Because the second shouldn't happen at all.

I'm so fucking glad you finally found that hidden bonfire, argh. Be sure to explore the Burg thoroughly too.

Soul of a long-lost Fire Keeper.Each Fire Keeper is a corporeal manifestationof her bonfire, and a draw for the humanitywhich is offered to her. Her soul is gnawedby infinite humanity, and can boost the powerof precious Estus Flasks. Reinforced EstusFlasks capture denser Estus, allowing forincreased restoration of HP.
Oh VerbNever ever consume Firekeeper Souls, they're used to boost the substance of each Estus sipGame never tells you that and once you use it, you can't take it back

You get a couple more fire keeper souls along the way, so it's not the end of the world. It's kindling bonfires (impossible to skip, consumes humanity) that is a real benefit.And don't fear the fog gates. They lead to bosses, and bosses lead to greatness.
Also, that guy I was arguing with, he made it sound like I needed every single Fire Keeper Soul. Otherwise, the game's going to be too hard. So that's not true? Are those just the words of someone who is overly-reliant on healing?

The description says nothing about it. Beginner's trap.
Oh, have you seen that terribly morose lass?… The Fire Keeper.She's stuck keeping that bonfire lit.Sad, really. She's mute and bound to this forsaken place.They probably cut her tongue out back in her village, so that she'd never say any god's name in vain.How do these martyrs keep chugging along? I'd peter out in an instant.Hah hah hah hah…
Not counting the asylum demon, are there any bosses you guys have managed to defeat on your first try?

Havel isn't a boss.

There aren't any other actual bosses.I mean that your assessment of what bosses are optional or not is a bit off. Taurus, Capra, Gaping Dragon, Ceaseless, Firesage and Centipede are all entirely optional and legitimately skippable. Pinwheel is too, but he requires a bug to avoid so I'm not including him.
