A Comprehensive Guide to Demon's Souls (2020) Leaderboard

A video explaining the differences in the Demon's Souls Remake categories in speedrun.com, and how to submit a run!

All dupe methods (until now)

Here I'm gonna show a few videos with different methods of duping on this game, it's not like a HUGE dupe, but it can help on a few routes and categories, especially with double usage method on Any% Unrestricted by now.

Important to say that all methods requires an animation that allows you to store an action, this can be any "shrug" animation of the game, dodging, attacking with a catalyst and etc. (just the last method does not require, which is the perfect frame dupe)

Method 1: Dropping

Method 2: Storage

Method 3: Double usage and frame perfect usage

Quando eu fiz esse guia, o Maneater Skip não existia ainda, é a única coisa diferente da rota atual, veja alguma das runs mais atuais para ver como faz o skip, é bem fácil e só muda um pouco o leveling da run.

Tudo que tiver um * na frente, são coisas opcionais e geralmente mais safes para iniciantes.

Offline Trophies Speedrun Guide (Current Patch, No Bow Tech)

A thorough guide to the Offline Trophies run, with an accompanying video with commentary showing where all the items are and what to do, and route notes in Google Doc as well

Video: https://youtu.be/GVP_ZXULx-I

Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FPmaumWFGCFi6WI88WVqc0-IZ3XM0e3AYmshl4Yab5c/edit?usp=sharing

Thorough Any% Current Patch Guide by Berto (Somewhat outdated, but still good reference)

These are the route notes and a guide for Any% Current Patch, works for both PS+ Warp or No Warp routes. I will lay out the optimal route and anything marked with a * at the end is a safety or back up strategy, however I will also have a clear divide between the 1-1 skip route and non-skip route. There will be video links to corresponding parts of a video guide series I made for these parts as well. Reminder that there's also the other guide playlist for any particular skip that you'd like more elaboration on.
