So i'm playing Dark souls and I finally got to "Anor londo" (i think) and i'm about to fight Smough and Ornstein. Any tips for fighting them? I've heard that getting rid of Ornstein first makes it easier.

The more I say Chang the more asian it sounds.

I used the crystal ring shield along with the lighting spear to take 'em both down. It'll take quite an awful lot of tries before you finally get them.

This is by far the hardest boss fight I've played in Dark Souls, even on the second run.

Killing Ornstein first is easier, but it also depends on which demon soul you want. To get Ornstein's, you have to kill Smough first, and vice-versa.

IIRC, they were both weak to fire, so if you have any pyromancy that will help a lot. Otherwise, just strafe and roll a lot and use the pillars around the room to split them up. Summoning a phantom can help.

You can summon Solaire for this fight. His sign is in the big room on the stairwell with the knight archer.

I'm in the Great Chaos Covy so I guess that should help me out a bit!

Yeah it's the only part of the game I ever summoned for.

It makes it a lot simpler to have one person draw the attention away from one of them so you can focus on the other. Split up, the two of them are really easy.

I took down Smough first, and killed giant Ornstein after a few tries. My advice would be to use Pyromancy if you have it, and wear light armour so you can roll easily.

I always killed Orstein first. He seems to be easier, so go for him first.

Other than that, summon Solaire, DON'T HAVE YOUR BURDEN OVER 50% (I only bet them once I realised moving fast helps a lot), and just take it carefully; time when you'll strike Smough and get used to dodging each of his attacks. You'll likely die a few times, so be prepared for that.

Also, any fire damaging weapon helps as Orstein has fire-weakness which Smough inherits after he absorbs him.
