Capra demon is a fucking cunt. My tries were in the high 10's or 20's easily before i downed him
Gaping dragon is probably the easiest boss fight in the game but i think i cheesed him. Back off untill he does his charge attack, dodge then beat the shit out of him rinse and repeat.
Also after gaping dragon, jumping off that river at the end doesnt work and is NOT the way to progress. Learnt that the hard way.
Oh actually, moonlit butterfly is really easy. I didnt know i was walking into a boss fight and was completely blind-sighted with like 10 arrows, i still smashed that bug.

One thing that annoyed me to no end because i didn't find it until i got really frustrated and looked up a map:
There is a bonfire at the bottom of Blighttown. You don't have to go through the whole area each time you try Quelaag.

I think people are a lot more frustrated by Sen Fortress if they don't find the bonfire in there. :D

Yeah, after that experience i started looking up bonfire locations. Nothing else, it is just absurdly annoying not to find that bonfire and having to progress 2 levels at once.

No that isn't cheesing Gaping Dragon, that is how everyone fights him unless you have ranged stuff. Also when he slams down, hit his head because it does more damage, just get the hell out of the way when he does his charge.

I breezed through Capra with my first character. Zweihander and a lot of poise, I just smashed the heavy two-handed attack until I won. Learned about poise the hard way with the assassin squads and dogs before that.

I'm not sure what the deal is with Capra. Everyone seems to struggle with him but he's one of the fights I struggled with the least when I was a beginner. Just climb the stairs, back into the corner of that little balcony you can hop on to the right, and he'll almost always fall when he attempts to get to you. Then plunge down on him, optionally hit him a few times, then rinse and repeat. The hardest part of that fight for me is killing the dogs, not the boss at all...
|
It's not that Capra is a difficult boss, but rather the immediacy of the fight that makes it annoying. First time I fought him, he immediately jump attacked and killed me before the fog even cleared for me to see anything. I couldn't even get a chance to see what happened and what boss was there that hit me, it was kinda bullshit. It's just a frustrating fight, not a difficult fight by any means though.

Now that I can definitely attest to!

For anyone doing this for the first time. Don't ever buy a great shield, much less Artorias great shield. The whole game will become extremely trivial-simple raise shield and poking with a one handed weapon.

You need to download dsfix and mousefix apparently. Didn't do shit for me aside from fuck up my resolution but maybe you'll have better luck.

Oh hey I never noticed there was a DS thread on TL. I love this game. I have like 150 hours clocked and am currently working on my soul level one play through. (it is the worst thing ever)

That's the mistake I made with dsfix, worked perfectly afterwards.

Well ok I get that... Although I´ve had more problems with the dogs jumping at me. But as soon as they´re gone it´s just kiting.

The dogs are part of the boss fight and exactly what makes it a difficult encounter

Should also tell them to not make a ring shield. You can destroy everything but the four kings with that thing.

There's just a lot of randomness in that fight. You either win or lose in the first 5 seconds. You get like .3 seconds to decide if you need to roll left or right and if you choose the wrong one then you get pinned by dogs.

First time through I went capra demon after clearing the pain in the ass that was Blighttown, I was pretty tanky at that point which made the encounter laughable.
Did the same thing with the seemingly infamous Four Kings, didn't even try them before clearing most of the other content so I could just tank them with Havel's while pumping out enough damage with Lightning Spear+Power Within to kill them one by one.
Only boss I found really tough personally was S&O, had to summon an AI companion to beat that.
