when the second chain falls, the creature will fall down and die. As a result, swamp creatures will appear in new places.

Then go towards the collapsed bridge and jump down, to arrive at the very beginning of Upper Latria.

On the bridge, where gargoyles were, the previously mentioned swamp monsters will appear. You can ignore them and run inside the tower.

Remember the place on the right with the treasure that unlocks when the creature dies? Right now, as you go to the middle of the tower, go right. You will encounter more swamp monsters. Go down the narrow path.

When you go down to the bottom, you will encounter several monsters from the swamp. After defeating them, turn right and go inside.

There, you will find many valuable items to pick up. Watch out for more creatures, though. Go around the location, pick up all the items, and then return to the tower.

Now there is nothing left to do but climb to the very top of the tower. After you drop the creature, the path will be available to you. However, watch out for another octopus-mage. Don't run up the stairs until it has his back to you.

Collect all the items at the very top. Then just go towards the fog and start the boss fight with Maneater. Description of the boss fight can be found on a separate page of the guide.
