Getting all the achievements and trophies in aFromSoftware Soulsborne gameis a bigger feat than completing them all in every other game. This is because of how intrinsically they are tied to each game’s difficult bosses, and to do so is like a badge of pride. This is true of all games under FromSoftware’s Souls banner, including the originalDemon’s Souls.

Demon’s Souls Remake Trophy List – Hardest
Many of the trophies are tied to bosses, which means players will beat them for unlocking the game. There are some time-consuming trophies, like collecting allthe rings inDemon’s Souls Remake, and players will need to spend their Demon’s Souls wisely. Overall though, there are two trophies that are harder than the rest, each for a different reason: Sage’s Trophy and May You Be Unharmed.
Sage’s Trophy isn’t difficult in terms of a single encounter, but because one small slip may result in a player completing the game twice and then playing through a chunk of it again. It’s much more of a time investment than others as a result. In short, Sage’s Trophy requires players to collectall the spells from Sage Frekeand Yuria, which isn’t too bad as long as players are mindful about which souls they spend. The problem is, however, that Yuria has one spell that only unlocks when choosing a specific ending.
Demon’s Souls Remakehas a trophy for the “bad” ending of the game, which means players are more inclined to go with it. If they don’t realize it, they may elect the bad ending on their first playthrough—doing so means, to unlock Sage’s Trophy, players will need to beat it again on the good ending, to unlock the Soulsucker spell. They’ll then need to play through rescuing Yuria again in a third playthrough to collect this spell. It’s a difficulty associated with understanding the game—if players choose the good ending first, foregoing that trophy for now, then they only need to beat it twice.
May You Be Unharmed is an instance of a difficult single encounter trophy, as it is more punishing depending on a player’s build. Several bosses inDemon’s Soulshave achievements required for beating them a certain way, such as using theHands of God on Dragon God. For Maiden Astraea, they have to kill her without killing her guardian, Garl Vinland. Vinland is incredibly strong, and not killing him makes the boss fight harder. Astraea can heal quickly, and Vinland can damage quickly. The best strategy is to hit her afar with a bow, but if someone is unaware of this and doesn’t have a good bow/a goodDemon’s Soulsbuild, it becomes a real slog.
However, with enough dedication and patience, these two trophies only serve as harder challenges on a player’s path to the Platinum.
