    Stuck in Anor Londo!! Empty Stuck in Anor Londo!!

    Can't beat the two bosses by myself.
    Don't have any more humanity to summon Solaire or Players to help.
    I had 1 humanity left, became human in hope to summon players to help, I couldn't find any summon signs anywhere, instead I got invaded and killed.

    Any ideas?

    At the same time I'm wondering how can a game be SO GOOD and SO BAD at the same time.

    End rant!

    Oh that boss, they're a *****. What's your build? If you have the eagle shield make sure to use it, its really good for them. Other than that just keep trying. Take out Ornstein (the gold one) first and it'll be easier. One is weak to lightning and the other fire, I cant remember which is which though.

    I would suggest leaving the bosses for now and farming human enemies to generate humanity. For ever so many 'human' enemies you kill you gain a humanity. You could go back to Sens and farm the Baldur Knights. When you have about 5 you can return.

    Im actually opposed to Doughs Idea. Super Ornstien is the easy one.

    Basically kill the big guy with a lightning weapon. he dies very quickly. Ornstien will steal his power and become a giant. Now all you have to do is stay close to his feet. The only attack he has that can hit you there is the chraged lightning rod one. When that happens roll to the side a few times. Rinse and repeat.

    Smough is so easy though, keep a pillar between you and him and attack when he finishes one. Orn moves a lot for me, requires more work.

    Hopefully you aren't bothered by posts that say how easy this bossfight is. It's notoriously difficult at first.

    One thing you may not know, Fire Keeper souls grant you 5 humanity if you use them. If you're really stuck and don't want to leave Anor Londo to farm humanity and have one, you may want to use it. You can always get more. If you don't have one you can go back to the first bonfire in Anor Londo and kill that Fire Keeper. If you do you won't be able to rest at that particular fire till NG+ though. (Use your Crest Shield if you fight her, she buffs her Estoc with the Darkmoon Blade buff.) Then you'll be able to summon help. Let us know your level and someone here may be able to help.

    Yeah, those two can banter at how OnS was... but my first encounter was like you, a very Hellish encounter. I don't know if this will help, but I remember my gear.

    Raw Serpent's Maneater Greatsword+5 with Havel's Armor. Charcoal Pine Resin that Sword and go to town on Ornstein, and deal with Smough. Ornstein has a lot of jumpy attacks that requires you to be on his crotch. Smough is just wait for him to do his charge and attack (stay between a pillar), take that cheap shot, and return back to behind a pillar.

    I hope this helps. It helped me!

    (Also, just do it as a hollow 00 humanity... if you can get human and humanity, that is fine. But don't risk losing your humanity if you don't have the skill to get to final phase or be quick enough to get your souls back)

    Oh yeah they whupped me the first time. That was tough I tend to go into boss fights once to see how then work. Then follow up with a proper attempt.

    Also I wasnt trying to be a douche about it. Thats just how I found the fight. Nito on the other hand stumped me for days though. Most people tell me he was easy..... I think not/

    At the time I was using the washing pole +11 with DMB on it so the fight was pretty easy....

    Hell Id be happy to help you out if you need it.

    Hey I never said they were easy, only super smough is (at least once you start hiding), the first part is horrible.
    Raw MSGS is not the way to go unless he has low str, a +10 weapon with a decent str should outdo it easy.

    << didn't know a damn thing about stats back then. I was stumped why the drake sword was so good and sucked later on. Stumped why I had 428AR with the Raw MSGS. NOTHING MADE SENSE. All I saw was: Heavy armor, heavy defense, and slash slash slash. It worked as a newbie. So that is what advice I am giving. An easy route into it. But yes a +10 weapon will do well, if he knows how to go to +10 with weapons. =P

    Have you tried farming the Painted Guardians, you get 1 humanity for every dozen or so you kill, and you can use Gwyndolin's bonfire for a fast run. Once you've opened the shortcut to the fog gate you can go human and run straight there without the silver nights catching you, and then hit solare's summon sign, if an invader is chasing close just run straight into the fog after you get the summoning phantom sign then run around the boss room for a little and solare will be there in no time.

    I kill smough first personally, Orn just feels more straightforward to dodge plus you get his ring.

    I got invaded non stop my first time in anor londo too, I there's nothing quite like being chased through silver knights by darkwraiths in endgame gear... sad

    Its honestly some of my funniest moments looking back though, it was the first time any invader dropped me humanity, he striped naked popped on symbol of avarice and power within then killed me with a bonewheel shield in under 60 seconds lol!
