Did you miss the bonfire about halfway into the Undead Burg? It's right after the bridge where the Hellkite Drake swoops in and stands on the bridge before flying off again. You cross that bridge, go up the stars to the left, and there's a bonfire in a little nook to your left!
So I lit the bonfire past the dragon, the one across the bridge opposite sun bro.
It doesn't sound like you missed it, but I added a video below, timestamped right at the bonfire I'm talking about. Once you beat Taurus Demon, and cross the bridge that the Drake is blowing fire onto, about halfway to your right is a stairway down, take those stairs and instead of turning right to go under the Drake, go straight ahead to your left where there is a ladder you can drop down to the bonfire in the video. You shouldn't have to running all the way from Firelink if you've beaten Taurus Demon
Drop attacks on Taurus Demon aren't even cheese. It's definitely a strategy that the developers intended, especially since they draw your attention with an archer shooting at you before the fight starts.
Alright, so I feel better about it then.
Exactly, I don't fight fair in Streets of Rage, Ninja Gaiden, nor Devil May Cry, so I expect the same for these type of games too.
Standing outside the fog door and throwing firebombs over the wall at an extremely specific angle is most certainly the 'wrong way' to do it. You aren't even playing the game at that point.
It's their copy of the game, they can do whatever they want. I didn't even know that was possible and I find it hilarious.
Okay, but you are playing the game. You're not hacking the code or hacking the fundamental programing of the game. Point in case: how many times have you (or anyone) gained souls when an enemy died off-screen not by your hand? The game spawns Capra Demon in a spot of vulnerability that can be exploited. Not the players fault, but the developers' choice. The same developers that fill their games with boobytraps and surprise gank attacks. There may be a point of pride in those who choose to beat their heads against an overtly unfair wall to say they did it the "right way," but there's an equally vocal base who say the efort to luck out during a side-boss fight isn't worth the frustrations when a perfectly acceptable exploit is at the ready which, by the way cost resources and exact timing and measuring... which the game rewards every elsewhere.
Welll…
Speaking as someone who did beat Capra Demon legit: Considering the 'extremely specific angle' part of it, I'm not convinced that that method is 'not even playing the game'. And as @Xprimentyl pointed out, for this fight especially you are missing out on nothing to do it that way.
Am I "not playing" a first-person shooter if I use a sniper rifle and eliminate enemies before they can shoot back?
