Demon Ruins

Why so many Capra and Minotours all clustered in the same spot! O.o wth moment is that a Capra demon? Oh wait there are like 10 of em xD

you could always just fall onto the bonfire and skip all the capras

thats training for you, embrace it!

Yeah, my jaw hit the floor when I first saw all of those taurus demons gathered there. I just hung back, and pulled them one by one.

I was pretty disappointed after patch 1.05, the whole area after demons' ruins was nerfed unbelievably, consider yourself lucky, The carpas used to agrro much sooner, and at greater distances. And as soon as you get to Lost Izalith those dino legs used to be a fearsome obstacle! now you can walk between their legs unscathed, what a joke.

Yeah I saw that, so many Rex looking legs, I passed by a few but only 2 of them started chasing/stomping. What are thoose legs weak against anyway?

They are actually the rear bits of Undead Dragons, easy to tell because the other half in the Painted World, try a jump attack and watch what happens

As for weak against? Dragonslayer Bow, with lots of arrows... First playthrough before the nerf I sat at the shortcut and shot each one dead before even setting foot in the room. I do believe they are weak against lightning, but I can't say for certain.

I think their main weakness is... each other, I used to just aggro about 4 of them and hide behind a wall, they eventually kill eachother stomping around and doing those drop attacks. There is really no need to bother with them anymore, they are like scenery.

I didn't know that. I started playing after 1.05, and I always just run by the dino legs. I killed a few the first time but then figured, "Why bother?"

Question: did they lower the Demon Ruins Capra/Taurus Demons' HP with a patch, or has that always been low? I wonder if their HP is so low because From expected me to man-up and charge into them instead of pulling. Pff, they didn't know who they were dealing with.

lol that must of been funny, I had one of those demonic statues after me I just continued running and it got stomped by one of the legs xD how many souls do you get for killing them?

Wiki lists 2000, and that sounds about right.

As far as I can tell the HP was not lowered, but then again I have better equipment since my first run and they go down in about 2-3 swings usually.

I think what they did change is the aggro rate, before it was okay to pull one, but then you went for your next one, and it seemed like no matter how careful you were you got 2, maybe my pulling skills were just rusty, but it seemed like the farther back they were, the sooner they aggro'd pre-1.05.

True the Dinos are pretty pointless now but what if in a future patch there were slabs hidden around that area that would be awesome

Can the demon legs be poisoned? That seems like a great way to take them out.
