There's literally two ways, Depths and past all the drakes. The key just lets you skip other areas and get to the drakes earlier. DS1 has brilliant world design that does an excellent job of disguising how it's funneling you into certain areas. Dark Souls 2 pulls the same trick of having paths converge sometimes but others it opens up a different route with another endpoint.

Even if you toss out early sections and dead ends from DS1 as openness for whatever purity test you wanna use, DS2 is still doing the same thing in the opposite order. Like the exact same thing.

The path to Lost Sinner is similar to getting to Blighttown albeit a bit more obvious. The only other time you have a real choice is whether or not drop down a well a bit more.
