I call it Smow

Like you Smow the lawn

iirc this is how it's pronounced in the Japanese, and is a supposed to sound similar to "sumo" because he's so fat.

Congrats! Ornstein and Smough are definitely up in the top 3 hardest boss fights in the game. What level were you when you beat them and how many tries did it take?

My SL was in the low 50s.

I counted all my recordings, and it turns out that it took me exactly 28 tries. Significantly less than I thought, but still the most troublesome boss I've dealt with thus far.

For comparison's sake:

Asylum Demon: 1
Taurus Demon: 2
Bell Gargoyles: 5-8 (basically null & void, as I used Solaire)
Capra Demon: 3-5
Gaping Dragon: 3-5
Chaos Witch Quelaag: 2-3
Moonlight Butterfly: 1
Iron Golem: 3-5

So, yeah, bit of a spike there. Thankfully, the Duke's Archives segment was exceedingly short, so I'll probably have another boss video up this week.

I usually use the other bonfire when running to the boss

tfw O&S made you drop the game for like 2 weeks.

tfw you finally gave in and had to use Solaire

tfw took me like 2 years to beat them solo

What finally clicked? What strategy did you end up using?

Verb should do LPs.

Yeah, I've dabbled in LP a few years ago. Trouble is, I can barely keep a tight schedule. Otherwise I'd be on top of that.

OH GOD, HOW DID I FORGET TO BRING THIS UP!?

This happened to me. A lot.

Okay, like three or four times--but way more than necessary. That's something they should've fixed, I think.

O&S is such a meh part of the game without friends

Verb you antisemite, why does Ornstien have to echo like that?

some poophead took it upon himself to dislike all of my videos lol

"This bonfire is cut off from the others. Cannot warp."

uh-oh

Tomb of Giants when?

I actually got into Dark Souls over the summer. The first time I played through the game, I was getting destroyed. Every boss annihilated me numerous times before I eventually triumphed over them. After beating the game, I can just about nuke every boss on my first attempt.

Anyway, enough about me. Congratulations on defeating Ornstein and Smough, that was undoubtedly the hardest boss fight for me.

Is there a way for me to slide down ladders like I see enemies do? I haven't been able to figure it out.

It's either holding or tapping the sprint button once, they changed it from 1 to 2 and I forget which one has which, I think it's tap in 1 though.

Using xbox controller? I think it's holding "B". Maybe also holding down on left stick.

I'm on PS3, but holding the equivalent button worked. Thanks, that's been bugging me for months.

Fortunately, it hasn't taken too long to get my bearings--this game is like riding a bike.
