So I kind of want to get back into this game... but remember very little about it. This was the very first souls game I ever got in to, I remember it being pretty punishing. I did beat it, but I wimped out and rolled a royal, grabbed the crescent sword, and magicked everything to death. I remember vividly two-shotting the boss of the swampy area with firestorm at 6 fps

This game got me into Souls and I've since beaten all of the Dark Souls games multiple times, but I've never actually gone back to Demons Souls.
I'd like to revisit it... how can I get a 2H str build going (if this is even good for Demons Souls). Are there some must-have weapons I can get in 1-1 or 2-1 for this kind of thing?
I also remember this game being quite unforgiving, no bonfires right in front of bosses for this one... sound about right? (I remember having to farm healing items).
**** EDIT: Okay, so I cleared 1-1, got the bastard sword and upped it to +3 with the stones from 2-1.. using it 2H and doing decent damage with it. The game is easier to do well with after spending all of the time learning Dark Souls. Sure is a lot missing from the combat in Demons Souls though, in terms of moves, combos, ripostes, etc. It seems a lot more basic. And I find its pretty hard to time rolls correctly.
Not doing to badly, I made it to 2-1 but man that spider is still so tough!
I'm not sure what's wrong with my game though, in both 1-1 and 2-1, once items were broken (crates, etc), the audio just kept chopping up, like a CD that was skipping. The game still played (framerate dropped a bit), but boy was it annoying! Anyone have that happen? My disc seems fine, no scratches or anything. I hope it isn't a sign of my PS3 dying
