Okay, so where do I even start with Elden Ring Nightreign’s map? I mean, it’s like someone decided to cram every possible variation of terrain into one spot. Limveld? Yeah, it’s kind of like Limgrave’s little cousin – green hills, rocky bits, forests, the whole lot. You roam around, find familiar hangouts, and smack some world bosses. The Shifting Earth events? Definitely needed those. Suddenly, you’re in new biomes with rewards that kinda make you go, "Whoa, where did that come from?"
But here’s the thing – I’m thinking there’s a lot more untapped potential out there. Imagine diving into spots not even in Elden Ring yet. Just let your mind wander. FromSoftware could pull stuff from their old games and give us reimagined maps, or just totally wild new zones. They’re crazy creative, and I’m here for it.
New Adventures Await? Yep.
Leyndell City as a map? Just picture it! The legacy dungeons were massive, but this would crank that up to eleven. Streets? Make ’em even wider. With all those climbable buildings? Sign me up. Hidden bosses in the alleys, maybe some spooky sewers, and hey, why not throw in a dead Erdtree smack in the center? Rooftop parkour, anyone? Just thinking about it gives me a funny kind of exhilaration.
Mount Gelmir’s Peaks – Up We Go
Remember Mount Gelmir? Yeah, those volcanic rock formations had some serious vertical action going on. If they made a map of that, it wouldn’t just be rocky pillars. Maybe throw in a renovated Volcano Manor and some hot springs. Lava rivers like next-level spa treatments – maybe not as relaxing, but definitely exciting. Think about Rykard’s fight (he’d need a diet to fit in). What a scene that could be.
Return to Archdragon? Why Not
Archdragon Peak from Dark Souls 3 was iconic. Dragons, sunbeaten mountains, ancient ruins – talk about atmosphere. Paying homage to the classics while sprinkling in some Nightreign magic would be a cool twist. And come on, let’s be real – Nameless King? Bring on the nostalgia, but with a fresh twist.
Something Entirely Unexpected
But let’s not get stuck on déjà vu. Nightreign could be about new horizons, like areas made of glowing mushrooms or nestled on a titan’s corpse. Shadow of the Erdtree’s variety was a vibe – each place felt different. Nightreign should totally ride that wave.
And there we have it. Or do we? Ah, who knows. My mind kind of wandered there, but it’s all part of the chaos, right? Here’s hoping for the unexpected.
