There are 4 Soul Warriors (not counting the Godhome ones); the 2 in the Soul Sanctum, and the 2 in the Colosseum of Fools. I am inclined to believe he is stuck on the Soul Warrior on the way up to Soul Master, because he clearly lacks the skill level to make to any of the other ones.
Someone on youtube beat him at my stage. What am I supposed to unlock next IDC about spoilers. I got the dash, wall climb and the soul blast thingy. What's next

Yes, but they were more than likely better than you.

so any tips to be "better"? Like I feel like my guy is underpowered. I hit him so many times while avoiding his attacks. HE WOULDNT DIE AND ITS NOT EVEN A BOSS. Should I focus on upgrading my nail?

I played for 7 hours, why is game progressing so hard at the start.

Yes and focus on getting better charms and remember to change loadouts.

The first Soul Warrior has 180 Hp(there is another Soul Warrior that has 300 Hp, you fight that one later to upgrade your fireball, after getting the Elegant Key).
Soul Master has 385 Hp(there is also an end-game version of Soul Master, called Soul Tyrant, which has 1250 Hp).

Old Nail (nail level 0) does 5 DMG.*
Sharpened Nail (nail level 1) does 9 DMG.*
Channeled Nail (nail level 2) does 13 DMG.
Coiled Nail (nail level 3) does 17 DMG.
Pure Nail (nail level 4) does 21 DMG.

Vengeful Spirit (fireball level 1) does 15x2 DMG.*
Shade Soul (fireball level 2) does 30x2 DMG.

Howling Wraiths (scream level 1) does 10x3 DMG.*
Abyss Shriek (scream level 2) does 20x4 DMG.

Desolate Dive (quake level 1) does 15+20 DMG.
Descending Dark (quake level 2) does 15+30+15 DMG.

Great Slash does 2.5xN DMG.
Cyclone Slash does 3/7x1.2xN DMG.*
Dash Slash does 2.5xN DMG.

I put asterisks by damage sorces that you either have, or can get at this point in the game.
Howling Wraiths is in Fog Canyon, acrossed the one room full of lightning bugs.
Cyclone Slash is up the wall of the starting area(While you CAN access it with just Mantis Claw, and the area is stupidly easy, I'm not sure if its worth going up there for just Cyclone Slash, since pretty much every other objective in the Cliffs area require abilities you don't have yet. Specifically, the Lumafly Lantern and the Dream Nail).
You'll get Desolate Dive at the end of the Soul Sanctum.
The upgrade for the fireball is also in the Soul Sanctum, but you have to come back for it later.

If you died a second time without retrieving your shade, just... grind to get 250 Geo. The Forgotten Crossroads has 2 Husk Guards you can kill for 45 Geo each and they're fairly near to each other plus a bench, rinse and repeat for 3 times should be enough for you to afford a Nail upgrade.

5 DMG vs 9 DMG is a lot of difference (36 vs 20 hits to kill Soul Warrior).

There is an elevator that connects the City directly to the Crossroads. It's relatively close the place Cornifer was in the City.
Unlocking the shortcut also gives you access to a Soul Fragment.

Uprading your nail is a need. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hated him on my first playthrough to tho. What i recommend is the time you get to soul warrior you can have 6 mask shards (hp). If ur having difficulty with the game now just go get sixth mask shard if u dont already have it.

If you're having issues with your shade, you might want to save a simple key to unlock a certain character in Dirtmouth. They let you summon your shade for a rotten egg, saving you the risk of dying on your way back.
