Souls

From Wikidsouls

Description

As in most RPGs, slaying enemies nets the player experience points, called Souls. Unlike most RPGs, there is no separate currency for purchasing equipment and items, or for upgrading or repairing weapons and armor. Instead, your pool of Souls is actually everything to you. Increasing stat points, something accomplished by speaking to the Maiden in Black at the Nexus, costs Souls. Purchasing things? Better stock up on Souls.

Some games punish you for dying by taking money or experience from you. In Demon’s Souls, dying means you lose BOTH, and if you fail to return to the site of your passing before being slain again, you will lose all of the Souls in your possession at the time you were undone. What can one conclude from all this? That Souls are pretty darn valuable in the kingdom of Boletaria.

Soldier's Souls

Main article: Items#Souls

Through the world, you will find deceased soldiers. Sometimes, they will have an item on them: their soul. Some souls are more substantial than others. See the table in Items for a listing of how much each type is worth.

TIP If you store those souls with Stockpile Thomas, you can use them all at once for a lot of souls.

Demon's Souls

Main article: Demon's Souls

Each section of each world has a major demon at the end of it. Once defeated you will find a Demon's Soul along with an archstone to return to the Nexus. These Demon's Souls are very valuable as they can be redeemed for souls (to be used to increase soul level or purchase items) as well as be traded to various vendors for special goods/services.

IMPORTANT Using a Demon's Soul will destroy it, causing any potential uses for it to be unavaliable on the current playthrough. Be sure before using a Demon's Soul to check any avaliable upgrades from Sage Freke, Saint Urbain, Witch Yuria, and Blacksmith Ed before consuming it. See the Demon's Souls article for a list of each of the Demon's Souls and their uses.
