It would seem they patched acid cloud and lowered it's effectiveness. The wiki doesn't say anything about poison cloud or death cloud. Now I guess I had better do 5-2 and 5-3 so I can get some other big spells before I test Doran.

Oh no you're right, I had confused poison cloud with acid....

Do you have an Asian community anywhere near your area? If you do, check it out and you may find an import shop that carries it. That's what I did. Once I decided I wanted this game, I went to the import shop and had it in my hands in less than 1 hour. No waiting for delivery from online shops and I got it less expensive as well.

Anyways, what's a good level to start 1-2? I'm at soul level 18 right now playing a knight. I've cleared 1-1 about 10 times just grinding.

**Gaddes** · 03-27-2009

Level 18 is fine for 1-2. The Boss for 1-2 isn't to hard, and most of his attack are easy to avoid. You will also have to deal with a few crossbow troops but they are easy to deal with.

**gate777** · 03-27-2009

Thank you for the reply kind ser.....I shall tackle said level at my utmost convenience.

**HardlePS3** · 03-27-2009

I get from the comments here that the korean/asian version of the game isn't locked for the online play, am I right? Btw I think I got spoiled by reading this topic... silly me...

I know that the Asian version is 100% english, i believe the korean version depends on the settings you have on your ps3(pending if you have English,korean,japanese,or chinese set)

Hmmm I should put a spoiler tag. I knew I forgot something.

**Gaddes** · 03-27-2009

Yeah. The boss for 1-2 is a push over. I just wailed at his ankles until he fell over, and the switched to target his head. Only had to knock him over 3 times and he was toast.

The Maneaters are probably the most annoying bosses in the game, not hard, just annoying. I know I got knocked off a few times.

Boss wise most of them aren't even all that hard, and some times the enemies are harder (Giant Goblins are a pain) and sometimes the levels are freaky (3-2 is if you have a fear of heights like I do lol).

His comments change as you progress as well. He is now concerned with me becoming a demon myself. I am playing right into someone's hands apparently. Having not finished the game, I am not sure how true any of this is, but it is some scary foreshadowing that I could see coming true. I can't get enough of this game.

**The Praiseworthy** · 03-27-2009

I Don't understand why didn't they release the game worldwide in the same time?

i mean it's already in full English, so what's taking them so long?

I will wait for the U.S version.... i know i know the Asian Ver is in full Eng.... but i want my U.S Ver.... with fully manual and cover in english.

**Stig** · 03-27-2009

Just beat it for the first time. 73 or so hrs. Lvl. 96. Would have been higher but for that lousy old king.

Awesome ending. Great game. Starting next playthrough right away!!

**Gaddes** · 03-28-2009

That's a good question. I think it's who would Sega and From Software market it to. I think the game might have some US and EU success but I it would remain a rather niche' title. We might hear something at E3, but I honestly don't see it getting a US release personally.

And why is that?

the game already has been made and they trow money in making it.... why would not they want to release it in the U.S to gain more sales?

don't tell me they went trough all that trouble of making it just so it could be released in Asia !!

Marketability. Trust me, I WANT there to be a US/EU release, I'm just not sure how well the game will sell outside of the dungeon crawler/niche' audience, however, if Sega and From Software market it well enough, it could be a sleep hit. Trust me, if it gets a US/EU release, I will be the first to eat a nice slice of humble pie.

**Bandersnatch** · 03-28-2009

Few questions:
1. If you use the Blueeye Stone in spirit form, other players can summon you into areas they have not yet completed correct?
2. Can you be summoned to areas you have completed or ones you haven't beaten yet?
3. Does the Blueeye Stone have infinite uses or do you have to get more somewhere? Same with Blackeye, Whiteeye?
4. If you use the Blackeye stone and invade another players game and they kill you, do you lose stats?
5. And if you do lose stats, does the cost to level go back down too?
6. Is Nexial Binding the most worthless item ever? Why would you ever want to use that when you have the opportunity to die every 3 steps anyway. Only reason I could think of is to keep your physical body and possibly escape a black phantom, but then you could just use the Evacuate miracle.

I summoned 2 players to 4-1 awhile ago under the impression that they were there to basically help you figure out the level so that you can later do it solo. Ended up trashing the level, got the trophy and soul of the boss, was fun but at the same time it was disappointing because I like beating the bosses alone. Think it would be fun to help people that actually need it though.

**amazing spidey** · 03-28-2009

Umm I'm pretty sure most of these are right
1. Well, wherever you put a soul sign down(usage of blue eye) is where players can summon you.
2. Yes, both.
3. Yup they have unlimited uses.
4. Well yeah you lose a soul level, which = stats.
5. Not sure, but I would imagine cost stays the same.
6. I think Nexial Binding is mainly a story item, meaning it serves to explain why you go to the Nexus after you die.

Hope I helped!

An interesting bit of news. Seems RPGamer and XSEED games have a poll going for which game people want to see localized, and Demon's is in third place. So, maybe we just might see a US release date.

What is 1 and 2?

Tales of Destiny 2 for the PSP is the first one and Fragile is number two. DS and Fragile are only 4-5 votes apart, although they are both being smoked by ToD2.
