I have created this image that I print out and mark off as I progress through different characters in order to keep track of progress. It is a work in progress.
killing of the dragonslayer is not required to gain passage to huntsmans copse, if you kill the miracle vendor near the bonfire above the dragonrider, you can obtain the charm required to rotate the walls in majula. you also avoid paying her 2000 souls each time you wish to do this. however you must pay souls at her grave to access her merchandise. for all this to be possible, however, you must defeat the dragonrider to gain access to the upstairs. unless there is some workaround for that...
