The Dreg Heap is the initial area of The Ringed City DLC, a desolate expanse of ash and ruins. Your primary goal here is to navigate through the treacherous landscape, defeat new enemies, and find key items that will aid your progression. The first major landmark is a large, crumbling structure that you must ascend. Be wary of the numerous Hollows and the powerful Harald Legion Knights that patrol this area.
As you make your way through the ruins, keep an eye out for hidden paths and ledges. You'll encounter the first bonfire shortly after a challenging descent. Beyond this, you'll need to find a way to cross a large chasm. This often involves a precarious bridge or a series of platforms. Look for the summon s for Lapp, the former Knight of the Sunless Realms, who can offer assistance and guidance. You'll also need to find the 'Ringed City's First Bonfire' and eventually make your way towards the Earthen Peak Ruins. Key items to look out for include Titanite Shards, Large Titanite Shards, and potentially early-game rings or useful consumables.
