Welcome to Lord Fussington's Walkthrough of Demon's Souls.

In the "Valley of Defilement 5-3," we descend into the depths of this vast, bleak valley to battle its final boss, "Maiden Astraea." She is easy to kill; Garl Vinland, her protector and possible lover, on the other hand, is not so easy. Also, the worst sort of swamp festers here - I suppose because it is the very bottom of the valley: it causes plague - oh, and plague babies rise from it to attack you. In other words, avoid the swamp as much as possible. You can ignore the depraved ones on the cliffside - or kill them; I certainly do.

Garl Vinland's moves mainly consist of smashing his rather heavy mace (Bramd) into your skull - he isn't picky about it being in one or both hands; his shield (Dark Silver Shield) is much better in his hands than in ours - it blocks much more than it should... so pretty much everything.

I do not recommend using a bow and arrows strategy on Vinland: he has high defense and blocks a lot - if your arrow is blocked, it will only do one damage. I suggest a strategy similar to the one in the video: provoke him into attacking and when he is recovering from smashing his mace into the ground, you can either slash, bash or fire a spell in his face.

I opt for the sword and shield method, but a spear held in both hands can work just as well - your rolls have to be much more precise though. In my experience, fire spells take forever, but homing soul arrow is brilliantly: cast the spell, provoke him into attacking, and it'll do great damage; you have to time it so that he doesn't block it with his shield.

However, if you do not want to fight Garl Vinland, you can just kill Maiden Astraea first: when you encounter him afterwards, he will not attack you, unless provoked; quit, reload, and his items will be waiting for you - as they would if you had killed him.

In terms of Maiden Astraea, you can kill her easily: her armour is really just Vinland. If you kill Vinland first, she will commit suicide when you talk to her. On the other hand, if you haven't killed Garl Vinland and opt to fight her with ranged attacks (e.g., bow and arrows on the cliffside), she will heal; your stats and weapons must cause enough damage to overcome her healing spell. Furthermore, if you haven't killed Garl Vinland and opt to fight her with melee attacks, she will use God's Wrath.

To be honest, the environment and Garl Vinland are more dangerous than Maiden Astraea, but patience and prudence can make this another very easy boss battle.
