immediately after posting that i discovered a strategy that sort of worked, which was allowing myself the fastest possible movement by ditching all my armor

I got him down to maybe 3/4 of his health before accidentally backing him up against a wall and getting one-hit killed with his axe.

[Samus Aran]

yeah no

stay behind him lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

that's what i'm doing, but circling him is faster if i wear nothing

Down to half that time.

[Snowy]

i can now confirm with 100 percent certainty that the ornstein and smough fight is absolute horseshit

they were really hard for me the first time I played too lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

alright he's dead

man i sure do hope that's the only boss for whom it's most advantageous to fight him with no armor

[Samus Aran]

you def don't need to wear no armor. just only enough that you are still at less than 50 percent equip load

[spoiler]and you know there is havel's ring[/spoiler]

[Kalahari Inkantation]

Which I don't [glow=black,2,300]havel[/glow].

perhaps i should go back and get that

[Samus Aran]

well, you should def get it soon, as it's one of the more useful rings in the game i'd say

it's in darkroot basin

[Samus Aran]

they were really hard for me the first time I played too lol

i've died about twenty times and i give up for now

[Kalahari Inkantation]

oh wait

i do have havel's ring

lol whoopsies

[Snowy]

i've died about twenty times and i give up for now

so summon someone lol

[Samus Aran]

so summon someone lol

that would feel like cheating tbh

[Snowy]

But it didn't when you and Tec held hands all through DeS? lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

But it didn't when you and Tec held hands all through DeS? lol

that was only after we'd both beaten the game once solo lol

our demon's souls playthrough is the second for both of us

[Samus Aran]

But it didn't when you and Tec held hands all through DeS? lol

that was ng+, i'd already beaten the game by myself quite easily
