Heading to No-Man's Wharf:

Follow this Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin walkthrough to navigate No-Man's Wharf, find items like the Monastery Charm and Knight Armor Set, and meet Lucatiel.

Alright, let's head to No-Man's Wharf. First things first, use the Bonfire in the Tower of Flame to fast travel there. Once you arrive, head straight ahead and take the spiral staircase all the way down.

At the bottom, look behind the staircase for a corpse. Search it to grab a Monastery Charm. Now, steel yourself, because you'll run into two Old Knights. Take them down, then follow the path ahead. You'll find three more corpses here. Loot them for a Human Effigy, Dark Troches, a Soul of a Proud Knight, and an Old Knight Halberd.

Continue through the doorway in the middle of this area and head down another set of stairs. Be ready, as two more Old Knights are waiting for you. After you've dealt with them, follow the path until you spot a lift. Hop on and use it to descend into the flooded tunnel.

Keep moving through the tunnel, and you'll eventually find an Old Knight guarding a doorway. Defeat him, then head upstairs. To your right, tucked away in an alcove at the end, is a chest. Open it up to find the Knight Armor Set, which includes a Helm, Armor, Gauntlets, and Leggings.

Now, make your way back to the flooded tunnel. Stick to the main path until you reach another tunnel that opens into a cavern. Follow this path, and you'll eventually discover the No-Man's Wharf Bonfire. You'll also encounter Lucatiel here. If you chat with her until you've exhausted her dialogue options, she'll offer to help you out by being summonable in a few specific spots later on: Sinner's Rise, Iron Keep, No-man's Wharf itself, and Black Gulch.

You're about to enter No-Man's Wharf proper. Just a heads-up, it's a really good idea to have at least one Pharros Lockstone on hand before you proceed.
