HeeHee. If you want the easy path, kill Ornstein first. However, if you want a really nice ring, kill Smough first.
Ornstein is weak when you are directly under him. Just have to be sure to roll out of his Spear drop/Ground slam. Smough is pretty much the same just you can be more to his back side. Still watch out for the ground slam though.
The pillars in the room along with Solaire distracting them help quite a bit.
Just remember, timing is everything in this game.
Oh and Ornstein is weak to fire, while Smough is weak to lightning; and they resist each other's weakness.

Leo ring isn't that great, to be honest. And while we're on the subject of dueling etiquette, I find it's much safer to just shield up until the other person starts to bow :P I'll give a bow in return, but I've been ganked by scrubs too much to let it keep happening lol

lol that's like half the fun of DkS! After PvPing entirely too much, I feel like SL200 is the best level for PvP. Gives you enough freedom to do basically any build you want, but not enough to make any particular build massively OP or cookie-cutter.

Haha twinking is fun too. The best level for it is typically 11, because you can invade literally any level at SL11. Light crossbow and lightning weapons own when you're twinking :P

You can invade people (10+(15% of your level)) under you, and any level above you. Light crossbow doesn't scale with stats anyway, so making it lightning is a bit of a moot point :P

WOW anor londo is officially my new grinding spot.
those giants are so easy to kill and give 1500 per X_x, clean both buildings out rinse+repeat. already gained 2 easy levels lol.
edit- hitting the sack for the night, thanks again everybody for the help and comments i really do appreciate it <3
Have you found the bonfire on the inside yet? If so, just put your sign down while you farm and help people that summon you for the boss fight.
The only catch is, when you enter wait to see which boss the guy attacks first, that is the one you want to kill.

Those archers are easily the worst. If people don't know about it, they can get their hands on a bow and some poison arrows and shoot those archers from out of range from their arrows. The poison will proc, and then they will die of it. It takes time, and is super cheesy, but simplifies things quite a bit if someone is stuck in that kind of hell.
O&S is the first real test of Dark Souls imo. Their AI is a bit wonky but when they get in sync it can be a bit ridiculous for the new people to the game.
Some people may disagree but I think that in certain situations (NG+, or calamity/cursed challenges etc) The Four Kings can be pretty difficult.

The four kings is the only main hurdle stopping everyone from going into NG++ as a low lvl. Even some people as a high lvl
The difficulty is just that much more intense, it's crazy lol
I just did Four Kings yesterday on NG+, and only died once. I was on the last King, and 2 hits would have did it, and I thought it was doing the wave stomp move whatever, but it did the grab move, and I didn't have enough hp and died.
In all seriousness, I thought Four Kings on NG+ was a joke compared to the 1st playthrough. O&S was definitely a ton harder than Four Kings, NG+ or not. Hell, I didn't even die to Gravelord Nito on NG+ either, bosses seem easier this time around. Although, Bed of Chaos is coming up for me soon, that's not gonna be fun...

I think I am like 180ish, but you did say that Four Kings stop some high level people from going NG++

hit 40 endurance and i'm at 36 vit. like nothing in dex/str still.
I'm torn on what build i should go for, do i go for str build and get epic *** heavy armor/shield with a mid roll
or do i go for dex and play lightweight fast rolling 2handed strikes of death? D:

only reason i was thinking about doing dex is because the 3 weapons i have maxed atm are claymore/uchigatana/sidesword which are all dex. (ithink >.>) keep in mind max for me atm is still only +10 D:
edit- also, do you ever get to fight the big red dragon on the bridge? or is he there for show for the rest of the game? D:

Psh... max level here I come.
Oh Josi, I counted my souls the other day and I'm on NG+++++.
Oh and the only stats I don't have @ 99 now are Dexterity, Attunement(lol), and Resistance.
I'm debating on dropping my DWGR in favor of the FaP ring. If I do so, I can gain a bit more defensive stats and maybe another threshold on poise. But dat ninja flip doe.
