You awaken as Lily, a White Priestess, in a ruined church. Your first companion, the Umbral Knight, will guide you. Proceed right, jumping over obstacles and defeating the Blighted villagers. You'll encounter your first Respite point shortly after. Activate it to save and restore your health. Continue right, dropping down into the village proper. Be mindful of the Blighted villagers and archers. Your Umbral Knight's basic attack is effective against them. Explore thoroughly to find your first few Blight Fragments and potentially a Fervor Fragment.
