Tips for Ornstein and Smough

[Stray]

Like it says, i need some tips, maybe like a pattern to go by.
Right now my guy is on the heavy side so i have a med. roll and my best weapon is a Zweihander+3 with lightining

If you have the time and patience I suggest getting another weapon to use against Ornstein as he is very resistant to lightning damage, just plain normal or fire is good against Ornstein.

Other than that I suggest going after Ornstein first seeing as you are slower and your weapon is lightning. He would be a bigger pain in Phase 2 than Smough with what you have imo.

Try to keep both of them in your sight. If you are going for Ornstein first try to bait Smough into attacking and attack Ornstein when Smough is recovering from his attacks. If you two-hand the zwei it should stagger Ornstein in two hits so you can roll away without fear of him attacking you back.

Other than that I don't really have much advice than use the pillars.

I guess keeping them seperated is the biggest thing. Maybe try to get smough stuck on a pillar while you kill ornstein. If you stay in one place for too long your bound to get stuck between the two of them. It's probably easier to kill ornstein first since he's much faster than snough so you can get him by himself with much less effort. In my opinion super smough is far harder to fight than ornstein due to his enourmous hit box so i guess it's a matter of preference.

Okay i will try to get Ornstein first.
Also what do you mean by phase 2?

he means spoilers he should not say, but if you have pyromancy orno-kun is very weak to it, it works wonders.

General tip in phase 1: Keep them seperated. Whoever you want to kill first stays in front to block the 2nd's path. Use pillars to your advantage.
Since you're medium rolling, you'll need a shield with high stability for smough and high lightning block for ornstein. Go silver knight, eagle, or giant. Like what other said, lightning won't do good against Ornstein. For a quick fire weapon, use Qulaag's soul for a furysword. Maxed out with 10 humanities and it'll make quick work of those two. Your zwei can stagger them. I think it's 1 hit to stagger Ornstein 2H and 2 hits for Smough.

phase 2: Giant Ornstein: stay under him at all costs. Only attack after he attacks. Keep up your shield at all times since he might do a jump back attack. If he charges his spear, roll towards him to avoid getting stabbed. For stomp, move away and block electricity emitted from stomp. Medium rollers can't avoid the electricity. Lightning Smough: general Smough strategy except with lightning stomp and all attacks now do lightning damage. Kill giant Ornstein for access to his armor and leo ring. Lightning Smough gives access to his armor
