Talk:Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough/@comment-27.147.247.39-20171020012420

In my experience, killing Smough first is actually easier. First, I had fastroll on used Cloranthy for extra stamina regen, and killed Smough by dodging or blocking with a greatshield (I used Greatshield of Artorias, but a +10 Eagle Shield will do great too) and attacking (Pyromancy and Queelaag's Furysword) right after. Smough usually went down quickly, as 13 Great Combustion casts are enough to kill him in NG+2 with an ascended Pyromancy Flame. After Ornstein grew giant, almost non of his attacks hit when I simply stuck close to his legs and rolled through them when he started to attack. I attacked after I dodged, and whittled down his health little by little. I rolled twice and healed if necessary when he did a buttslam.

This is probably since I had a tanky build and super Smough's lightning did ridiculous damage through my shield, even OHKOing me at full health without breaking my guard.
