Demon's Souls - Defeating Old King Doran

Defeating Old King Doran can be a difficult task but it is possible to do it without really having to fight him at all.

My Soul Level was only 31 during the making of this video.

Old King Doran is located behind the doors that are guarded by a Red Eye Knight on Boletarian Palace. You will need the Mausoleum Key to unlock the doors. The way I got the key was I accidentally killed Ostrava when he scared me lol, but I'm sure there is another way to get it if you don't want to kill him.

Have the Thieves Ring equipped and then all you have to do is get his attention and he will follow you, run out of his sight and he will stop, turn around, and start walking back... as soon as he starts to do that, sprint towards him and press R1 to stab him in the back. Repeat this technique until you defeat Old King Doran. This can take some time if you're not very strong and/or have a weak weapon.

If you don't have the patience to do that, then you should first challenge him and keep using the strategy above, he will soon stop and say that you have proven your strength. You are able to get the Demonbrandt sword from the Mausoleum. Equip the sword and use it against him using the strategy. I was able to take him out in about 2-3 minutes and was putting 81 damage to him each time I would stab him in the back. Before I got the sword I was only doing 21.

Anyway... if you kill him you will get the Old King's Trophy. Also, the Eternal Warrior's Ring, Ancient King's Mask, Ancient King's Breastplate, Ancient King's Gauntlets and Ancient King's Leggings.

lol backstaber to a whole new limit XD also if all you have to do is get out of his line of sight then why run all the way over there and not just around the corner next to the stairs while he's on the ground from your backstab?

[SwiitchStyles]

@TheRandomHope 'Cause he keeps following me or walking the same direction I'm going.
