I've given up....for now
I'm at Ornstein and Smough, i have no humanity so i have to keep farming for it from the painting guardians, summon Solaire, die, repeat process. Im just not enjoying it at the moment. Parts of dark souls do make you think " am i going to get past this bit!?" But with patience its doable but this doesnt seem like a challenge anymore and just tiring. I may go back to it, i may have to farm some humanity from the depths and do it but urgh. 20 hours in too!!!
