      When the side swing comes as part of a combo attack like it did there, I think that's when it can still hit you

      Actually, you are incorrect. Dark Souls is set in a kind of late-medieval period, depending on the area; the architecture varies. In particularly you'll note that Anor Londo features gothic structures typical of european constructions of around the 1300-1400 period. You'll note that most of the buildings in Anor Londo include flying buttresses to transfer the load outward, allowing to larger interiors. Although they obviously have access to steel, I doubt that steel-reinforced concrete was used; you can see most of the structural materials are stone slabs. For such a large interior (even with flying buttresses) you would definitely still need internal supports. I don't think these pillars are vaulted, which means this structure would not actually be possible with their materials. If the pillars were vaulted, then the destruction of even one of them would most likely result in (at least partial) collapse of the building.
      As a structural engineer I've analysed much of the buildings in Dark Souls and most of the buildings in Anor Londo must be held together with "magic". In particular the building with the 'Painted World' would be highly problematic.

    • @aaron4820
      @aaron4820 8 років тому +102

      Torgo That was a really interesting response, thank you for that. I was making a joke from the fact that every single pillar was destroyed by the fat one and the building was still standing, therefore it's safe to conclude that they were redundant in the first place.

    • @torgo_
      @torgo_ 8 років тому +50

      +aaron4820
      Haha, yeah I know. It's just interesting to analyse these structures anyway. In fact many people believe that Anor Londo itself is just a "dream" of the player character, especially if you notice how when you kill enemies they disappear mysteriously (instead of turning into ragdolls).
      When you take things into account (like the corkscrew elevators, etc.) It's apparent that you're right, the whole place is held together with magic glue so the columns must be purely aesthetic.

    • @BanAaron
      @BanAaron 8 років тому +10

      +Torgo the theory that I came up with was that Gwyndolin is using his magic to create all the enemies in the area. We know that he was creating an illusion of Gywnevere and also creating a false sun in the area. Also if you kill Gwyndolin all of the enemies except the painted guardians no longer spawn, presumably because he cannot create them any more being dead and all.
      With this in mind it is easy to come to the conclusion that Gwyndolin is magically creating all of the enemies and even the bosses, explaining why there bodies kind of fizzle away on death instead of rag-dolling.
      Also Anor Londo was created by shape shifting gods who could change size at will so magic seems to be the answer to how they do most of their amazing shit :)

    Solaire is really something else.
    Fights the two giant sentinels taking off half his health, then dies immediately to Ornstein.

      Solutions: get the light and stable balder shield from the merchant in sens fortress. Upgrade it to +5 and you're good to go. And kill the sentinels before you summon solaire. This may take some practice, but you'll get there.

  • @tankofun
    @tankofun 5 років тому +24

    Easy solo strategy (no NPC):
    Phase one:
    1.) Line them both up. Keep walking backwards, around the entire arena nonstop, making them chase you. While doing so, you want the fatty to be infront of the other guy. The fatty is going to block his attacks for you.
    2.) You can dodge all attacks of the fatty by simply walking backwards and if you are insecure, you can roll once or twice backwards.
    3.) Whenever he does an attack, punish him. I suggest a long-reaching weapon, like the halberd. Just do a R1 attack and back off.
    Rinse and repeat until phase one is over.
    If you execute these steps properly, you should not lose any HP. The only problem arises when the thin guy dashes through and you have your camera locked onto the fatty. So he gets out of vision, potentially positioning himself behind you and ram you.
    First of all, you should prevent that situation from ever happening. But if it does happen, here is what you do: Unlock the cam or focus the thing guy to hold your shield up against him. Then try to run behind the fatty.
    Phase two:
    This is basically just like phase one, except without step 1.
    Kite / run backwards, use lightning resistant armor and shield. You should lose HP very minimally.
    Dodge his charges sideways. Do not be too close to him, he can electrically charge and impale you with his spear, doing 50% hp dmg or more.
    And even if that somehow happens, you still got ample tie to pop a pot. The AI is not quick enough to punish you, so you can >always< recover from that as long as you spam that while standing up.
    Perhaps one tip: If you can manage it, make him charge at a pillar. So when you predict that he is gonna charge, position yourself behind a pilar. That usually stops him. And then punish him immediately in return, do NOT be greedy - step in, 1 slap, step out.
    Even if you are 100% hp and he is 5% hp, don't. Shit can go really wrong! Trust me!

      Mantis Okay, now see... that is actually a good reason to have a problem with this strategy. I hate when people say they have no humanity. Humanity is a huge mechanic of the game... go get it.
      But my guides are not the "This is the definite way to win" guide. There are dozens of different ways to beat each boss in this game and I can't make a video for every variation or every person's personal situation. My guides are about the simplest strategy in combination with the most commonly used play-style -- sword and shield.
      Here's the how to beat every boss super easy mode: Make a Mage character with Crystal Soul Spear... kill nearly every boss with two shots.

      TerraMantis Getting humanity is easy, but staying unhollowed long enough to kill the two royal sentinels is just downright impossible, at least on PC. You have maybe 60 seconds top to live once you reverse hollowing, until a high level player shows up to kill you. If you happen to be wearing the silver knight gear, you're probably not going to win in PvP. I tried summoning without killing the sentinels, but the phantom didn't join me for the boss fight.

After I was in human-form, I went to the summon location and there was no summon sign there. I did some research, and... yeah. I killed my summon and realized the mistake I made. I face-palmed very hard.

      That is after O&S ran a train on your ass.
      Just joking ofc. I started my first serious Ds1 game after I played Elden Ring. I was having a real hard time with the difficulty curve and just how the game mechanics worked in general. I also kept starting a game while a little tipsy, so it was MORE difficult, and when I would return to the game I'd have no damned idea what I was doing....
      Anyway, long story short, I'm finally enjoying the masochist journey of Dark Souls, and I just got to Ornstein and Smough. Only a few tries in so far, but I wanted to watch gameplay and see if it was worth getting humanity to summon. Which I think I want to do now. Also I found out there's a boss you should kill before O&S if you want his armor set.
      Play on, I'm loving this shit myself.

      True enough, quelaag's furysword is powerful, but it's also rather easy to obtain when you're this far into the game. You already have her soul after you killed her in blighttown, so all you need is a +10 curved sword and 5k souls, both of which are easy to grind up when you're in anor londo / sen's fortress. If you haven't spent your demon titanite on anything thus far you'll also be able to up it to +5 immediately when you get it.

    EDIT. OK so now I have 150+ hours on this game and I think I know why this happens, if you're new in this game read this:
    This guys dodges the attacks relatively easy because he's using a medium armor, if you use a heavy armor you character will be HEAVIER and SLOWER and the attacks will be harder to dodge.

  •  9 років тому +10

    Just killed them after a bunch of tries, 6 or 7. I highly recommend to finish secondary worlds/bosses before going through this fight (i.e. Painted World of Ariamis and Northern Undead Asylym). With a Black Knight Sword +1 TWO HANDED and 10 or 8 Estus should be enough. It's important to dash through the enemies before the fight from the respawn of Anor Londo's bonfire. A tip for Smough: when he runs to you with the hammer pointing forward, just run against him and dash forward as well, you'll dash the attack and gain almost 2 seconds to damage him a bit. But be careful and sure that Orstein is not preparing an attack at the same time!
    PS: If you find these ones difficult, prepare for the 'next round' because it's a fucking nightmare.

    How do you define "easy"? An easy boss would be one most players can beat on their first try without reading or watching a guide first. If "easy" means finding a weapon that exploits their weakness, using an armor set that resists their attacks and studying their moves to dodge them, then the whole game is easy. I'm not saying the game should be easier. I'm fine with the difficulty. But it doesn't help anyone to call something it isn't.

      Use the next best Lighting resist stats. Leather Chest, Hard Leather Gloves and black leather Trousers are all easy to obtain, fairly light and have okay resistance to lightning. If you've allowed the Firelink keeper to be killed by Lautrec then her 'Blood Stained Skirt' has the best magical and lightning resist in the game for leg armor, so use that if you can.

      Jeffear Cowardly The next best gear for lightning is wanderer set located in Blight-town and the Thunder Stoneplate ring whihc you can buy from the crestfallen merchant in Sen's fortress.
      Alternatively you could just face Ornstein and Smough using whatever gear you've got and try to dodge more frequently or use online co-op.

    @carloscontreras8431 9 років тому +118

    Why do this videos show players with weapons doing 600-800 damage or summoning other players of "how to beat a boss" instead if using an unenchanted weapon with alright armor and a weapon that deals a fair amount of damage, thus creating an actual challenge. I want to see a true melee only character beating this game, from what I've seen most people stick to Mage classes or warrior Mage mixes, more towards the Mage, my point is is that I think most people posting how to videos on dark souls don't have any actual skills except the skill of either grinding out souls on Mage skills or looking for enchanted weapons, it makes these how to videos pointless.

    • @SimplyMavAgain
      @SimplyMavAgain 9 років тому +3

      Carlos Contreras I never really used magic in videogames. And I probably won't do in Dark Souls. At least I didn't use it so far. But the point of this video is to show an EASY way on how to kill them so it makes sense that he shows what you need to make this fight easy. I mean I didn't have any of that stuff and even used a halberd imbued with lightning for this fight and it wasn't that easy at all. In fact it still isn't. :D I've tried countless times. Got onehittet by that lightning slam countless times and never won that fight. So fighting without pyromancy or some fire weapons and without an armor that protects you from lightning makes that fight... well, not quite easy. :D
      Though I've almost beaten him once without any of that stuff. But suddenly my controller started playing with me and pressed some random buttons on the D-Pad.
      Instead of healing I was reducing my non existent poisoning and instead of fighting with my halberd I fought with Astora's straight sword, :DD

    • @carloscontreras8431
      @carloscontreras8431 9 років тому +1

      Haha I beat these two with a black knight halberd and wanderer clothing on, I seriously didn't find armor that useful in this game. It's weird though, when I started playing dark souls I thought of building a warrior tank because, it's always right to fall back to a melee class. Anyways I always liked getting the better armor in the game until I noticed that it slows me down more than I wanted to. So basically I found my "niche" in this game by creating a character with basically the lightest clothing(I don't even think wanderer clothing is even armor at all) I prefer to move fast and deal tons of damage. I don't think I'll ever use armor no matter how high my equip load is.

    • @carloscontreras8431
      @carloscontreras8431 9 років тому

      By the way, the only game I ever played where magic was actually useful was Skyrim. Mostly due to the fact that magic actually scales with the more you use it, it created an incentive to level up magic. Usually you would see the Mage character as very weak but if you focused on magic in elder scrolls you would pretty much become god like if all you used was magic.

      Good luck. In my opinion ornstein and smough are the hardest boss encounter in any souls game. The maneaters in demons souls and smelter demon in dark souls 2 are also challenging. The thing about smough is he keeps reminding you that hes alot faster then one would assume, lol. The you got ornstein with his dashing spear thrust. In this fight i also keep doing laps around the arena, while i try to isolate one of them.

    I hate this fight, in fact, this part is the thing I hate the most from every single freaking video game I've played. By the time I got a clue on how to beat them, I had wasted my oportunities with the crystal halberd, made a wrong build and had no humanity left. On top of that, I could've easily created Quelag's fury blade if only I knew it would help me so much. After wasting so much time I'm starting to doubt if there is a point to continue on.
    The other annoying things about the game, are that you can't travel between bonfires (before you beat O and S) to easily farm humanity (or for other purposes) and you can't F UPGRADE YOUR WEAPONS AT ONE VENDOR only. Why do I have to travel back trough sen's fortress, so that my +5 weapon can ascend to a +6 weapon??? Why do I have to search for another f vendor deep in one of the most frustrating areas, just so he can upgrade my weapon to fire ? This isn't making the game any harder, it just makes it cheap and infuriating!!!! Look at bloodborne. All of the above mentioned negatives are fixed and the game is still hard and fun.

      +noah Charles yeah and lightning resistance gear right lol i did this boss on the second try with total noob gear im proud of myself finished all souls series and bloodborne in a high speed tempo but DS1 is way harder for me dno why xd

      spacekees102 allot of people do not understand that lightning resistance gear does not protect you from omega ornstine & smough at close range i even used the havel rock gear & got better results because it protects against physical attacks as well as lightning but i got owned when using the silver knight gear because it protects from lightining but not so well from physical attacks.
      also all stabbing weapons are useless against titan sized opponents like omega ornstine & smough because you keep missing

      noah Charles true man and ranged also seems a good tactic for this boss to get some extra damage done

      spacekees102 with quick ranged attacks smough is a cake walk but you will have to keep a distance & time your attacks carefully but ornstine isnt so easy on ng+ he is more dangerous at long ranges & can still dash toward you

    Took me a *few* tries. But I finally did it.
    I just kindled the bonfire twice to give me twenty estus flasks. I made it to the summoning sign with only a small amount of damage from those royal knights. Nineteen flasks at my disposal for the main event. I also have enough stamina for the stone armor. Conveniently, it reduces lightning damage even more than the silver set. I also had the ring you get from the merchant in Sen's fortress. I *might* have forgotten to equip that ring before the fight began. I hadn't thought about it until I was fighting Smough 1v1. Also I had to change weapons while trying to keep my distance. It was a cluster and a half. Eighteen flasks used, but I managed to defeat him. My hands were shaking for like three minutes afterwards.

    I'm just trying to tank this fight with Havel's armor and a Black Knight Halberd. I don't have enough strength though and have to give up use of my shield. I can get one down at a time but their combinations are pretty tough.
