@premiersoupir, corporeal form: more health, less damage than spirit. Can summon other players to help you. You can be invaded. You generally don't keep this form for very long. spiritual form: less health, more damage. Can be summoned by other players to help them. Your game can't be invaded by others. You play most of the game in this form. going through level backwards: Each world has four portal points to the nexus hub level. At the beginning you can only use the first portal which drops you at the beginning of the world. After you beat the first section and the first boss, you get access to the second portal, and so on. But if you have the second portal, for example, you can portal in there, and reverse run through the first section. Every time you port in, all the regular, non-boss monsters respawn. @UbeRamza, I'm not going to lie, it's not easy. Also don't waste your time farming, which is prone to frustration. But the game is really worth it. It should never feel pointlessly hard, like some other "hard" games do. Wow, overall, there is a ton of love for this title. Obviously, we will see more games like this in the future, whether they are official sequels or not. I'm sure this game has inspired other developers.

Thanks for this article Darrin, reading it has helped me to decide to pick up the game and give it a try. I’ve been wanting to try this game since it was released but have been really turned off by how difficult everyone says it is. Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good challenge as much as the next guy but I can’t stand playing a game where the difficulty is so high that it just feels like your being cheated.
A game isn’t fun to me if I die every two minutes, I play games to relax and be challenged after a hard day at work. I don’t play games to be frustrated and pissed off to the point that I want to throw my playstation out of the window lol.

A mate of mine from work got Platinum on this in just a couple of weeks. I borrowed it off him but after the first night of playing it and not beating the first level my launch 60gb PS3 decided not to read disks anymore and I had to send it in for repair. Took a few weeks to fix and in the meantime I gave it back to him but it’s a fantastic game and I totally intend on buying it when I get the chance.

i plat’n this game, such a sense of accomplishment. Bladestone and i think the meltstone were 2 of the toughest to get in the game.

I’m gonna play some more once world goes to black and may start another character.
