For almost everyone the first Boss you encounter is the Taurus Demon at the top of Undead Burg. At first this guy may be a big challenge until you learn the Demons moves. A heap more Taurus Demons can be found later in the game in Demon Ruins.

• Kill the Archers above the Fog Gate before anything else.
• Take note of the hole on the bridge, and stay away from it.
• Don't back away, instead charge in a roll to either side or even between the legs and get behind the first attack.
• Try to stay behind, attack, move, repeat.
• Firebombs work well, so do fire weapons for attacks.
• Try to get back up to the where the Archers were and perform a Drop Attack. This is very easy if you have Summoned someone to help you as they will often wait at the top while you start the fight an sprint back to the ladder.

• From a distance, shoot an arrow at the closest one to get them to come to you one at a time.
• It is possible to use Poison Arrows and the Ring of Fog from a long distance to poison them. Takes about 3 arrows infect them.
