That's intended, as the age of fire keeps rolling along space and time stop making sense, like how phantoms keep appearing everywhere in DKS1. It's just that in DKS2 space itself becomes warped and doesn't have to make sense anymore. To wit, in DKS3, Anor Londo is right next to Irythil. What the hell is it doing there? Countless ages have happend in the meantime, Anor Londo should have been turned to complete and utter dust. And where's all the crap it was conjoined to, like the Duke's Archives (and the Crystal Caves) or the Painted World of Ariamis. The lore answer is "places from time are just being randomly pulled in as the age of fire makes space-time disappear up it's own arse multiple times in a row".
Eh, I've heard that before and it just doesn't work for me. Dark Souls 3 just pulls off the folding space-time thing that much better.
In 3 it feels foreboding, but in 2 it feels silly. I genuinely just think it's the structure. It's like someone said "this is my idea for a sequel" and they just couldn't execute it the way 3 does.
I get what they were going for, it doesn't work for me.
