I find 4-1 and 4-2 to always be fun PvP. Though in any of the good PvP boards, they will likely have some blue friends. Black Phantom kills are not easy once you get past SL 50 or so...st least that was my experience. I also like 1-1 on NG+.
I would move on to 2-1. 2-1 is all about the switches (or wheels). Or are you simply missing the door (on teh right behind debris) in the room with the first fat Official (the flame throwing fat guy). Use the wheels to open shortcuts and some to move-on. Plus beating all of 2 is the easiest way to go as your first Arch Demon. Though you do have to get past Flame-lurker, the 2-2 boss. Don't be afraid to Summon some friends, there are always some blue signs hanging around outside of the Flamelurker arena.
I used the cheap hit-and-run method with Soul Arrow in my 1st play through as a Royal SL 1. Once you get the Thief's ring next to Ostrava, it is easy. Just go until you can target him...hit him and run back through the room. He will turn-around and go back to his original spot --- repeat. Cheap, but great Soul farming. Once you beat the Phalanx, this was a great way to level up early before tackling the other boards. You get about 4000 per trip if you go from the Phalanx stone, up the left stairs, kill all flamers, kill blue-knight and archers, kill red-night. Return to nexus and repeat. You can farm up to SL 20 in a hurry this way.
