| JGarret said: Ornstein and Smough battle is just bullshit... i´m level 60, summoned Solaire, i know their weaknesses (Ornstein weak against fire, Smough against lightning) and still having trouble and on the verge of giving up. I was able to defeat every boss to this point without much trouble (Taurus, Capra, Gargoyles, Gaping Dragon, Quelaag, Iron Golem) but against those two, even summoning a NPC, I am unable :( The spike in difficulty is a bit too high for me at the moment. In case i don´t give up, any advice as to what i should do/go next if i wanna forget about fighting them for now? |
Well, unfortunately, an item that you get after defeating them sorta opens up a lot of the rest of the game.
Places you can go without defeating them (I think):
-Great Hollow/Ash Lake (not much there but it'd be a change of scenery)
-New Londo Ruins and the 4 kings (I think you can do this without the lord vessel right, but this area is tougher and the boss is tougher than Ornstein and Smough).
-Painted World (though you can't exit this area until you finish it though you don't have to beat the boss to finish it, just gotta make it to then end)
Advice on beating them:
-Grind for a bit, gain a few levels
-Perhaps try different armor
-Perhaps try different weapons
-Upgrade weapons and armor
-Summon online players instead of just Solitaire
-Be better at fighting them ( keep Smough at a distance so that Ornstein always does his lance dash type attack and them attack him, Smough will basically not touch you if you do this right .)
-Kindle the bonfire closest to them to get more estus flasks
In my opinion, I had more difficulty on the 4 kings and the iron golem than I did on O & S. Granted, my iron golem fight still had the giant hurling fire at me....but I didn't think they were that tough.
