Go through the fog door, run right for a second, immediately turn left afterwards and sprint up the stairs. Kill the dogs as they come up the stairs towards you. Then just wait until the Capra Demon makes his way up the stairs and, as he's almost at the top, jump down. He'll jump after you and will be stunned by the fall for a second. Hit him once or twice, run away and go back up the stairs. Repeat until victory.
This works.


this is what i did an yes it finally worked.....now I'm in the depths and I hope all goes well.... Either way this game is -blam!- hard dudes and dudettes

I love Dark Souls. I've only just beaten the Capra Demon, but I'm really enjoying it.

Defeating him isn't terribly difficult. Dark Souls is really all about patience and learning the enemy attacks. Since they don't have a very solid AI, once you know the moveset you cant react accordingly. But, it definitely has a ridiculously high learning curve.

Watch a youtube video on beating it if you get desperate.

If it came out on Games on Demand, I'd be finding all sorts of new strategies right now instead of wasting my time with Halol 4.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people.

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Run up stairs to the end, wait for dogs, kill dogs, lunge attack capra demon. Then fight him normally (helps to back up then striek when he's done with his strong move).

edit: nvm.

Sigh, I beat that game within a week of its release.

Anyway, for Capra use the stairs and divide and conquer. Once the dogs are dead Capra is a joke.


Forgive me if I do not believe you. Every major nerd gamer I have talked to have yet to beat the game and have stopped playing because how hard it was.


It's not such a feat that something of this magnitude is unbelievable, the game is difficult, yes, but beating it within the first weak is something that is certainly manageable.

dude I can't even make it to the stairs I thought well maybe my armor is too heavy


Why the hell are you using heavy armor in a game that emphasizes hit and run?


You won't even be able to walk to the four kings let alone look at lord gwyn or astorias.


Hell, NITO could probably kill you.
A bigger insult would be pinwheel lol.

If the swamps don't kill you, the framerate will.

Indeed. If teh puma had to put the bosses on a list in order of difficulty, with number 1 being the toughest... 4 kings would be number 1.

And climb inside.

I just bought Dark Souls in the steam sale and it's amazing. On my first playthough and just got past Sen's Fortress. Also OP ditch the drake sword and start upgrading a different weapon like a Balder Side Sword or Zwiehander, that drake sword is about to become useless.

Wow... Dark Souls was not hard at all compared to Demon's Souls. It was actually quite tame. How are you struggling with this? Even with using the cheat, I mean Drake sword you can't beat it...?

haha touche touche so what you are saying is start a new character...the pyromancer use him with the drake sword I know that fire is a weakness of his but I cannot put fire on the drake sword which sucks btw


You don't need to start a new character for any reason. Swap your armor for something lighter and get pyromancy. You really need to start using the dark souls wiki if it is this bad.


The Drake sword is fine until Anor londo, once you reach that you need to get a better weapon.

I found an axe in the depths that starts out doing 140 damage should I upgrade that weapon until it is better than the drake sword the use it?
