South-east from Gatefront Ruins (past east of the telescope on the map), you'll hear a shout belonging to Boc the Seamster. After this, teleport to the Church of Elleh Site of Grace to meet Renna, and unlock the Spirit Calling Bell and get the Lone Wolf Ashes.
Visit 3 sites of grace, or rest in the Gatefront Site of Grace to speak with Melina and unlock Torrent, your mount. Also pick up the Whetstone Knife so you can use Skills in your weapon, and get Ash of War: Storm Stomp from an underground chest. Head over to Gatefront Ruins and obtain the Limgrave West map fragment for the area. You can do optional cave and catacomb objectives to gain talismans and materials as needed. Also make note of the nearby upgrade bench. At the church, buy the Crafting Kit Kale offers, a Torch, and the Telescope. Defeating him rewards you with his Golden Halberd. He will be extremely difficult at this stage of the game, so it is strongly suggested to avoid him until you unlock your horse and become stronger. Patrolling between the starting point and the church is a Tree Sentinel boss. Your first step will be to head to Church of Elleh and meet Merchant Kale, one of the Nomadic Merchants of the game. Right next to the First Step Site of Grace you'll find White Mask Varre. Exhaust his dialogue for some info about the world and to start his quest. Limgrave has a lot of places to visit, but only a few of them are essential. Elden Ring Map: Limgrave Region starting point.
