      There's some scary people lurking around that place. Remember once, in the original ps3 version, I kept invading that frighful fella with the Gravelord sword, killed me nearly 6 times before I got him. You get invaded by one of those unprepared and you're done.

    One thing I would like to add to the beginning of the video. In regards to the silver knights, once you've gone through Anor Londo but before killing O&S, spend like an hour just practicing parrying the silver knights. Once you're able to parry those fuckers consistently black/silver knights are a cakewalk even at SL1.

    Other than not knowing how poise works, this Is a great video. The stagger isn't based on how much damage you do, it's based on the poise break of your weapon. For instance, two great combustions will stagger Mega smough, no matter how much damage they do.

    • @TheGhostInitiative
      @TheGhostInitiative  Před 5 lety +4

      semi awesomatic This is true, and admittedly I phrased it wrong and glossed over the topic too quickly. But the point I meant to make was that its helpful to figure out where the poise break is on your weapon by taking note of how many times you have to hit the boss to stagger them. I didn’t explain the poise “damage” of weapons since you can’t actually check that stat in game (even though it does exist) and trying to explain invisible weapon stats to new players warrants a separate video. Had I not killed Ornstein in 4 or 5 hits I would have explained that more haha.

      I am using the black knight halberd which actually might be your solution to the blacksmith problem. All of the black knights in the game have a chance to drop their weapon although they don’t respawn so you only have one shot at each one. The black knight weapons however are all very good and reach max upgrade at +5 because they take twinkling titanite instead of the regular stuff. I’m sure you can find a resource online with the black knight locations but at 11:00 in my top 5 weapons video I show the locations of the first 3 you encounter in the game.

  • @vans2548
    @vans2548 Před rokem +3

    Some tips for going for Ornstein's armor:
    1st phase Smough is pretty weak to bleed. Not only helpful in chunking his health pool, but will also stagger him. Managing Ornstein is the challenge though, you will either want to kite him away from Smough and put some pillars in between you and him, or just put Smough in between you and him and have them both close, so Ornstein doesn't do his crazy zip lunge. Ornstein can still hit you through Smough's body though, so that's annoying. But still, a fairly quick way to get through to the harder part - Super Ornstein.
    Super Ornstein's butt slam has a smaller aoe, which is nice since that tends to oneshot you.
    He can be poisoned, and toxified, but it'll take forever to tick through his health, and he's usually not going to stand in place while you aim your poison/toxic. He can also be bled, but his resistances are higher, and you generally won't have long enough windows to build up bleed quickly enough. Chances are, if you are at a point where you can get bleed hits on him regularly, you probably don't need help beating him.
    He's like a speedier iron Golem, you'll find yourself running around his legs a lot, and lock on can be your enemy, same as the golem fight. The attack where he spears you into the air, and the booty slam are the main killers, it's best to just go in for single hits, circle for maybe one more, and then dodge back out. If you're continually dancing around his legs chances are you will get caught by one of those two attacks, especially because his spearing attack has incredible tracking, and if you're near his legs, you probably won't be able to see it coming.

      You’re good enough. I hope you got through it. If not, keep revisiting it and just “play” with them. Take out any pressure to beat them the first round and just get a feel for them. I had to accept doing a one for one hit with Ornstein. Wasn’t quick enough to get in and out like tutorial. This inevitably got me in a pinch and killed quite a few times, but enough times I could escape and heal while walking away. Snorlax is easyish the second half. Just dodge to the side of him so you have time to hit.

    O and S are definitely the hardest boss in the game. A pretty good way to beat them is to go in wearing the full silver knight set minus the sword, the crystal halberd and havels ring. Make sure to keep both O and S in front of you. Wait until ornstein attacks you then block him and get a hit in. After that run off and repeat until the fight ends. You should probably circle round the arena well you wait for the attack. Smough should not be a problem if you only get in one jab each time but if he does get close just roll around his moves and get back. One last thing is you cant block ornsteins lightning tosh or the large dash move so just dodge them. Once ornstein is dead suped up smough is pretty easy. Just watch out for the ass stomp move and only go for hits after he slams his hammer down. Good luck with these to assholes.

    • @MrEmptyKay

      I was having so much trouble managing both bosses at the same time. I just couldn't find an opening. For me, the strat that finally worked was heavy armor, havel's ring for medium roll, black knight sword, black knight shield and iron flesh. As soon as the battle started, I cast iron flesh on myself, took Ornstien's charge to the shield and then face tanked him. It is crude, but he was dead before Smough could even cross the arena. After that, heal back to full and do the dance with Super Smough.

    I just took them down on only my second attempt, with Solaire as backup (he died during the fight, but bade it through stage one). The first attempt was at level ~60, and I was killed within 10 seconds. I started farming souls and chunks from the knights.. sentinels, silver and the two royal guard knights. I did this until I had raised to level 90, and upgraded the Quelag Furysword to +4. Man, when I went in there, I beat Ornstein down in three contacts (times I was able to start swinging as much as I could) . Now I focussed on "super smough" and just destroyed him. It wasn't even fair. I went in with 17 estus flasks, and had 14 left when the fight ended (only one f. keeper soul). I was wearing +1 Silver Knight armor, and the lightning attacks, even super smoughs hammer were barely hurting me. I wish I recorded both fights, because they were complete opposites. If you want a challenge, use a non-boss weapon at level~50. If you want to beat the living souls out of these two, do as I did. The people saying they're weak to fire are true. *Both* of them were destroyed with it.

    At 3:17, I can not tell you guys enough just how right he is. I went into a few boss fights before with like 10 humanity and fire or lightning power ups, and died before the boss got to even half health. By second or third time I fought the bosses, I without help from npcs or power ups, beat the bosses. Please do as he says here if you are new player such as myself.

    “If you’re at this point in the game, you know what a Silver Knight Archer is and you probably hate them”
    The Anor Londo archers are what caused my to drop my first play through of Dark Souls. Just getting back into it now. Already beat O&S and managed to get past Archers on my 3rd try, but man do they suck.

      I realised the part of the archers is actually easy to pass: just roll and roll towards then, do not try to defend with the shield. When you get to one of them, then parry their attacks and then riposte. I did this and it turned out to be so easy. You only have to be good at this parry and riposte thing. (I died like crazy before realising this)

    I know it’s goes against recommendation but I play a very balanced character and attempted magic projectiles which were either dodged or Smough would literally charge with his hammer effectively blocking my spell. After getting destroyed I switched to a bait and Slash and took out Orenstien first. This battle will test your resolve and patience especially when they coordinate their attacks.

    Let’s go baby, just beat Ornstein and Smough on my first try. That was fun, that’s what a gank fight is supposed to be like. Patience is key in this fight, I was using a black knight sword, circling around and getting in one hit at a time. I wish I would’ve killed smough first because I don’t want smough’s gear.

      If you’re stuck due to a low damage weapon, go grab the crystal halberd from one of the chests guarded by sentinels in the rooms by the first anor londo bonfire. One of them is a mimic though so be careful

    • @normalperson1259

    • @TheGhostInitiative
      @TheGhostInitiative  Před 11 měsíci

      I would definitely recommend +10. Have you been to the depths to get the large ember and given it to the blacksmith? The crystal halberd is equivalent to a +10 halberd in terms of upgrade level.

    I’ve been trying to do this with the drake sword but based on this I think it will be worth it to go and grind out some souls to get more strength. I have the black knight Greatsword. I’m at level 61 but didn’t level my strength enough to use it- because I am dumb. So anyways thanks for the video! I’m gonna have to do some farming.

    • @TheGhostInitiative
      @TheGhostInitiative  Před 3 lety +3

      The drake sword is a really strong weapon in the very beginning of the game but it falls off really hard the further you go, by anor londo I would definitely recommend using something else. That being said, the black knight weapons are incredibly strong so if you get the stats to use the greatsword and upgrade it a couple times (the giant blacksmith in anor londo sells the special titanite you need), you’re going to annihilate the boss lol

Then for super ornstein I just stayed as close as possible, taking 1 R1 attack at a time and only rolling away if he started the butt stomp attack... Before this I was staying too far away and kept getting killed by the stab and slam attack that would almost 1-shot me

  • @monthc

    Super Ornstein is deceptively easy. IMO much easier than his first phase, because he doesn't move nearly as quickly and you can neutralize virtually all of his attacks by standing between his legs.

    Right now I’m using one you get in the catacombs- I forgot it’s name. The one you find when you go into the tomb and get into the covenant. It’s only plus one and I couldn’t find a black smith in this area so thank you for that!

    I always have trouble fighting multiple bosses (Maneater, Gargoyles) but this fight took the cake, I had to retry so many times. I finally did it with lots of patience, as a Cleric with no summons
    Some tips I found were:
    using the rare blacksmith on the upper floor to boost gear past +5
    Smough is very weak to lightning damage, so buff your weapon or use lightning spears
    Don't lock-on target them, and kill Ornstein first, if you can
    use a 100% physical def shield
    upgrade your flasks, the longer the fight the better your chances
    when Smough is running towards you to swing, dodge roll into him or to his side
    circle any one pillar continuously to avoid Ornstein rush attacks
    always double dodge roll to avoid the lightning butt slam
    your video was very good!

    • @TheGhostInitiative
      @TheGhostInitiative  Před 4 lety +1

      I’m using a black knight halberd, black knight weapons are worth the stat investment to be honest. Drake sword isn’t worth using past the first couple of zones because its too hard to upgrade. It might have high base damage but upgrading a weapon that scales off of your stats will result in more damage

    • @TheGhostInitiative
      @TheGhostInitiative  Před 4 lety +3

      My weapon is definitely better but it takes some rng to get. Smough is weak to lightning in phase 1 and slightly less weak in phase 2 while ornstein resists lightning all around. They’re both weak to fire. If the lightning spear is your only choice I would focus ornstein in phase 1 to make phase 2 a lot easier. Armor is the black leather set, I never bother upgrading armor so its default. Just wear it because it’s lightweight

    • @glassbeaker-8945

    • @TheGhostInitiative
      @TheGhostInitiative  Před 4 lety +1

      Endurance just affects stamina and how much weight you can carry, more is always better but it doesn’t affect the spear directly. The lightning infusion cancels out stat scaling so your stats won’t actually affect the damage of the spear. If it wasn’t lightning infused then yes dexterity would be a good bet. Doesn’t actually matter in this case though

      You would be better off with the ring of the sun’s first born which directly boosts miracle damage.
