Upgrades

Weapon Upgrades in Demon's Souls are an essential part of character development. After finding a Weapon that you like given its moveset, reach, and weight, you will want to invest in upgrading it in order to increase its damage output. Upgrading your weapons is actually better than outright leveling up.

Some special upgrades can be made out of Demon's Souls, please refer to Boss Soul Weapons for details.
