The PS5 is finally here and one of itsbest and most anticipated launch titlesis theDemon’s Soulsremake. The originalDemon’s Soulsreleased on the PlayStation 3, which garnered tons of praise and eventually led to the creation of theDark Soulstrilogy as well asBloodborne.
One ofDemon’s Soulsmost curious puzzles is the appearance of a mysterious locked door in World 1-3, Tower Knight Archstone. The door was hidden away by a fake wall, though eventually theDemon’s Soulscommunity was able to work together to discover its existence.

Speedrunner and Twitch streamer, Distortion2, figured out thatplayers could unlock the mysterious door with a Rusted Keythat could only be obtained after giving Sparkly the Crow 26 Ceramic Coins. However, finding the Ceramic Coins themselves is an ordeal in and of itself as they are incredibly well hidden across the entire game and only 11 have been found so far, forcing players to do multiple New Game+ runs in order to obtain enough for Sparkly the Crow to reward players with the Rusty Key. To make matters worse, finding the keys is entirely dependent on the players current World Tendency, which makes for some incredibly particular planning involved in order to discover the various Ceramic Coins hidden throughoutDemon’s Souls.
There are two types of World Tendency, White and Black, and both are required to find the Ceramic Coins. Players can check their current World Tendency from the Tendency tab andthis World Tendency guide will explain furtherhow it works. The Ceramic Coins are hidden within breakable objects with a specified World Tendency needed in order for them to spawn. The coins are hidden as follows:
Pure White World Tendency:
Pure Black World Tendency:
As of now, only 11 coins have been found, and it is very likely there are more hidden throughoutDemon’s Souls. It should be noted that picking up a dropped coin in an invaded world will lead to the Ceramic Coin break, so there are no duplication tricks so far. Once all 26 coins have been found, players can receive the Rusted Key from Sparkly and open the door to obtain the Penetrator Armor set, fromone ofDemon’s Soulsiconic bosses.
Demon’s Soulsis filled with a plethora of hidden items, which makes the experience all the more rewarding once players have finally tracked them down. Thankfully, the community is full of helpful guides to assist those who feel lost.
