A warrior-style hero is my go-to build in any fantasy game, and if you're here, I'm guessing that it is yours too. Welcome, friend. In this guide, I will be explaining how to create a solid warrior build in Demon's Souls (2021) (PlayStation5).

Feb 12, 2025 | gamegrin.com | Niall Cawley

So, I recently completed DARK SOULS: REMASTERED (and no, I shall not stop talking about it — ever).
