Battle with Ornstein and Smaug in Dark souls has become one of the most memorable boss battles ever. Players had to simultaneously fight with enemies, and when one died, the second absorbed his forces, received some of the skills and completely restored health.
Enthusiast Zullie the witch interested in the likelihood of the simultaneous death of both bosses – is it possible. To do this, he conducted several experiments.
The first time, he destroyed both opponents with a powerful area attack. In this case, the boss of the second phase was Ornstein – as it turned out, the game does not monitor the health of both, but builds on the animations. Whoever fell first died.
During the second attempt, through modification, the enthusiast sped up Ornstein’s animation, which caused Smaug to survive and become the boss of the second half of the battle.
In the last experiment, the modder “killed” the enemies using a third-party program and immediately unloaded their models – even in this case, it was Ornstein who became the winner.
However, the fan wondered if the developers had foreseen something themselves – for this he began to dig into the files of Dark Souls, where he discovered that by default it was Ornstein who remained alive. Smaug can only appear in the second phase if he survives.
Wait until Ornstein or Smaug die.
If Smaug is not dead, turn on Super Smaug.
Otherwise, turn on Super Ornstein…
As a result, the developers deliberately made it so that in any case, avoiding the second phase of the battle will not work – you will have to fight both, and then with a powerful version of one of their bosses.
