We are heading towards the ocean today, I want to visit one of the Dragon Communion^[1] church^[2]. Additionally - figure out who exiled Boc^[3].

Sometimes, bats hang upside down.

Found an interesting place, people are crucified.

They are all crucified around a hole. There was a message that told me to be wary of a liar. Meaning, the jump into the hole is very likely to lead to death.

We shall try utilizing Torrent^[4] and jump the gap.

I managed to survive the jump! But jumped straight into skeletons.

Manages to sneak around, sneaky beaky like.

Another trader under the ruins.

Bought Armorers Cookbook II^[5], Land Squirts^[6] and Stonedigger Troll^[7] notes.

Squirt Note^[6] talks about squirts from the ground that explore.

Stonedigger Note^[7] talks about the fact that Stonedigger Trolls^[8] have old wounds on their heads. This mean they have damage vulnerability to their heads.

Found a cave^[9] nearby, where Boc^[3] lays down hurt^[10].

We can summon Istvan^[11] to help us fight Demi-Human Chiefs^[12]

I tried sneaking around, but Istvan^[11] couldn't help himself and attacked.

We got Tailoring Tools^[13] and Sewing Needle^[14].

The cave^[9] continues after the fight.

We exit the coastal cave^[9] at the Dragon Communion Island^[2].

There are jellyfish on the island. What are they?^[15]

Entered the Dragon Communion Church^[2].

This is the altar where Dragon Communion^[1] is performed.

Visited Boc^[3], to return the Needle^[14] to him^[16].

That's the starting area, Chapel of Anticipation^[17]. Wonder if I can get back to it someday.

Someone invisible walking around on the beach.

Managed to defeat it, received Stamp^[18] Ash of War^[19].

Went to the end of this beach, and got attacked by someone. They looked similar to Yura^[20], but maybe not that much.

After defeating it, they dropped Kaiden Gauntlets^[21], as such, are they part of Kaiden^[22]Notes/Kaiden Gauntlets?

I tried fighting this giant. I died.

Found another one of the statues^[23].

This proves that these statues lead us to catacombs^[24].

Within the catacomb^[25], we found a ghost. He uttered the following:

Fire trap, but can be temporarily disabled if hit.

We fight the boss of the Catacombs^[24] - Erdtree Burial Watchdog^[28]. Defeated in on third attempt. They dropped Noble Sorcerer Ashes^[29]

Apparantly, you can jump the following gap, allowing us to skip going through the gatehouse near Gatefront Ruins^[30].

Found out that I had missed an area in the starting zone called Groveside Cave^[31]. There were some dogs inside and soldiers on the outside, near the cave.

Before the boss transition I was advised to try fire against the boss. As such, crafted from fire enhancements with a string^[32], will see if it helps.

Fought Beastman of Farum Azula^[33]. The fire advice worked very well.

Decided to jump the gap mentioned previously to skip the Gatehouse. Found this tree^[34] and a Golden Seed^[35] as well.

The area above, past the gatehouse is called Stormhill^[36].

Visited the Stormhill Evergaol^[37], but did not proceed with the fight.

Apparently we can enter the gatehouse, found Arrow's Reach Talisman^[38] inside.

It seems like I have seen cups like these before.

Went to site of grace^[39] without looking around that much more. I had a chance to talk to Melina^[40].
