fuck these assholes

[fallbacktostone]

so i gather at least to not fight them together and try singling them out right? so far its a little easier to isolate the skinny one. i like when i turn my back to him for one second and he closes the distance of the entire room and rapes me..

[riley-o]

do you have pyromancy ?

[fallbacktostone]

yeah +12. combustion right this second. i have some other stuff though. it's been awhile since i've played. do i need ranged?

[fallbacktostone]

i guess i'll try a little mix of both

[riley-o]

for me the best strategy was to create a lot of distance, let ornstein zip in with an attack that you either block or dodge, then hit him with as heavy of a fireball as you have. if you have the great fireball or great chaos fireball it shouldn't take more than a few of those to kill one of them. try to keep the pillars in between you and them, especially any time you need to estus. i think anything ranged you don't really have time to use.

[fallbacktostone]

yeah great chaos fireball rapes. this should work.

[spacehamster]

You definitely want to kill Ornstein first.

[riley-o]

you have to kill each of them first eventually if you're going to do the man thing

[fallbacktostone]

damn. i stopped for a little while but my friend was texting me swearing up and down to kill the fat one first.

this is such an absolute bitch of a fight to have to do after not playing the game for a couple months. i havent even re-acclimated to the flow and controls. i'm still in bf3 mode.

You can summon that sun knight guy to provide a distraction for 30 seconds or so. Helps big time.

Minor spoiler in case you really don't want to know anything...

After you kill one, the second one transforms, getting bigger and considerably more powerful. When I killed Smough first, I had two other players with me and we still had a hard time putting Hulkmode Ornstein away.

And I've said it here a couple times, but I'll gladly say it again - I've yet to kill those two fuckers on my own. It's an absolute bitch of a bossfight.

[fallbacktostone]

why can't we all just jump in on this together like bros

[riley-o]

it's the biggest flaw in these games that you can't play online with friends. i've heard some wishy-washy defences of it but nothing at all worth even considering

[Geeheeb]

what if have no friends riles?

[fallbacktostone]

ok so say i kill ornstein first but i put a hurting on fuckface before he transforms so that i'm ready when the big poof up happens. does the damage carry over or is it one of those things where the health bar takes up the whole screen and fills up again?

[riley-o]

you can still have random match-ups for fuck-ups who can't even make online friends

[fallbacktostone]

alright alright i mean i wasn't dying or anything. i was just using estus too much

[Blair]

Got distracted by the scenery, eh?

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

It pissed me off whenever I let one of those crackerjacks ding me after I read them.

[fallbacktostone]
