I finally get around playing Demon's Souls: Part 4

Today in Demon's Souls news:
Murder and squandered opportunities.
Well as it turns out the Crescent Falchion has become my goto secondary. With its fast swings and lower stamina usage it's more than proven its worth.
These qualities came in real handy when I challenged the Tower Knight again. With the rapid strikes and bonus magic damage I had the knight on his ass in seconds. I then discovered that his crotch isn't a weak point. I kept hitting the giant bastard there anyway. Having brought the foe to low health by many strikes to the legs I jogged to to his head to land a finishing blow. A good fight.
I then returned to 1-1 to see if I could interest the dragons in some arrows. Two hits and 8 damage later nobody was convinced this was a good idea. I decided to take my full health bar elsewhere.
Elsewhere turned out to be 2-1 and I managed to get myself a little lost. After running in a circle once I found where I was supposed to be going. The rest of the level proved to fuss and a was soon facing a giant, metal, flame spewing spider. Turns out that spewing fire isn't a great tactic when your enemy can just withstand the damage and get some healing items.
I returned to the nexus for healing and levels. Then onto 4-1. With the Vanguard demon dead I headed straight on through, slapping down golden skeletons and nabbing some extra items. Soon I looked down the stairs upon yet another of the Black Katana Bones. I invited him up to the landing with some arrows. He responded by leaping to me. DIsgusted by this lack of decorum I slapped him silly with my Falchion. Or was it slap him dead? Either or.
Then came the Adjudicator himself. I quickly headed down to face him. I was then promptly killed because an attempt at healing didn't happen, leaving me standing still like and idiot until I got smooshed. I was not impressed.
Not in the mood for a repeat I moved to 2-2 and crystal lizard hunting. This time I was prepared. Taking my halberd into both hands I ran down the crystal lizards and poked them into submission. Even running into the Red Phantom trap I still slew the reptile before turning on the invaders. Despite outnumbering me they proved unimpressive and where cut down to size. Then I moved on to the lizard den. Sadly I was only able to slay a couple of the lizards within. Even so, I had acquired so much ore that I needed to swap out the Thief's Ring for the Ring of Herculean Strength. I then met Patches. I'm not sure he enjoyed having a giant bug explode on his head. Oh well. That said I know I didn't enjoy having three worms jump up and freak out the camera leading to an ignoble death.
Spawning in the nexus I devested myself of baggage and took a well deserved rest.
