Going out of the tutorial area directly to your left cave?
I haven't done that area yet <3 yeah it is blocked off by that statue :/ was wondering if anyone had gone there :( Well, I know about a stone statue as well and I can't get past it either, and I'm pretty far into the game I think.
Your "intended" area is the path next to the bonfire.

How far are you Kali?
I'm fighting the Sentinels currently. You can gauge how far I am from my death log, just don't read past the point you're on:

Heide's Tower of Flame
Death 14: Died to the Giant with a big sword ;_;
Death 15: Killed the Giant with a sword, but then swiftly died to the one with the club by falling off the edge into the water.
Death 16-19: Okay, area too difficult :) picked up a human effigy to restore my HP and left.
Forest of Fallen Giants
Death 20: Died to a long swordsman but the area seems more reasonable.
Heide's Tower of Flame
Death 21: Wanted to give this place a few more tries.

Forest of Fallen Giants
Death 23: Died to another long swordsman :<

Death 36-42: Fighting The Last Giant boss
Death 43-49: Exploring the two other areas of The Forest of Fallen Gaints, found the NPC Cale, found the boss The Pursuer, and found another bonfire deeper in. I actually ended up losing the 11k souls I earned from killing the boss The Last Giant (sad), so I farmed the 11k back at this bonfire. I still have to fight the Pursuer, doing that next. Also noteworthy, I beat The Last Giant with my morning star, without any upgrades. I have now gone back to Majula and upgraded it to +4.
Death 50: First death to The Pursuer.
Death 51&52: Deaths against The Pursuer.
Heide's Tower of Flame
No deaths... xP
No-Man's Wharf

The Lost Bastille
Death 55-57: The Heide Knight spearman >.>;
Death 58-60: The two undeads that have a super OP AoE attack when they fall down.
Death 61: The group of 5 undead rushing me caught me off guard at the start.
Death 62-66: Fighting the Ruin Sentinels bosses... 3 of them.
Death 67: Ran off a ledge... lost 12k souls...*sigh*
Huntsman's Copse FYI, this was the beta test area
Death 68: Fell down in a pit with poison butterflies and a strong enemy, only 1k souls so left them behind
Death 69-77: Missed a jump :P I found out the correct way to get the shiny :< It's not my fault... I got it by jumping in the beta. ;_;
The Lost Bastille (Belfry Luna)
Death 78-86: bell tower guardians and a bell tower guardian invader :| Finally rang the bell D:
Death 87-102: Belfry Gargoyles fight
Death 103: Got tired of dying, switched to a physical resist 100% shield and then quickly goofed. THE PAIN IS OVER, GARGOYLES DEFEATED \o/ I think I lost 6k souls in this fight.
Death 104: Died from seven dogs and Dark Spirit "Vorgel the Sinner", jerk >:|
Death 105: Suicide run through enemies I can't stand anymore (AoE exploders) to open a cell door at the top of the tower.

I'd suggest using 1 after the bonfire with the sentinels, when you go down the ladder in that room.

Just recently beat the last giant. Now trying to figure our where to go next.
Those turtle thing are annoying but so far I've died only twice. once because my controller *** up and made me run off a ledge and once to the giant. I kinda hate how stupid he was when fighting him.

Freaking lost like 20k souls in Lost Bastille, knew I should have used them before the fog gate, but of course it just drops you right onto the enemy on a 5x5 sq ft area with a boss. Couldn't homeward fast enough... This game is really ticking me off though.

Ya I had 15k going into that zone and I got stuck in the ambush room with like 6 Knights and what got me stuck was I died up on top of the ladder and I figured that fog gate led to a boss so I was trying to run, grab souls and run back to bonfire. Didn't even think to use bone actually...

I just run past everything, into the room with all those soldiers, down the steps and up the ladder to to the boss. And the boss is a ridiculous too. This game really makes me want to stop playing it, I never died this much in DKS. Can't even level up since I die so much, can't hold on to any souls...

I felt this way yesterday and was getting really upset at the lower hp on death thing. But now I can get Effigys pretty easily and I have the 75% Max HP ring so that helps. I agree though DS2 is much harder than 1.

It's kind of annoying me. they made this one easier than the first. Seems like they toned down the overall difficulty. No where near the number of deaths that I had in first one and I'm about half way through Bastille. Have yet to lose any souls too. What level are you guys in Bastille? wondering if I over leveled.

What level are you guys in Bastille? wondering if I over leveled. 51 and I was doing fine in there 1vs1 until that room with the heavy ambush. I personally feel that they changed minor things to make trash mobs harder. For instance in DS1 I could cleave full groups no problem. In DS2 it seems they shrunk the hit boxes down quiet a bit and now if im hitting the first enemy in a group it doesn't always hit the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. Makes fighting packs of enemies a lot harder. Also its pretty sad to say and maybe im just not as good as I thought I was but my death count has to be in the hundreds easy. Kal said she got through Dargonrider and Dragonslayer with no deaths. I died to Dragonslayer twice but sad to say I died a TON to Dragonrider. It was to the point where I was at 50% HP and any 1 hit would kill me.

It really depends on your play style and weapon preference.
If you're big into leveling up your weapons when you can, you're not going to die very much even in that place.
This is definitely not easier than the first though, but if you're going to run around with a huge GS and 1 hit everything, you're not looking for difficulty.

Any groups I've encountered I just take them out one at a time or two at a time. Though most doorways I run through then run back the other way in case of pincers or ambushes. Which usually funnels through in one or two at a time.maybe I should join that covenant that makes it harder.

I'm level 49 right now(could be higher if I didn't lose so many damn souls) and I just can't beat these Sentinels. It's too freaking tough with 2 or even all 3 at once, especially since that all have the same movesets, unlike Ornstein and Smough who had different moves. These guys just stay together and keep doing the same moves, can't even get close enough to hit them at all...

Speaking of, I'm pretty sure you can re-allocate your point in this game. I went back and talked to those sisters in red robes again and 1 asked if I wanted to re-allocate my points. I said no though.
