One of the new in-game options of Demon's Souls is called Fractured Mode. Everything is reversed horizontally, instead of holding your weapon in the right hand, your character will hold it in the left hand, and instead of turning left, a corridor will turn right, for example.
Its main interest is to offer a little freshness and disorientation (or confusion) to the veterans who played the original game. It has in fact been neglected and underestimated in general.
However, it hides a secret. By playing with an extreme world tendency, i.e. pure white or pure black in Fractured mode, a new item can be discovered: the Ceramic Coin.
By bringing enough of these coins to Sparkly the Crow, he will give a Rusted Key to the player, which will allow you to open the secret door.
Distortion2, the first player to open the door had brought 30 Ceramic Coins.
The item behind the secret door was the set of armor of the Penetrator boss, who is waiting for the player at the end of the area in which the mystery door is located.
A nice addition to the game from Bluepoint Games, as many of the original fans were disappointed not to have access to this iconic armor set back in 2009.
