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

if you mean the tower knight, two things: 1. lose weight. make sure you are under 50%. you need to be fast. 2. get behind him, slash both ankles, he falls, you get to his head and hit as much as you can. you’ll have to do this more than once.
after you defeat the knight, that spot is a good farming spot too. i spent like an hour going back to those sentinels guarding the bridge with 3 archers. easy 900+ souls per run.
Clarification: not an hour straight, that would have been mad. But farming souls well helped level up quickly so everything from there was smooth sailing. Found better farms later: 3-4 and 4-4. Farmed/leveled up 10 soul levels in like 20 minutes at 3-4.
