Demon’s Souls Build Guide: Soul Mage (Beginner Royalty Build for Remake)

Demon’s Souls Remake Builds: Soul Mage (PvE) https://fextralife.com/demons-souls-b...
In this Demon’s Souls Remake Build Guide, I’m going to be covering my Soul Mage Build, which uses Magic to take down enemies effectively. This Build is particularly good for beginners or new Demon’s Souls players, as it allows them to kill targets safely at a distance without having to learn their movesets.

The Soul Mage uses a combination of offensive and defensive spells to defeat enemies while at range, only meleeing in the rarest of cases. Some enemies are very nearly too aggressive to range down easily, like the skeletons in the Shrine of Storms, and you might need to engage in hand to hand combat to defeat them.

There are many pieces of equipment in the game that benefit spell casting, and you will use these to great effect, changing them around in various circumstances. Few Builds in Demon’s Souls remain exactly the same all the time, and often changing Weapons, Spells or Rings is needed for optimal success. But don’t worry, we’ll cover that here in this Guide as well.

The Starting Class you’ll choose for this Build is Royalty, because it begins the game with Silver Coronet, Silver Catalyst and Fragrant Ring. Silver Coronet and Silver Catalyst both raise your maximum Mana, and Fragrant Ring allows you to regain Mana every 4 seconds. Having these items allows you to cast more spells, and makes Royalty a bit more forgiving than the Magician Class, which doesn’t begin the game with any of these items. It also begins with Soul Arrow instead of Flame Toss, which is more cost efficient when you are first starting out.

At the beginning of the game the first thing you should do is swap your Catalyst to your offhand, freeing up your main hand for your melee weapon. This will allow you to attack with R1 or cast a spell with L1 without having to swap Weapon. This is important because later on in the game you will carry Weapons in your main hand that buff your spell damage or buff your mana regeneration, and you will need both your Catalyst and your melee weapon out at the same time. Melee Weapons operate more effectively in your main hand, so it’s better to learn to cast with your off hand from the get go, before you’ve built a habit otherwise.

You can Parry effectively with the Buckler, but you should avoid doing so on enemies you have trouble with because you will not have high health, and it is extremely risky. This Build is focused primarily on ranged damage, so if you enjoy Parrying you may want to go with a different Build.

Your primary objective should be to pick off hard to kill enemies or thinning large groups of enemies with Soul Arrow, before defeating enemies in melee combat one on one. Only engage more challenging enemies in melee if you are confident about your ability, and never try to fight 2 or more enemies at the same time. If you’re short on Mana, just wait a bit for it to replenish before continuing if you need to. Do not rush into these scenarios because you are impatient.

Be sure to pick up Flame Toss from Freke’s Apprentice in the Nexus when you have some extra souls, as Fire Damage is more effective against some enemies like the Phalanx, and you can swap between it and Soul Arrow as needed once you have 14 Intelligence.
