What to use against Ornstein and Smough?

It's also important to be able to sprint when Smough does his ground pound attack, as you want to avoid getting hit by that at all costs. Soul Spears and Dark Beads work very well against both Ornstein and Smough, allowing you to deal damage while keeping your distance.

What is the best weapon against Ornstein Smough?

Another thing you could try is grabbing the Crystal Halberd from the mimic in the large room leading to the Duke's Archives (on the left, as you head towards the elevator from the first Anor Londo bonfire). It deals decent damage to both bosses - usually more so to Ornstein.

What is the best magic against Ornstein and Smough?

Fire Orb and Great Fireball. You want the ones where you have some range so you can get in a throw after one of his combos. I would use it when he did his lightning AoE butt stomp or when he jumped in the air and does the downward stab. Both of those can be dodged easily and you have time to throw a fireball.

What is the strategy for Smough and Ornstein?

Just remember to keep your eyes on Ornstein and kill him as quickly as possible, then enchant your weapons to lightning once he is down to deal with the slow and lumbering mega-Smough once he's defeated. Again, this is one of the toughest fights in all of Dark Souls, and there is no shame in Summoning to get help.

Is lightning good against ornstein?

Smough is weak to Lightning and strong to Fire, Ornstein is strong to Lightning and weak to Fire. If you've put any points into STR/DEX and intend to get one or both of them to 40, changing it to Lightning will get rid of the scaling bonus you get from those stats which makes it worse in the long run.
