Yeah in all From Software games the more you play the better you get. Their games are always designed fairly so if you are not learning from your mistakes and improving there's something seriously wrong with your basic gaming skills.
On your questions, near the serpent encounter are you talking about that snap seed pick up? No, you don't use it right away. Those items are relatively rare and finite pick ups in the game, so its just another one they stuck in a tough spot to grab.
About level structure, yes pretty much whatever areas you can see (except far off mountain ranges and forests) you should be able to eventually access as long as they look like you should be able to.
The dead end after the chained ogre on the way to the headless is not a dead end. You should definitely be able to go that way. I think you need to make a running jump and grab a ledge somewhere. Its inadvisable to go that way yet though. That enemy is really tough without a particular item you can acquire later on in the game. I think I told you about that before.
thanks M_o_W, all check
stay tuned for more
