Anor Londo Silver Knight Spawncamping?
Two silver knights at the anor londo bonfire that go down the stairs. sure one of them descends a few second before the other, but in the end both of them are aggro'd and I have to fight two at once. Its really annoying. Is there any way to pull only one of them at a time?

You can use any kind of projectile to draw the first one, and that gives you time to hopefully defeat it before the second gets you in its aggro range. A bow is nice, but any number of things would work. If you take your fight with the first one past the bonfire far enough the second won't even aggro onto you, which is useful if you are not confident you can kill it quickly.

Draw them back toward the elevator theres an invisible wall they cant cross, you can cheese them from there.

Easiest method

Get a big sword (I use FUGS)
Get the first one to charge you
Run back to dodge it
Smash the everloving ♥♥♥♥ out of him
Get ready for the next knight

parry the spear variant first......

Stand about 2/3 of the way up the stairs. The spear knight will see you first and do the lightning charge, which sends him further down the stairs. That'll give you enough time to backstab it to death before the sword knight decides to join in.

Just use heavy weapons on 'em. They'll get stunlocked, so you can fight it and kill it long before the second one comes around.

As someone who has farmed these guys for literally 5 hours to get 30 proofs, just use anything that's a Greatsword or heavier, and wail on 'em. Most good, upgraded weapons can kill them in 3 or 4 hits.

cant. they both are walking down the stairs. as I arrow one, the other is still walking toward you. the best that does is buy you about 3 or 4 seconds.

If only I could somehow parry the spear dude.

This so far has been the best method, but I still cant kill him before the sword dude gets down here. I wind up burning like 3 estus before I get to aldritch's room, I want to get to his room with all my estus though, but these guys are super close to the bonfire.

If I remeber correctly, you need to finish the first guy very quickly then deal with the second. The trick is in using a weapon art than can break the guard so you dont waste you time.

You can parry the spear knight pretty easily during his long range dash wind up but it may take some practice, luckily its right next to a bonfire. ;p

I second the method suggested by Skeleton and since you have had some success with that suggest you continue that method. When he charges down the stairs move as far back to the edge where the elevator would connect to as possible and just keep dodging if you do not kill the spear knight before the other reaches bottom. He will not walk close enough to the edge so long as you remain relatively close that that area and will turn around to return up the stairs leaving you to finish the spear knight. If you get confident enough about handling the spear knight 1v1 you can keep fighting instead of dodging near the ledge while using this method. You can also use Hidden Body + Dragoncrest Ring to make it very easy to fight them while invisible without aggroing the other. Use Scholar Ring if you need more Int, and use the Bellowing ring or w/e to boost duration if you need.

It's much easier to just backstab the first one twice. He charges at you, you dodge to the side and a little bit behind him, simply walk behind and backstab him. Then do a follow up with slightly charged R2 when he get's up. Then circle behind him when he attacks. Backstab again. Whatever weapon you use he's dead after that.

I actually had the other silver knight follow me right to the ledge though. He chased me all the way back to the lift. I had also activated it previously, because it let me dance around the center, and occasionally one of them would fall onto the stairs.

He only chases if you gain aggro in the first place. If you use the charge lure method to pull the other one away first then move to the ledge then the sword wielding knight will only walk to the base of the stairs and turn around for his normal route thus never getting close enough to gain aggro at all. In order to make this work you must pull the spear knight away and the method you used/as suggested earlier is ideal for this.

Ima call BS and say cute story.

The silver knights will not follow you onto the elevator, they can't. I've tried, they get stuck at an invisible wall just before the elevator platform. Hence my previous suggestion...
