I BEAT ORENSTEIN AND SMOUGH

Posted: 27 Sep 2019 10:03 PM PDT

holy shit I'm still shaking, I've been trying for three weeks and I finally had an evening to sit down and play Dark Souls and I did it!

I killed Smough first because I just couldn't deal with his charge attack, and staying close to him prevented him from doing it, so I was able to get hits on him as long as I was aware of Orenstein poking through him. I started to get consistent, but things just weren't working with Big Orenstein, he just did so much damage and his patterns were unpredictable. I'm really good at focusing for short periods but for longer things I often lose my edge, and the fight was taking so long each time that I could keep my moment.

I stopped running it down mid and started experimenting with Power Within, and decided I would use it for the second phase, just foregoing healing to keep the pressure on. Holy shit guys I almost died from the health drain, but I was able to rush him down and not get hit.

I learned so much from this fight, about the game and myself. It's not about going off and just getting everything done at once, there's really no substitute for sitting down and just learning how to do something over a longer period of time.

Anyway I don't know if I'm making sense, but nobody I know plays DS, and I had to share it somewhere. I'm gonna go out and get ice cream tonight!

Thanks everybody for the help on my original post, which inspired me to just grind away and get it done.

Praise the sun!

Lost Izalith shortcut?

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 03:11 AM PDT

I'm at Gwyn atm and wanted to make sure to do everything I can before hitting NG+. Sadly Solaire is already dead, but I still wanted to open up the Lost Izalith shortcut. I've fed 30 humanity to the fair lady and gained the +2 rank in the chaos servants covenant.

I read that if I abandon the covenant through any means other than the bonfire, the humanity I've donated will be halved. Since I'd like to go out and get the other covenant rewards and am yet to join the forest hunter's covenant for the first time, I have a few questions:

Do I need to go there and press a button or something to activate the shortcut to open it, or is it automatically open after you donate the 30 humanity, with no further actions required? I'm at Alvina right now and have donated the 30 humanity but haven't used the shortcut yet. Will I mess it up if I abandon the chaos servants for the forest hunters now?
If I abandon the covenant after, does the shortcut close back up?
On NG+, will I need to feed 30 humanity again to open it once more, or does it stay unlocked after doing it once?

Thanks!

Rebinding rolling doesn't work properly

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 02:52 AM PDT

Dear Dark Souls (Remastered) players. I have rebound my roll button so it is on A (or X for PS). However, when I press B (Circle for PS) it still rolls. How can I make it so it doesn't roll when I press my B or Circle button? Added a screenshot of my settings. https://imgur.com/a/PgzYEqD

Good weapon for sorcerery playthrough?

I've always wanted to try a sorcerery playthrough, but I couldn't think of a good weapon for the job.
