Waypoint Ruins
The Post Town Remains is a hillside ruin off the large main road running through Limgrave, past the large bridge and up on the hills overlooking the road on the west edge of the region.
The ruins themselves are crawling with small moving Miranda Plants that emit spores to poison you when you draw near, and must be killed quickly or at range. To make matters harder, they are overseen by a Giant Miranda Plant that can summon magical projectiles from the sky in addition to releasing a greater poison cloud, and must be attacked carefully to avoid their moves.
A group of smaller ones are huddled in the ruins on the south side guarding some Glowstone, while the larger one in the middle guards bodies that hold Immunizing Cured Meat and a Golden Rune. Above the giant Miranda Plant, you can spot a body dangling off some ruins that you can use Torrent to jump to and find Trina's Lily x4.
In the middle of the ruins is the entrance to an underground tunnel - but you can bypass it by dropping down from the ruined slabs above, or using Torrent to double jump over the walls.
Inside is a single Mini-Boss, a Mad Pumpkin Head. Though there is no dungeon attached to this area, Mad Pumpkin Head is still a formidable opponent. He uses a spiked flail in a near never-ending stream of aggressive attacks that are hard to get away from.
Pumpkin Head's weapon will constantly inflict bleed on you - even if blocked, and to make matters worse, he will try to slam his armored head down on you, which will greatly dampen any attacks that hit his head.
You may want to rely more on dodging than blocking - or try to judge his attacks to parry the swings from the flail, and get around to attack on his side or back where his helmet won't block the blows. You can also try summoning a spirit with a lot of health to try diverting his attention, letting you attack from behind.
Always leave some stamina left to quickly dodge around his follow up flail swings or punches, and be ready to let out a few attacks of your own until he starts up again.
Once the Mad Pumpkin Head is defeated, he won't drop any loot sadly, but you will have access to a back room where Sorceress Sellen resides, and she can teach you several Glintstone sorceries, as well as the Nod in Thought Emote. For a price, she can teach you various spells, and you can return to give her sorcery scrolls you find to increase her array of items.
