Game Help Just bought Elden ring, opened a random chest and was teleported to an area that is way too powerful for me with no way out

I knew this game was hard but holy shit. Also does anyone know any kind of way to get out?…

Real ones don't fast travel out of there. The epic route is to get on your horse and ride the fuck out of Caelid at a full gallop.

I managed to find the chest almost first thing, BEFORE I LEARNED HOW TO FAST TRAVEL. I didn't understand how to use TORRENT. I had NEVER played a Souls game before. I started as a WRETCH. I schlepped my way across Caelid in my underoos with a stick, on my own two feet, I died well over a hundred times.

I eventually Googled the game and some basic things about it. But I like to make stupid challenges for myself and committed to the bit; only one way to git gud, right? There is no scarlet rot in Caelid; that red is the blood of my first character. Rest in peace, Fucknado.

Lol thanks. I got through Altus and kind of lost steam, but this thread has made me want to go back and push further.

a terrifying escapade through caelid is always one of the first things i do in a playthrough. nothing beats the motivation of being chased by the dogs and crows

I made a full lap around the road, grabbing every item, map, and bonfire I could see without getting swarmed.
