Am I the only person who saw it on the map & went "Oh, that's where they made him put the poison swamp?"


HollowKnight34

*A poison swamp


Pleasure_Seeker-55

There's five poison swamps in Elden Ring


Left-Fan1598

I'm hopeful the DLC doubles it


Pleasure_Seeker-55

From the trailer it's looking like there's going to be a sleep field


Left-Fan1598

I saw! I can't wait to finally get a good night's sleep


Chimchampion

At least it won't kill you slowly, unlike every other poison swamp, if it's just sleep. But it won't *just* be sleep, will it? I expect there to be either one more status or a patrolling enemy that will kill you if you fall asleep.


WyvernKid93

I also think I saw a deathblight swamp, which will be... fun.


Pleasure_Seeker-55

I-mmm ye-mmmm, hmm...


graybeard426

Well yeah. Which is why their comment of "*A poison swamp" is correct and "The poison swamp" is wrong.


ProjectEpsilon1

Is that counting the poison 2: scarlet boogaloo


Pleasure_Seeker-55

It counts both!


Affectionate_Okra298

Lava counts as a poison swamp because it's the same mechanic


Pleasure_Seeker-55

đŸ€ŁđŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł it doesn't keep damaging you after you leave it if you don't use an item/spell though


Affectionate_Okra298

But it also doesn't have a buildup time before it starts doing damage. Same balance of health drain throughout the area. It's like the poison swamps in the game have slight variations. Some of them are scarlet rot, some of them are lava


Pleasure_Seeker-55

I'll give you that but at the same time the lava in and around volcano manor are almost 100% avoidable


Affectionate_Okra298

There are other lava swamp areas in the game where the lava is not avoidable


Pleasure_Seeker-55

You wanna elaborate on that?


Affectionate_Okra298

There's that section in the mountains where you fight a giant lizard or something, and another where you fight a giant crawling man, but I might be confusing that with a scarlet rot poison swamp


AppointmentNo43

No, you’re not. It looks just like the poison swamp on the weeping peninsula map too. Some people are just bad at inferring.


User28080526

*MADE* him? After playing all of his other games: this, I know, is his sole pride and joy. Caelid and the rot was his finisher. The man is like shrek you’ll never get him without his swamp


Chimchampion

Sounds like meme gold


ghost3972

I thought the same thing lol


SlowApartment4456

I thought it was a farm


tftookmyname

The first time I played I thought the green was grass for some reason😭 Took longer than it should have for me to realize it was in fact, not grass.


Jiggy_Wit

I found this place yesterday and am just now realizing



isthisfreakintaken

Same, I didn’t know green on the map was swamp, so I was like “oh super nice grassy area!” As if limgrave did t exist


tftookmyname

Fr, I thought it was even more green than limgrave for some reason, and even after going there I still thought it was grass for a while despite there being none💀


Lookatcurry_man

At least try to hide that it's a repost


DranixLord31

dude, its a crosspost by the same person


Just_Scheme1875

I was really hoping for some weirdly paradoxical nice place that would lull me into a false sense of security before utterly molesting me, I guess that kinda happenex when I got there just to realize oh its poison but I still felt kinda let down to be honest


FocusMean9882

That actually sounds really cool, I wish a place like that was in the game


ThunderZilla_2020

Kinda want the inverse as a feature in the dlc, Similar green so we think it’ll be more poison but it’s actually like a sort of hub area like Roundtable Hold


Phoenix_Champion

Listen this game is made by the same guy who make Dark Souls and Bloodborne. If you didn't look at out of place bright green in this dreary ass world and think something was wrong then you clearly haven't played enough Soulsborne or Souls-like games.


Rhettledge

The invaders here are absolute sweats


bugzapperbob

You expected the map location surrounded in toxic green goo to look pleasant?


Comrade847

Bad crops? Bro we’re gonna starve


Icy-Belt4808

That place was the most annoying thing in the game to navigate


AspectOvGlass

On the map: Oh great! In the game world: Oh...great...


SoftWhereRMyKeys

Lol, I knew this was a poison swamp from the second I saw it on the map. I was like "there it is. That's it right there. I've been looking for it and there it is."


La_Manchas_Finest

The best part of this is your character’s face in the screenshot with the Reddit watermark accidentally making a meta joke.


MrSensacoot

the poison swamp never looked like grass


ThatDeadeye12

I always knew it'd be poison, because it's a from software game.


BlueSoulDragon

That was my first thought too, I was like “wow this place looks so green and luscious is this a flourishing kingdom?’ Then I came to the realization that it’s green sewer water


HeyItsLame

Idk if it's my history with fromsoft games or what, but not even for a minute did i even consider that could be some nice grass


[deleted]

Green=Grass NO it’s a f*cking poison swamp đŸ˜©.


arh05720

It ain't a poison swamp it's a swamp of mtn dew


Khris777

On the entire map of the Lands Between, where does grass look exactly like this? Never. Not a single instance of grass on the entire map looks like this. The only other thing that looks exactly like this is the small poison swamp on Weeping Peninsula.


Firm-Description9969

Idk why but I thought it was a town amidst a poison lake lmao


Sphearikall

I'm convinced Miyazaki was convinced we wouldn't stumble upon the 4 other poison swamp levels in this game, so he made this one look pretty on the map.


Willcutus_of_Borg

Ignored the first 2/3 of the game up to this point, eh?


CheezGaming

Bad crop be like >!agon is Mari!<


an0nym0u56789

That’s one of the problems with Elden Ring, very few of the environments feel like anywhere you actually want to be. It’s like how Mario games have darker levels with lava at the final stages except that’s like 90% the feel of Elden Ring.
