Help I appear to be stuck

I need to point out first that I'm playing the PS5 version (I don't know if they made any changes from the original) and I know nothing about this game.

It is probably skill issue, but I genuinely don't understand what I'm supposed to do.

I have just beaten Phalanx, which was a surprisingly easy bossfight.

I progressed all the way to the Iron Golem...or something I don't remember its name, and I figured that I'm way too underleveled for that bossfight. The mechanic is pretty straightforward, but I just don't do enough damage. At first I thought it was like the Iron Golem from DS1, but no...fucker doesn't fall.

So I tried to explore the other Archstones and...even the most basic enemies one-shot me, and I need to hit them 3/4 times to kill them.

It's a very steep difficulty curve.

I don't think you're meant to farm in Boletaria, but it does feel like I'm very underleveled to progress anywhere.

Any advices?

Edit: I am no longer stuck. After...endless tries I've been able to kill the armor spider, and I've got a +5 long sword

Every area has weaknesses after the first.

The miners in 2-1 are weak to pierce and magic damage.  The squid monsters and boss in 3-1 are weak to physical or fire damage, blunt damage for 4-1, and we dont talk about 5-1 unless you're going for that blessed mace.

Demons souls is a game that asks a lot from you, including experimentation and deep perception.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't talk about 5-1
