You really have to stop this shit. A good quarter of the zones and bosses in Dark Souls are abject shit, there is backtracking out the absolute ass, key NPCs, merchants, and quest givers are on complete opposite sides of the world, and the 1:1 scale open world just starts to fall apart at the seams as the game goes on, with giant empty hallways of nothingness to disguise loading screens, huge empty rooms just to make a zone mesh neatly with another zone, and multiple zones of complete filler that serve only to connect different areas together. It's no coincidence the two strongest zones by far, Sen's Fortress and Painted World, are both self-contained.
Dark Souls has some high highs, but some of the lowest lows, you could cut out a good 30-40% of the game and it would be much better for it. It's honestly the weakest of the four Souls games, unless you're just a complete sucker for interconnected metroidvania worlds to the point where you ignore its gaping flaws.
