The advice I'd give to you:

• Listen to NPCs when they talk. It's easy to skip past stuff or zone out but they often explain what's going on, what you should be doing or what they'd like you to do for them. For instance, a lot of people got lost right after the tutorial, but the NPC standing right next to the first site of grace literally explains that your first main story objective is in the big castle to the north.

-remember if you DO get lost, the sites of grace have a kind of 'arc' of gold shining out from them that points towards your next closest main story boss/dungeon.

• Don't worry too much about your build right at the beginning of the game. Find weapons, armor, spells, etc and use what you think looks fun and then just keep leveling up the stats that apply to those things. You can always respec later if you want to.

• Take your time to just explore the main area your in at the time and then when you feel like you're ready move on head to the boss area. At the start of the game the main boss is in godricks castle, but it's safe to explore the whole are you can see on your map and the area directly to thr south, but avoid the area to the east. When everything turns red, you've gone too far east. The red area (caelid) isn't even really required to beat the game so don't go exploring in there until youre leveled up and confident.
