In the first main area of Demon's Souls, hit your head long enough and you'll encounter a pair of dragons. On one side of the area is a dragon lair where a blue dragon and a red dragon guard many treasures. On the other is a bridge where, if you stick around too long, you will feel the wrath of the Red Dragon's bombardments. In this guide, we'll explain exactly how to avoid the dragon on the bridge and near the treasure.
Go to the bridge and when you hear the red dragon, go back to the area with the treasure
What you want to do here is first collect the treasure and then cross the bridge. To do this, you must manipulate the dragon into coming to guard the bridge. So head towards the bridge and start crossing it but don't go too far. You will hear the dragon approaching and be ready to turn the other way as the dragon will start spitting fire which will significantly injure you. Instead, when you hear the dragon coming back the other way and go to that area in the image above. Hook the right wall and you can pick up the purple fire shield.
One thing to note here is that you also need to watch out for the blue dragon's tail and can attack you with it if you get close or stay too long. The purple shield is the second glowing orb on the right side along the wall. The first is a healing item. You must also be careful not to stay too long because the red dragon will return. You can repeat this process to get all the goodies here, or you can just grab the shield and go.
To pass the red dragon guarding the bridge, you simply have to do it upside down. After the dragon finishes its bombardment on the bridge, it will return to the treasure area. You'll want to make sure that when he bombarded him he killed the majority of the enemies on the bridge, that way you can just walk across while he's resting near the treasure. But don't wait too long because he'll be back soon to bombard the bridge.
