Players will get their first glimpse of the Lands Between at the First Step, an area of Elden Ring’s Limgrave outside the Cave of Knowledge and the Stranded Graveyard. There are many areas around the First Step that allow players to fight some of the game’s easiest enemies and collect runes, which they can use to level up, though they will still be challenged.

One of the best ways for Elden Ring players to collect runes in the beginning of their journey is by going to the Waypoint Ruins, which is to the East of The First Step. From there, players will encounter a lot of soldiers, along with a couple of trolls moving a wagon. They go from the Waypoint Ruins to Gatefront. While many players have fought these enemies, few have thought to use the wagon to travel to Gatefront.
One Elden Ring player and Reddit user, nachoz1112, posted a video in which they used the wagon that the trolls pull to get to the Gatefront Ruins in Elden Ring. In order to stay on the wagon for a long period of time, players will first need to defeat the soldiers near the trolls, while leaving the trolls alone.
While these enemies can be discovered in the first hour of Elden Ring, many players haven’t checked to see how far the trolls will pull the wagon and were surprised to learn that they eventually stop at Gatefront, which other fans told them in the comments of the Reddit post. This video has also sparked conversations on what people believe are in this wagon and the ones just like it that are already in Gatefront. These wagons are very big and players only receive one item from each when they search them.
Though many gamers have been playing Elden Ring for dozens of hours since it released, there are still a lot of things in the game that players are discovering for the first time. As time goes by, players will surely make other discoveries of things they can do in the game and theorize about Elden Ring’s rich open world.
Elden Ring is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
