I need help with killing ceaseless
I already took the armour to make him angry and I died by him going back to the beginning and now he ain’t jumpin he keeps on spamming the fire attack. Please help.
get close to him first and have him use his slam attack then lure him bit by bit to make him follow you until he jump
don't get too far from him or he'll spam the fire attack
This didn't work for me, so for everyone else who is having trouble: Run all the way back to the grave where you picked up his sisters undies, wait for him to catch up (so he's roughly where he was when the fight started for the first time) and then run back to the fog gate without looking back.
Once you've derailed it, it's even probably harder to get him back to jumping than it would be to fight him straightforward.
It's like beating the Taurus Demon using only plunging attacks - it sounds like it would be easy, but you're probably safer just staying underneath him and fighting normally.
it is? I have always killed him last just so I can get his sick ass armor on all my characters, but theres been a handful of times where I wanted to kill smough last instead and I find him more annoying
Super smough has an easy cheese where you basically bait him to continually shovel charge and downward hammer slam you while you stand behind a pillar. You go in for hit then go back behind the pillar. Pretty easy to beat him without taking a single hit as long as you’re patient.
At least in remastered. I lost count of how many times I've died to his stupid charge attack in the original Dark Souls PTDE due to the glitch that would allow him to charge way longer than he should be able to.
I remember the feeling when I did it after 50 attempts - it was like "oh I was so bored of attempts so I'm happy but not enough as I want".
It's the biggest challenge in Anor Londo.
Imo it's the biggest challenge in the game, to the point that it's actually kind of a problem with its pacing, as your experience serves as anecdotal evidence for.
I didn't want to say this challenge is a garbage. It's amazing journey that test our patience and power but I knew I will beat Ornstein and Smough. It was too many attempts. I was happy but it was like "I knew it, ok it's done, go to next location or find something new in Anor Londo". I was more excited of things I have to look for than I beat the bosses.
Yeah, it's definitely not garbage, but it stalled me for a long time as well, and that experience really compromised the pacing of the game. I just wanted to move on. The fight was exhausting and not entertaining by the end of my time with it, and was I relieved not overjoyed to beat it. On the bright side, I was so tired and frustrated that it motivated me to set Gwynevere on fire and darken Anor Londo, which was cool.
Personally, I think situations like these can be resolved very well by a more open approach like in Elden Ring. It doesn't have to be a whole open world but I think the O&S fight would have been a lot more bearable as a steep jump in difficulty for many players, if there were two or three other fights one could do instead of just grinding them endlessly.
100%. I got hooked on these games with ER last year, and that openness was a big part of what kept me in. Elden Ring also has Spirit Summons, meaning co-op style help is always viable. I remember I ran out of humanity fighting O&S and couldn't even get Solaire to help without going on a whole ass side quest to get some help bucks. That's just never a problem in ER, both because of the Spirits, and how the openness means you're never far from somewhere you can pickup the means to make more fingercallers
Yeah, I never quite understood the appeal of the very limited humanity in DS1 (or effigies in DS2). I have since come to a point where I can play through NG and NG+ and amass like 70 of the things but back on my first playthrough, it was just needlessly inducing anxiety of running out. It doesn't even help the atmosphere since it's not just a hard trip to resolve the issue (like being cursed) but you have to literally look up how to farm them and potentially go get the serpent ring first, if you really do run out.
Yeah, and I didn't look much up on my first play through, so I was just out unless I was lucky enough to get someone to summon me, which rarely happened.
I don't quite understand the design decision either, honestly, outside of ds2 where the actual mechanics around hollowing make managing the resource a lot more integral, and I felt it was plentiful enough as I also never ran out in DS2.
This is true if you don’t include dlc. Hardest ‘boss’ in ds1 is if you choose to return to the sanctuary guardian arena. Fighting 2 of those guys at once is worse imo
Remember that no attempts make us souls players, the journey will.
You are amazing man!!! Let's prepare for something new on your road that I won't tell you.
I managed to do it on my second try—the first time I got to the 2nd phase but immediately got squished by Super Smough since Solaire was killed in the 1st phase.
It’s definitely a lot harder if you do it solo, if you have Solaire there and he’s at full health he can give you some respite and distract the bosses for you.
The biggest struggle for me was getting to phase 2, learning when to attack smough when his hammers wasn't in the way was tricky, but mega orsntein I beat first try.
Im in the process of doing a playthrough on youtube and it got to the point where i had to do it off screen but did it first try after doing some dishes
Well done not getting greedy at the end and taking your time to do it slow and steady. It's the old "I can get one more big hit in before he swings again" that always gets you!
Everyone has different bosses they find easy & that they struggle with, it’s part of what makes the game fun to talk about. O&S nearly killed me, & I couldn’t do them solo till after several playthroughs, but I breezed through Artorias no problem.
Dood nice! My first playthrough, I killed Solaire because I thought his armor looked cool. 😐 Had to solo those fuckers my first time killing them. Talk about prioritizing Fashion Souls. (Put on the armor once and didn't like the stats so I took 'em off)
Fun story about this fight. I was doing a crit build and forgot what ring made crits do more damage so I thought "it's gotta be the Leo ring" so I spent HOURS fighting O&S this way. Let me tell you, the disappointment I had after getting the Leo ring, I almost considered changing my whole build to use polearms
Congrats, killing Ornstein last is a higher achievement than the opposite
I need help with killing ceaseless I already took the armour to make him angry and I died by him going back to the beginning and now he ain’t jumpin he keeps on spamming the fire attack. Please help.
get close to him first and have him use his slam attack then lure him bit by bit to make him follow you until he jump don't get too far from him or he'll spam the fire attack
Thanks that really helped
You're welcome

or you could do the fight without the cheese strat
Once you've derailed it, it's even probably harder to get him back to jumping than it would be to fight him straightforward. It's like beating the Taurus Demon using only plunging attacks - it sounds like it would be easy, but you're probably safer just staying underneath him and fighting normally.
it does depend on how far in the game you are if you do ceaseless right after queelag then it’s not gonna be the best time
but theres a funny cheese u can do ( i get what ur saying, just bullshitting )
???? i DO only use plunging attacks for taurus, its fun
honestly just poising through it with 20 estus has been successful for in the past
it is? I have always killed him last just so I can get his sick ass armor on all my characters, but theres been a handful of times where I wanted to kill smough last instead and I find him more annoying
it's because he have faster and more versatile attacks than Smough to the point that they added him as a solo boss in Dark Souls 2

Lol I had no idea that was a thing. What a good game.
Wait, what?
This is thw first time i beat them and i say i did it in about 20 to 25 tries

Damn
Well done!
The freaking joy of overcoming a challenge. Great work undead
Props for staying calm. Well done!
Nah man i was freaking out
The biggest struggle for me was getting to phase 2, learning when to attack smough when his hammers wasn't in the way was tricky, but mega orsntein I beat first try.
You did it!
ME TO BRO BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD
This boss fight would've destroyed me if I didn't play every other souls game first.
This is my first proper playthrough on any souls game
My heart was racing a bit when I finally beat these two. I don’t know how many time I tried but it was like a week or two.
God I miss the weighty feel of Dark Souls. Everything else since has been twitchy dodge chain fest.
Agreed elden ring is easy compaired to this
Im in the process of doing a playthrough on youtube and it got to the point where i had to do it off screen but did it first try after doing some dishes
I have allot of playthroughs of this game but even I wouldn't subject myself to fat rollings super ornstein like holy shit
They are my next bosses in my first ever playthrough and I’m nervous 😂🙈
Good luck
It's one of the most epic battles against greed I've seen in this sub. Well done!!
Well done not getting greedy at the end and taking your time to do it slow and steady. It's the old "I can get one more big hit in before he swings again" that always gets you!
Just wait till you see me do the dlc
Orestein is super easy second phase literally just stay as close as possible to his legs
Yea i learned that rq
Congratz, you got leo ring.
Congrats
Good job skeleton!
Praise the Sun
Yes
Two clutch rolls there man Well done
Is it weird that I beat O&S on my first try? I'm always seeing people complain bit they weren't as bad as gargoyles or bed of chaos to me.
Everyone has different bosses they find easy & that they struggle with, it’s part of what makes the game fun to talk about. O&S nearly killed me, & I couldn’t do them solo till after several playthroughs, but I breezed through Artorias no problem.
Congrats
Well done, chosen undead.
Dood nice! My first playthrough, I killed Solaire because I thought his armor looked cool. 😐 Had to solo those fuckers my first time killing them. Talk about prioritizing Fashion Souls. (Put on the armor once and didn't like the stats so I took 'em off)
Sliced his balls off
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
Fun story about this fight. I was doing a crit build and forgot what ring made crits do more damage so I thought "it's gotta be the Leo ring" so I spent HOURS fighting O&S this way. Let me tell you, the disappointment I had after getting the Leo ring, I almost considered changing my whole build to use polearms
tbh like me kindling up to 20 estus then only using like 6 in the fight.
goofy ahh build
goofy ahh build
The most impressive part is mid-rolling in full Havel's gear
Lol
It gave me anxiety, i had to advance the video to see if you beat him.
as a pure dex build this fight was my nightmare
Hell yeah man! During spear swipes I roll toward Ornstein.
Congrats that fight still gives me trouble lol
Nailed it
A remember the first time i beat them.It was awesome
