Can't leave starting area

Hi Fellows,
I just upgraded to R22 and find me in starter area, which I am not able to leave. I tried to escape through the gate, can't find any lever. Can't jump over the phalanx nor can I go through the flames. I think I looked on every part of the map but couldn't find a secret door or something. Can I get a hint please?

 

What starting area are you in? Solace Bridge? If so, the Bard Edvard tells you there is a boat under the bridge which will take you to Soltown. When you get there, talk to the guard near the boat to give him the papers Edvard gives you. He will also point you to new quest givers.

 

I am on "Blood River Massacre"

 

Hmmm, I've done that scene, too, but only once late at night and I don't remember how I left it. I do know I didn't have any problems. Did you talk to the NPCs?

Someone else will have to chime in and give you the specifics. Sorry!

 

There is an npc that offers a dagger but want something in return, but i havent found anything what he could use. thanks anyways for your response

 

Finally I discovered wht he desired. Thanks

 

There is also another 'item' that will work.
