I thought I had to fight the black knight before I could get to Oscar and the rusted ring, but I was watching someone play and both times I saw him play that area the door near the bonfire was open so he could go straight to Oscar and skip the Black Knight. Anyone know why?

I'd really rather avoid the black knight until later. Partially because he's tough and partially because I'd like to have the gold covetous ring so I have a better chance at getting the weapon and/or shield.
