Navigating the world of Elden Ring is hard enough as it is. Don't go too far into the Lands Between without a torch. Dark caves and secret passages lurk in the shadows, and so do enemies within them. Fall damage, wolf bites, and more all threaten to ruin a good time. Luckily, you can obtain your first torch pretty much immediately. When you've finished Elden Ring's tutorial area, you'll emerge into Limgrave proper and see a Site of Grace nearby. Rest there, then set your sights to the north. Just a short walk in that direction will present to you another Site of Grace. This area is known as the Church of Elleh, and it's here we'll be rounding up a torch.

Keep in mind, however, that you may stumble across several weapons that function as torches later in the game, and they're likely to be better choices to keep equipped while exploring. A little later, you'll also be able to buy a lantern that hooks onto your gear, meaning you can use your normal weapon instead of equipping the torch. There's plenty of time to round those up, though, and for now, Kalé's standard torch should get the job done just fine.
