Duke's Archives and Londo Ruins are good, but everything in Izalith or the Giants' Tomb sucks a lot of ass. So you are correct on average.

The slug tree gets a lot of hate as a boss, but I think the Centipede Demon gets underrepresented. Killed as soon as you pass through the fog door because you drop to 0.5 frames per second, followed by a long run back again? Ass.

I kinda like Tomb of the Giants more than Duke's Archives. Duke's Archives feels very repetitive and grind-y. Lost Izalith really sucks ass hard. The fact that the opening to this area is a lazy reskin of the Asylum Demon tells you everything you need to know about the painfully boring lava portion of Dark Souls 1.

And the whole thing about the kiln of the first flame and Gwyn being massive letdowns leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
