After ranking the best bosses in dark souls, I thought it'd be fun to rank the best and worst areas in Souls with you all submitting your votes. We're back today to rank the areas of Demon's Souls. I hope you enjoy the video, and if you do be sure to subscribe to stay tuned for more Souls and other gaming videos!

I legit love all the maps except one. 4-2. Brings back memories about grinding that damn pure bladestone.
That run to the boss drove me insane
5-1
I totally understand if your done with souls for awhile but I think a top ten soulsborne NPCs list could be pretty interesting.
he isn't done with souls. he just doesn't like the area lists as much as other lists
Top ten inescapable corners in Bloodborne. He could colab with Indei
He already said he was doing top Waifus! Top NPCs would be mostly redundant! :>
gg ez
(spoiler they are all from dank souls)
10. dusk of ollacile (best waifu)
9. Andre! eeeey?
8. Tarkus! Tarkus! TARKUS!
7. Big Friendly Logan (DIrected by Steven Spielberg)
6. Vincnet van GOUGH
5. Giant Blacksmith (Bae)
4. Domnall of Zena (Aye Simwae!)
3. Siegward I mean Siegledine I mean Siegmeyer I mean
2. trusty patches (the DARK SOULS VERSION!)
1. Giant Dad! YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SOLAIRE! INITIATE PHASE 1!
Fire the bass cannon!
Adjudicator Archstone followed by Adjudicator Archstone?
A shame
Lmaooo
The Adjudicator archstone is better then the Adjudicator archstone: Change my mind.
Demon's Souls is one of my favorite games in the "series," honestly. I just love the atmosphere so much
3-1 is still by far my favorite. The entire thing is so atmospheric, you have multiple clear goals like freeing the prisoners, a lot of puzzles and rewards for careful exploration, and a very memorable boss battle.
I love the whole atmosphere of tower of latria, but I got lost as fuck in 3-1 so I'd have to go with 3-2 as my favorite
Also blighttown is obviously the best area of dark souls
Noah Kirkland best frame rate atleast
nah, sen's fortress is top of that...
I honestly love Blight town
maybe it's because i mostly play DS1 on PC (therefore no framerate issue with DSFIX) but other than that seriously..it's labyrinthic, atmospheric and it contains one of the best secrets in the whole serie (great hollow+ash lake)
but then again..i also love the tomb of the giants and the catacombs but i don't really like the duke's archives & crystal cave...so maybe i'm the weird one
+Diskhate I'm with you, I expected Blighttown to be an unforgiving poison hell-hole, but It's really atmospheric. I had a great time dealing with this area, it felt like I was really climbing down a sewer and exploring it. I honestly expected Bligttown to be much much worse.
Johsty Bach I have got 60fps the entire game( im on pc with dsfix) besides the boss fight with seath and then it kept dropping to 20
I've never played Demon Souls due to me never even know the SoulsBorne series existed until Dark Souls 1 was free for gold. But it's good to know where the idea for the hellish landscape known as blighttown was born from.
play it
Buy ps4 only for bloodborne and uncharted 4. You will not regret
The poison swamp in blighttown is a quick run. The poison swamp in demon's souls is a never ending helscape lol.
All the poison swamps are neverending hellscapes imo
Time to spare some money
Wait, 1-2 Adjudicator Archstone? I found a fuck-up!
ya I noticed it too
It's just like the shrine of Amana only worse
Oliver Space I saw that too lol
Wait, he was serious?
He's actually gonna make a vid about booties and waifus?
Yes :D
Gavlan will obviously be #1
Typical Weeaboo Asylum has the greatest ass. Surely number 1
Everyday We Stray Further From God’s Light
It's "every day," not "everyday." Just because a compound word version of a phrase exists doesn't mean it's always the correct one to use. "Everyday" is an adjective.
I started with demons souls so I remember when dark souls 1 came out I thought it was weird that it was open world.
It's not really open world though lol the game has a semi-open world that's more similar to that of Meteoidvania titles, having you backtrack previous areas for new items and enemies, etc.
@@xXLunatikxXlul A friend who played it before me told me it was open world as well. In my mind, I was picturing something like Skyrim, but with Demon's Souls combat? I had no idea what to expect. But yeah, it definitely is much closer to Metroid than an "open world" game.
@@rud5101 He was probably talking about Ohhhhhh Elden Ring.
@@Jayloke but that was like 2 or 3 years ago
@@rud5101 That's exactly why I wrote the comment ;)
Even the worst levels in DeS have great attributes
True and they have plenty of backstory to go along with them!
69 nice
Not really, prob the worst areas overall besides 2
@@thagginmcswaggin6913 bruh
@@toooydoeur yeah the areas are pretty fifty fifty. Arch 1 has mostly good areas and arch 3 has amazing ones. I like arch 5 but understand why most hate it
One of my favorite thing about this series is how well the environments are designed. I hope you decide to do the other games as well!
Also someone might have noted already but for #9, it's not the Adjuticator Archstone it's the Phalenx one leading up to the Tower Knight.
Yeah just started playing Demons Souls, and noticed that right away in the video 😅
Fantastic video as usual. Thanks again for the effort put into all of your content.
5-3 should be on list. These cute babies deserve to be shown
5-2 totally successful in making you feel like you’re in a swamp and you’ll never get out
Sad to see this series go,i love your ranking videos but if you aren't feeling it then I understand,fantastic video as always
awesome video man, keep up the sick vids!
Keep up the great work man!
Took your sweet time ! I got bored to refresh youtube just to check if you uploaded anything (XD)
As usual ,awesome video ! (5-2 world...From Software's wet dream)
Right now your my fav channel and you introduced me today dark souls which is like the best thing you could do
"strafe left for the win simulator* so it's like nascar?
I really have to thank you Demodcracy, you got me stuck in the dark souls series, and am even playing it now...So thank you
Dank content as always Dadmod
Love your videos!
Watching this after playing the remake really makes you appreciate all the work blue point put into these areas
Aside from the second half of 3-2 and 4-2, I love every area in this game, even the valley of defilement and especially stonefang tunnel
I remember all of the Valley of Defilement having scared the shit outta me when I started my Souls journey. Same goes with the Tower of Latria’s Prison of Hope. No other area when I played the OG Demon’s Souls has ever given me the heebs before.
Hell yes. I've been waiting for this
Curious list. Stonefang tunnel is by far my favorite archstone, with 2-1 being my favorite area. Surprised to see it receive so little love
How? It's so bland!
I died more on 4-2 than I did on any boss in demon's souls, DS1, DS2 OR DS3, I had to give up and go beat a couple of other areas to raise the world tendency.. On going back I did it in one go. So frustrating.
5-2 is my favorite area of the game. The ever present rain, slow poison swamp, and oppressive darkness make it a really creepy fucking place and I love it.
Got to say I'm sad to hear that there won't be any more area rankings, I was so looking forward to what you had to say about the other souls game areas this being said I do however really prefer seeing content that you enjoyed making because really the whole point of watching videos is entertainment and honestly if you enjoy making the content rather than it being a chore it's likely to be as awesome as the rest of your content :)
As much as I love 3-1, 3-2 actually stuck with me more. Same stunning atmosphere, but the scale and exploration was crazy as far as DeS goes, 1-3 also doesn't surprise me. It sticks in my head very well. Really felt like a winding city
Love the vid man keep up the good work and if you can can you help me with the bloodborne DLC
I honestly think that 4-2 isn't that bad, the stupid ghost ladies that are super fast and kind of invisible are awful but 4-2 as a whole wasn't complete garbage, especially because you can grind for souls there cause whenever you kill the infinitely spawning ghost men you get 2500 souls each.
Those lasers tho ._.
or you can use Stockpile Thomas and soul items but sure whatever floats your boat
@@Mst3kfanatic1 yeah because sitting there mashing square for half an hour is so fun right? the only time thats even a halfway acceptable approach is when youre cloning the old ones soul.
please keep making this series please!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOO new Demod vid my day is complete :D
even though you're discontinuing this series, I'm glad you did this particular video. I'm finally getting demons souls, and I wanted to have an idea of what areas to be careful of. with this and the boss ranking I know enough to assist me, but enough not to ruin the game. so thanks DMod.
He called 1-2 The Adjudicator arch stone lol it's 1-2 Phalanx Archstone
Mr. Minecraft That’s what we call a “typo”.
@@yaboi2500 Thank you captain obvious.
@@yaboi2500 What tha fuck?
Yes finally back! So happy!
1-1 and 1-3 REALLY give u that medieval vibe
1-1 is a GREAT entry into the soulsborne series it has EVERYTHING
Bah, I love 5-2, gets more hate than it deserves. Not surprised it is so low, but it is one of my favorite areas.
you are not alone, 5-2 and 5-1 are my favorite areas along with Blightown and The Gutter
I agree. I think Blighttown wouldn't get such a bad stigma if it weren't for the framerate. The first time through I genuinely enjoyed it. Good atmosphere and I've never heard anyone comment on the verticality of it
I Love 5-2 for the atmosphere and the huge area, but I absolutly hate blighttown on the other hand, probably because of the frame rate and the flying, constantly spawning bugs
Blighttown would be great, but...
MOSQUITOS, HO!
after a new playthrough, 5-1 is way worse than 5-2
you're Remake boss countdown brought me here :D
Damn man. This area series was the only series I wanted to see anyone make for a long time! Here's to hoping you'll get mad enough at each area to rage about them all in some videos eventually!
Commentary was lacking on this one, but it's understandable since you yourself weren't feeling the series anymore.
Keep up the awesome work in the future! You're still a very entertaining commentator.
This became very helpful once again.
Having watched this after finishing remake. I don't feel much has changed. Props to Bluepoint for keeping consistency.
Even after all this time, I still love the Valley of Defilement.
The area and its enemies gave me a feeling that I wish I could get anywhere else.
It just felt off in the best way imaginable. Kinda like discovering the old workshop in bloodborne for the first time, but with the whole area instead of a small section.
That, and I didn't mind the swamp as much as others.
Honestly, I can't wait to see how the remake will improve it, even though I won't get to play it for a while.
Hopefully you do eventually make at least a Top 10 per DS game of you favorite areas.
Are you still going to be ranking the games themselves? I've been super excited for that!
you do you boo, I'll be happy listening to you talk in 20 min videos regardless of which game or topic you're talking about.
God I will always love Demon Soul's the most despite never actually getting passed flamelurker...
Man watching this now that the remaster is out, my god hahah
Here's interesting ranking series: ranking the bosses musics of each game with those criteria:
-how remarquable they are
-how well they represent the boss or the fight
Democracy i was screaming when your video was uploaded
Your videos are amazing
I understand why nobody likes the valley of defilement but I love everything about it.
This channel in future: ranking the swords in souls series; ranking graphics in souls series; ranking the sounds in souls series; ranking the bushes on the areas in souls series etc.
Damn. I love the valley of defilement. Its so intricately woven and it's got such style to it. I feel like they must have been super proud of it. That said, omg ya it is hell sometimes lol.
hears a challenge theDeModcracy, do a boss ranking based of of aesthetics. how pretty it is, how good the music is, how well it is designed and on how fun it is to fight. it will give you a better appreciation for just how good these enemy's are.
+theDeModcracy Good on you m8, I can appreciate your decision. Your voice just didn't have the same energy or life in it that it usually does, which, honestly speaking, impacted the entertainment value of the video, so I'm glad you made that choice, keep up the good work
daddy demod back again with more amazing content
I'm disappointed that u won't rank the areas for dks1, dks2, and dks3. I was rly looking forward to it.
I wish your videos came up more than once a week FeelsBadMan
can anyone give me a link so i can download it in my pc cant find free link anywere
THANK GOD ANOTHER RANK VID
Pity. I'd really be interested in hearing your ranking of the Dark Souls areas. I mean obviously the worst area is Blighttown and the best area is _probably_ Anor Londo, but I have no idea how you'd rate the rest. I heard that the 4 Lord Soul areas (Lost Izalith, Crystal Caverns, New Londo and the Tomb of Giants) are considered a huge step-down from the rest of the game by a lot of people and considered kind of rushed (kind of like Xen in Half-Life) and I wanted to hear your opinion on them, as well as what you thought of a lot of other interesting areas like the Catacombs, Ash Lake and Undead Burg (best true opening area ever?).
Oh well, looking forward to Best Waifus (Fair Lady FTW!). NOT looking forward to Best Booties because I know it's going to turn into a total joke list and you're going to put Stray Demon at #1 for lulz, blah.
ArcaneAzmadi I have to say I enjoyed Blighttown more than Anor Londo
I'd have to say that lost izalith would be the worst area
LeadFaun I thought Crystal Caves was enjoyable and pretty, but short. Tomb of Giants, on the other hand, I hate with a passion.
LeadFaun I just hated the lack of visibility, and being a non-magic build my only solution was the skull lantern, which removed my shield. That combined with the already maze-like design of the area and the annoying dog-skeletons just made me dread going there every playthrough. I will say that Nito is at least a better boss battle than Seath, but they both kind of suck so that's not saying much.
LeadFaun Don't get me wrong, he looks awesome, but I dislike the ring design of the boss arena, and I especially hate all the skeleton minions. They would always respawn constantly and pester me while Nito would charge his AOE attack, which combined with the small amount of running space just made the fight a hassle for me. Not a difficult boss overall, just irritating.
"Pain in the Stray Demon" Oh god do I love you.
Valley of Defilement is a really good world, not the best looking, but perfect for speedrunning it and I got my first Ephemeral Eye drops there. The path is just so simple I didn't really use a bow or health regen (I only use bow on dragons/Maneater 1), just black grass and a BBS, and ran to the middle of each section of land they were standing on. At least it didn't have keys/elevators like Latria did, also yeah you can't use melee properly in some parts of Latria so you can't lock in to the enemies near cliffs or they fly away and you fall in, just bait them if you use melee though.
DeMod can I put my crystal halberd in your gaping dragon?
Awww YEaH love this series can't wait for the dlc
Couldn't watch this earlier cause i was playing DeS for the first time but now I'VE BEATEN THE FALSE DRAGON AND I CAN WATCH THIS BOOYEAH
I'd love to see the OG Dark Souls areas ranked. Even if you don't do 2 or 3.
you should have rated the areas on criteria, like the boss rankings.
difficulty: how hard is it to get through.
lore: how well does it represent its lore.
design: how well designed is the area.
content: how important is it for in terms of what NPCs are there and the items you could get. (like demon ruins; its one of the most bullshit areas in darksouls 3, but it makes up for the items you can loot such as FUGS.
No
I've never had any issues with world 5 but I guess because I'm using Yurt armor which lowers the effects of the swamps.
Since when did Adjudicator move to bolitaria?
I am personally satisfied with 1-3, its a masterpiece of a level
Hey, man. Long time no talk, love the video.
I never actually got to ask, what did you think of Salt and Sanctuary? We talked about it awhile back, but I stopped watching shortly after. Not because you had lackluster content though.
I really love this game. It’s one of my favorites in the series. I wish more people gave it a chance!
It would help if I didn't have to buy a ps3 to do so
@@randomguy6679 u don't anymore:)
@@randomguy6679 just emulate it on pc
I bought a used PS3 just to play it lol. Then I got it on PS5 a couple years later
Can someone pls timestamp this? I haven't beat any bosses except Phalanx so I wannna know which first archstone is best.
I absolutely adore all of Boletarian Palace and Tower of Latria. I agree with 1-3's placement
gg lets go withe the videos again
I love how the Phalanx stone was labeled the adjudicatos stone
I would say that 3-2 beats 3-1 to a pulp. And it really comes down to 3 things
1: The enormous "heart" that you have to drop made me feel absolutely weak. Its size and the manner with which it seems to be worshiped makes me feel insignificant and terrorized.
2: The cages which take you to the bottom. Never in a game where you are on height comparable to mountains,yet walking on thin bridges have i ever imagined that i would end up exploring the bottom. The speed with which the cages move made me feel like i was travelling miles and miles deeper into the depths of hell that is the area. Blood lakes,bugs that would give you nightmares,huge tentacles just moving around passively and most importantly:darkness. Without you to bring light to the place with the augite,this place is a pit of neverending torment and darkness that you cannot even see from atop the pillars. It is without doubt the scariest and most intimidating experience in my life....those goddamn cages.
I have one issue, really...you included the under Nexus, but not the place where you fight astraea? as far as design of a boss place, it's pretty big and has some enemies, and it looks cool
Adjudicator Archstone appears twice. I'm sure you meant for Phalanx to be for 1-2, of course. Not sure if that was pointed out yet or not lol
I know this is super late but did anyone notice at 5:25 he put adjudicators archstone for world 1-2.
do you think you can rank the souls games in general?
well, my house is git robbed, but this lifted my spirits
I was really interested in your DS2 rankings. Pity, really. Heck, even a top 5 or something ;)
I understand the 5-1 hate to a degree, but to me that level is just sooooo atmospheric and the level is just so interesting that it's personally one of my absolute favorites in the series. The only levels I hate are 4-2 and 2-2.
ITS ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!!!
5:25 The what Archstone? XD Mod you goofed
I have too finish 5-1 t/m 5-3 because my favorite weapon in Demon Souls, The Moonlight Sword is in 5-3
Hey Demodcracy do you tried NIOH? It's very challenging.
was there an area like 5-2 in dark souls 2 or bloodborne? he said they re did it in every iteration that followed.
I hate every area except for first levels of Boletarian Palace and Shrine Of Storms. The first level of Tower Of Latria used to be my favourite but in my second playthrough, trying to find my way was a hellish nightmare. I still very dig the atmosphere.And Shrine Of Storms has some very cool enemies and areas.
Funny thing,in the Spanish community,Valley of Defilement is actually one of the favorite areas of most people.
you mentioned a survey but i never saw one for areas. There were several for bosses but i've not seen one for areas. Have I been blind?
It was in description in Top 10 Best Bloodborne Areas
Little did past demod know, a remake was on its way
thing is. I love all of your videos. especially the bosses.
do whatever you want to do making videos-wise. I mean, you would have a ton of work and editing ahead of you for the areas of the Dark Souls series. my only complaint is... where are some more hype/hate train vids????
