REN SUMMARY

AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.

A player revisiting Dark Souls says they have made it deep into Anor Londo, but one room before the Ornstein and Smough boss fight has become their biggest problem. They are not frustrated with the boss duo itself nearly as much as the area leading up to them.

The main issue is that the player wants to summon Solaire for the fight, but his summon sign is far across the room. Getting there without waking the enemies is nearly impossible, and once the fight starts, Solaire often gets pulled into battle with them instead of heading to the boss door.

The room also contains a difficult mix of enemies: a left-side archer and two heavy knights downstairs. The player says the enemies can drain Estus, use healing, and knock them down at bad moments, turning every attempt into a long and tiring run.

On top of that, each failed attempt can cost Humanity needed for summoning. The player says they are now out of Humanity and would have to farm more before trying again with Solaire.
