Taurus Demon are also weak to Thunder I believe. Although I didn;t use a thunder enchant to weapon because i was using the BK GS and it cant be enchanted. Though I believe it took me 2 jump attacks to kill it back then.

Remember there is a shortcut through sen's with the cage key once you get it done The silver one :o
i found that gate but dont know how to get out on the other side: tbh i ragequit cause i cant get back to the bonfire cause the guillotine traps are ***.

You just need to watch the guillotine traps and learn their timing. It's really not that hard, check an LP or how-to on Youtube. There's a bunch and they'll help you out. Some of them you need to run straight through others you need to run one or two and then stop.
Once you're nearly to the top of Sen's fortress there's two sets of narrow up high things you have to run around. The second has a skeleton archer (remember this for later). The first has a broken path way which will lead you to the Crestfallen Merchant (his stuff is 50% overpriced). Go down the very long stairs into the tower he's in across the gap and you can find a Cage Key. It'll open the cages in the tower including the one Big Hat Logan is in if you didn't pick the Master Key for some reason.
Cross the gap again and keep going up and after the skeleton archer in the room with the fog gate to the golem fight and with the spiral staircase to the giant that tosses explodey fireballs at you are two chain suspended iron cages. Use the cage key to unlock one run into and out of it briefly and you've activated the shortcut that goes to the bottom of Sen's by the third Man-Serpent you'll encounter on the walkway. You can take it down and back up to see where it goes exactly.
Keep trying. Sen's Fortress is infuriating your first few times through it, but once you figure out how stuff works, know where the bonfire is, and know how to unlock the shortcut you can get through it speedrun style in a couple minutes barring some bad luck.
Happy Dark Soulsing!

You can still reach the top of Sen's via Anor Londo then unlock the elevator.

I finally joined the Soul Level One club! ^^
The Brothers can suck it... And Gwyn was rough till I figured out the trick. Was fun though, if not infuriating at times. Working on NG+ now ^^
Just wanted to share.
Edit:: Took just under 17 hours to beat. I skipped the DLC though, will get it on my NG+ though.

Only 17 hours to clear Dark Souls? Did I suck that bad, or did you have tons of walkthroughs? I must have clocked at least 40 on my first and only playthrough.
By Kalila 2013-07-29 21:07:18
I'm very thorough when I play games, so going 40 hours a playthrough isn't uncommon for me.

At least twelve hours of my playtime was trying to find the Tomb of the Giants... Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks the entrance is hard as *** to find if you don't know where it already is...

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks the entrance is hard as *** to find if you don't know where it already is... ._.; I found it pretty easily in the first hour or so but I wander everywhere I can when it comes to open ended games.Scratch that, confusing it with the catacombs. Granted it was linked pretty heavily in my mind when I heard tomb of the Giants so I just instantly assume a connection. Probably part of the reason I ended up killing Sif right after Moonlight Butterfly rather than going to the Depths. ._.; "instead of choosing an ending just go live with Priscilla or something" :< She likes me better though :< Nuh-uh, she offered me her fluffy tail!

The path to the first bell is pretty linear (even while "exploring")...knowing where the second bell is...*** IF I KNOW MANG! Anor Londo? What/Where is that Frampt!?
I know i spent a few hours wondering how to get to some other places/what order i should be doing things in and just soul farming out of frustration >_>'

I found it pretty easily my first time through, but it was scary as fk for me with no light source...
I made it through, made me love the area so much because of that experience.
