How many times can I die in Dark Souls (Playthrough)

Board 8

okay, probably need to adjust my senses more to defending than dodging
I am used to having bosses with more open space
but Taurus Demon was having none of that, and killed me once because I couldnt maneuver well
thank god one of those hollows dropped an axe for me
