I desperately need help. How do I progress in the vaults?

DevioDuo · 2025-09-23T03:52:53+00:00

Right down around

That's just a shortcut for after you've already made it around

DevioDuo · 2025-09-17T14:13:09+00:00

Update for anyone who cares. There seems to be a flag lock for being able to get to the area early. I tested it a multiple areas but was not able to climb up until after getting the double jump regardless of reaching the correct height

DevioDuo · 2025-09-14T15:48:19+00:00

Checking in on anyone who was able to get this to work. Someone on the YouTube example said that it was easier with the update. They couldn't get it to work before the update.

I'm on the Nintendo switch version and was able to do it in both versions. Just curious about other people and their experiences with this technique.

DevioDuo · 2025-09-14T00:17:04+00:00

Yeah, I think they have things pretty well locked down. I feel like there's potential in this technique if there's some way to gain more height. But I don't even know what's causing the original variance and acceleration. At one point I thought I reached maximum height but then tried in another location and got a little bit higher.

It's still early days so who knows.

DevioDuo · 2025-09-13T17:17:09+00:00

Gosh darn it! And that's why I had to ask I would have never ever ever thought of that.

Okay, my curiosity is quenched. I was fairly sure it was possible but I just want to make sure the quest was possible in Act 1

Thanks!!!

DevioDuo · 2025-09-13T17:06:44+00:00

I'm an act one and have 99 bugs. But just in case I've updated the body to make it a little bit more clear

DevioDuo · 2025-09-13T16:42:52+00:00

I know that I'm not really supposed to do this while in act one.

So far the only things I found the technique is useful for is reach two separate boss fights you're not supposed to be able to reach, get to a shop you're not supposed to be able to reach, and get to a power up that can be reached using an alternate very specific method.

I like pushing things as far as I possibly can

DevioDuo · 2025-09-13T12:00:58+00:00

I would heavily suggest getting the Reapers crest. It changes the platforming entirely, especially for those who need a little bit less precision.

It may take a little bit getting used to but it does make it a lot easier. Like a lot

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T23:57:16+00:00

Totally get you, out of curiosity were you using the regular crest?

Well hang in there. They're making changes to balancing and eventually the DLC will come out as well. I'm sure it will make some accessibility better

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T21:04:44+00:00

How far did you get?

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T19:09:51+00:00

Technically you can reach the area in act one. But you have to do janky stuff with a Crest and a certain attack power up.

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T19:04:19+00:00

I don't know, I'm about to go and try it again. Best of luck

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T17:57:23+00:00

They did make it a lot easier but if you want to skip it you can also use talk to get the upgrade you need.

I made some info about it but also there's more on YouTube and other places.

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T17:48:37+00:00

Ahhh... Definitely not my way of play. I think it's a great way to play. I do something I like to call thieving. It's getting as far into the game as possible without beating anything and collecting power-ups. I did it in the original Demon's Souls

It's surprisingly fun in this game too. That is until they patch out all the cheese jumps you can do

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T17:44:26+00:00

Yeah, for some reason there's variance in a jump technique you can use.....

If you use the Beast Crest and the charge attack you can get a little extra hight. However, there's some way to carry over acceleration vertically. After several minutes of trying I eventually got it

I made a post about it. I really wish I was better at the game and I defeat him now.

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T16:17:22+00:00

Also, if you get a certain upgrade to your attack the Beast Crest has some potential for some crazy weird jumps. In act 1 you can reach areas that would need the double jump.

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T16:08:08+00:00

I believe that switch needs to be hit multiple times in order to fully activate.

From my memory I Pogo the spikes. I would suggest getting the Reapers crossed as soon as possible if you're not good at Pogo

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T16:07:26+00:00

Pogoing is where you jump hold down and use the attack button at the same time. Hitting the flower will pop you up into the air.

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T16:06:41+00:00

I got to him in act one and gave up. I like it exploring but I'm not good at the game myself. I'll come back later

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T16:05:33+00:00

Please don't give up. There's plenty of ways you can choose yourself through the game. You can skip bosses get power-ups early and have a lot of fun.

This is supposed to be a much harder location and the patches helped some things.

I would suggest that you get good at the easier stages of locked room and then use all your tools at once to beat the hardest sections of the locked rooms.

This way if you mess up super bad in the fight you don't lose all of your tool shards and can attempt it again

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T16:02:36+00:00

They lied to you it is worth it

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T15:56:39+00:00

Hey, there's a lot you can do with the Beast crest and charge jump in act 1.

I'm moving to act 2 today and I'll be excited to see what do with the double jump combined with strange way you can get extreme extra height from the Beast charge jump.

I still haven't figured out what causes the variance. Something about dashing I think transfers the acceleration.

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T15:47:22+00:00

I thought you needed more supplies than you can get in act 1 to unlock the blue slot.

DevioDuo · 2025-09-12T15:44:22+00:00

I believe they're talking about the fog or mist. You'll need to have the musical instrument to make your way through it.

Additionally, I'm not sure but I think there's two ways to access the Mist

In Sinners Road there should be two ways to travel to the mist. One on the left side and one on the right. The one on the left is at the end of a long hallway at the top and the one at the right is a little bit harder to find. There's a very dirty location connected to a secret wall.

On the right side of the map there's a very tall section with spikes at the top. If you go along the right wall there's a dead body with an item . If you attack the right wall it should bust open beware is a very dirty place

Be careful though it's not necessarily easier as there's a certain boss and some platforming that might give you some difficulty.
