Capra Demon is a Boss in Dark Souls.
Information
The Capra Demon is the boss of the Lower Undead Burg. You can get to him via the main street (past the Undead Assassins and Undead Dogs), or by the shortcut in the aqueduct in Firelink Shrine after you unlock it.
This boss is highly susceptible to fire, any variation of the Firebomb or a Charcoal Pine Resin-coated weapon is recommended.
This particular boss is later found in packs, in the Demon Ruins, where they can be farmed for souls and their weapon.

Capra Demon Boss Guide & Strategies
Attacks
Horizontal Swing
The Capra Demon uses horizontal swings, with his Demon Great Machetes, that are fairly easy to see coming due to the wind up. After the wind up they will quickly swing, however it is possible to dodge in between swings quite easily, even with a medium roll speed. Usually used in succession, 2-3 times in a row.
Double Machete Swing
Quite frequently the Capra Demon will line his Machetes up together, as if he was two handing a greater demon great machete, making a powerful two handed swing. This attack is best avoided since it will easily break guard and deal extra damage, this is one of his easiest attacks to see coming since he takes the time to put his weapons together then wind up the swing.
Machete Slam
Another attack of the Capra Demon is a jumping attack, slamming his weapons down. This can be fairly easily dodged; when doing this attack he does leap roughly a weapons length forwards so be wary. It can break guards quite easily and hits very hard, the attack actually is fairly quick, all things considered. Whenever just outside of the Capra's reach, he has a good chance of doing this attack to close the space. If he is able to land this attack, the player is slammed into the ground, leaving them stunned for a short period of time however are invulnerable during this period.
Attack Dogs
The Undead Dogs in this arena are a serious threat to the player, as dealing with the two of them and the Capra Demon simultaneously, can land you in some very sticky situations. They will move swiftly to rush the player, attempting to get in quick hits, and stagger the player, for the Capra Demon to capitalize on. Their bites and swings will inflict bleed damage on the player so it is advised to block every strike, even if their normal damage can be tanked.
Stagger
While not exactly an attack, any enemy that falls atop the player will stagger the character. With this in mind, if the Capra falls from above on the stairs and onto the player it will deal a bit of damage, a very minute amount, but this will leave the player open to one of the Capra Demon's more dangerous attacks.
Tips
- You can summon help, right outside the boss fog gate, although, it takes a few moments for your support to arrive once you've crossed the fog gate.
- After killing the dogs, it's possible to run halfway up the steps and get the demon stuck on the side of the staircase. Lob some firebombs and its over. Also making yourself lighter makes it easier to dodge.
- Using Iron Flesh will make this an easy fight as he can barely damage you.
- The boss can be staggered, much like the normal enemy versions by using heavy weaponry (Zweihander, Claymore etc...)
- If you have a decent poise and a weapon dealing about 300 damage, you can just enter the area and start swinging. The demon will hit you once or twice, but will die before it can kill you.
- You can do a plunging attack if you are going up the stairs and he is coming to the base of the stairs. This can be a good way to do quick damage.
- He will do his heavy attack only if you are far from him. run towards the Capra as soon as you enter the room to avoid immediately being hit by this attack and do not run too far from him during the fight. This will help a lot.
Capra Demon Dark Souls farming
Additional groups of Capra Demons can be found in Demon Ruins. Once you've beaten Ceaseless Discharge and the lava lake has hardened, there is an area on the far right of the lava lake, with several Capra Demons. If you manage to make it past all of them and to the bonfire below them, you can rest and then kill the demon closest to the bonfire, over and over again (if it's easy for you). If you die, you spawn right there so there's no need to venture a great distance to retrieve your stuff. It can be a long process but it can also be effective for gaining decently easy experience and possibly their Demon Great Machete. Like many demons, these are very susceptible to poison arrows, and can be killed at range with just a few poisoned arrows, if one has the patience.

Strategy 1
Upon entering the arena, be prepared for immediate attacks from all three enemies. Begin by circling to the right to avoid the boss’s initial powerful swing, then quickly run up the stairs on the left side of the arena. The dogs should follow you up the stairs; use this opportunity to eliminate them, significantly easing the battle. If the dogs don’t follow, try to lure them up the stairs, which will likely draw the Capra Demon as well.
Quickly dispatching the dogs is crucial for winning this fight, as they can easily stun-lock you, leaving you vulnerable to a fatal blow from the Capra Demon. If the Capra Demon follows you up the stairs before you’ve managed to kill the dogs, don’t hesitate to drop down and put some distance between you and the boss. Use this time to regroup and make another attempt at eliminating the dogs.
Strategy 1a - Mano-a-Mano
Once the dogs are dealt with, back up along the narrow stone bridge at the top of the stairs. Avoid moving all the way to the wall, as doing so can lead to the Capra Demon crowding you in a dangerous position. While you might not be hit if you’re close to the wall, it is safer to maintain some distance and keep your guard up. If you stay away from the wall, the Capra Demon will likely attempt a jump attack from the stairs, which should miss entirely. From this position, you can execute a plunging attack (RB + above the enemy) on him from the stairs, dealing substantial damage and making the rest of the battle significantly easier. From here, there are two sub-strategies to employ:
- The best thing to do after you've gotten the is lure the boss all the way to the top of the stairs. Guard with your shield and wait for him to swing a few times and get really close to you. Then you can get in a few swings with your weapon before he falls off. If you fall off with him, run back up to the top of the stairs. Rinse and repeat until he dies.
- If you feel like going toe-to-toe, just keep a close eye on his attacks. The two-sword swing can't be blocked entirely but can be easily evaded and you may be able to get a hit off before he recovers. His leaping attack is also useful for getting in a hit or two; if you're at close range and manage to slip to the side his back will be to you.
Strategy 1b - Plunge & Repeat
As described earlier, run to the right to position yourself on the narrow shelf. Stand in the middle of the ledge, keeping in mind that the Capra Demon may follow you. If he does come up onto the ledge with you, drop down and run away. Typically, the demon will follow you by dropping down after a few seconds. If you then run back up the stairs as the demon descends, it will often turn to face you, momentarily becoming "stuck" as it attempts to maintain its targeting.
While running back up, be prepared for the demon’s attacks, but it will likely miss since it will be aiming for a spot behind and below you. Stay alert and block if necessary. Once you’re back on the ledge, the Capra Demon will be directly below you, vulnerable to a plunging attack (RB + above the enemy). Use this opportunity to deal significant damage and repeat the process to make quick work of the boss.
Strategy 2 - Tank
Strategy Preparations
- SHIELD, unlike the two above strategies which rely on mobility and running up the stairs, this strategy relies on having a good shield with the highest stability you can manage. By this point in the game, you should be able to obtain a fairly good shield - the three best options at this point, being the Black Knight Shield (if the odds were in your favor for a Black Knight drop), the Balder Shield (which you can farm from Balder Knights in the Undead Parish), and the Caduceus Kite Shield (which you can buy from Andre of Astora). Whichever of these you can find, choose whichever one you can get to have the highest Stability (upgraded to +5, the Balder Shield is better than the Caduceus Kite Shield, but not by a lot, and if you have found enough Twinkling Titanite to get the Black Knight Shield to +3, it beats out the other two).
- ARMOR, the heaviest you can find. The Stone Knight Set is good - if you've already visited Darkroot Garden - otherwise, just equip the heaviest, most physically-defensive armor you can; for this strategy, you want to pretty much stand still at the fog door, so mobility really isn't necessary - but defense and poise can keep you alive if you don't manage to block an attack in time.
- RINGS, the best choices are probably the Ring of Favor and Protection and the Blue Tearstone Ring; these should help to keep you alive. While Havel's Ring will give you improved mobility, that isn't the point of this strategy.
- WEAPON, the Drake Sword is probably the best option, but if you've found anything that does more damage that you can effectively one-hand, use it. Ideally, you want to be able to kill a demon dog in one swing or else they can overwhelm your guard.
So, now that you're ready, here's what you do:
Enter the fog door, raise your shield and stand still; the Capra Demon should start running at you, as well as the Undead Dog at the top of the stairs. The second one will actually remain in its little alcove unless you run farther into the area, so stand your ground.
Block the Capra Demon's first attack and the first Dog's first lunge - they should come within about a second of each other - then take the opportunity to kill off the Undead Dog. Now, you should be able to tank everything the boss can throw at you.
Keep on the defensive! If the boss is attacking, keep your shield up! If he's not attacking, lower your shield so your stamina recharges faster. Keep a close eye on his attack patterns and learn when to block and when to lower your shield; you shouldn't have any problem tanking his attacks if you remember to lower your shield when he's not attacking. If you cannot manage your stamina bar for this fight, you WILL run out of stamina and he WILL break your guard. Once you've learned his attack patterns, wait for an opportunity to attack between his swings. Remember, though, that attacking also drains your stamina, so only attack if he gives you an opportunity AND you will have the stamina afterwards to block his attacks.
- Keep doing this until he's dead - then you can waddle (running just doesn't describe how you move in heavy armor) farther into the area and kill the second Undead Dog.
Strategy 3 - Cheesebombs
The Capra Demon can be beaten without actually stepping into the boss arena. If you have a bow, and a few firebombs you can take it down with ease. You stand against a wall on the bridge just before the Capra Demon's fog gate, and push as far into the corner as you can. Aim your bow above the boss arena at the 3rd (from the left ) battlement off in the distance. Proceed to throw firebombs before resetting. Should only you take you 3 goes at it, and on the final go you can throw a fifth one and it will still hit.
You need:
- 6 Firebombs and 4 Black Firebombs, or 15 Normal Firebombs
- A bow ( just to aim with, no need for arrows)
Strategy 4 - Sniper
Upon entering the boss arena, quickly make your way past the dogs and head towards the staircase, rolling to avoid the Capra Demon’s initial attack. Once at the top of the staircase, move across the large stone archway and take cover in the corner. From this position, you can easily deal with the dogs and start attacking the Capra Demon with a bow. While he may step onto the archway and swing at you, his attacks will generally go over your head. Additionally, he might attempt to leap from the top of the staircase, although this leap rarely lands a hit on you. This is an easy way to cheese the fight and you only need:
- A bow (any kind that you can use)
- About 100 arrows (may take more or less depending on your damage output)

This is officially the worst boss in all souls-born games. You are driven into a hole with 3 crazy and blindly attacking enemies. One of those fights where it doesn't matter who you are or what you do, all that matters is how much HP you have, what armor you have and how much your weapon is upgraded.

TLDR: Scroll for better advice lol, this fight is so jank
Get lucky and kill the dogs early, then just run up the stairs, wait for him to follow u and fall. For a decent bit after he falls he is locked into his fall recovery animation. Hit him once and repeat.

If someone has still somehow problems with this boss...
1) Wear full Stone Knight Armor + Wolf Ring before fog gate.
2) Grab your strongest weapon with two hands and spam light attack (R1).
3) Heal if needed and keep attacking.
4) Ez and fast win no matter what class or stats you have, probably quicker and easier than Asylum or Taurus demons.
YOU DON'T NEED: luck, strategy, skill, git gut, moving anywhere, rolling, evading, dodging, blocking, special positioning, climbing stairs, casting spells, getting over-leveled, exploiting with firebombs or dung pies.
Literally every casual can do it.

I am convinced that they messed up the dogs spawn and jsut went "Well it will make the boss harder leave it like that", becouse those two dogs keep spawning after the boss is defeated.

Don't over-complicate it.
Use the wolf ring to withstand two dog bites without stagger. Upgrade your armor and vitality.
Don't lock on, just focus on dodging the Capra and not getting cornered. This allows you to roll in more than 4 directions and to not deal with your camera jittering against the wall behind you. Use a weapon with a wide swinging arc to help with the lack of lock-on.

Here's a "real" strategy (all strats are legit to me but some people hate cheese) to consistently win this fight or at least have better chance of doing so:
>equip enough poise to not stagger to 1 dog attack (21 poise or just equip wolf ring)
>get a weapon with a fast move that kills dogs in 1 hit or at least a very fast one that kills in 2 hits (roll attacks are good for this)
>walk through fog gate
>walk just a bit forward to trigger capra demon attack and get the attention of a single dog then run/roll back to dodge
>after dodging capra the stairs dog should be right next to you so you kill it while capra is winding up
>now just dodge around capra and go kill the other dog that's behind the wall
>fight capra 1v1 which is pretty simple, just don't get baited into attacking when he's doing the 2 hit combo
For me this is more consistent than running up the stairs to kill the dogs, and more accessible than tanking early game
Don't feel shy about using the exploit to throw bombs over the boss's area. There is already a consensus among the community that this battle is extremely unbearable due to the dogs, little space and the arduous path to reach the boss. If the boss was just the capra demon, or if there was at least just a dog with him, it would be the difficulty we are used to with the souls series. But adding TWO dogs was too much.
Super difficult battles like Kos, Malenia, Artorias, etc... are typical boss fights from the souls series, but this battle against the capra demon From Software overdid it on the players

I'm so glad I played Dark Souls when it came out, and people were just chill with it. If it was up to "modern audiences" they'd keep complaining until the boss gets nerfed, and enough changes are made to the game to a point that the whole game loses it's identity.

Go up the stairs, kill the dogs and fight Capra Demon 1v1. You don't want the dogs to stunlock you on the way to the stairs, so have poise and a shield, but dodge the heavy attacks from the Capra Demon.
This boss is the GOAT.
I mean look at his head. He literally goat

Here I thought I was going to Lordran to ignite the Flame but then this Omenkiller from the Lands Between showed up and decided to turn the Undead Burg into the Albinauric village, he even brought his dogs with him… Needless to say, I think Sir Gideon is looking for a pasty looking synthetic lady with a wolf obsession around these parts.

There’s always so much salt anytime people are defeated by a boss, whining and complaining about how this or that isn’t fair and it’s the games fault they died. These people seemingly fail to realize that a large part of the game is death and your not expected to survive the entirety of the game on your first life. The whole point is to overcome the odds by become more skillful and wise, then to have the satisfaction and accomplishment of truly besting your opponents fairly through great effort. When you get angry and give up or cheese that is you going hollow.

I like how this boss is bullshit difficult until you manage to get to the stairs without being instantly bodyblocked so you can easily kill the dogs one by one.
Once the dogs are dead this boss is an extremely easy 1v1, shitty camera+arena aside, 6 or so unique attacks which are all extremely telegraphed and a relatively low health bar makes this **** an absolute joke on his own.
It's really obvious that they knew he was too easy and instead of doing anything to the capra demon himself that would actually make him hard they put him in a tiny arena with two dogs so you'd get easily bodyblocked/stunlocked to death.
Why do these early-game DS1 bosses suck so ****ing much? Especially in comparison to later games, these guys are lame and are really easy unless fromsoft gives them some retarded advantage lmao
He is truly deserving of the nickname; "The Crapra Demon"

This boss had so much wasted potential in my opinion, he has one of the sickest designs in all the trilogy, yet, his dogs just make the fight annoyingly hard, and when you're done with them, he goes down without much effort. I've played a mod called "Age of sunlight" recently, and they reworked the boss fight, and it was much more cool, i'd recommend yall to check the fight out on youtube if possible.

This boss is unironically brilliant. Hear me out. You go in the fog gate expecting either a new area or an arena style boss fight. Asylum Demon, Taurus Demon, Bell Gargoyles, and maybe Moonlight Butterfly are the only bosses most new players fight before and all have a slow "introduction" before the fight begins.
Capra Demon? No. You fight in the criminal-filled Lower Undead Burg. And when you think about it, why should you expect a fair fight there?
This fight is like getting jumped in an alley, it's a cheap and unfair move in stark contrast to all the fights before and sets a new tone that puts you on edge before you enter the Depths and Blighttown.

Everyone knows why this boss sucks, but people don’t hate on this dude’s runback enough. Either you use the ‘shortcut’ to Firelink Shrine that makes the run longer so you can face less enemies, or you have to face like 5 thieves and 5 dogs in a super cramped space which makes it hard to swing a sword before you even to the demon. It’s a brilliant setup for the 2 dogs and fast demon in a cramped space. I can beat this boss reliably but god he makes using the master key so tempting.

1.You can also use dung pies instead of firebomb
2.DONT USE HEAVY WEAPON WHEN DOGS ARE STILL THERE!
3.there are some weapons I suggest:
Halberd,zweihander,black knight sword,claymore,astora straight sword,drake sword
4.use charcoal pine resin
Just don't forget using grass crest shield to recover stamina faster
And upgrade your weapon and armor by farming souls and buying titanite from andre for reinforcement

Buying charcoal pine resin at the female undead merchant, in order to buff my weapon before entering the fog, for one shotting the godamn dogs.

The best strategy for this is get the Zwelinder equiped and a straight sword equipped when you enter go to the right corner and kill the dogs when they attack. Then get the Zwelinder and spam RMB on the dude. Go up the stairs and let him follow you. Then Rmb him and jum off the stairs and let him follow you. Do this yntil he is dead.

I get why everyone hates this boss, but I think it's incredibly well done from a design standpoint. I think of it as the final exam of the tutorialisation phase of Dark Souls - making sure you understand most of the mechanics and viable strategies that the game has introduced or you have found out by yourself (cheeese) - all under HIGH PRESSURE
10/10 would recommend this boss to anyone that need their sphincter stretched and brutalized. I think felt more violated here than in a threesome with male gorillas... Gud luck sun-bros!

this guy is the worst boss in the game. 2 seconds after you go to the arena you get ass blasted and get killed. its complete bullshit. the arena sucks. a perfect boss needs 4 things in my opinion.
1.music : the music is just meh for this guy
2.lore : there is some **** here so i guess he does have this
3.atmosphere : what atmosphere? the arena sucks man
4. the gameplay : like i said you get ass blasted in 2 secs
1 out of 4
This is probably my least favorite boss in the entire series. Bed of Chaos has a worse design (anything that requires a leap of faith is bad) and Demon of Hatred somehow wandered into the wrong game, but neither of them are even close to being as unfun as this thing is
