Queen's Domain Beginner Guide
Talk to Commander Ekonta for the Rusted Short Sword, break the crate for Elixirs, then smash the wooden barricade to reach the first Crystal Monument. Pick up the Dagger Belt on the beach island and the Rusted Spear in the ruined tower. Damage scales with the Power Meter, so charge your hits.

The opening loop
The beach is a tutorial that refuses to label itself. Ekonta is the person with the sword, not a shop. The crate next to that conversation holds Elixirs. The barricade is wood, and breaking it is the door to the first Crystal Monument. Resting there brings the local enemies back, so it is a checkpoint and a reset, not a safe room you can idle in.
Two more weapons sit in the first hour if you look sideways. The Dagger Belt is on the small island off the beach. The Rusted Spear is inside the ruined tower. The Wooden Club is down in the graveyard crypt, which is the same delve that hides the Endu Shrine Gate Key. I keep the key itself on the key-locations page so this one stays about the first fights.
How a hit actually works
Spamming the attack button is the mistake the starter guide warns about. The Power Meter fills as you commit, and a full meter is the hard hit. Running spends the same pool. A charged swing is worth more than three panicked taps. There is no dodge and no block on this character, so the space between you and the beetle is the defense.
TechRaptor lists nine status effects: Poison, Heavy, Weaken, Disease, Sticky, Binding, Paralysis, Azure Flame and Magic Rot. I have not found a second site that reprints that full set, so treat the names as one source. Food and Elixirs are the answers you have before accessories exist. Fast travel, once you earn it, uses a Travel Crystal Fragment, a Wing Altar and a Wing Stone Fragment. That trio is also a single-guide claim.
FAQ
Where is the first key?
In the crypt under the starting ruins, on the shrine. The steps are on the key page, anchored as the Endu Shrine Gate Key.
Should I pick a difficulty?
There is nothing to pick. The difficulty page explains the one fixed setting.
