There is a glitch, but I don't know if it still works. If you jump attack the dragon, he'll stand up and let you pass.

Another shortcut is dropping down from the first bridge into the courtyard with the phalanx. Heal, and then open the shortcut to the bonfire. Coming back into the courtyard, if you go right and up the stairs, then down the ladder, you'll come into a big room. There will be a wheel in there - turn it, and you'll have a path from the bonfire to the exit.
