I agree. But that's the part of the suspense and the fear of the unknown, right? Let's put it into perspective: You've just slain a horde of crystalline warriors in Duke's Archives, and you finally reach the balcony bonfire. You are really low on arrow ammo, and that is your preferable long range engagement weapon. What will you do? Will you warp out to a merchant to replenish your ammo, even though you may have to go through this all over again? Or will you just push on, and try to reach the next bonfire?

Or, you can think of it like this: In order to be able to warp to a bonfire you have to rest at it first. Although, that's not all it takes. You also have to reach a different bonfire and then try to warp to the other one. You can't know for sure if the bonfire you're resting at can be warped to, is it "linked" to other bonfires. Thus, you need to "check" it out, to see if it works.

In the end, you can come to the wiki and see if it's on the list.
