Oh shit, okay, will do. Thanks!No, go ahead. That's the way forward. The Bonfire at the bottom is not much farther away. Not all fog doors lead to bosses.

Huh, I made it to the bottom and missed the bonfire. Climbed back out so that I could refresh estus.
I'm assuming the goal is down in the mire somewhere? I left as soon as I discovered the water was poison, despite seeing that there was an item available aways into it.
Yes, the end of Blighttown is at the bottom of the mire. It takes a bit of exploring but the bonfire is not hard to miss and if you explore a bit more, you'll find both the boss of the area, as well as some cool items and secrets and even an easy way to farm Large Titanite Shards. The poison seems intimidating but it's not that bad; the damage tick down is not too agressive and it's best just to ignore it; after all, once you're poisoned you can't get further poisoned so just roll with it.
If you go back to the Undead Assylum, you'll find an item called the Rusted Iron Ring, which makes it so that you can move at normal speed when in water or the swamp.
Capra demon is ridiculous, I'm trying to learn attack patterns etc but I die in 5 seconds from the dogs and the demon himself. The area is too small, it doesn't make for a fun or fair fight. Any tips? I just don't know how I'm supposed to get better at this one.

I did it! Did a suicide run and jumped down several floors at a time as shortcuts and rolled past all the gross spider things and made it to the bottom and...poison killed me.No, go ahead. That's the way forward. The Bonfire at the bottom is not much farther away. Not all fog doors lead to bosses.
Considering that eventually you fight, this statement is spot on.hordes of Capra Demons in the Demon Ruins
I did it! I beat the capra demon. It took about ten to fifteen goes and a little YouTube research. I didn't cheese it too much but did use the run up the stairs, jump attack, rinse and repeat method. He's not actually that bad if you can get rid of the dogs. Got some key for somewhere. Not sure what door to use it on.
Cheers! Didn't have the Lord Vessel, so it was quite a march back, haha. The fact that I couldn't find the shortcut through Valley of the Drakes in Blighttown anymore didn't help either, but it was pretty satisfying to take the scenic route through Blighttown and the Depths again and realise how much easier it is now.Good news awaits! (If you have the Lord Vessel. If not, it's backtrack time!)
And congrats on taking Ceaseless down too :)
Sprint to the stairs as soon as the battle starts, go up and go right, stand on top of the "door". Kill the dogs from there and do a plunging attack on the capra demon. Climb the stairs again, do another plunging attack, rinse and repeat.Capra demon is ridiculous, I'm trying to learn attack patterns etc but I die in 5 seconds from the dogs and the demon himself.

The Titanite Demon in Anor Londo was probably the worse one. At least by yourself.Capra demon without his Room wouldn't be anything special
I was also really annoyed by the environment when fighting the titanite demon guarding the gardens. Trapped myself a couple of times due to this mess lol
Thanks, this is what I did after watching a video on it.Sprint to the stairs as soon as the battle starts, go up and go right, stand on top of the "door". Kill the dogs from there and do a plunging attack on the capra demon. Climb the stairs again, do another plunging attack, rinse and repeat.

I'm now at the gaping demon after absolutely dominating in the depths for about 45 mins - just plowed through that part.
Getting monster hunter vibes from this one. He doesn't seem too bad but my axe barely scratches him.
Did you find the treasure chest near the Butcher? Very important loot with concerns to weapon upgrades!Getting monster hunter vibes from this one. He doesn't seem too bad but my axe barely scratches him.
Weird. I beat Queelag on the third try, and I found her pretty damn easy. Once you know her animations and movement, you can dodge pretty much everything. Even when she busts out her flame whip (or whatever that is) if you just get right up close to the spider's face, it won't hit you.
Woohoo!
Yeah. Capra was way more difficult for me.Yeah I agree it was frightening as first and ended up not so hard...

I will say beating Capra requires a heavy dose of luck, too lmao.Dark Souls in a nutshell. Learn your enemy's attack pattern and be rewarded for it big time.

I am a total dark souls noob and I don't find playing in handheld mode more difficult than with a pro. Doing a boss fight on a bus is an incredible experience of self control and poker face mastery lolPlaying this in handheld mode for the first time is not the most optimal way to experience this. Wish I had a procontroller now.
Lol probably half of my play time is on the bus. I had to move to let someone off the other day and lost a few k in souls.I am a total dark souls noob and I don't find playing in handheld mode more difficult than with a pro.

Just run past the sentinels. That goes for any boss runback really.The adventures of Sadist in Anor Londo
Why are these things big, mean and a bunch of murderous meanies :(
Honestly, the first part is okay. Even the infamous archers weren't that bad. I got passed them during my fourth try. The cathedral did suck a bit. Especially those sentinels which respawn every time. Is there a way to get passed them to reach the foggate?
But man that boss fight versus Ornstein and Smough... for a first try I almost killed Ornstein, but these two are tough. Next time I should bring Solaire right? Any other tips for this fight?

Last night I cleared Quelaag and the Gargoyles in one go (it is so weird that I missed them. I beat that necromancer in the chapel a long time ago, but never thought to head on up the stairs behind him).
Now the lizardmen in Sen's Fortress are kicking my ass, so I'm going to grind a but to buy Titanite and get my arsenal up to +5.

Have to double down on Noema's advice here. I think you did great to get all the way to Sen's with a weapon below +5, but Sen's is full of large shards as loot, so that's the game telling you to get to +10 asap.And yeah, upgrading your weapon should be a good idea. In fact it should be close to +10 by the time you clear Sen's.
Ok so I killed the summoner above the gaping demon with my bow which helps but I'm doing so little damage it's laughable. I have a plus 3 axe that has 110 damage and my pyro is level 2.
Not sure what to do? Surely I'm not going to have to treck neck through the depths to firelink to upgrade my weapon? I don't have any titonite anyway.
I touched a large painting in anor londo and now I can't go back lol.
it's a 2 minute run back to Andre, don't sit at a bonfire and then use a homeward bone to warp back to the Depths bonfire, always halve your journey.Ok so I killed the summoner above the gaping demon with my bow which helps but I'm doing so little damage it's laughable.

Yeah, you need to finish that area before you can leave. It's very reminiscent of a Demon's Souls level in the fact that you spend the whole time opening different shortcuts to give you a simple sprint to the exit.
Thanks, loot by the butcher? I got a crossbow I think that doesn't help muchit's a 2 minute run back to Andre, don't sit at a bonfire and then use a homeward bone to warp back to the Depths bonfire, always halve your journey.
If you killed the Channeller from the boss room, I assume you didn't go to the area where he is, I'd nip back there first there's some loot that will be useful before going back to Andre, as will the loot in the treasure chest near the Butcher if you found that in the Depths. Buy the upgrade box from Andre so you can upgrade your weapon at any bonfire (he will still have to ascend it at +5 and +10).
Domnhall, the merchant in the Depths also sells a limited quantity of gold pine resin, which dragon enemies are weak to.
