If you're in blighttown for the first time, you'll have no access to the gold serpent ring, that's in sen's fortress, which doesn't unlock until you finish blighttown and beat quelaag (the second bell of awakening is blocked by her boss arena). On top of that the ring's location is quite well hidden, and good luck not turning it's aquisition into a suicide run, not to mention sen's is a bloody death trap anyway and the location is about halfway (progress wise) between the parish bonfire amd fortress bonfire. Really not worth it imo, the silver serpent ring gives a soul bonus that is equal to overkill, even on bosses with a glitch. (and stacks multiplicitively with it a colective 144% soul bonus) It is found later in the game, but if i remember it's also in a lot less convoluted of a location.
