Not gonna comment on the O&S fight itself, as it's something one needs to learn by doing. But... here are some other tips and tricks that are useful: - Greatbows are VERY situational, and very heavy. Having one equipped all the time puts you above 25% of max capacity, and puts you into mid rolling. You have a very light armor, that doesn't allow you to take a lot of hits, so fast rolling will help a lot. - Shield... The one you're using is great for stamina regen, but it only blocks 95% physical damage. 5% will leak through on every single hit. A shield that blocks 100% is highly recommended, and if you upgrade it, you will increase it's stability. Thus making it harder for enemies to break your poise. Heater shield, Spider shield and Balder shield are some of my favourites. - Invaders... If you don't want to fight the invader, just enter the boss arena. This will automatically send the invader back home. - Shortcut... Apart from the door you can open, there's also the option to run halfway up the stairs, and jump over the railing. When you beat O&S for the first time, the feeling is incredible. You'll know what I mean soon enough! 😉
Hey man! How nice to see people still playing this awesome game. Ive been playing it on and off for like 15 years now. Try and kill Ornstein first, he has less health and is easier to get one on one, he is also a bit harder to face in second stage. And make sure to use Solair, the fight becomes so much easier with a teammate :D Good luck and keep up the good work!
the room on the right after the second set of stairs is a shortcut if you can open the door run past both nights open the other door and its wayyyy quicker than running through the whole building

That was the plan, but it was easier for me to kill the other one first. Pretty challenging.
Havels ring is the goat imo just makes ds1 easier being the old style of weight capacity
I noticed you're medium rolling. I suggest trying a build that's light enough to use light rolls. I think you'll find it makes a big difference.
Don’t get hit, silly!

Geez. I suffered it…
