Help im lost

[Shion]

So I beat Godrick and I went to lucaria academy...there was only one way to go to this lift for which I only have half of a medallion. Do I have to go to to Caelid, cause like I`m level 40 with a +2 bloodhound fang and the boss in divine tower of caelid one shotted me. Every enemy is so strong I`m struggeling. Did I miss something?Where else can I go? Are there any bosses in Lucaria except that dragon? Isnt Lucaria supposed to be an academy, how do I get in? I mean I went in but there was only that lift...am I dumb?

Alright, so: Caelid divine tower and it's immediate area is a trap. The entire lower part of Caelid (South and Central parts) are okay for you, but everything past the trench and dragon peak to the north is basically a late game area. Don't go there yet unless you're feeling confident.
You can clear the rest of Caelid, clean up the castles. The whole of Caelid is basically an optional side quest.

Either that or.... You go down the river north of Lirnuia of the Lakes and use the excavated passage hidden in there to bypass the elevator.

The dragon in Liurnia guards something that might help you get into Raya Lucaria.

Caelid is a surge in difficulty compared to Limgrave and Liurnia. I'd advise going there until you cleared both of the former areas.

Also, have you made sure to properly search Liurnia, especially it's Northern part? Maybe there is more than one way to go where the elevator eventually leads you.

You are not dumb, the game is just pretty big and you'll likely get lost. Don't let this discourage you and have fun on your playthrough!

Thank you a lot! Praise the sun!

Have you done the underground areas?There is an entrance to nokron which is the underground map in limgrave near the friendly bear forest and also another one in linurnia lakes near the fore monks and turtle pope.
These are a good area to explore around this time to get you stronger before going to places like caelid.

(slight spolier ahead) to be honest, u are right to go to liurnia, once u reach the academy gates, u will see a map with a big x mark near the academy... go there - kill the dragon or not, run behind it and loot the key and boom u are able to enter the academy. But ... id explore a bit u know... limgrave, weeping peninsula, then liurnia :p cuz i think that order gives u some extra story with 1 - 2 npc
