If anyone is stuck on some parts of game, here is a method. (Warning: spoilers,Duh!)
When you enter the game and you put your name in, the game say items are put in your inventory. When the prompt saids open inventory and equip items, do that. The fight is a lose - lose, you can not win that even if you get him low (he just Regen).
When you're at the camp, go directly to nbo and nobody else and click on relationship to get significantly better armor than master Ricky and more souls.
Once your done with that return back to master Rick and lvl up your character because if you don't do it at the first opportunity after the first day, than the game will kinda glitch out and not show the option anymore for other days which will result of you having to restart.
Once you did that click on relationships for master Ricky and accept the mission to find master elander.
So if you're following along so far and everything is going great, the next things you've going to do is equip the clothes you got from nbo and the weapon from master Ricky and go fight the ghoul multiple times to gain souls, I did it 3-4 times for the next step. (FYI, you have to win the fights to gain souls)
So after that head to the hut and talk to ranger, when he ask for you pay the toll or fight; I highly suggest you pay the toll because if you don't and fight first, he will no longer talk to you anymore which will make it no longer possible to complete the game, which result in another restart (Yayyyyyyy =_=) so if you click the first option and pay the toll, you will have the option to gain access to map which make it possible to complete the quest for master Ricky.
(Side note: if want to complete the quest for ranger, click on relationships and accept the quest, take a nap and come back to him at night to complete it.)
Next talk to Ryan, do the same thing of what you did with the ranger and pay the toll or you won't be able to progress and complete quests if you fight him first. Once you did that, click on relationships and accept his request.
Than head back to the ranger at the hut and click to next location and click on the tower on the right hand side of the screen, this is where master elander is located and where you be able to complete master riçky's quest.
From this mission, you will gain a large amount of souls which you can take back to Ryan to complete his quest.
So far that is everything in the game, so I hoped I help someone if they were confused.
