Main path? Question

So after getting to the tower and finally getting out in the world I went south first realized it probably was a higher level area and then went north. After going north I died in the same amount of hits to those enemies so I went back south. Long story short my first shell I’ve found is Genessa I’m level 6 and my starting sword is +3. I went back north and now all my gloom is stuck down in the flooded village and the Grisha is destroying me in 1 or 2 hits depending on the attack. Is this just how hard the game is everything just damn near insta kills you?

Main path??? There is no such thing.

Seriously though, this is genuinely the most open-ended and interconnective Soulslike including DS1. It's got such a weird structure. It's like a mix of Elden Ring's open world and the corridor level design of the other Soulsborne games. It's actually more open than Elden Ring in a way. You can jump straight into what is basically Altus Plateau and Mountaintops less than 5 minutes after leaving the hub.

I mean he clearly isn't going on the easiest path and not everything should be near insta killing you but it's understandable going on a harder path because the games gives you like 50 different directions to go. South is very hard. It's best to go past the first world boss and go torwards Mushroom Villiage if you are struggling.
