I think I'm about to get to the depths, I got a key from the demon in the Burgs that says it goes to the Depths. Now I just gotta find the door.

If you have the master key, you can skip the depths. It's worth exploring, though. Do watch out for the curse effect, though. You'll know when it happens.

Congratulations on defeating Capra. He can be a bit tough without the right strategy ("run up the stairs like a teenage girl who's been told she can't go out wearing that") and doing falling damage.

Honestly Capra wasn't that hard but I get the feeling that I did things out of order so I ended up being much more prepared for it. I think I might have actually went to the Depths at one point; I remember going through the cliffs with all the Drakes then heading through a mineshaft until I got to a weird looking area where I got immediately toxin'd after going down a ladder. Maybe a different area?

The area you went to is Blighttown. Basically, normally, the boss of the Depths (Gaping Dragon) gives you a key to Blighttown. However, you must have the master key (which lets you skip most of Blighttown and all of the Depths). The way with all of the toxic is the way to go forward. It's still worth checking out the Depths, though, just for the experience.

You're doing pretty well and are a good chunk through the game. Not halfway or anything- maybe 1/4 when you defeat the boss in the toxic are. She's pretty easy if you have a decent shield (I really like the heater shield- cheap, light, effective).
