Dark Souls 3 is a very big game, and there are a lot of secrets that may pass you by if you aren't looking out for them, and many of these places, people, and items are extremely valuable in the early game. This page will seek to inform you of Things to Find Early in Dark Souls 3. This includes the areas starting with the Cemetery of Ash, through the High Wall of Lothric, leading to the Undead Settlement.
As soon as you get to Firelink Shrine, take a left from the entrance and climb up around the side to find a weird almost naked man wielding a katana. Engage him and watch for his hold stance that has him sheathe his weapon to either parry or lunge, and bait out his attacks to retaliate and kill him.
You'll win from him his prized katana, the Uchigatana, a weapon that is great for those favoring dexterity, as it can unleash a lot of damage early game. What's more, you'll also be able to summon the Master Swordsman in front of the first boss fight at the High Wall of Lothric (make sure you use an Ember to be able to summon!)
A simple but obvious item to overlook, the Shrine Handmaid sells a Torch from the moment you first enter Firelink Shrine. It's very affordable, and will be invaluable as you begin to explore some of the darker areas in the game, where you can stave off unwanted ambushes by seeing them ahead of time.
As you explore Firelink Shrine, you may note the side passage out of the top floor to a locked belltower door. The Handmaid sells the key for a whopping 20,000 souls which is a lot to ask for early in the game, but you should try to get it sometime around the Undead Settlement. However if you aren't content to wait, you can always try using a trick to get up to the lower roof: From the belltower door, look down to see a large tree stump to the left of a lower roof. If you try sprinting up, you can perform a running jump and curve to the right to leap over the gap onto the rooftops. It may take some tries, but it is possible. From here, you can go around to the rooftops at the front of the shrine to find an entrance to the rafters above - where a corpse holds an Estus Shard, and an odd Crow will trade certain items with you. If you look at the far back wall where a narrow beam ends at a wall, you can strike it to reveal an illusory wall with a path leading behind the thrones to a chest holding a Covetous Silver Serpent Ring, which can greatly increase the amount of souls you'll obtain at this stage in the game.
Unless your class started with a bow, it can be helpful to have a ranged option to fights that may be dangerous up close. When arriving at the High Wall of Lothric, you can head right along the wall to another small tower where you can find a Longbow and some arrows - just be careful of ambushes!

These weapons can be tricky to obtain, but are well worth the effort. Continue along the High Wall of Lothric until a large dragon appears to spread fire over an upper walkway. There are a few items up on the wall, and you'll need to be fast to sprint along to find a Claymore among them before jumping off the side to avoid getting toasted. If you can sprint under the Dragon's perch, you'll find a room under the tower with a Mimic posing as a chest. This can be tough enemy to face early on, but the Deep Battle Axe reward is one of the first magical damage dealing weapons you can find for free.
If you look under the tower with the Bonfire opposite the dragon, you may find the cell of a thief on the bottom floor. To bust him out, traverse the rooftops down to a large building with an open barracks area full of dogs and axe-wielding Hollow. There's some stairs on the bottom floor leading a dead end where you can find a key to the cell. Greirat of the Undead Settlement will join you if you let him, and if you agree to a favor, he'll sell you some great items, and may find even more to sell should you keep helping him.
There's not one - but three different people you can find and rescue in the Undead Settlement, each proficient in a particular style of magic.
Yoel of Londor is a pilgrim that can be found at the end of the broken bridge near where you enter the settlement, and will not only sell sorceries, but draw your your true strength with free levels that will cause you to Hollow.
Cornyx of the Great Swamp is locked in cage hanging off the tall building in the middle of the entire settlement, requiring you to drop down a cliff ledge below to climb onto the roof from the other side, and defeat the firebomb-throwing villagers before speaking with him. He'll teach you pyromancies, and even reinforce your Pyromancy Flame catalyst.
Irina of Carim is a maiden locked in a cell near the tower at the end of the Settlement, and her grumpy protector Eygon of Carim won't help. You can either try dropping into the gorge behind him, or traveling to the far side of the Settlement where a giant is peppering the area with large arrows to search the gravestones above for Mortician's Ashes, which can be given to the Firelink Handmaid who will then sell you key to a door in the sewers underneath the settlement leading all the way back to Irina. Irina will sell you miracles if you let her, and Eygon will then assist you for certain boss fights if you want to summon him.
When in the Undead Settlement, you can join two covenants if you explore in the right places. From the central pyre near the middle of the settlement, look for a small dark alley on the left and enter the building, and look for a hole in the floor in the room full of corpses. Down here you'll find the insignia of the Warriors of Sunlight Covenant, letting you perform jolly cooperation with other players. Praise the Sun!
Back at the pyre, head right instead to cross the bridge, and go right around the building to a narrow cliff passage filled with dart-blowing Thralls. Defeat them and climb up the ladder on the far house, and jump over the right side of the house where a large Butcher is carrying a steel cage on his back.
If you inspect the cage (And have not engaged the Curse-rotted Greatwood boss), you'll be taken to a secret area to find a man who will induct you into the Mound Makers Covenant, letting you invade other players as a purple phantom who takes no sides.
At the end of the Undead Settlement, you'll come upon a large tower with a lift where Siegward of Catarina pops out. You can solve his elevator problems by activating the lift then jumping off to find another lift coming from above. After taking the lift up and speaking to the giant archer, taking it back down you may spot a platform halfway up. Jumping off at the platform you'll find Siegward, who is watching a Demon rampage around the settlement. Jump off to engage and Siegward will follow. You can team up to kill it and get a Fire Gem, plus some great emotes and Siegbrau from Siegward!
