Killed the Dukes dear Freja; now what?

[Den Jyske Lut]

So, it's my first playthrough of the game (a little late, I know) and I have lighted all of the primal bonfires, as well as optaining the soul of the lost sinner, the iron king and the rotten. However, I can't seem to find the last one, even though I killed Freja. I've read, that I'm supposed to pick up the soul, lying just beneath the giant stone dragon. I'm pretty sure I picked this up, but I'm not 100% sure. Now I want to know; is there any way I can continue the game, even though I didn't get this soul? I've read it's possible if you have a soul history of 1 million (which I also do), yet it doesn't help at all. So, can I still continue the game? If so, how?

The bonfire is directly after Freja. There is also a key you might not wanna miss.
Also, yes you could advance if you reach a SM of 1 Million but i wouldnt recommend this.

I did get to the bonfire, and I do have a SM of 1 million, but I still can't seem to continue

1 of the 3 ways from the bonfire before the are with the invisible enemys leads to a shrine, if you have all 4 Souls/bonfires the door will open from itself. If you have 1M Souls you can open the door like any other door.

If you killed all four old ones (Iron King, Rotten, Lost Sinner, Duke's Dear Freja) and have picked up the great soul after Duke lying undeneath the Stone Dragon, then you should be able to open the Winter's Keep. You said you weren't 100% sure about the great soul after Duke, so go and check just in case, but if you have 1M SM, you should be able to pass regardless.

There isn't anything when I return (Tried multible times), and my SM does exceed 1 million..., maybe I just don't know where to go, If so, can you help?

Go to the closed shrine after the 2nd bonfire in Shaded Woods.

At the second bonfire in the Shaded Woods, there are 3 paths. First, the straight one heads to Aldia's Keep and Dragon Aerie, but there's a door which you need the King's Ring. Second, the right path, which is a foggy area and once you get passed it, it leads to shaded ruins where scorpioness najka is, you should already know this one, because in order to get to Duke, you need to pass this area. And lastly, the left path, which after walking quite a bit, not too far, you'll see a curved stair way going up and a door which ONLY opens if you killed ALL "Four Old Ones". That door leads to Drangleic Castle.

Freya's soul just looks like a normal boss soul, not like one of those giant orange ones... if you have that in your inventory you've beaten her properly.
