Walkthrough and Progression Guide: Where to Go and What to Do First
You won't be able to enter Leyndell without defeating the Draconic Tree Sentinel. It would be easier to fight this boss on horseback so you can quickly dodge its attacks. You can also use a Spirit Summon to draw aggro while you attack the sentinel from behind.
How to Beat Draconic Tree Sentinel
Godfrey's attacks are quite slow but they hit really hard. Focus on dodging his attacks until he finishes their animations before landing a few hits in. You can also use Spirit Summons to draw Godfrey's aggro and give you more chances of dishing out damage.
How to Beat Godfrey, First Elden Lord
Morgott's attack patterns are quite similar to the ones Margit the Fell Omen uses. However, some of Morgott's attacks have longer delays and the intervals between his attack animations are short.
How to Beat Morgott, the Omen King
You can opt to have Melina's aid during the fight by interacting with the summon sign outside the boss area. Melina can tank Morgott's attacks while you strike from a safe spot and can also heal you using her own spell, easing up the fight significantly.

The Blessed Dew Talisman is a neat talisman found within Leyndell that gradually restores HP while equipped. You can actually obtain this early in the game by opening a transporter chest on top of the Tower of Return in Weeping Peninsula.
Opening the chest will warp you straight to the Divine Bridge, where you can find the chest containing the talisman and a sleeping golem in the area past the Site of Grace.

After defeating Morgott, you can bring his Great Rune to the Divine Tower of East Altus, located east of the Royal Capital, to restore the rune's power.
Follow the bridge east of the capital until you reach the lift that takes you to the Forbidden Lands, but instead of riding the lift down, turn right and make your way to the end of the path until you reach the Divine Tower.
Before you reach the Divine Tower, you'll be forced to fight the Fell Twins. Only after beating them can you pass through the bridge and restore the Great Rune.

You can continue Dung Eater's questline by finding his physical body at the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds in Leyndell. Once there, run to his cell and unlock it using the Sewer-Gaol Key that you received from him after giving a Seedbed Curse.
