- Enter the left side of the fog gate.
- Don't quit out after/near the fog gate, or the dash opener will be slightly different.
- If you re-enter the fight after dying/quitting out, the dash opener will be different; Ornstein will dash straight towards you instead of being delayed.
- If a royal sentinel is running towards you before the fight, you may need to roll after entering.
- Smough has a glitch associated with him during the transition from phase 1 to phase 2. When the cutscene starts and Smough has an active hitbox, the game will move him to his start position but won't delete his hitbox from phase 1 - it'll just stay lingering there. Make sure to avoid getting close to where Smough's hitbox was when phase 1 ended.
