Key Features:

• A Site of Grace is located near the entrance for checkpointing.

• A chariot can be found near Gatefront Ruins, which can be used to open a chest containing the Lordsworn's Greatsword.

Walkthrough Strategy:

The Stormgate is designed to test players early on. Upon approaching, a Troll and several soldiers will engage. For players seeking to bypass the initial combat, utilizing the Spectral Steed Whistle to quickly ride through the area on horseback is a viable option. The narrow path makes it difficult for multiple enemies to attack simultaneously, allowing for tactical engagement if direct confrontation is chosen.
