Clocking in at about 5.5 hours of trial and error time, I finally was able to beat them. This is part of my first play through series of boss fights. There is no summoning of help so I can enjoy beating them on my own! I will never feel this amazing ever again. I stream Dark Souls every Saturday so check me out if you get the chance.

It's a long fight but I end up killing the gaping dragon. For the record, the nose actually did scare me but I tried to play it off as a joke. Terrifying.
My fourth or fifth attempt at Capra I slayed him. Getting used to the small space was the biggest challenge. Also, I bragged about parrying Havel at the beginning, much as a boss would.
After 30+ deaths, I solo, 2-handed (Long sword +5) the gargoyles. I had to do it just to prove to a lot of people I could do it. I get a little emotional. :3 First play through of DarkSouls PC!
