Lots of progress today. I beat the boss battle in Anor Londo. Funny thing about those archers there: From what I had read here I was prepared to die lots of times trying to get to them, while actually killing them would be very easy once I got to them. Well, I had the opposite problem. I never died trying to get to them. But I died lots of time when I got into melee range for some reason. I got them eventually though.
Taking revenge on the
was fun too. Although I felt a bit naked without Estus Flasks. I had to go for him directly. If I tried taking out the other guys first, I would run out of health too quickly.
After my first try on Ornstein and Smough, I realised that I had to summon help. The only high leveled weapon I had was the lightning spear, and that weapon didn't work very well against Ornstein. Since he used lightning attacks, I guess he had high lightning resistance? I had two active humanities I figured I might as well use so I used a bone to get out of there to reverse hollowing.
On my first run in human form, I didn't find any summoning signs. But an invader found me right in front of the fog gate before the boss. I actually handled my self pretty well. I did a lot more damage than I took. Would only need one or two more hits to down him. Then he managed to backstab me. I still had some HP left, so I tried rolling away to use a flask. It would have worked too. Except I had run past all the enemies on my way there. While I was getting ready to chug an Estus, I was killed by one of the enemies that I had ignored earlier.
Well, on the next try I found a phantom. He used some kind of two-handed sword with which he could OHKO the giant guards in the area, which was pretty bad ass. I was worried that he would take down the boss this fast as well. Sure I wanted help, but I still wanted a fight. Luckily, the weapon didn't seem all that overpowered against the boss. Nevertheless, he was a lot of help and we took them both down. Fat guy first. I really love this game.
