Hey Everyone know that Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition is ported to mac now I am here to help you out so ask me any question on bosses or items and stuff.
One boss the everyone struggles with is Dragon Slayer Ornstein & Executioner Smough so here is some tips to help you out! there also a video I beat him on NG+ Naked so yay you dont have to do that me showing off!
Tip: Before doing this boss go fight them and about 5 times to learn there attack patterns (if you beat them on first try great for you!)
Tip: Run behind the Pillars to try to separate Ornstein and Smough (they tend to stick togther)
Tip: Play Aggersively! (if you dont and let the fight dragon on to long they will become overaggressive with there attacks.)
Tip: Summon The NPC if you have Hummainty
Tip: Use Equipt load under 25.0
Tip: Ornstein weakness if fire Smough Weakness is fire and lighting
Tip: Enable FXAA setting you be able to see there shadows and know when there going to attack! (mainly Smough you need to look out for)
1. The first death in the video shows what happens if you figh them to long i ran out of stamina and that how i died.
2. the 2nd part is how i killed them.

Basic setup: [ My setup ]
program does better), but doing that requires huge capture files. That's just the way it is.
Anyway, here are my best hard drive performance tips:
If you can't get 60 fps (or 2x record rate) on-screen, try some or all of these tweaks, until
performance is good enough:
- Fraps Capture Settings
- start with full size, 30 fps
- "Lock Framerate" - Off
- "Lossless RGB" - Off
...
- start with full size, 30 fps
- Turn off background processes and other features that can slow down your system
- Anti-Virus "full time" or "resident" scan
- Disable Windows Media Player's scanning of the Fraps folder.
- Delete bloatware (unneeded programs that may slow down the system)
- Anti-Virus "full time" or "resident" scan
program does better), but doing that requires huge capture files. That's just the way it is.
Anyway, here are my best hard drive performance tips:
- Record to a dedicated hard drive. A dedicated hard drive lets your main drive
concentrate on writing
... - 500GB or greater, 7200RPM or greater preferred
(larger HDD's are faster, with the sweet spot at about 1 TB)
... - Don't use a "green" HDD (green HDD's can go into power-saving mode at the worst time)
... - If you you can't install a second internal drive, install your games to an external
drive and use your internal drive for Fraps. (Maybe. Still not sure about this.)
... - I don't recommend recording to an external drive, but if you do: don't use a USB 2.0 drive;
they're too slow; use USB 3.0 or eSATA drives only. Check the benchmarks before
you buy. (note: using a USB 2.0 drive to record may interfere with your USB game controllers)
... - For best speed, partition the first 30% or so for Fraps. The first part of the disk is up to
20% faster than the last part (this is known as a short stroke partition). A dedicated
partition is also easier to keep defragged.
If recording to the "system" disk (not the best way to go, but sometimes you don't have
a choice), leave 80-100 GB for OS & programs and create a Fraps partition after that.
...
- Turn down some detail settings & special effects:
- HDR, bloom, or post-effects;
- Anti-aliasing (more than about 2xAA won't be seen on the final video);
- Any other GPU "performance" options
...
- HDR, bloom, or post-effects;
- Try disabling vertical sync & triple buffering, if you use it - vertical sync may cause
severe fps degradation with Fraps & certain games.
- GPU Setup: "vertical sync" - off; max pre-rendered frames 0 or 1 for reduced lag
- Game setup: "vertical sync" & "triple buffer" - off
...
- GPU Setup: "vertical sync" - off; max pre-rendered frames 0 or 1 for reduced lag
- Try to get 100-120 fps in-game, minimum, without Fraps recording; more is always better.
This means there will be spare power for Fraps.
If you can't get 60 fps (or 2x record rate) on-screen, try some or all of these tweaks, until
performance is good enough:
- Use lower resolution (1080, or 720 if necessary)
- Record at half size. (1/4 disk usage for tremendous performance. If recording at
1080 or better, half size is not bad looking and can be up-sized to 720. Vertical sync
may affect resized image quality) - Turn AA Off completely
- Force lower DirectX version
- Play game in window mode
- Lower resolution some more.
- Record at 25 fps instead of 30 fps (uses 17% less everything)
- Try another capture program...
- Maybe go to a RAID-0 setup for extreme situations; RAIDs are tough to set up though;
unreliable too; a single, dedicated, high-performance HDD should be enough.
