SL1 PLAYTROUGH.

I'm Finally doing it. Time to prepare my Scream Lungs and my Cry Eyes BECAUSE THE PAIN IS COMING...TO ME... D:

Word of advice my good man: Ornstein will cheat. He will use moves he's never done before, In ways you've never seen. He will show you the true meaning of pain. For some reason, when doing him at sl 1. The fight turns into a roller derby arena where Smough just watches as Ornstein zoom zoom zooms around your befuddled head.

I know I've already made a reference to Type-Moon regarding Ornstein, but even so, I guess we can safely assume that when facing Ornstein on an SL1 playthrough that...

..."The actual action of the thrust is merely a formality, as the lance has already pierced the opponent's heart before the attack has even started."

Ornstein Hyakuretsu-ken.
"You are already dead."

The best advice for O&S would be to stack dusk crown, RTSR, power within and BDCR, and try and 1-shot one of them with fire tempest. You'll then just have to finish off the other one with melee attacks, or, if you got super Ornstein, cheese him from befind a pillar.

Good luck. I have been doing a SL 15 run and it has been interesting, fun, but interesting. I have had to do thing very differently than my normal styles. I ended up changing armor, weapons, tactics, pretty much everything depending on what I am fighting rather than just running around with my same stuff as I would do at higher level.

Don't worry too much. It's not gonna be as bad as you think but Ornz will be a cheater indeed^^
And you better learn how to dodge Nito's ranged attacks.

Shameless selfpromoting coming through.

Dem SL 1 tips and whatnot

you will quickly find that once you get good at dodging the game isnt really any harder @ SL1. i actually think its a little easier because all your gear gets maxed out very early and before you know it you will be standing around with half a million souls on you and nothing to spend them on.

as with O&S... yea those (explitive deleted) run cheats through the roof on SL1. as many times as ive clear this game ive never had as much troubble with them as i do on when i do a low level run. S doesnt seem to be affected but O goes full retard as soon as you go through the fog.

My sl 1 playthru has caused me no end of ball ache. I got stuck in blighttown swamp. The trip from the lowest swap bonfire to power within was HARD for me. Kept getting toxic, poisened, ran out of moss, humanity everything..

Took a week break, did some high level pvp in burg/township instead.
Went back to my sl1 for the first time yesterday and was pleased i did.

Made light work of Quelaag, gaping, hydra, capra, iron golem, made it to Anor Londo late last night!.

Just need a big push now to O+S.

So what am I saying. If u need a summon at lvl 1, and you are on Xbox. Holla

Started my own sl1 play through, just opened up sens trying to do it without any help. Not been to bad so far but not looking forwad to 4 kings. Going to try them with power within but never been the best at avoiding there attacks.

For four kings, iron flesh or power within... thats is all...

Iron Flesh on SL 1?

It Should work about the same as my sl15. All my 15 had cranked up was attunement, base vitt. I would have to go back and look at the level resistance difference, but it cant be that highI got the idea from a level 5.

You will survive like what? 1, 2 attacks and then die.
You can't move with Iron Flesh on, so you can't get close and their attacks deal much more damage when you're not close to them. They also got those nasty projectile attacks.

Iron Flesh was godly before it got nerfed.

Just used it to beat them. The idea is you get right on top of the first kings and turn it on. Ill link a vid showing what a mean later.

my sl 1 o+s wasn't that bad 4 kings is trying my patients tho... ill dodge fine but dodge and rush on sl1 that's tuff for me

4 kings sl 1. *shakes head* In fact I had to abandon all my goals of getting to kaathe at level 1 ended up placing the LV with Frampt and i'm currently in the cell at the dukes archives.

I wanted to ask OP Jester how he was getting on ?

Finished two days after i started it :3 Been playing PC for a while. Need a break from Dark Souls so i don't get burned out on it, Also a reason why i've been lazy ON ZE FORUM.
