Sacred Haven of Debauchery

I remember when I was just starting, I would leave the starting location and go in the wrong direction, and I was amazed at how dangerous and strong these skeletons were. Then I googled a bit and found out that I should have gone in the other direction, and that was a hard location for a beginner. :)

I started playing the second game at some point.
I didn't understand not only where to go, but also why to go at all.
Although there are two main directions: through the forest and a lot of annoying, normal-sized idiots, and through the bridges with a small number of large and fat idiots, which are not very difficult to defeat, but you need to practice dodging well.
