Don't worry about 100k souls, that isn't a setback.
Have you opened both shortcuts?
There is a door that you can open, so you can get to the O&S bossfight from the bonfire (that is past the two archers) and only kill 2 silver knights.
Second shortcut is opening the large double doors in the large lobby area (where the fog is to enter O & S fight). There is a crank you can use to open the large double doors, that lead outside. So you can start from the Darkmoon Tomb bonfire (which is reached by going to the bottom of the revolving staicase thingy) if you want.
O & S is definitely soloable even for inexperienced players. My first time playing through the game O & S was a stumbling block for me too. Now it is probably my favorite boss fight in the game and tremendously fun to solo.
Some tips: When you enter the boss room, move to either side, to the pillars. Dont stay in the middle. You will want to kill Ornstein first (golden knight dude with a spear). Easiest way to do this is wait for him to charge to you, dodge, hit him a few times and back off. Patience. Try to keep ornstein between you and Smough (the fatty with the hammer). Even better, keep a pillar between you and Smough.
If you still can't progress, I would recommend you go to the catacombs. You can leave anor londo by going to the large lobby where you can enter the boss fight. In the corner, there is a crank that will open the large double doors. You were there before. Now go outside, to the revolving staircase and go all the way up. Go straight to the elevator and then left all the way. Touch the ring of light and you will be transported back to Sen's Fortress.
ive died to the boss about 50 times dude, so I have all the shortcuts and shit open, i didnt just get to him now. Fuck that sounded snappy, Im sorry, just...Im honestly at the "why am I doing this" phase, which is a shame because Ive loved the game up to this, but this is horrible. And im sorry, this will never be fun like you say (for me that is). I understand people enjoy hard games and whatnot, but this isnt fun, this wouldnt be fun in a proper action game where attack animations dont take 2 seconds, or in a game with a proper camera, let alone in this. Like I said before, as much as I like the game, even love it, I will never be in that subset of people that worship it, because some of the things in it that make it artificially hard are awful (like the camera for example).
Of course I fully understand that you can take the "lol L2P noob" stance with everything I said, and you might be entirely right, but as someone that plays games on normal everytime, that doesnt give a fuck about achievements or replaying games, this is torture. I guess I should have expected it coming into the game, but in the previous 25 hours it was hard but fair (except those snipers, and the gargoyles at the start to a much smaller extent), this isnt fair in my opinion. I think Vinny said it best in a video or podcast or whatever it was, Dark Souls is awesome 1 on 1, but as soon as you fight multiple enemies, it falls apart, I completely agree. Fuck im angry / sad lol. again, I apologize for sounding ungrateful or something.
