First of them uses a spear and magic - he deals lightning-based damage.
The second one is slower but has a large range thanks to his giant hammer.
Armed with a spear.
Most of his attacks can be blocked.
-two lightning bolts- a standard (deal small damage) and enhanced one (deal large damage).
Both projectiles can be blocked with a good shield.
-combos- the demon uses different combo hits.
Most of them can be blocked with a shield.
Smough- large and only slightly less agile!
Armed with a giant hammer.
-hammer swings- from the left, from the right and from above the head.
Sometimes in double or even triple sequence (one blow after other).
Side attacks can be avoided by rolling to the opposite direction.
Overhead swing can be avoided by jumping aside.
-charge- in this attack he quickly runs to you and hits from below throwing you in the airs.
The easiest tactics is to flee by rolling backwards twice.
-butt slam- if you get to close to Smough, demon will jump and slam the ground.
In the basic form of the beast (before killing his buddy), this slam has small range.
Tips
1)Be sure to focus on only ONE opponent.
After killing the demon, the second one renews his life and takes his mate’s skills.
If you kill Smough first, Ornstein will become a giant.
When you kill Ornstein first, Smough’s attack will deal also lightning-based damage.
2)During the fight with two opponents, observe them both.
Watch out for Smough’s attacks - you have to learn how to avoid them.
It will be very difficult to get out of the corner, when two opponents start attacking you.
Tactics
Melee fight- effective tactics, if you know how enemies behave.
In this case equip your character with a good shield (Eagle Shield) and a good weapon.
Against Ornstein - a weapon dealing fire-based damage.
If you do not have such weapon, you’re able to use a spear dealing lightning-based spear.
By using such weapon you’ve got the option to attack while hiding behind the shield.
Do not charge - by circling around the chamber and successively injuring Ornstein, you’ll make it.
Once the boss is dead, focus on Smough.
In this part of fight is all about watching out for his area attack (jump from above).
Other attack can be easily avoided (by jumping aside).
Attack your opponent mainly after his jump from above or overhead blow and swings.
Jump aside to avoid them and then run toward the beast and hit its side.
But this requires powerful equipment and a proper place to perform this.
In other case the fight will take really long.
