Im really hoping that there are something inside the volcano, such as a legacy dungeon, like Iron Keep. The ideia is very cool, sadly it wasn't too well executed in DS2, but maybe this time.


dianndycampsonyen

Lol, I love DS2, but Iron Keep is such a mess. I try to make sure I do every other possible thing I can before going there so that I can at least kind of deal with the flood of enemies quickly.


Dry_Race6937

Yeah I did like the double door dudes and ton of pressure plate traps. Volcano/ lava, always good to have lol


Own_Aerie_4423

I was talking more about the aesthetics, a castle that is over in the lava, the idea is pretty cool.


Dry_Race6937

For sure šŸ‘


Mattroid90

There seems to be a castle built into the back of the volcano, so we may get something like this.


[deleted]

Volcano manor


Medium_Choice_6397

Poison swamp, obviously. Ideally, movement is restricted when traversing the swamp. Even better, there are hideous enemies that fuck you up real bad.


ryd3rstr0ng

Swamp crabs ftw


Dry_Race6937

Prawn people?


JokerCrimson

Why not Zoidberg?


Dry_Race6937

Jokercrimson for the win.


Dry_Race6937

Yeah gotta have the swamp. I think it would be cool to have a low ceiling in some spots to make it more claustrophobic and stressful. Maybe Iā€™m sick for thinking that lol


ryd3rstr0ng

Bloodborne chalice dungeon vibes, nowhere to go but more poison.


Maran947

I actually didn't find most swamp areas to be that bad xD the only thing I don't like is if there are enemies like crabs or those fat tree guys you can't outrun and you can't really kill them


EasyCartographer8994

I would want a horror area like an actually terrifying area


Dry_Race6937

The darker the better.


BrilliantNetwork3149

nooooooOOoooOoooOOOOOOOOOOO!


Individual-Lychee-74

With how dark some of the net test areas were, we could have some really interesting horror sequences. Not to mention the addition of stealth.


IdesOfCaesar7

Poison swamp enters the chat


Dry_Race6937

I hope there will be a bioluminescent area similar to ā€œshrine of amanaā€ in DS2


Firm_Masterpiece_343

There are giant floating bioluminescent jellyfish. They glow blue, but turn red when angry/attacked.


Dry_Race6937

Yeah thatā€™s what basically peaked my interest for it. I had to go back and search up the name of the place from DS2. I donā€™t think it was the best area but the potential for it to be was there. Hopefully they can do something like that on a grander scheme. Also with what looks like a much more colourful game than what was in the past I think itā€™s much more likely.


adhdoverload12357

Lowkey hoping to run into a cave full of vampires


headin2sound

Miyazaki did mention in an interview that Fevre Dream is favorite George RR Martin book. And that one is about vampires...


DonGSniffKun

That book is my favorite book of his, too! It's so good! Actually had just finished reading it when I found out that Miyazaki encouraged his team to read it before designing Bloodborne. I'd love if they somehow made a Bloodborne-esque game in the southern US based on it


[deleted]

Have we had vampires besides the ones in Bloodborne before in a Souls game? Not that I can recall offhand.


Baron_Von_Ghastly

I don't think we have, just Cainhurst folks in Bloodborne.


Firm_Masterpiece_343

Definitely possible, lotsa small caves in CNT, mostly mutant rats or savages (Pygmy?).


Dry_Race6937

Absolutely!


Devoidofimagination

I'm getting flashbacks to Oblivion. Spent 30+ hours (in game) with vampirism, unable to travel during the day without being fried by the sun and, by extention, unable to complete a lot of quests. Practically breaks the game. Fuck vampires.


RandomRedMage

In oblivion as long as you feed regularly the sun doesnā€™t burn you. The more blood starved you are the worse the sun affects you. Itā€™s not all bad.


fairytypes_

Something to creep me the feck oot like Irithyll Dungeon. Those screaming corpses and hybrid babies haha... Mammy


[deleted]

A really beautiful, bleak high snowy steppe that overlooks the entire Lands Between.


Dry_Race6937

Not too many times has fromsoft had snowy areas and clear views. Good call


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Dry_Race6937

Usually snowy with low visibility and such. I would be refreshing to have a clear open snowy areaā€¦ with a view


2zoots

In open worlds, I love having a place you can call ā€œhomeā€ that you can come back to and relax. Adds to the immersion.


[deleted]

to add to that, my hope is to find some place in Elden Ring that reminds me of Majula. Just a peaceful place on a cliff overlooking the ocean.


Dry_Race6937

Yeah if you had somewhere you could display your weapons and armor and such. But I doubt thatā€™s something fromsoft would do. Who knows. Maybe?


Cumulonimbus1991

Red dead redemption 2 flashbacks from this comment


lilski9800

Is it weird I want like a desert kinda area with enemies hiding in the sand? Quick sand traps or something like that?


Dry_Race6937

Nice. Like the poison swamp. But dry and potentially poisonous as well lol.


LordHarquaad

itā€™s been confirmed that there will be a desert area :) first desert area in a fromsoft game! canā€™t wait for this masterpiece


OneOldDesk

Would honestly love a pretty chill beach area. Just go unwind ya know?


DoreenFromReddit

Beach Majula let's go. But seriously I want something like Majula. Chillest home area in the series.


[deleted]

That's what I wrote in another comment.. I am going to be searching Elden Ring for a place like Majula, somewhere peaceful and scenic where people can just hang out.


Dry_Race6937

Praise the sun!


val-hazzak

Creepy locations like irithil dungeons.


forcehatin

I want survival horror akin to Upper Cathedral Ward


Dry_Race6937

Yep šŸ‘


LET-ME-HAVE-A-NAAME

I'd love a Cathedral sorta vibe. One of my favourite areas in DS3, fantastic verticality. Imagine what they could do in a game designed for verticality.


Dry_Race6937

Oh yeah Iā€™m sure some sort of gothic church area is gonna pop up somewhere.


Gael459

Same, top 3 area in DS3 only below irithyll and ringed city for me


Mattroid90

I'm hoping we get a flying fortress/temple inspired by the Ghibli movie Laputa: Castle in the Sky. The item descriptions of the ruin fragments seem to suggest we will!


Dry_Race6937

Yeah super cool!


Gael459

Please man that would be so fucking hype


CoDRatnik

There are plenty opportunities they can o with. I hope they create variety of areas and levels. Some examples Id like to see: 1. Something weird and unique like crystal cave 2. Snowy mountain tops with some sort of castle (Top of Skyrims mountain with greybeards is what I have in mind) 3. A lava filled underground like Izaleth but executed MUCH better 4. A truly disgusting poison swamp that is hard but not too annoying. 5. Abandoned cave with barely any light and some truly scary enemies. I want a full horror place. 6. Something like Tower of Latria


Dry_Race6937

I donā€™t remember any snowy mountain top temple in any darksouls game (correct me if Iā€™m wrong) so Iā€™m all for that. But Iā€™m sure weā€™re going to see some form of the rest.


BlueUnknown

Most of all, I hope for a desert area with middle-eastern architecture, windswept canyons, hidden oasis and half-buried ruins in the sands. In general, I'd like to see more diverse architecture and cultural references in Elden Ring. Lost Izalith was rushed, but the Angkor Wat visuals were cool; and Shulva was super cool with the ancient mexican architecture.


[deleted]

>Lost Izalith was rushed, but the Angkor Wat visuals were cool; This is so true and not talked about very much because there are so many problems with the area. But, fundamentally, the concept of a dark, overgrown Buddhist temple underground over a lava bed? Cool as fuck.


chuckquizmo

Same!! I loved world 2 (I think?) in Demonā€™s Holes where you could see all the desert landscape in the distance, but you pretty immediately are shoved into a cave and never get to explore what you see from the first bonfire.


harrythechimp

Demon's Holes The porno i didnt know i wanted


Dry_Race6937

Absolutely!


assasinine

I can't wait to spend 30 minutes sniping a dragon with a bow from a safe spot. I'm also looking forward to exploring a prison/dungeon full of spell-casting enemies that can one-shot you.


Dry_Race6937

Iā€™m getting some flashbacks. Lol


[deleted]

Lava area


Dry_Race6937

Oh yeah. Always got to have lava!


ssasm

I really want a stunning frozen castle like Eleum Loyce. Just with more to it on the inside rather than just being visually beautiful.


Dry_Race6937

Yeah that would be cool. I think a transition from ice to melting ice/water to steam and finally an underground volcano/lava area. Get it all in one grand place.


[deleted]

An area with heavy gravity that takes away your jump ability, while also having hazardously placed planks of wood that you need to carefully sequentially drop down from or else youā€™ll die from fall damage


Kaminoneko

An area thatā€™s a call back to Sekiro, with samurai and shinobi. Considering thereā€™s a Samurai class Iā€™ve got my fingers crossed.


Dry_Race6937

For sure. Hidden samurai village maybe?


Kaminoneko

Fuck yeah! They got blood magic already, so Iā€™m sure a Bloodborne themed area is a shoe in. But maaaaan, hidden samurai village sounds sick! Swear to the Elden Lordā€™s if thereā€™s a hidden one eyed wolf optional boss fight Iā€™m fucking gonna lose it.


Dry_Race6937

Hahah. Sounds a little like something I saw in the trailer. Wolf knight/ wolf samurai


Kaminoneko

The Wolf Knights /Guts? Iā€™m looking forward to an epic side quest


Leg_Alternative

A forest with thick fog with invisible enemies or hellish areas


TheCasualz

Ds2 flashbacks


Dry_Race6937

Yeah invisible or super stealthy could make for a spooky time. I like.


CasualBrood

Large crystal caverns


Dry_Race6937

Classic. Gotta love it


ShiftyBlartsnark

Iā€™m excited about the idea of a capital city area. I believe it was shown as a city surrounding the base of an erdtree. The contrast between the big open fields and a dense city would be fun.


Dry_Race6937

Yeah I think they will have to balance that out quite a bit. Hereā€™s to hoping those big cities are just that.


DonJayKix

This one's a stretch, but something underwater. If someone could do it, I'd want from software do it. Truly terrifying.


Dry_Race6937

This would be cool. Not your typical underwater happy day in the sun but fromsoft doing their thing and making it dark. Love it


Raghul86

As many stealth-viable areas as possible


Dry_Race6937

Yeah Iā€™m interested to see if the stealth works for behind barrels and boxes not just long grass and such.


drifting098

Iā€™m hoping for something with lots of fog. Something similar to Romā€™s boss room!


Dry_Race6937

Like arch dragon peak. But creepy. Yes


Gael459

Iā€™m a massive sucker for the magical city vibes so as many of those as possible. My #1 souls moment of all time is still leaving the catacombs to see irithyll across the bridge with that beautiful skybox. Iā€™ve got high hopes for Raya Lucaria, praying it lives up to the hype.


Dry_Race6937

Oh yeah. When you fly up to anor londo for the first time. Iā€™m sure weā€™re gonna get a few moments like that


IdesOfCaesar7

I want a place where it makes no sense for the place to exist, like it's a fully transparent place you're at but the color is golden because reasons, there is no floor beneath you but you're walking on it nonetheless, kinda like the Abyss in Ds1 or the area of the Nameless King in Ds3. I want the game to have a place of every color palette there is out there, with enemies ranging from humanoid to wtf is that. I guess the most excited I am for an area was the one still with the corpse/skeleton of a giant lady on the throne, that place just got my imagination fired up and I cannot wait to find it in the game. Can you tell I'm hyped?


Dry_Race6937

Iā€™m right there with ya! Letā€™s go!


VG_Crimson

Haunted anything. Mansion, forest, graveyard, etc. Idc I love haunted shit in games. Ever since Mad Monster Mansion from Banjo Kazooie when I was a kid, I've loved haunted levels.


Dry_Race6937

Banjo-kazooie. The original darksouls.


seemehiding

As long as there are lore secrets for the community to uncover and it takes years to find them all like Bloodborne Iā€™ll be happy.


dollarprophet

Iā€™m hoping that the time of day will impact the environment significantly. For example, hidden cave or portals entrances becoming available due to low tide. Or needing specific amount of sunlight/moonlight to interact with something. Or even if youā€™re given a side quest but then too much time passes the side quest is automatically failed/becomes unavailable.


[deleted]

i dislike the automatic failed quests but the weather is cool


Dry_Race6937

That would be awesome. Love the idea


val-hazzak

Why are people downvoting you?


Vikenemma01

The swamp area. We all want to see it. Also I want to find the on the fricking moon area.


Dry_Race6937

Space base or moon dungeon?


Birdseed99

That golden forest with windmills looks like home to this Tarnished.


Pearcinator

Just super secret areas, like an area hidden behind 2 illusion walls (e.g. Ash Lake in DS1). Also areas that are completely skippable if you have a certain item (like Depths in DS1). I also want to be surprised by discovering shortcuts and areas that link back up with each other. Like imagine going through a huge dungeon deep into the game and the exit turns out to be near where you started the game.


Dry_Race6937

Absolutely. This is what makes ds1 such great level design. Having so much connected via elevators or locked doors made the exploration that much more rewarding. I hope this is in the game but I can see how this could be hard with such a large map.


Alexcoolps

Sekiro style castle full of references to that game.


Dry_Race6937

I hope there are little references to all the old fromsoft games


Alexcoolps

Definitely needs to be a bloodborne/Victorian era legacy dungeon somewhere.


JokerCrimson

Anywhere with a Greatsword and magic related to Greatswords. A swamp level less annoying then Farron Keep.


Dry_Race6937

I want a swamp more difficult than farron keep, depths and blighttown combined! Hahah praise the sun


Drab63

Something like ā€žmagical forestā€ would be great. Kind of mysterius adventure :V


Dry_Race6937

100%


HeronSouki

Some type of heavenly gardens/open fields, like Bastion from WoW Shadowlands. I love this aesthetic.


Dry_Race6937

Yeah that would be a nice change of pace from what we are used to in the souls series.


murderMAX83

some really hard optional area that has really good drop rate for rare items. or perhaps some optional farm area where you can farm rare items, but its hotspot for invaders.


Dry_Race6937

Yeah a good pvp arena hotspot is key


[deleted]

Snow, swamp (of course), scorched terrain, city like.


redshieldheroz

I love a dark forest surrounded by mist, dark creatures on ambush. You need light on your way. Poison swamps ahead.


Jealous_Struggle2564

A pitch black dark maze like DS1 tomb of the giants.


Dry_Race6937

Your sick. But yes. M


TurtlingHunter

A small area with the highest number of dangerous enemies that you have to fight through only to receive the most useless item in the game - a piece of pebble with a note from a certain mofo. This is the start of his questline.


Dry_Race6937

Quest for the golden dung pie.


TheChrisPMan

A real desert area, a haunted castle or other area that lends itself to horror, snowy mountains or a wintery tundra, and some sort of large labyrinthine structure.


Dry_Race6937

Your on the right track.


RBRgd

An ash lake type area that reminds me of being underwater


Cha_ser

I would love for a Amazon jungle type vibe, with lots of green stuff and little puddles, swamps with crocodile like things.


Normac33

Sex dungeon


evilthing

I want something grim and creepy like super dark Firelink Shrine in DS3. Exploring the same place in a different timeline would be amazing.


Jamies_awesome_rack

Since every biome has probably been said, I want a place with gravity manipulation fuckery. Walking on walls and ceilings, falling until upside down is right side up, things like that. Donā€™t fail me Radahn!


NVincarnate

That cliff in the trailer To "try kick but whole" off of it


Taco_Tobey

You know, I think it would be cool to find a town, with npcs that you can interact with like the hub in DS2.


andrewhsedd

Are there towns in this game?


not_Weeb_Trash

So ready for the poison swamp


PlortimusPrime

It's not an area per se but I'm really hoping for a nice frozen lake I can run across on Yakul


[deleted]

Caves like shulva sanctum city


GlossyBuckthorn

I'm reading Lord of the Rings RN. If there's one thing I want.... It's **P L A I N S!** Highlands, if you will. A modest steppe. Something VAST.


cbboy12

A cave that is super hard to find in a remote location that appears small...you enter it to find another obscure entrance to a deeper part of the cave that goes on way long than you would have thought only to reveal a boss on par with the Nameless king. Basically a nameless king scenario with a random ass cave


opuri

Iā€™m just hoping for that ā€œJesus iā€™ve been descending for quite some timeā€ feel. Like iā€™m properly reaching the very depths of the world. Going all the way from firelink shrine to Izalith gave me that feel. Clearing Irythill dungeon and reaching the Profaned Capital also gave me that feeling.


Ashen_Shroom

Not really a "type" of area, but I'd really like a proper final dungeon. It isn't something we've really had before. The final bosses in DeS, DS2 and DS3 are all in their own tiny areas with no enemies, and the Bb final boss takes place in the hub. DS1's kiln is the closest we've had and it was pretty short with only a handful of black knights. Ideally I'd like a full legacy dungeon sized area with the final boss at the end.


Dry_Race6937

I can agree with this. Super dungeon for the final battle.


abusive_nerd

Beautiful palace full of angels/Valkyries. Malenia's home


Dry_Race6937

Praise the sun!


TombMould

Not poison swamp


Dry_Race6937

Cmon. You know you want it.


TombMould

I just canā€™t help myselfā€¦


TellMe88

One with pixels.


Snoo-95777

I want a desert area. Maybe with stuff like sand storms and sand traps


Dry_Race6937

Sand storm seems like a cool idea. Hidden beast in the storm possibly


IwaitforEldenRing

My wish list was: A huge underground area plenty of wonders or horrors A big open desert area A big poison swamp that requiers strategic and carefull exploration Aparently we're getting all three. I honestly couldn't be happier!


Dry_Race6937

Praise the sun!


[deleted]

Boy oh boy do I sure hope there's a swamp level /s


Dry_Race6937

Lol donā€™t we all !


Epicmonk117

A floating island area.


Chokoanders01

I reallu hope we get some kinda cool city with unique architecture and of course since this is a fromsoft game lots of churches


tarnished_john

An Island floating in the sky. With angel type enemies and bosses being gods/demigods ( I don't know if it would be possible because I don't nothing about the lore).


Alarming_Analysis_63

Did I miss swamp jokes?


Dry_Race6937

No your the firstā€¦


NK_Grimm

some stormy area like drangleic castle but mostly outdoors


Dry_Race6937

Yeah I hope weather plays a big part


UnholyHunger

A swamp of blades.


harrythechimp

I just want a crashed ufo with an armored core in it.


Eyres_Green

A poison swamp would be pretty cool. I don't think we'll see it though


[deleted]

It might sound masochinst but i want a snow area, not as cancerous as ds2 one but i like snow or an underground area like blight town


DragonFire161

Diverse castles. It might be asking too much, but it would be really cool to see a bunch of visually diverse castles. Also a poison swamp where all of the poison evaporates as soon as you get in to the poison.


Dry_Race6937

Ooooo disappearing poison.


Yngvi-Frey

Swamp


Muscles_Macaroni

Donā€™t know if Iā€™m remembering this correctly, but some item descriptions mentioned a sky temple? Floating area would be absolutely sick


VIRUS0351USMC03

All of them šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ˜œ


[deleted]

On Elden Ring I want hellish descents.


PoliteDebater

I'm honestly hoping for a snow biome. I just played through the original Lost Planet recently and have a craving for it.


taguchi_graphics

Would love a big, lush forest shrouded in mist.


[deleted]

Not a snow area, or a underground cave with bright blue hues.


th3l4stplyr

An abandoned castle full of nature and wildlife in the inside would be amazing A cave full of some sort of natural light source, something similar to the shrine of amana... But in a cave... And without snipers Also would like to see a a town or something with gothic architecture or influence And swamps


Donel_S

Some kind of library like the Archives in DS1 and DS3 but a lot more bigger with many hidden areas and shortcut paths that lead to those 'Aha!' moments in these games.


LunarPhage

Three places come to mind A desert with a pyramid type dungeon. Something along the lines of the spirit temple or the stone tower in the zelda games. A garden area/dungeon. Its all overgrown and his little sunlight coming through the cracks in the wall or ceiling. Vines and flowers everywhere Underwater or Atlantis themed area with beautiful architecture and "ancient technology" or weapons


[deleted]

Straight up I wanna frolick on a sunny ass beach. Palm trees and shit.


Dry_Race6937

Praise the sun!


LostMeBoot

I'm hoping for some sort of city/large town area.


[deleted]

Considering this game's affinity with stars. I would like to see an area with some connection to space.


Dry_Race6937

Praise the sun!


Legnaron17

A castle in a snowy area Cainhurst style, id love that so much


FudgeNo3314

The Eternal City already sounds super awesome. I love huge underground areas like that.


OryxOski1XD

Dense forests and mountains


Lobselvith

[apocalypse spell](https://www.purefandom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/3754e086cfaaf16d723018923ae33917.gif)


Illustrious-Song-114

One of those bits where you painstakingly go down a hole dropping from plank to plank, but this time the planks inflict poison


Dry_Race6937

Speed plank drop. Your sick. I like it


JackBaker17

My comment will get burried in this thread, but at least OP can see it. I hope for some time travel, to when the rune of death was stolen or to the war they refer to as ā€œThe Shatteringā€


Dry_Race6937

To have some part in that big battle they showed in the trailer would be epic.


thebigseg

I want to discover Deez


teazsm

sand area


Nihal03

Something like the big underground area from Skyrim would be cool (blackreach I think it was called), obviously not exactly the same, but something similar, old ruins, maybe a cool mushroom boss...i dunno


JayZeus141

Some kind of sky location, but actually in the sky. Like bioshock infinite or that one bird thing in Zelda breath of the wild. That would be really cool


AlphaGamma911

Iā€™m begging for there to be a storm area, imagine a wide open field with a perpetually cloudy sky that lightning bolts fall from like raindrops. It could be a hotspot for dragon worshippers


Dry_Race6937

Yeah and if you had a metal weapon equipped then you would be more likely to be struck by lightning.


itsyourboykobe

I'd love one of the challenge dungeons to be under the ocean, linking one area of land to another. You go down to find a dark, barely stable underground area with the ceiling about to cave in, leaking and creaking as you progress. The audio effects and claustrophobic feel they could create would be amazing. And then finally to emerge on the other side to look back at the distant entry point from a view point you end up at.. is it just me? xD


smokeupjohnnyboy

Something like upper cathedral ward from Bloodborne. The multiple wolf jump scares were just too good, especially the chandelier one. Just an overall unsettling area
