Ohhhhh right, duh, that section is connected to the rest of the upper level. For some reason I forgot that and was thinking it was its own thing when I was trying to visualize the map. Yeah, as for intended/not I'd say it's a push. The waterwheel is simply a shortcut that cuts out that last stretch if you happen to notice and take advantage of it. So you simply went the long way is all, you shouldn't have missed anything, I think. (In fact, the waterwheel method would have you "miss" the part after that that leads down to the swamp if you walk it.)

The Poison Swamp part of Blighttown suffers from Water Temple/Iron Boots problem for me personally. It practically begs for you to swap for the ring that makes bog traversal bearable as well as poison resist gear and I'd have zero problems if you could like... set a few equip loadouts and toggle between them with a single button press or at worst just being able to select it and have it change out all gear at once. Kinda like how you can equip backup weapons to your L/R hands but for armor/rings instead. ...and not counting against weight of course. >_>
