>where do i gosee somewhere interesting in the middle distance? a cave, a ruin? go there. especially if its a site of grace. sometimes there are secrets. turn online play on and see other people's messages that might guide you to a hidden passage, warn you of a trap or trick you into one. leave your own, if you want. or play offline and blind.
>what do i dokill whatever is there and get new shit. practice combat and try out new things. not every person or thing in the world is an enemy though, if you're not sure and dont want to get too close, you can lock on as you're approaching. no lock on = you can talk to them. they might be a shopkeeper or an npc that you can befriend that has their own questline. these characters are all usually all alone and obvious. make sure to talk to them and exhaust all their dialogue before moving on, you may find them later on, in a different place.
>i dont know how to progress the main objective of the gamesites of grace shine a golden light towards where you "need" to go. but its always good to explore everywhere.
>but i cant see anything, where do i gofollow the main roads, there are maps you can pick up in front of tall markers that dot the roads.
>im getting my ass beattry a new strategy, time your rolls, jumps and attacks better, come back later when you're stronger. you dont have to fight everything you see either. learn to use your horse when you can.
