​@willevensen7130 you do realize that if you get jumped immediately you can't learn the actual mechanics of his attacks or learn much about the area and thus do NOT "know what's up" I think you've just fought him enough times that you've forgotten how absolutely horrible the area design is. That spot deceives you into thinking you're safe but the Demon can still hit you, can attack in ways that you mechanically cannot and thus wouldn't easily predict, HAS DOGS that are hard to hit without a long reach jab due to the closeness of the area and oppression of poise breaking. You almost have no choice but to get lucky otw in if you're on PC and don't have quite good enough specs. My game always screen tears after the fog wall due to the number of entities in that whole area. To prevent it I have to clear the area hitless if I want flasks for the fight or go hitless in the fight. After playing for about 80 hours the fight is MUCH closer to trivial. Bell Gargoyle is literally two bosses on an open roof with extra limbs and fire breathing. It's easier than Capra Demon. Note: the Demon isn't the difficulty, it's the combo of him and the dogs and the bad space. Mostly the space.

Little known backstory: The tenants of the lower Undead Burg signed a petition to have the Capra Demon evicted for keeping pets in an unsuitably small space, violating various regulations in the process, but the whole initiative went nowhere, because nobody was able to figure out the landlord‘s identity. True story. 😛

Honestly beating the Capra Demon in three attempts is pretty impressive. He's an infamous "wall" boss. It's one of only two points that are unfair but I appreciate how it forces the player to think about how to approach the fight. Capra Demon is pretty weak to plunging attacks so I imagine they intended the player to use the stairs, get his AI to jump down (because it wants to follow a straight line) and then plunge him over and over. Part of the issue though is that the camera gets stuck on everything and it becomes hard to see. Like others have said though you'll never see Capra Demon on anyone's list of favorite bosses because there's not much fighting involved.

The Capra Demon is an extreme difficulty curve, and it's basically a rite of passage. Once you do that, you have the keys to the rest of the game, but you will work for it. Honestly, your fight with the Capra Demon was very good! You learned quickly and didn't succumb to anger or fear. It's really a test for many as it forces you to learn the bosses ranges and timing. After this fight, most of the arenas are larger. I tell you this because it very much shows, just how much you love level design. The way you explore is exactly as the game intends, and it's one of the best first-time runs I've seen. When you find a new room, you check every nook and remember almost every alternate route. You killed the Moonlight Butterfly, got the key, and were chased by Havel (the large knight that 1 shot you with his black Dragon Tooth). He chased you back up the tower, where you were then blocked off by shielded enemies, so you traveled higher, past the Taurus Demon's castle wall, and into the Dragon's Roost. At the bridge, you nearly tested the limits for passing under the Dragon, and in the process, you found the locked door. This is exactly how you are intended to proceed. The game does a very good job of directing you through difficulty. If you had gone any other way, it would have been a serious struggle, and you either would have had to overcome or been rerouted eventually to this same place. Your knowledge of level design guided you right back to wear you aught to be. Your run has been extremely enjoyable to watch.Your fight with Capra Demon was much better than you realize. You quickly found the strategy, learned the timings and spacing, and found openings to strike back. You fight like life depends on it. I really want to see this through, so I hope this gives you confidence. There will be challenges ahead, but only a couple that really go to this level of engagement until the dlc. You have what it takes to be up their with the best. It's unlikely that you would get into Souls enough to achieve this, but you already play more properly than most. I know you played Bloodborne first, but you are no doubt talented. Anyway I'll be hoping for more, as this has been the most enjoyable Dark Souls playthrough I've watched in the entire series. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Keep up the good work. You are a legend 🫡

Extreme may be a bit extreme, but its still 100% a difficulty curve for many. If its not your first Souls game, its not a problem at all. Despite playing Bloodborne, it was her first Souls game, which plays a lot differently. My compliments are less on her fighting style, and more focused on her attention to detail. She really pays attention to the world, and rarely disappoints in that regard. She highlighted exactly what makes DS1 stand out in the trilogy.

My god that Capra Demon fight at the end was stressful just watching it 😂 brings back horrible memories

This was actually a really good first fight with the Capra Demon, even though it probably felt like a shitshow. Once you worked out the staircase loop you were totally running his show.

Yes, I believe the consensus is that *everyone* hates the Capra Demon their first time around, so don't be too hard on yourself. You actually did really well beating it.

Going forward, remember tactics you've learned in the past to try in the future. Cheer up, you are absolutely blasting your way through the game. Thank you.

"That was quite frankly stupid." You just summed up how we all feel about Capra Demon. The dogs and the dang room are the true bosses haha

Keep it up!!! You remind me of myself during my first time playing DS. It is normal to hate it sometimes, don't be too hard on yourself, you're doing great! c':

It's cool to see this part of the game from a new players perspective, I've been a big fan of Dark Souls since its release and have played it so much that it's become second nature now. Watching this reminds me of what it was like on first playing - mostly running away from everything. When you first encountered Havel, the guy hiding in the doorway, you were pretty brave to face him like that. The best way to fight him, albeit being very difficult, is to constantly backstab him but if you beat him you get a good reward. Just don't get hit. Edit: You also revealed something I didn't even realise after many playthroughs! Griggs of Vinheim might not be who he says he is and the dead body in the barrel might be the real Griggs after all.

I am currently doing my own DS1 playthrough for the first time right now as well and the Capra was absolute PAIN but trust me while you will get frustrated at this game there is some charm and satisfaction you get from beating a area such as this that keeps bringing me back. Hang in there and loved the video :)

Just in case: spoilers for the episode In the Capra Demon fight you panic rolled a lot. One well timed roll per enemy attack is good, everything else just drains your stamina. And then you kept holding your shield up which slowed your stamina recovery too, when you were already having less because of the rolling. That way the demon kept breaking your guard. All of this being said though you still took way fewer tries than I did when fighting him for the first time so don't take my nagging too seriously here. You did really well! And if it helps: There aren't any more bosses in such tight spaces.

current theory for Capra demon is that he was supposed to be one of the first bosses and was pushed back basically last minute, which is why they added the dogs to make it a bit harder, so this fight is kinda a special case. There was a video on it but I can't remember who made it

Haha 200% mad on that Capra Demon boss, don't even blame you - I couldn't stand that fight when I first played the game. Awesome episode as usual though, watching this series feels like I'm watching my past self discover the game for the first time.

Capra demon is a hard and frustrating fight. I was also very frustrated with it my first time through. I'm enjoying the series and I think the game gets more fun, and at times difficult, from here.

I know you're probably already aware, but you're really, *really* fucking good at these games. You're a natural, really. You immediately got the counter mechanics in Bloodborne, and the fact it took you just a couple of tries to bring the Capra Demon down to half health without even using the stairs and gate to get the drop on him is awesome for someone's first playthrough. You just got it immediately. I'm still in shock. Can't wait to see what kind of whacky build you'll be using by the end, lol. Keep up the great work! Also, the magic that negates some fall damage can prove very useful in a boss much later on in the game, and the basic soul arrow spell can come in clutch when you need a long-range fix and don't want to spend arrows every time. Both are pretty accessible and handy even without putting any extra points into INT. JSYK.

The title of this video is the best description of that particular boss fight I've seen.

You did wonderful on the Capra Demon fight. It is legendary for being the cheesiest and most stressful for new players. If i recall, that's the smallest arena you'll have to fight a boss in the entire game (apart from the Moonlight Butterfly, which you also defeated). Even fighting Havel (the dude in the tower you found) is easier as you've got quite a bit of space there and you can run around more if you wish. Your instincts are good, with running past him, getting to some safer ground (stairs, instead of consistently trying to fight him and the dogs by the fog gate), even if keeping him at a distance was rough. You persevered and it didn't take 15 tries, so that's something to be proud of ^^ Keep it up, you're better than you think you are!

1;01:40 That was a good attempt. You're learning this fight a whole lot quicker than I did.

Ah yes, I remember the same frustrations as well. But after a long time I reflected on my Capra Demon fight I realized a lot of things: he teaches you not to panic roll, how to fight in narrow/limited spaces, how to control yourself from drinking estus. Congrats on not giving up and going hollow!

There is another multi-enemy boss fight later in the game that is notoriously difficult, but doesn't feel cheap like the Capra demon does. It's hard, but feels more like a challenge than a just... "Don't get stuck in a corner - oh too late you're dead" So well done! You've passed the first of two extremely cheap points of frustration in Dark Souls! The other one isn't a boss fight.

That Capra demon is always a pain. Assuming I get through the initial rush and the dog, I run up the stairs, he follows, I fall off and he does the same, but when he lands, he doesn't do anything for a few seconds, letting me get in like two hits. Then back up the stairs and repeat.

And this is where it all began, empowered by anger and frustration she took the first step to the dark side, the transformation into Evillily start now...

😂 you are a true gamer, don't worry, that fight frustrated everyone. Also you play really well! Trust me, you're doing amazing.

each time you ran up the stairs with your back to everything that could hurt you took about 20 minutes off my life

A tip that a lot of people don't realize even after playing multiple souls games: you can double chug estus. Subsequent chugs after you're already chugging are quicker. I am enjoying the play-through, cheers.

dont feel bad about capra demon Amber! I remember having loads of trouble with it my first playthrough. The beauty and fun about dark souls and all other games after it, is how unfair it can seem and how perserverance can reward you in the end. These games really test your patience and ability to adapt, observe attack patterns and then reward you for learning and overcoming that encounter. That is what makes these games so rewarding and addictive for many people. You did a great job, keep at it!

Perfect editing on the patience meter!! I love the Capra Demon. Not fighting it, certainly NOT! But I've watched way more let's players fight him than I ever will, and that has sparked a lot of joy.

Such a fun episode! And an amazing job on the Capra Demon! It took me so many tries I lost count, and I even stopped being mad haha, it just became this hypnotizing loop, until I finally mastered him.

2:55 This is the same face you might make as a kid finding a stack of loose cash. Knowing it's a big deal but you're not sure what to do with it, so just in case, SCATTER! 😂

"Don't give up, skeleton!" I sincerely hope you rewatch this episode for yourself. I know you hated Crappa Demon (who doesn't?) but he actually broke you out of some bad habits, and it was awesome watching you learn through trial and error. You took out his doggies quick, you started rolling instead of blocking, and you learned that stamina management is worth paying close attention to. Plus, you beat him in the end! Now you should start using running attacks. I think running attacks with the halberd would be a game-changer for you.

You preservered, got to your lowest point, and whether you know it or not, you learned. You began timing your rolls and attacks better, and making use of his slight incapacitation after he jumps from the stairs. There's little ways which you grow each time you get frustrated. That's the journey of Dark Souls

Well done on beating the Capra Demon! Don't worry about it, most people struggle with this boss fight on their first playthrough. I certainly did. Relax, chill, have a nice cool drink and come back feeling refreshed.

You did great, ive done dark souls many times and the Capra demon is my least favorite fight in the game. For future reference the best strategy is get past the dogs, go up the stairs, kill the dogs, when Capra follow you wait for him to fall off then drop attack him for huge damage, rinse and repeat till dead. Also to get past the dragon go up the stair, then back down let the first shot happen then run into the corner behind the stairs, wait till after the next shot then book it. You'll want to have almost no equipment so you're as fast and possible and any fire resistance you can find. Once you get past the dragon will fly away.

The surprised Pikachu face from getting killed by the lil mob the torches at 43:30 was *chefs kiss*

Love your intros and also love "the get right into it" intro! Your sense of spatial awareness is very good. Very nice edits throughout. You noticed the Darkroot Garden level design very well. I am watching another well-known streamer playing his first playthrough and you are so much farther along in a much shorter time. Your fighting style with the shield is very good and your grasp of the menu, items, humanity concept and the level up statistics are just peachy. You are picking up base mechanics much quicker than most. Challenging the Drakes is very bold, and you are understanding the boundaries of where to go and not to go, stellar. I have never seen Havel the Rock chase players that far, hilarious! We all sometimes need to request absolution; it is worth in the end. for "It is only human to commit a sin". You are a true Black Knight Slayer. The Black Knight Sword is a rare drop! My first playthrough I came back when I leveled much higher before I fought any Black Knights, back in the day those things were *tough*. I believe the Remaster changed some elements from the original "at launch" game release OR the young ones these days are just far better. This game is truly one of the BEST, and you are finding mostly ALL of the shortcuts in this well-crafted level design, world that Miyazaki (From Soft) created. Your "Patience Meter" is hilarious!! Capra Demon took me more than 20 times on my first playthrough, you are good don't you worry about those who may be cross, at you. Every NEW player goes through the exact same troubles. Many have quit due to this boss so it is NOT you. From what I saw you got him in less than 10 times which is excellent. The trick to Capra is simply to just run up the stairs and "plunge attack" him, from the top, rinse and repeat. Have a drink and a rest. I believe Capra Demon to be the MOST frustrating Boss in Soulsborne games due to him being such an early boss (and size of room). You have flushed the Capra down the toilet you got past the worst, of it, with style, IMHO. You got a great key now from him! Well Done, Amber! Thanks for your time and sharing! Awesome Editing!! Stay Cool! 😎

Haha I love the Capra, was a real panic inducer on my first playthrough but he isn't so bad if you bait him so you can use plunging attacks. Also I had more poise so I wasn't as easy to stagger. I definitely recommend checking either of those knight sets you picked up again, when your equip load is showing as red that doesn't mean you can't equip it, it just means it is heavier than your current equipment. Look out for the Poise stat on armour too. Really fun playthrough so far, can't wait for next episode!

Welcome to Dark Souls. Frustrations and Satisfaction.

I'll tell you a story about my first time playing Dark Souls. I took much of the journey you have to this point, getting flattened by Black Knights, murdered by Skeletons, gored by the Fangboar. All that good shit. My sticking point was the Gargoyles. Christ, they must've killed me thirty times. I finally beat them, carried on, and eventually ran into the Capra Demon. Yes, he's frustrating. But if it makes you feel better, there's only one boss more frustrating than him, and it's much later in the game. You're doing great. If you need a break, take it. But you've got this when you get back. ♥️

no worries^^ the capra demon is quite possibly the worst enemy encounter in all of soulsborne titles (and I thin the majority of souls players would agree). The fact that DS1's camera is still fairly atrocious heavily compounds the finnicky encounter in the small area with multiple jumpy enemies. still great job, that was like what, 4 tries? iirc i was well into double digits and actually quit the game for a couple of years exactly there^^

Capra is a big difficulty spike and is designed to punish and check certain things- especially the (hidden) poise counter. It is quite difficult for lightly armoured builds with low poise- a heavily armoured tank can block Capra without getting staggered, which makes the fight much much easier. It's quite normal for this boss to take 10+ attempts to a first timer, so you actually did very well- particularly in changing up the tactic from charging in to evasion and fireball.

You did great! That's a famously obnoxious boss fight and you handled it way better than I did my first run-through...

Awesome seeing you beat the Capra Demon so fast. Good fight!

Good Job Amber! this boss is the most unfair of the game indeed. But learning patterns and figuring out how to deal with it is what make the game great! By the way you finished the tutorial area now 😅 Good luck

It's funny watching and thinking wow Amber is being really petulant about the Capra Demon fight, but then realising it was exactly the same for me. It's a shame it soured her experience though, and it didn't give her the ecstatic feeling of victory it should have. Personally I think the fight and the audacity of that arena is genius. For someone who's played it multiple times like me, it's really a cakewalk, as you aren't flapping the entire time, and like any other enemy it's just a matter of block, dodge and attack.

The good news is, now you're past the Capra demon, you wont have to deal with any more unfair scenarios

You defeated the real boss of Dark Souls, the camera. Keep it up, this is great :)

Congrats on beating the Capra Demon. It is one of the more frustrating boss fights and you did well to beat it in only a handful of attempts. That said, there is one boss that takes the frustration crown and that is yet to come...

The capra demon on that small space is just a pain. It function as a bit of a test to new players, almost like they did with father Gascoigne... you either win and end up falling in love with the game or you get stuck and rage.

Capra Demon boss room is probably the worst - most sadistic - boss fight in Dark Souls 1 (there is one worse boss). You were doing surprisingly well considering. Good job dodging!

As far as I'm concerned you did really well! The frustration that the Capra demon creates is actually quite good game design in my opinion. Once you beat him, it is so gratifying. And that run back to him gets so frustrating, lol. You got way further than me way quicker! Thanks for the playthrough, it is very enjoyable!

Your level of frustration is the same as most people who've played. Completely understandable. You're doing good.

You reacted the same way I did to Capra Demon when I first fought it. It's so cool to see!

you got the Basement Key at the Undead Parish. right by the halberd you're using. idk why but that's the part *everyone* gets stuck on the first time through - me included. none of us read the key item description when we pick it up, and then we forget about it. i guess because there's a lot going on in that area and it's a bad place to stop and read? and nah, Capra Demon fight rules. it's a unique challenge, and it asks you to play smart. gives a tight room limiting movement, but also stairs and a ledge, enabling you to run circles around the boss, and get plunging attacks for an easy kill. but if you get anxious and panick, it's super hard. that's great boss design

Capra is a very clumsy way to try to get the player to learn to dodge TOWARD an enemy rather than go with the instinct of constantly backing away. It’s really clear though that the encounter didn’t get the amount of polish it needed. It is a very frustrating fight. But you got through it! There’s only one other boss I can think of that feels quite so unpleasant to fight, but that arena is larger and has no dogs. Whether you choose to keep playing or not, you did conquer the Capra Demon and that’s not nothing!

Just in case you don’t know, you can’t backstab with your shield up. I noticed that when you were fighting the dark knight. Lowering your shield will also let you regain stamina faster. Capra demon is one of the worst boss fights. A lot of people quit because of it. There are tougher fights, but they never feel cheap and mean like this one does.

If I may, well done indeed for that final fight! The quarters were awkwardly close, the enemy annoyingly spry, and the enemy's collision-volume troublesomely large--but you nevertheless prevailed in the end! So, well done again, I say! ^_^

You got this Amber! just keep at it. each boss you face is teaching a lesson in fighting.. This one is opportunity, reflexes in timing and Virtue.

I just found your dark souls videos yesterday, and I love it.

I'm glad you've already posted another dark souls video! Great video. :) Patience meter had me cracking up. As far as your point of being fair - this boss is pretty much one of the most unfair in dark souls, so don't worry it does get better!

Hi Amber, love your videos! Just a bit of advice that may hopefully help you: since you have a light build, you can make so much more out of rolling while in combat. You´ll notice that while rolling you move much faster and that allows you to move around the enemy quicker for those backstabs you love so much. You use a shield so I´m not telling you to stop blocking attacks, but maybe you want to try and roll more while in combat to see if t makes your fights easier. All that being said, I have to add that I´ve never seen anyone enjoying the game so much without raging like a lunatic when things don´t go your way, so, in that sense, you´re years ahead of everyone else!

quick tip: u can go past the dragon if u wait for it behind the walls where you go upstairs, just be patient and it’s gonna fly down on the bridge, just sprint immediately and it’s done

If no one told you yet, the black knight sword you picked up is an amazing OP weapon that can carry you through to the end of the game. Very lucky drop, that guy doesn't always drop it for you.

Grats on beating the Capra Demon! It's honestly one of the walls most new players hit where they either have to learn how to dodge and position correctly or figure out one of the few ways to cheese it. Incidentally, a couple ways you can cheese it are using a weapon that does enough damage to break it's poise in a single blow allowing you to chain stun it, keep looping it up the stairs then attacking when it does the drop animation going off the side, or just stay on the door frame to the side of the stairs and throw fireballs or magic at it. You kinda did a bit of the loop on the stairs one, but honestly you largely beat it with just dodging and positioning, and on top of that you beat it with a polearm, one of the worst weapons for a small area like that because how much your weapon can bounce off stuff. So yeah, big props for that!

See you are enjoying Dark Souls. Awesome. Keep going. I like seeing you play.

Amber don't be so hard on yourself. That boss sucks. You also have an audience which adds more pressure. For your circumstances you did amazing. We all look forward to your return. Dont let any negativity get to you! ❤

I love seeing the way folks react to everything linking back to Firelink. It's either amazement at the world design, a huge wave of relief, or both.

Hello Symbalily, i'm on watching you play Dark Souls with part 4 having a great time watching you play this is a great game hope you are doing well, have an awesome amazing week and Thank You Symbalily.😊😊

You know it's a good Dark Souls LP when you hear "Disasters are gone after the defeat of the gravelord servant" read in the most confused tone of voice.

I thought the capra demon was a bs of a fight in my first playthrough as well. It was super annoying. but i figured that using what i previously learned from the tutorial area such as a simple plunging attack could indeed make things easier. Good job on having great patience btw. I suggest boosting your pyromancer capabilities in the future as your boss decimation cannon if you could also learn how to use the red tearstone ring along with spacing and timing

The real boss was definitely the second dog for me. Really cranked up everything on that fight

Someday you'll look back on the fight with Capra with a weird fondness in your heart. Everyone is like 'this is straight horse hockey, why?' But later on it's hilarious to think back on. They really did make you fight a boss and two dogs in a wash closet. Also, the watchtower basement jumpscare and the drake killing itself were both hilarious! Thank you for playing!

Indeed, this boss was the reason i gave up my original playthrough on PC. Cheers to you making it though and pushing onwards! There's a few more little stumbles in my opinion that are coming, but past those are some more fun moments in the game.

The Crapa Demon is a stinker for sure. But you did it! And as a viewer I can clearly see you getting better at reading attacks and engaging in the combat, so really you did great! Keep your head up but also take a break if you need to. I found myself making more and more mistakes in Dark Souls if I was angry or frustrated. You gotta keep a level head or you’ll go hollow!

first of all, all of your capra demon attempts were impressive!! plus you figured out the stairs strategy so easily, it took me much longer than that!! and also, while i know you know it, soulsborne games can be pretty frustrating at times!! i played bloodborne first and then ds1, and like you, i found ds1 much more frustating, so i took many many breaks while playing, which is fine! however, dont be too hard on yourself, you're doing great and we all hate capra demon heh, best of luck to you amber, you're doing amazing! sending u hugs

Hey Amber, great job so far! Glad you came back to Dark Souls. I have one suggestion: I'd recommend playing offline so you don't get messages on the ground or anything spoiled. If you keep playing that way, you're very sure to see messages that give away all the secrets -- illusory walls, wearing items to discover secrets, stuff you could figure out yourself. That's just me, because I like watching truly blind playthroughs without everything spoiled. But if you're into the experience with messages and invasions and stuff then by all means go ahead.

If there's an NPC around, and you want to break barrels or whatever, try rolling. It'll break the objects without hurting the NPC.

Carpe Demon was the boss that made me rage quit and do the game for almost a year, so the frustration in well deserved. But once you get past him it is smooth sailing, you are doing awesome though ❤! Loving this series so much!!

The Capra Demon was a pain in the backside. It's not that he's particularly hard just that he's got two annoying dogs to help him and you have to fight him in a cubicle! lol

This is definitely the most frustrating fight ! Don't give up you're doing great :)

Your stamina recovers VERY SLOW if you are holding the shield button So, just hold the shield button when the enemy atack will hit you

I have been binging your Bloodborne playthrough in between waiting for episodes of Dark Souls and I have to say I'm so glad I found your channel! Keep up the great work! Edit: I feel your frustration at Capra demon so much! They stick you in a phone booth with a giant demon with two fuck off knives and two dogs! It's a very badly designed boss fight that is intentionally frustrating. The way they expect you to do it is to run in, kill the dogs, bolt up the stairs, and do a drop attack, then run back up the stairs and do another drop attack. The drop attacks wreck him pretty quickly, but most new players either don't know you can do it or don't remember. It sucks. But the rest of the game is better, I promise!

It was that shortcut/path back to Firelink Shrine at 51:12 that made me think 'Oh wow, this world building is truly masterful'. So many links and wraparounds. It's amazing.
