By the way, I´m now on Darkroot Garden, but I took a turn and entered 'Darkroot Basin'...should I avoid it for now?

Well, it's not that the Basin is hard. You've got a Black Knight with a Halberd at the bottom of the path, four crystal golems and then there's the Hydra. The Hydra itself is easy once you're at melee range, getting at melee range, that's the biggest issue. The Hydra will continously shoot jets of water towards your position (which have a little homing tracking and cause huge splash damage) so you can die easily before reaching it. 

It's best to avoid it for now, if you want to save yourself some grief. Just go down the other path until you hit the wall I told you. And yes, the Butterfly is much, much easier than the gargoyles, though the fight will take you some time if you're melee only.
