{BOSS}Helkite Bridge Hints & Tips:
Worthy loot: Claymore (103dmg standard - 16 strength 10 dexterity requirement - strength(C) & dexterity(C) scaled)
Drake Sword (200 damage standard - 16 strength 10 dexterity requirement - no stat scaling)
White Soulstone (allows for summoning of other players)
Homeward Bone (1) (single use item, instantly returns you to the last bonfire you rested)
As soon as you enter this area, look to your left and you will see a friendly NPC:
{NPC} Solaire of Astora
Solaire is extremely useful for solo players to take down bosses as he will aid the player when they are in human form throughout the game, and he also gives you several useful items, speak to him and say 'yes' to every option.
THE BRIDGE
This part will catch most players out, all you have to do is run approximately 3 or 4 meters out onto the bridge, quickly turn around and run back towards Solaire. This will avoid the ambush and that would have killed you, now you should see the Helkite sitting ontop of the Castle at the adjacent end of the bridge, make a mad dash for the middle of the bridge and duck down the stairs to your right.
If you have a bow equipped you can stand in one of the two alcoves (I recommend the one on the left) in the center of the bridge, from here shoot the Helkite and he should dismount the building and land right next to you. DO NOT PANIC, simply run underneath his legs and make a second mad dash for the building he was guarding, DO NOT ENTER IT, simply veer to the right to a second alcove and wait for him to stop breathing fire, then make your way into the large building and immediately head to the balcony on your right. If you do not, the Helkite will most likely fire a second slew of fire that will completely engulf the entire room and kill you. Once you have done this, wait on the balcony and he should remount the Castle, as you head out to the bridge, he will flee and will not return until you come back later. You will now see several lootable bodies, one of which contains the Claymore.
To obtain the Drake Sword, after you have made it underneath the bridge, make sure to have a bow & arrow equipped and shoot it until it drops the Drake Sword, once it has dropped this cease fire as it cannot fall below 60% HP

Darkroot Garden Hints & Tips:
Attack this wall to reveal a secret bonfire - Picture of Bonfire
You can purchase the Crest of Artorias from the Blacksmith to open this, inside are several high level enemies that yield incredible drops and large amounts of souls, they are also part of the Forest Covenant. (Fun fact: the enemies are all the generic starting classes formed into NPC's)
This area is the route you will take if you don't buy the Crest (its recommended you buy it). Down here you will find tons of treasure including the Elite Knight Armor which is considered the best overall level 1-50 armor available
On your way down, you will come across this alcove next to the fog gate, be wary as you will be ambushed by these Treeants when you pick up the loot.
You can attack them before they spring up for a free kill, note that they will be invulnerable after the first hit for a short period of time, avoid wasting your stamina and wait a few seconds before continuing your assault.
Here you will find the Elite Knight Armor. - Elite Knight Armor picture
Be wary as there are 3 Stone giants and 4 Treeants in the area that will ambush you as you approach the Armor.
{BOSS}Crystal Butterfly Hints & Tips:
Before you start this fight, if you are in human form you can summon the Witch Beatrice to assist you in the fight, I highly recommend this as doing so will unlock the ability to summon her again later on. She is of some use and can take some damage and deal some damage, but she isn't required even for a beginner, as this boss is extremely easy.
The boss has 4 attacks, each having a very similar method for avoiding.
Fast Soul Arrows: Roll towards the boss and into the wall as soon as they fire (noise cue is the most reliable telegraph)
Slow Soul Arrows: Wait and roll to the side when they get close.
Explosion: Simple, when the boss floats down to the wall and presents its ass for a whoopin, it will eventually cause an explosion, easy to avoid, no tip required.
Beam: You may not always see this, depends how fast you are, the boss may at some point do a funny beam attack, best way to avoid this is to just leg it to the end of the arena which is furthest away, or you can simply roll towards & under the beam as it gets close to you.

Monster Hints & Tips:
{MINI BOSS}Black Knight - Video Strategy - Voorhees1979
{MINI BOSS}Armored Boar - Video Strategy - Voorhees1979
{MINI BOSS}Titanite Demon
{MINI BOSS}Undead Dragon
Plague Giants
In these pictures Voorhees had already done the area so you wont see the Black Knight but you will see the location. You need about 15-20 firebombs from the first merchant hidden downstairs at the start. Attack him and run!
Make your way back to the terrace that houses the tower with the Undead Crossbowman, now climb the ladder to this area:
Once you are up there, stand at the top of the ladder and bombard the Black Knight with firebombs while he wanders around below.

{MINI BOSS}Titanite Demon
Ranged: Video Strategy - Voorhees1979
Melee: you just have to know where to stand.
The trick is to stand next to his left (missing) leg and rotate counter-clockwise, this will allow you avoid his magic (he won't use it) and melee (he can't actually hit you). The only thing you have to watch out for is his leap attack, however you can just roll in pretty much any direction to avoid it.
Arrows might be safe for 1-2 of the demons but for a few it's nearly impossible due to their locations and their health goes up impressively towards the end of the game, meaning it will take a hell of a long time and a lot of arrows. The melee method is slightly more risky but only marginally and is considerably faster.

Shoot the Undead Dragon for an easy kill, free 3000 souls, a free dragonscale, a free faith scaled sword, a high fire resistance shield and a strong consumable soul. Costs 100-300 wooden arrows (3 souls each) depending on Dex + bow strength.
These guys are near the Undead Dragon, they are easy enough to kill, but they are surprisingly vulnerable to backstabbing and have slow turning speeds. They are found throughout the swamps and shanties of Blighttown.
