HARDEST, FIGHT, EVER.
No phantoms.
The build was still in progress and the armor was terrible.
Ornstein's armor with Silver Knight Gauntlets and Silver Knight Leggins, no helmet.
Vitality 30
Att:12
End: 30
Strength: 20
Dex:30
Base int, res and faith.
Only uchigatana..... needless to say. struggled to even enter the colliseum. when I found Artorias I was like.... oh crap. I didn't even managed to get 200+ damage on him, I was sweating close to swearing, The frigging katana did nothing to him! THE DESPERATION, THE DECEPTION..... "YOU ARE DEAD".
I could not believe it, I have never struggled SO MUCH for nothing!, my friend didn't even farm enough humanity for kindling or level anything other than the katana. I wanted to bite my finger off so many times. I kept struggling, I was scared, I kept rolling away so much I didn't even attacked, then before I knew I was so far from him that he had plenty of time to buff and kill me, he dodged everyone of my attacks and even when I was able to attack the uchigatana did NOTHING to him.
I grew tired to dying, so I dispatched the two pyromancies I had available, I thought I would need more movement, so I put on havel's ring which I luckily found in the bottemless box.... but of course, even with that I stayed in mid roll.... so I thought about something... something crazy, but crazy enough to work.... I searched for chester (no idea where he frigging was) and when I finally found him, I chugged the estus and hacked away at him with all my might. then I put on his clothes, FINALLY. FAST ROLL!.
Please bear with me while I'm about to tell you the experience of my gaming life.
I rested and prepared mentally for the battle, I was hollowed, and I had lost every soul (much to my friend's rage xD) I had on me because of Artorias, I speedran toward him ignoring every enemy, I managed to only waste 1 drink of estus before the fog there.
I equipped the cloranthy ring before the fight....
I entered the battlefield as Artorias launched into the air, it was the battle of battles, dodge after dodge, hit after hit, I don't know how I did it, but I assaulted Artorias with an infinitty of slashes with the uchi everytime I dodged, Artorias would fly up into the air but I would roll out of harm's way then hack away with many slashes, I did an all out assault on Artorias, I was never far from him, in fact I was always just in front of him and the battle raged with the speed of a thunder.
The first barrage of attacks was over... now Artorias began to buff, I panicked so much I started to slash the devil out of him.... He was just about to finish the buff when it happened.... 4 two handed slashes of the uchigatana could stagger him! the joy in my heart!. I was not afraid anymore, I knew I would just need to keep up until he expired... and so I did, I was compltetely absorbed by the fight, when Artorias gave his final scream. I could not believe I had won!. VICTORY ACHIEVED!.
And then a bloated sorcerer kicked me off a ledge :S.
That is my only experience with the dlc and so far I loved it. I can't wait to buy it from the psn store!. but one thing i'm sure.... i'm gonna bring a full army of phantoms into that dreaful oolacile! xD

Damn me and my perfect build creation/management skills. Silver Knight spear stabbed through him like when I eat toast (don't ask questions about that *cough*). That sounds so great though, have fun with the upcoming battles and enemies and ambushes and items and NPCs and DEATHS =D!!!
