Find Stones and Upgrade Weapon: Demon's Souls PS5 Guide

In order to upgrade your weapons in the Demon's Souls remake on PlayStation 5, you will need to free blacksmith Ed, give him the soul of the Flamelurker and find many materials. 


There are a number of ways you can upgrade your weapons in Demon's Souls, but to unlock the best options you need to meet several conditions. You must have killed the Flamelurker boss in the Stonefang Tunnel, and bring his soul to the blacksmith Ed who is at the bottom of the moving platforms in the first area of the tunnels. 


Even without this soul, Ed can upgrade all weapons with all components. But to forge the unique weapons, it will be necessary to give him said soul. Each type of weapon has access to different types of upgrades, which will require stones of a specific type. You can check your stock of stones in the "Materials" inventory.
