Talk:Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough/@comment-5909068-20130102004425

I killed these guys solo on NG+. It helps if you have Ascended Pyromancy Flame +5 and 2 Fire Orb/Fireball scroll thingys. That way, you can have more casts (assuming you have more than 1 attunement slots). What you want to do is kill Ornstein first with pyromancies (he's really weak to fire) and then just either skillfully dodge Smough/tear him up with a fast weapon (Uchingatana +10 was what I was using. The bleed damage is amazing) or bring A LOT of bolts (100+ for sure) and just keep kiting him around the broken pillar bases. The ranged method takes considerably longer but is much safer than running in and maybe getting smashed.
