Not really. This is a set of checklists and information that you can use while playing Demon's Souls to make sure you don't miss an item, action, conversation, or boss. If you need a walkthrough, you can click on the zone titles to read the wiki walkthrough

Demon's Souls is not a linear game and has multiple ways of progressing. This guide highlights zones as they become available, so feel free to follow however you please. You can always check things off in a different order

Yes. Use the profile selector and buttons in the Options tab at the top of the page to setup multiple profiles
