First time fighting the Capra Demon, I had a lot of trouble. Dying again and again until I finally got lucky.
Now I have a new sl 10 toon and this time I decided to leave vitality at default 10 and bump endurance to 16. That made all the difference!
With a kite shield +5 and endurance 16, you can simply block his initial attack, circle around, and walk backwards up the stairs with your hp intact. The dogs won't stop you, if you walk backwards up.
Do not turn your back at the Capra Demon!
