Unfortunately, they will have to wait a little longer because there is a long quest in Demon’s Souls Remake that players must go on to find the long-awaited armor of the fan-favorite boss. Bluepoint definitely didn’t take it easy on the players and they are going to find themselves traversing the entire game multiple times.
Retrieve The Ceramic Coins
The first step to obtaining the new armor set is to find the many Ceramic Coins. Getting the Ceramic Coins is no easy task. Each Archstone harbors at least two for a grand total of 13 in each playthrough of the game. Bluepoint has also taken measures to prevent players from taking the easy route.
If another player joins someone’s game to drop coins, they will break. To get all of the coins, players will need to go back and forth from having Pure White World Tendency and Pure Black World Tendency. Players will also need to complete two playthroughs of the game to get all the coins required to get the key (which is 26).
Pure White World Tendency Coins
There are a total of coins that will need to find with white world tendency. Players should start off by completing the game without killing the final boss so they can get all of their world tendencies to pure white. Be careful not to die in human form or the world tendency will drop.

It is safer to stay in phantom form so that world tendency doesn’t drop when the player dies. Players who want to safely kill themselves without worrying about world tendency can do so in the Nexus. Here are where all the coins are hidden:
World 1-1 (Gates of Boletaria): In the room where two soldiers break down the doors after rescuing Ostrava. Destroy the furniture to find the coin. World 1-3 (Inner Ward): From the spawn, head up the stairs and there will be some guards. Take the side path near the guards and go through the broken railing. Drop down two ledges and turn around to find a ladder. At the top of the ladder will be some boxes. Break these for the coin. World 1-3 (Inner Ward): The second coin in the inner ward is located near where the Primeval Demon spawns. This courtyard also overlooks the boss fog gate. Take the upper walkway and break the box in the corner with crows around it. World 2-2 (Tunnel City): Starting from the Flamelurker Archstone, go to the lava pit. There will be a bunch of Bearbugs here along with some islands in the lava. Break the molted shells to get the coin. World 3-1 (Prison of Hope): Deep in the Prison of Hope, players will discover an enemy that is a ball of bodies. Near this enemy are a bunch of prison cells. Inside one of these cells is a chair. Break the chair to get the coin. 4-1 (Island’s Edge): The coin is in the same cell as the Grave Robber in a box in the corner. 5-2 (Swamp of Sorrow): From the start of the area, follow the scaffolding until the ledges. Drop down onto the first ledge and turn to face the wall. There is a narrow ledge with a crate that players can drop onto. Drop onto the ledge and break the crate.
Pure Black World Tendency Coins
After collecting all the white world tendency coins, players will need to work on collecting the black world tendency ones. To drop a player’s world tendency to pure black, players can die while in human form or kill NPCs. There are a total of six coins players can find with black world tendency. Here’s where they are all hidden:
World 1-2 (The Lord’s Path): In the tower with the boss fog wall. Go to the upper floor and break the table near the winch the controls the drawbridge. World 1-3 (Inner Ward): Right before the spawn location of the two Fat Official Black Phantoms there is a ledge that players can vault over. Below that ledge is a barrel that can be broken to get the coin. 2-1 (Smithing Grounds): In the area with the scaffolding that goes along the fire lizard-covered column. Defeat the wolves on the way down and then break some boxes near the ore-smelting pots to get the coin. 3-1 (Prison of Hope): Take the side path to avoid the statue that fires arrows. Find the two adjacent corridors that lead to a large staircase. This will lead to a courtyard with a tower. There is a box in the courtyard sitting next to a grate that contains the coin. 4-2 (The Ritual Path): Find Patches and he will knock the player into a pit. Break all of the boxes in the pit to find the coin. 5-2 (Swamp of Sorrow): Go through the level and reach the boss fog wall for the Dirty Colossus. Break the boxes near the fog wall to get the coin.
Get The Rusted Key
After going through the process of collecting all of the ceramic coins through two playthroughs of the game, players will need to drop all their hard-earned coins for Sparkly the Crow.

Sparkly can be found at the highest point of the Island’s Edge. Once a player drops 26 ceramic coins, Sparkly will drop the Rusted Key. This key is used to open a new door that leads to the Penetrator’s Armor Set.
Get The Armor Set
To get the armor set, players need to head to the Tower Knight Archstone. From here, run forward to the alleyway that is taken when trying to rescue Yuria. Be sure to have the Bloody Iron Key on hand to open the first gate. After that, follow the alleyway all the way to the dead-end that is covered by boxes. Destroy the boxes and attack the wall behind them to reveal a doorway. Use the Rusted Key to open the doorway. The armor set is on the other side on top of a bench.
