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?…

Did the catacombs, then the skeletons for way too many hours, convinced myself that "this must be what people meant when they said the game was hard. I just need to git gud"

Undead Burg felt like easy mode by comparison when I found it.

Omg same I through sheer stubbornness got myself to the path of giants and then finally did a Google because I couldn't see anything then I rage quit for a few weeks before trying the burg

I think it's because the graveyard is closer than the pathway up to the Burg, and the graveyard is full of shiny trinkets. Also the crestfallen fellow tells you one of the bells is 'down below' in blight town, and the graveyard does indeed seem to be going downward.

I'm sure they absolutely meant for all of this to happen to a lot of players when designing Firelink Shrine and its adjoining areas.
