Should remove obtain Northern Regalia from things to do list concidering it's impossible because the Soulbrant is passed the point of no return.

I've also noticed on NG+ that certain pathways are now open no matter the world tendency (3-2 Rydell's key, etc.)

NG+ in Demon's Souls is hardcore compared to the weak imitations of future FROM titles, holy heck.

What is the significance of pure Fainstone?

the item display on bottom left disappeared after beating the game. I reinstalled it, but the item display is still invisible. Any suggestions? thx Also, its the digital version.

Well Just a little advice here when you go tô NG+. Make sure that most archstones are toward white tendency or pure white tendency because it will help a lot when dealing with bosses and enemies (i left pure Black tendency in The big swamp area....) also kill all named black phantom (miralda, rydell..) in new game so that you dont need to kill then again in new game+ because they will kinda of insta kill you (for some reason i killed all five but i was not in PWCT so i went on killing two more to reach PWCT in NG+ and it is a pain so avoid that)

best of luck to you

Anyone else feels it's bs how we can't level up until Phalanx. I mean it's not too bad because the dragon bridge is the hardest part of the level but still FFS.
