This is my first playthrough. It was not that bad honestly. It was easier without Solaire lol. I killed Ornstein first and spammed Smough with soul arrows until I ran out and did the last 11-12 hits with my Large Club+10. Those stupid Royal Sentinels were the boss for me.

Just beat dragonrider, should i do no man’s wharf, lost bastille, or old dragonslayer?
<p>Ok, this clearly is not Ornstein at all. How do I know this? After the events of Dark Souls 1 and before the events of Dark Souls 3, the real Ornstein left Anor Londo in search of Gwyn's Firstborn. We even find his Armor and Spear at Archdragon Peak after defeating the Nameless King.
This is 100% not Ornstein at all, but an imposter.
Another proof of evidence that this is not Ornstein is the pauldrons on the Old Dragonslayer's armor. They are completely different when you compare them to Ornstein's pauldrons.
Not to mention the fact that Ornstein had a golden colored spear unlike the Old Dragonslayer's Spear and more like the Dragonslayer Swordspear from Dark Souls 3.
The fact that Ornstein 'appears' in this game is clearly not correct at all in terms of lore, armor, and canoncity.

<p>It is confirmed that Ornstein is the Old Dragonslayer because besides the Dragonslayer Armour in Dark Souls 3, Ornstein is the only other Dragonslayer capable of returning to the series as the Old Dragonslayer found in the Tower of Flame. There are alot of Theories that prove this.

<p>In dark soul 1 that ornstein and smough ae a illusion because ornstien found a person that look like him so he gave him his stuff since he failed his mission then he comes back to find him dead then takes back his stuff then he pollishes his armour then he goes to the nameless king because he found out that he was gwin's first born and then he killed ornstein thats why you find his armour after the nameless king boss fight smough we dont know where he is but we do know he went back to anor londo since you find his armour before pontiff's boss fight after the fight you go to anor londo to fight aldrich.
</p><p>Well thats what i believe : D

<p>If you think about it, <i>Old Dragonslayer</i> is slightly larger than Ornstein and smaller than Ornstein's Super form, which could suggest that Smough's enhancements (size increase) from his death, passed on to Ornstein and remained there; which also suggests that it more than likely is Ornstein and that he did in fact survive the encounter with the Chosen Undead in Lordan long ago. But, back to the size comparison, if you think about it, when the player killed Smough first, Ornstein absorbed his power, and became equivalent to Smough in size; which could be what happened to <i>Old Dragonslayer</i>, it may have been that his power absorption slowly deteriorated over time, and instead of his lightning attacks, because they, too, deteriorated into darkness; which could have been a side effect of absorbing Smough's power.
</p><p>Just a speculation.

<p>Just thought i'd set up a discussion of any characters/items/locations anyone has come across that link Dark Souls and the sequel, rampant speculation welcome. SPOILERS
