Cannot figure out how to get into this one.
(It had a few guards outside and it apparently has a small chest inside.)

It is located in South Suthsexe just East of the delta where the river flows into the sea.
If you have established an anchor point in the delta it is NNE of that spot.
It is roughly 500m West of and in line with St Leonards Alter.

The door is barred (as usual).
There is no open/partially open window.
The raven cannot see any "stairs" anywhere.
The front and rear peak areas are too small to climb into.
There are no movable/destructible objects around the exterior.

I'm stumped.

I am nervous every time I sell my minor runes that I will accidently sell a diamond rune, and since those takes ages to get specific ones your going for, I always end up nervous selling these runes. I propose a collections like system, which would not only take away this fear, but it would add a new element to the game where players try to collect all the diamond shaped runes. I believe this feature would be easy to implement, as they could simply add a new vendor in the settlement, which sells all the diamond runes you've already collected during your adventure!

I'm no twitchy pro, but I've beaten my way through all the souls/bloodborne/whatever games. I like a challenge. So I put it on "hard" for combat.

Then I run into this first "boss" - who takes a cool hundred axe blows, and a single hit sends me to the reload screen.

But he's not really hard, his AI seems so bad he will attack the air. I end up dying because I get so bored I try and squeeze too many attacks in, just to try and get the fight over with.

So - after reloading four times, I thought I might come here for advice. Anyone who has played long enough, can you tell me: does "upping the difficulty" just turn the bad guys into damage sponges? Is it just the early game that's not balanced?

Just trying to realign my expectations before I play any more. So far... yeesh.
