Where should you go first?
From the beach, follow the opening north through the rocks and turn right toward the camp. Commander Ekonta gives you the Rusted Short Sword. Equip it before moving on, and collect the nearby Dried Herbs and the Elixers in the breakable crate.

How do you reach the monument?
Break the wooden barricade west of camp with deliberate attacks. Allow power to recover between swings; repeatedly striking with an empty meter is inefficient. Beyond the boards is the first Crystal Monument, where you can explicitly choose Save.
What should you learn before leaving?
The opening becomes easier once you separate attacking, recovering power and retreating. Saving records progress, whereas resting restores health but repopulates enemies. Check your quick slots and return after useful discoveries rather than treating every newly reached room as an automatic checkpoint.
