You're really close to a few really important ways to go, literally just past the little part where you are now. The regular enemies (I guess you mean below where the metal boar was) are easy to take out, just block their hit and then a slash or two will kill them.
they're not too bad, it's in the next room - I get rushed down by these weird red thin people and stun locked.You're really close to a few really important ways to go, literally just past the little part where you are now.

Don't rush, take out each enemy one by one, or as few as possible. You aggro a bunch of enemies you're probably just going to get stunlocked or guard broken (blocking when you have no or little stamina). Seriously you're so close to some really helpful things.
I have a bonfire under the bridge, do you mean that one? Because if I try and run into the building under the dragon it sets me on fire.

Managed it, thanks
I'm using a hand axe which is quite stubby so when there's many of them very close to me it's still not much use unfortunately :/
playing it for the first time and trying to play as blind as possible, as I did Bloodborne 
It's absolutely possible to get the Great Sythe that early, it's only about 25% the way in to the Catacombs. If you take some poison arrows with you to deal with the Necromancers from afar it's a doddle. The quicker you ditch the Drake Sword the better imo.
Nice, congrats! \[ ]/ Jolly Coop~~
How'd you even find out about the drake sword? ~_~ I don't recommend using it at all, it kind of ruins some of the essential skills you're supposed to learn in the early game since it is super OP for now.
iirc, yes.
Ah yes. That's one of the best "the real Souls starts here" moments.
It does show it in the scaling for the weapon what sort of build do you want to use?
Capra is going to teach you 4 things: light roll is key, two-hand your weapon for more damage, don't get greedy when you have an opening, and use the environment if possible.
ATM I'm running with a battle axe + light shield and my weight is low enough that I get light roll. But I can't seem to do anything upon entering that room - I get rushed down by the dogs and no matter which way I roll Capra demon seems to track me.
Yeah it's been really hit or miss for me. I think it was working Saturday but I played a bunch Sunday and didn't see any messages or anything. Not sure what's going on.
Usually most go to the depths after parish on their first run, but with the basilisk once you've seen it its easy to avoid.
