Stranded Graveyard and West Limgrave
From the chapel and the tutorial caves out into Limgrave: the Church of Elleh, Gatefront, Torrent, the west coast and the Stormfoot Catacombs.
This guide is a walk: read the next unticked item, do it, tick it and read on. It runs over three cycles. Run 1 collects everything one save can give, then New Game Plus and the cycle after it come back for the other two endings, the questline branches a single save can't reach and a few repeat boss kills. Directions start from a Site of Grace you have already lit or from the item just above, so you can fast travel to the start of any step. Anything you can lose is flagged as missable, and a warning comes before the point that locks it.
The first boss is meant to beat you
Outside, go left over the wooden bridge. A boss lands in front of the large statue. Losing is expected and carries you to the Stranded Graveyard with your flasks. If you win, you take his sword and shield now; if not, this guide brings you back for a rematch much later.
