I have to concur here on Dark Bead. Man, that spell is uber brutal with some bosses. Where Four Kings once led me to curse and spit obscenities into the Abyss, this particular spell reduces that encounter to ashes very quickly indeed. Coupled with the Crystallisation Catalyst, one or two Crystal Soul Spears and a relatively high intelligence and it's goodnight Irene to nary a boss in your path.
Didn't have Dark bead or crystal soul spear back then. For me it was simply changing the order of deploying the spells in my arsenal (i.e. keep the fast ones for when the fight intensifies in the end)
I had relatively no dramas with S&O, got 'em on the first go armed with pre-knowledge. (Lightning gear, a strong shield) I even smashed up Super Ornstein this time around with the kind sunny assistance of Solaire of course, who lived to tell the tale.
My solution was indeed protecting Solaire for the last part of the Fight (Super Smough) instead of trying to foolishly conserve resources I didn't end up using.
Did you see the Solaire and Siegmeyer stories to their conclusions? I must admit I muffed up Solaires and lost contact with him in Lost Izalith, but my friend managed to conclude it properly and used his help in the Gwyn showdown.
I did get Solaire in the end. Sieg I saved in Lost Izalith then told his daughter I've seen him but did not check if there was something further with those two in the end. Will do in the next replay.
EDIT:

Oh, another thing I didn't find plus that 50 int spell… I'll hazard a guess that you have to attack his "oversized headgearness" to get it… That'd be out of character for me (plus the game was already easy enough…)
