I actually thought about saying something because City of Tears is where you're "supposed to" go next*. I was a bit worried you somehow didn't grab the City Crest after beating False Knight, which has happened to some people and generally causes them to get stuck around this point. City of Tears is a really cool area though imo. Great music and atmosphere and it's around here the game kind of starts feeling like it actually opens up in terms of the things you can do.

*There's actually a few different ways you can progress, but the "normal" way is by just using the City Crest to enter the city and the alternatives definitely aren't ideal. You can actually get to City of Tears and the rest of the game by going through Deepnest at this point, but it's a bit convoluted and involves a difficulty spike which is probably quite painful especially without the nail upgrade. You can also grind for the lantern which unlocks some other ways to go but that's also obviously painful.
