You can summon wherever there's a summon sign. So look around the boss area to see if there any NPC signs or signs from other players. Usually there will be around bosses which typically cause players difficulty (like the gargoyles).

Yes, most commonly summon signs are at bonfires or in front of bosses. NPCs though are sometimes hidden. So use a guide to look them up.

idk how active the PS3 DS1 community is still. Since most people are next gen on the remake

Just think. Now you're all set to hunt and kill to your heart's content.

Right outside the church you're fighting the gargoyles on the roof of.

Go down the long bridge on the other side of that church and down the stairs at the end

Oh and for advice later on. Maybe not advice.

When you get to a certain duo boss that is the separate the men from the boys boss. It will probably kick your ass multiple times. Tough it out.

The dude without a head or a leg, shoots lightning at you, hits you with his rod, or jump and stabs you, which I'm convinced is a coin flip whether you get damaged or not.

You can just run past him for now. Or cheese him with ranged attacks

If you get a shortcut back to it or something, yes. I'm pretty sure you can get enough humanity to kindle every single bonfire at least twice so you don't need to be picky about that aspect per se.

Ending it off there. I don't quite get what all the praise is about, but I don't hate it. Side note, putting a bonfire behind an illusory wall (which I wouldn't even know existed unless a message told me) is kind of a dick move.

Bloodborne did it for me tbh - I played that first after I got it for free on PS+ (I didn't play any of these at the time of release)

It was a combination of added difficulty than the standard games were giving me at the time and the world building honestly - there's SO little that any scrap of lore you get is really interesting

But I've heard many people with that sentiment so I can dig it

There's a summon right outside the staircase leading to it that makes the fight trivial. Do it. Unless you're a ranged mage character the fight is just a drag since it spends so much time flying from you. It's not interesting it's just tedious.

Btw using summons is cheating and trivializes the entire game. Every boss is dirt easy with a human co-op partner.

It's about 50-60 hours on a typical first run. I was pretty close to 60. The quality of the game takes a big dip near the end on certain areas too.

Actually s little more than 60 with the dlc. Can't remember how much more though.

Two-handing your weapon does the equivalent of multiplying your strength by 1.5x. If you're using a weapon with low scaling, or one with primarily DEX scaling, you won't see much of a difference.
