This is my first play through and I'm a level 29 thief. I've been stuck for almost 3 hours. Whenever I clear the path towards the boss fight, the first thing I do when I traverse the white light is die. Every single time.

So, I just read the boss fight is optional, and I can go to Blightown on a different route. If I do this, is the Capra Demon still available to battle after an X amount of time? Or will I lose the possibility to fight him?

Thanks in advance.
