Status Effects in Demon's Souls and Demon's Souls Remake are special conditions that apply to the player character, and sometime enemies. Not all Demon's Souls Status Effects are detrimental to the player, with some being instead the result of Buffs or other beneficial states. You can find how to cure damaging status effects below.
How do you know when a status effect affects you or an enemy?
Unlike in the Dark Souls titles, no status bar appears when you are being afflicted with a status affect. However, all Status Effects information is displayed under the player character's health bar, on the top left of the screen. On the other hand, enemies are covered by a notable halo when under Status Effects.

If you are in Soul Form (dead). You can farm Full Moon Grass from the Fat Officials at Stonefang Tunnel... Once you have gotten the hang of this game that is... Basterd Sword+3 can deal about 100 damage 2H . They are weak against Flame Toss... So you can alternate between the damage... From the archstone run pass the miners throwing rocks go right up the elevator and then kill the official... run down the hall and slash the three dogs with either basterd sword or battle then kill the next fat official... run up the stairs and then kill the next fat man up on the rafters. After this run all the way back but also drop down below the rafters from where you killed the fat official... run to the elevators and drop to your death... game reloads and so you can reset the enemies... If you want to also kill the miners use Mail Breaker they are weak to pierce attacks.
how come a lot of the time that I use status proc weapons, they don't proc any status at all?
