[Solved] New LUKS installation — where to mount ESP?

I'm struggling to get Arch installed with LUKS and rEFInd. What I'd like is a layout like this one, but with EFI support via rEFInd. On the Arch Wiki page for the ESP, it says I should be putting the ESP in /efi if I want to use a boot manager, but if /boot is part of the main encrypted root partition then I don't see how the system will boot since the kernel is in /boot (or am I wrong?).

How many partitions do I need to make? Do I need a separate EFI and boot manager partition (I don't want to encrypt the boot manager partition), and where should they be mounted?

Thanks in advance

Edit: from further reading it looks like I probably want a single /boot partition of 550MiB+, which will contain the kernel and boot manager. Marking as solved.
