    The tree sentinel is much stronger than the other bosses in this list. Also the dragon, although not as much. Get stronger if you don't wanna get frustrated.

    Go southeast of starting area to Weeping Penninsula. It's a great place to level up and get some items/abilities prior to Stormveil Castle. It's relatively easy and simple, houses some fun side quests and NPCS, and it's perfect for levels 20-35. It can be completely explored and completed, as no one area or boss there is too difficult for a level 30 character.
    Also, melee characters should utilize their Ashes of War to deliver some powerful blows. Stand off and Unsheathe are great, and come standard with the Longsword and Uchigatana, respectively.
    Uchigatana is a great early game weapon for Dex or Quality builds. Quick and powerful, it also naturally builds up bleeding in tanky enemies that results in massive blood loss, making some bosses much easier.

      You'll miss out on some pretty cool items, questlines and bosses if you go in 100% blind.
      I'd say don't watch any bossfights though, don't want to spoil their movesets like a certain Radahn attack. And dont watch any level playthroughs because some of the reveals are amazing the 1st time around like Raya Lucaria Academy.

    Can someone tell me if you can go straight to the first Elden lord and Morgott before Margitt, Godrick and Rennalla? Ng+

      You can definitely do that. There is a shortcut over the bridge and up the cliff path to get to Liurnia without going through Stormveil castle, and you can go straight on to Altus Plateau and Leyndell without going anywhere near Raya Lucaria, either by heading up the Ruin-strewn Precipice in the far North of the region, or by doing the two forts that give you the medallion pieces to use the Grand Lift of Dectus
