After clearing the initial monster waves, your next objective is to reach the castle to regroup and understand the cause of the monster rampage. Follow the path indicated on your mini-map. You'll encounter more monster groups along the way, including some stronger enemies like Skeletons. This is a good opportunity to practice your dodging and blocking techniques. Remember that blocking can significantly reduce incoming damage, especially from larger attacks. You'll also be introduced to the concept of Monster Medals, though you might not acquire many at this stage. Continue fighting your way through the city streets, making sure to smash any pots or barrels you see, as they often contain gold or healing items. The path to the castle is linear, so just keep pushing forward, defeating any monsters that stand in your way.
