Well you have three choices. The first one is to unpetrify Rosabeth and proceed through the Shaded Woods so you can make your way to Brightstone Cove Tseldora to fight The Duke's Dear Freja. Your second is to farm enough souls to get the ring so you can go down into the Gutter to get to the Black Gulch and face the Rotten. Your last option, is to go through Huntsman's Copse to get to Earthen Peak to get to Iron Keep.
