head north from town, grow stronger, the boss dungeon of the first act is the palace at the winter city
There are only really a couple of things you need to know to get started.
While all classes are pretty good and have their builds, Warriors are generally simpler to understand.
First is that equipment matters, make sure that you have your character equip armor and weapons as soon as possible.
Equipment that has a star next to it are unique and are in general better than non-unique.
The (Intended) First area is the north area, the old forest. You basically want to go to the North most area and try to cut down the trees blocking your path and then talk to Garth (The innkeeper) that you can't.
Always have 2 party members following you. You get Brint and Cait on the first day and they can carry you to the end of the game if need be.
Read your quests. Quests will generally tell you how or what you have to do to beat them.
If you see a red skull icon on your map, then you are in an area that is way too high level for you.
You need to sleep to level up you and your party members (Party members level up alongside you)
The old forest is pre act 1, Act 1 will end is you go to Winter City. You reach Winter City by continuously going north.
The Wiki https://wiki.smutosaur.us/CoC2/Main_Page is your friend. So give a thank you to Libelous for maintaining it.
Also I did post a guide to this forum. Absolutely do not follow it, but it might help. Just don't actually attempt it.

Story wise you go north but if you're like me who likes stronger opponents go south and get kicked by lupines until you level up enough and get revenge.
That is exactly how I played the game at first. I didn't realize that wayshrines existed.
I went east and got slapped around by Arona and co. I tend to do Old Forest and Harvest Valley to an extent before I try east at all.
I'd suggest you start by going arround Hawkethorne and get to know the place better, trying to know where each npc is in the map and what their function is, which is also a good way to unlock a few missions right off the start. Also, returning to the place where Calla gets kidnapped and following the path to where the cultists dissapeared is also a good idea, since you get the oportunity of recruiting one of your first companions (be prepared for a fight, though, but it shouldn't be that hard)
Alternatively, or after doing the later, head to the north gate and enter the forrest, very begginer friendly area which'll help you get a grip on some of the basic mechanics of the game while exploring the wild, and also another way to get another starter companion pretty easily. Get in as many fights as you can to level up your pc, so that way you can safely explore the other two zones around the village (or rawdog them, if that's what you prefer)
As for equipment, i don't know what to tell you. Find weapons, armor and accesories that complement your abilities, perks and overall playstyle, just mostly experiment with it, though if you have a mage character, the staff they give you at the end of the tutorial is an okay starter weapon.
Also, do yourself a favor and switch to "Manual" combat flow on the menu. Thank me later
