I had trouble with the wolf (Sif), because its hits eat your stamina so heavily. But learning to dodge and get beneath it to attack really makes that fight a breeze.
(also the Hydra was my first true holy shit moment in the game).
Same here. I still think that battle is super impressive-looking. And it's not even really a boss.
When i went back to other areas, like the Depths and New Londo Ruins, it felt a bit like i should've went through those first and the Gardens/Basin later, cause the enemies seemed harder in the Gardens. But there's no way to tell with this game.
Yep. The general rule of thumb for zone progression is that if enemies are too tough, you're probably in the wrong area. Which is why I'm AMAZED that you already made it through the Tomb of Giants, the toughest zone in the game, and it's something I usually put off until near the end.
This teleporting thing, can i find it at this stage i'm at, or is it only further in the game? Can i leave Tomb of Giants knowing i can just teleport back to finally go through the golden fog, or it doesn't work like that at all? (i must confess i'm not much of an adept of the Metroidvania style)
You'll get the ability to teleport between bonfires at around the halfway point in the game. At that same time, the golden fog will be lifted, and you can port back to the closest bonfire.
Did anyone actually play through all of Dark Souls without using the internet?
Aazealh said he did. Other than him, maybe 5-6 people? I mostly peeked at a zone guide when I got lost, and don't feel bad about that. Learning the zone progression in the game isn't a spoiler for me. Lore stuff would be.
