Magicat your selling out
@@megoodatgame8535 i know but

@@IUseRandomPfps just do like me, don't mind. It don't change the video quality, which is enjoyable !
limgrave being the starting area carries the game's wonderful exploration so much. It's so diverse within itself while still having a clear and super interesting main path
And the content is well packet, in liurnia, content is really good, but the area is way WAY too big
@@jajasking9652 Liurnia is so big that it's actively discouraging. On repeat playthroughs this is where you just turn the game off
@@poly_g6068 yeah, i replay It anyways, but everytime i go to that area, i dread It, on repeat playthroughs anyways
In defense of the mountaintops... the scenery looks really really cool. If it was a Lords of the Ring-like montage of your character riding through it, it'd be impressive.
Looks cool but it’s atrocious to navigate when you’re new to the game
Yeah, assuming you don't get mauled to death, it is beautiful.
To me Weeping Peninsula gameplay wise feels like a beginner friendly starter area. It's a portion of Limgrave that houses a lot of great loot and easy encounters. Atleast compared to Stormveil starting with Margit.
It does it's job really well on the 1st playtrough and challenge runs imo.
I also have to give props to the thematic aspects of it. Everything from the naming to the environment tells a story about the cycle of revenge.
i feel like a great way they could have done it was to start you on the south east end of the lake so that you had the option to go towards weeping peninsula or stormveil castle
wym? there's nothing to do in the castle, you just talk to one dude at the top and tells you to fuck off.
It's good since it's an area people that want to get stronger for Margit would go, and it has some interesting stuff and good enemy scaling, unlike Elphael where everything even at 60 vigor full bullgoat hit like trucks and it's filled and structured like an DS2 Gank area in term of enemies
I’m not gonna lie I think Weeping Peninsula is part of Limgrave. Hearing Erdtree Avatar theme 1st time is empowering.
In my first playthrough, I thought Limgrave was the entire world. Lol, I was amazed like, "Wow, a whole world for me to explore!" Then I stumbled across a map that revealed a piece of the world, and I suddenly realized that all the grayed out parts were more pieces of the world. Jaw fell to the floor, and I had to turn the game off. I was so overwhelmed that a Fromsoft game had SO much for me to run around in. I wish I could relive that moment again.
I actually got mad at how overwhelmed I was at first
I wanted my first playthrough to get all weapons and fight all bosses 😂
You know it’s a good day when VaatiVidya, Zanny, and Magicat upload
Man I was thinking the exact same thing
you should really expand your youtube portfolio lol
Zanny who?
@@SCCS-cq3ggcool gaming ytber
@@Purriah🤓
I have never seen the Jail cave in Caelid, with over 400 hours and a dozen playthroughs, that is incredible
I actually like a good majority of mountaintops. It has a nice vertical layout with some cool encounters here and there (the ost is great as well). However, I agree that the frozen lake and flame peak portions of the zone, as well as the lack of new enemies bring it down a lot
The Mountaintops would've been my favourite area if it had unique enemies.
@@thegodofsoapkekcario1970 honestly same. I think it's fine as is, but the final bit leading up to the fire giant is probably the lowest point in the game for me
@@cynvic1872I genuinely think that if they removed every single enemy in this section and just fully leaned on the visual aspect it would have made a great lead up to the fire giant
@thegodofsoapkekcario1970 which it could easily have, we know kaiden warriors, fire monks, trolls, Zamor knights come from this place. They appear before and have lore reasons behind it that are totally credible, but it would have been better to see the monks, kaiden warriors and zamor knights only in this region with some variations, keeping the snow trolls, and the region would have been even more interesting, and remove some enemies like the hands, the banished knights, the albinaurics, the misbegotten.
Well, I mean the Giant bats with the spotted wings are only there.
Small correction - i'm pretty sure the dogs and birds of Caelid are in fact mutated normal animals. Their presence in mountaintops isn't just because they're some native lands between species, but rather indication that the rot has spread into the mountaintops as a result of Malenia resting in the Haligtree. Snowfields have a similar degree of corruption.
Obviously the corruption in snowfields and mountaintops is much milder than in Caelid, but it's still there.
Scarlet rot doesnt mutate, It kills and rebirth you as something else.
Im more inclined to belive those fuckers are simply scavengers, they are in too many places unrelated to rot
They are what they eat. The dogs and crows in Mountaintops are feasting on the dead giants, and you can see in Caelid there also large rotting skulls littering the hellish landscape. Rot notwithstanding, their mutations seem to have a lot to do with giants being a part of their diet from a young age
The collars also suggest they were somewhat domesticated and taken to the mountaintops rather than being native. The big crows likely just migrated.
@@poly_g6068 Its not necessarily from eating giants, just eating too much - the crows are also in Mohgwyn. It makes sense, but it doesn't change that they felt like they were unique to Caelid, and its disappointing to see them elsewhere.
The Atlus Plateau really opened my eyes to how beautiful the game is. The autumn vibe is unmatched.
Weeping Peninsula’s aesthetic speaks loudest to my soul. The beaches, the rain, the colour palette, it’s all so pleasantly somber. I really love it.
In my opinion Liurnia is the best region in elden ring. I have to admit that like you said it's way to MASSIVE! Besides that the area is awesome to look at and explore. When i first stepped outside Stormveil castle I could not belive my eyes when i saw a beautiful lake soraunded by really nice loking cliffs. And I LOVE how the whole time I was in the lake it felt like a Cthulhu monster was gonna jump out of the fog. I know raya lucaria is not a part of the region but it cannot be ignored. I personally find it really fun clearing out all the bosses in it while taking in the scenery. Also i should mention that you described Weeping Peninsula perfectly
It's the most diverse area in the game.
@@antiqua537 Riding through Liurnia at night with all the glowing blue flowers and crystals is magical experience.
I had a similar experience, and what contributed to it a lot was also realizing that there was that whole new area and the map had doubled. This felt amazing every time this happened in the game, because of course the map just kept growing
The very edge of weeping peninsula near the isolated merchant is one of my favorite areas in the game. You can hear the distant bell of the mausoleum and the expanse of the sea: it really feels like the edge of the world
If you’re gonna combine all the underground areas you might as well combine other areas, like weeping peninsula with limgrave and snowfield with mountaintops
Castle Sol and the first huge bridge in that region are the best parts in the Mountaintops of the giant.
i'm wondering if crumbling farum azula could have made it into this vid? feels big enough to be considered a region and not a legacy dungeon. loved the vid!
Says a lot about how good that area is, but no I think I'd rather count it as a legacy dungeon.
@@magicat7356 what about the Haligtree?
why would haligtree be any different?
@@magicat7356 so Haligtree is a legacy dungeon to u?
@@vilkkku1848it's not open and has no dungeons. it's very linear.
Gonna be honest the first time I went to Siofra river and the false sky opened up I was absolutely amazed. I wondered how there was a starry sky above
Still dont know why there is 😂
@@alexterieur8813A bare bones explanation off my memory is the people down there originally lived above ground and worshipped the sky, when they were banished down there they missed seeing the sky and basically made an artificial sky down there to mimic it
Tbh I think mountaintops is mediocre at least, decent at best, Yes, I agree the reuse of enemies isn’t the best, but at least they aren’t bad enemies, and its great visually (Which is not saying much since every other region besides gelmir and snowfield and better looking lmao) and I like the traversal of it with the chains and bridges
It's dull, but harmless overall.
Dragonbarrow becomes a better region when you know where you’re going on subsequent playthroughs and can get the dectus medallion, radagon’s soreseal, the nights cavalry cheese, greyoll, greyll, and a putrid avatar on a single route for an absolute fat stack of early-game cash that will keep your levels comfortable until like Leyndell, and you can teleport there within the first hour of starting a new save (plus none of these bosses are too difficult relatively speaking), the pure convenience is great.
Good video, I agree with most of your points, especially in regards to Mountaintops and Caelid. However one thing I do find strange is that you have not ranked the smaller Legacy Dungeons (places like the Shaded Castle, Caria Manner, Castle Morne, Divine tower of Caelid, Carian Study Hall, etc.) in any of your videos, when a lot of these areas probably have more going on than say the lake of rot. I would be really interested to hear what you have to say about them.
Hi Magicat. Could you make a video where you rank the minor legacy dungeons (maybe + chariot dungeons)?
So glad you’re keeping your promise about the Erdtree Avatar video
Also holy shit Raid Shadow Legends sponsor
altus plateau is absolutely my favourite area in the game, the music that backs it really just gives you the feeling of a once mighty kingdom thats long past its prime
It lowkey reminds me of Akkala from BOTW
I don't know why but I love Consecrated Snowfield. It's probably my favorite open world area in the game
Honestly I was one of my favourite parts of the game. The ambience and buildup for the Haligtree was so exciting for me and it made me super excited for what’s next. The area itself looks cool as well and I’m so sick of people shitting on it.
Well done video, cheers from Germany
Thanks from finland
I don't really understand how you separate the areas. In my mind, the Weeping Pennincula is part of Limgrave, and Mt Gelmir is part of the Altus Plateau. If you separate them, you should really count Dragonbarrow, the East and West or North and South of every region. I don't mind too much, since it let's us hear more of your thoughts on the game and regions, but it's strange.
Dude what more could I want? I just played the Lies Of P demo for my first time today and see Magicat my favourite ranking youtuber uploaded an Elden ring video. On top of that EVEN Zanny uploaded today.
I like the fact that Weeping Peninsula is so unremarkable. The Elden Ring feels so much more alive bc of that.
Every country has land that seems inconsequential and unremarkable when compared to any other place within the said country. And the Weeping Peninsula is that place. Caelid had the most significant fight in the entire Shattering war, Liurnia is the most educated and sophisticated area, Altus Plateu is the most significant area in the ER, The mountain tops of the giants is rife with deep history, Limgrave is the most populated area in the Lands Between, and Weeping Peninsula has nothing significant about it. The most significant thing to happen in it is the misbegotten rebellion. Hell, every other area in the game has historically significant creatures either guarding it or rulling over it and the Weeping Peninsula has some random knight at the helm of it as a ruler.
Weeping Peninsula is the quiet, small town in the middle of nowhere where everybody knows each other of the Lands Between and I love that about it.
Deeproot depths is my favorite from the underground areas. Seeing the the nest with the ant queens for the first time was so creepy. On 1.00 the atmosphere was even better too. Shame the simp squad sucked but fortunately Fortissax made up for it
This area made me think of a darker version of ash lake, it was great
@@maceo9949 Oh yeah that was what I thought too, especially with the hidden path from the three fingers.
@@doromizu. Why was it better in 1.0 ?
@@BastosFC2 I just prefer the lighter sky
@@doromizu. I didn't know they changed it
Altus Plateau is goated asf. Amazing aesthetic and visuals with all the ethereal banners everywhere. The music is beautiful as well.
The Haligtree was one of the coolest experiences the first time I found it
Mountaintops used to be connected to Caelid... making the Lands Between form a Ring. Hence having the same enemies as Caelid, really fucking sick environmental storytelling. Still a lower tier area but no way does it make the game actively bad.
Glad you're back making ER vids. Will top 10 Erdtree Avatars premiere before ER DLC releases?
That makes sense... but now Mountaintops is literally as far away as humanly possible from Caelid, so it doesn't make sense.
@@magicat7356I mean if the enemies where the same before it split the enemies wouldn’t just change from the other region they just aren’t connected
But wouldnt that imply that the crows and dogs looking like that is normal? They look really fucked up, especially the dogs, and as magicat said seem to be a result of the rot in caelid, if they made normal giant dogs and crows then it would make sense and it would also be really amazing to walk through there and see normal versions of those enemies in my opinion
@@magicat7356 There's indications, both in an incantation and a map description, that the dragons, crows and dogs (these two more implied) ran away from Mountaintops many years before the game, not to mention the giant skeletons only present in those two areas, so it makes a lot of sense. Distance and years aren't an issue.
A new video by magicat, the magical cat
Wow didn't expect some of the takes, but your points were pretty good.
Altus still remains my favorite, i really loved exploring it.
Overall ranking:
1. Altus Plateau
2. Limgrave
3. Liurnia
4. Caelid
5. Underground
6. Mt Gelimir
7. Weeping Peninsula
8. Snowfield
9. Mountaintops
First time playing Elden Ring I got up to the Manor in Liurnia. I didn’t know about the arrows. When they came storming down I fled and then found out I needed to progress through them. That will forever be one of my favorite moments in Fromsoft history.
The return of the king
What soundtrack did you use for each area?
You neglected to mention how cool it was to do tower in Caelid for the first time.
I still find it really weird how you can’t take your horse out during any part of Ainsel River. It would be a bit too easy for a lot of it but at least the part when you get the Nokstella site of grace just seems like you should be able to ride a horse.
I remember reading somewhere that Ainsel River was made before the horse was added to the game
mt. gelmir being that low is a crime tbh, but I suppose it makes sense considering what it's up against.
also personally I like mountaintops and snowfield alot, but they don't really compare to the other open world areas, although I could say that they're better than weeping peninsula.
Mountaintops of the giants is one of my favorite open regions to invade
The consecrated snowfield makes me kinda sad tbh because it has the BEST ambience and atmosphere imo. I think there should have been a little more to this area, maybe a new enemy or something else to do and see here, i still like this region tho, the ost makes me feel melancholic and nostalgic.
I also think it wouldn't have killed the devs to turns the snow down a little bit in the southeastern parts of the map.
@@K0DA._.nah i like the heavy snow it gives the region its identity.
@@skeb3199 Also thematic as hell, considering the Haligtree is a sanctuary for lost souls, and typically you're always lost before you are found, which the blizzard conveys beautifully
I honestly think its great as it is, and don't know why so many people dislike it. There's plenty of interesting stuff - navigating the blizzard, avoiding the Dragonkin spirits, dodging the electric orb things and runebears to get all the loot, the wolfriders, the frenzy trolls and yelough anix tunnel (one of the few really unique mines in the game, and easily the best one imo), the Mausoleum surprising you with magic artillery, and even though the Albinaurics aren't new its so long since you last fought them that I was happy to see them. I also (controversially) really like Ordina. The snowfields aren't as dense with content as the rest of the regions, but like Magicat said that works with the aesthetic/vibe.
I do wish that Mohgwyn was connected in a more interesting way than just a standard waygate though.
@@saulgoneman Well , you can enter the mohgwyn palace by doing the varre questline , this is how i entered here for the first time .
The Weeping Peninsula is an excellent opening area in ER - it’s where the spent a lot of my early game time
The scale of mountaintop of the giants is worth the price of admission. That bridge is epic
I really disagree with the whole issue around the Caelid animals returning. The mountaintops are about as close as you can get to the Haligtree without actually being there. If they were to appear again, it makes sense to me that they’d be there. Y’know, adjacent to the Goddess of Rot.
Mountaintops is better than snowfield imo, atleast the ennemy are decent to fight (the monks) and there is a mini dungeon in it. Consecrated snowfield just feel blend and boring to explore.
Personally, I think there are only 5 regions, with 4 of them having major sub-regions. Also, Mountaintops has an additional path at the west end of the valley, where you can find a spirit-spring that takes you to a hidden merchant and the Stargazer Ruins. You can also cross from one side of the upper layers to another via the invisible bridge connected to the mage tower.
Also, I don't think holding replay value against some of these is the most fair criticism, since, by design, discovery is a major part of their appeal and that can't be reproduced on subsequent playthroughs. I don't think being less replayable is an inherent design flaw; that's just how open world games are.

Sounds like a great deal!
Going to Gelmir early (before Caelid or Leyndell) is an awesome experience. On my first and blind playthrough, the fallingstar beast absolutely fucked me up. I think I died less killing the tree sentinel and tree spirit out of the gate.
The partitioning in this video is a little bit off, weeping peninsula and the consecrated snowfields are just sub sections of their main regions (Limgrave and Mountaintops).
Fire Prelate is in a few different places! 2 in Mountaintop and 1 in Fort Laidde
But ones with whip? That's what I was talking about
@@magicat7356 The start of the Chain Bridge I think in the Mountain Top
What's the song at the beginning of the video?
Assassin's Gambit makes Ordina so much more bearable.
I always do the first Volcano Manor assaination quest to get it, along with the Scaled set.
Don’t forget you can also get it early by killing Bernhal then accessing the Manor shop later, then no need to kill Rykard or do the quest. Useful for a speed run
@@blazex224 You're right, but I usually go to Mt. Gelmir anyway to collect the map and fight the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast (low-key a really good boss), so I figure I might as well do the assassination guest to grab the aforementioned Scaled set, which is a great armor set for the mid-game.
I agree with mountaintops being the worst region but putting it in bad tier is kinda overkill imo. I'd put it at mediocre really.
I think the fact that it lowers the quality and pacing of the end game so much warrants the tier, even if on its own its not that terrible
Pretend that the Death(rite) Birds don't have a lock on point on the head and the things become infinitely better. The one in Caelid has a terrible arena but apart from that they become decent bosses.
They are good bossfights tbh, as well as genuilly rather really hard bosses if holy damage is not used ( i Guess this hard bossfight having holy damage as super weak point is the reason of why holy kinda sucks at almost every other point of the Game, not even becuase the sources of holy damage are weaker than the others, but becuase almost every enemy has holy resistance
They have lock on point on their torso.
@@user-hs4ro3uv1f Yeah that was what I was implying but I should've said so explicitly.
Yeah the Caelid one can go fuck itself, I don't know why they put a boss that demands a lot of movement from the player in area with roots and shit constantly getting in the way.
22:14 Ngl that kind of semi-open world level design seems to be exactly like what they’re doing with Armored Core VI.
Don't know if you would count them as destinct regions but i feel like Farum Azula and the halig tree are kinda missing for me
Haha while I Really agree on exploring Siofra and the rest of the underground world, I got really surprised that you didn't mention Farum Azula!
7:09 really? I LOVE it, this is so different and challenger, you have to trace a path when the city is quiet, then runs trying to avoid the assassins, it's just amazing a challenge and puzzle whithout battle, i love so much
It is an interesting concept but it can be frustrating. The archers deal tons of damage and can easily spam the arrows to kill you really fast. And the invisible assassins are annoying with the grabs since you cannot see what they are doing, so there is no way to know the grab is coming your way. I had a time where I got grabbed, walked a few steps and got grabbed again.
But, last time I decided to use Assassin's Gambit to sneak through and it was much more enjoyable experience. Avoiding the archers and making sure there are no assassins pursuing me. It feels like it was made for a good old stealth.
It was cool for the first time, but for people who replay these games a lot like Magicat, it probably gets really annoying and time consuming on consecutive plays. In fact, most souls players seem to hate gimmick sections/fights because of it.
@@alisthesia Yeah, the fun is figuring the gimmick for the first time and solving it. It kinda becomes a chore on repeat.
It depends on the gimmick tho for me. I am also big replayer and some gimmicks I enjoy, while others not so much.
@@lordofthecookie8555 this is why the torch in Altus Plateau, which tells you that reveals the invisible assassins, is important in that section. If you don't use it, then of course they'll murder you.
Still annoying for the archers suckers. But you only have to fight one assassin, which is easy with the torch.
@@enman009 Oh yeah, I actually remembered the torch while writing this.
Sadly I always forget about it's existence since it is such a niche item that is useful in just 2 situations. Ordina and that one cave in Altus that also has an invisible assassin.
And it is sold by an merchant you can easily miss. But thanks for the reminder.
You first encounter the Fire Prelate in the small castle in western Mt Gelmir, your encounter at mountaintops isn’t likely your first.
WHIP variant you only face in mountaintops
In my opinion, here's my order:
Bad: consecrated snowfield
Mediocre: Mountaintops of the Giants
Decent: Weeping Peninsula
Good: Liurnia of the Lakes, Underground, and Mt Gelmir,
Great: Caelid
Amazing: Limgrave and Altus Plateau.
I agreed with almost everything, but I would change the top 4. For me is
1. Underground/Eternal cities
2. Altus Plateau
3.Liurnia
4.Limgrave
Whats the sword in his right hand? I wanna use an executioner style gs but haven't found one yet.
That's Claymore, you can get it from Castle Morne
1st: Underground Zones
2nd: Caelid + Dragonbarrow
3rd: Faram Azula
4th: Limgrave + Weeping Peninsula
5th: Altus Plateau
6th: Liurnia of the Lakes
7th: Mt. Gelmir
8th: Mountaintops of the Giants + Consecrated Snowfield
I would personally Put the Underground Areas behind Altus. But when we ignore this, am I ranking the Regions exactly like you. So much Solid criticism or good stuff to say, for each Region. My Brother didnt realite how awesome Liurnia is, before I opened his Eyes. Everybody loves Caelid so much. But how you mentioned, no Legacy Dungeon and Greyolls Dragonburrow scks. I love your content Man. FIND MORE STUFF TO SAY ABOUT A FRANCHISE WITH TO MUCH CONTENT LIKE THIS!! I dont care, SOULS CONTENT IS SOULS CONTENT!
while I agree that mountain tops of the giants is the worst area. Its super easy to get through on torrent and I appreciate the change in scenery. I don’t think it makes the game worse. It just doesn’t add much except for a snow area and a few good bosses.
Hot take but I think Mountaintops is underrated. The lore is better-understood now, so I feel like the weight of the catacombs and caves have more meaning now. The "reused assets" are there with purpose (the birds and dogs from Caelid, who are fighting the keepers of the flame, mind you, are not unlike the birds of Mohgwyn Palace - clearly these creatures aren't natural, but rather they might be connected to the fiery, tainting corruptive influence of these outer gods like the Fell God, Rot God, and Formless Mother). There's a lot of hidden stories there, and a somber atmosphere. And it culminates in one of the best legacy dungeons in the game - Farum Azula.
Personally, I think the weakest is Caelid. That shocked me, too, when I thought about it and came to this conclusion. But yeah, don't get me wrong - Caelid is one of my favorite areas in terms of visual aesthetic and atmosphere. However, I don't much care for its side dungeons nor the majority of its catacombs/caves/bosses. For me, what makes an Elden Ring dungeon enjoyable to explore on replays is soaking in their stories and the smaller stories you might find within, spelling out more of the history in the area. However, because Caelid was nuked by a rot war, most of its areas are reflective of that. And while for some, like Gael Tunnel, use this to horrific effect, most just don't have that to me. I can't quite put my finger as to why, other than... it's the Lands Between's history that's now missing in most of these areas, which make them interesting, I suppose. They've all been touched by the war, and for me that translates its dungeons into blending together.
On top of that, I'm not much of a fan of its layout, gameplay-wise. I find needing to do Sellia's torches to take more time, and thus be more tedious, than Ordina. And it's always to do Milicent's quest, which you'll likely always want to do to get the talismans and Ancient Somber Smithing Stone. And then there's Dragonbarrow, which is a great area, but because of the level divide between it and Caelid proper, you're forced to awkwardly come back in the endgame when you're leveled for it, all for an area with not much environmental storytelling happening in the west - not as much in the east, which most players are going to have awkwardly stumbled upon early through D's questline, in all likelihood.
None of this is bad, mind you. I love Caelid and what they did with it, even all the stuff I've nitpicked. However, we're ranking these, and it's for these reasons that Caelid winds up as my least favorite area. This is despite Radahn being one of my favorite FS bosses of all time.
You technically don’t need to do sellia to do Millicent’s quest line there are alternate ways to get up there from I think dragons barrow .
@@loftwingheropon2743 If you can kill her for the prosthesis-wearer's talisman, then that's nice. I never tried that actually. Alright, that mildly fixes one of my gripes with Caelid lol
It's just incredible to see how much this community tries to justify lazy/poor game design cuz of "mUh LoRe".
@@HopefulNihilist You do not have a stronger argument than me.
@@jackreacher7495
You have no actual argument at all, fam. You're quite literally just saying: X is good because lore. There's nothing else to it.
I'm old enough to remember a time when From weren't this lazy Fcks they are today and would add a little flavour to their reskins. Like the werewolves in BB. But they couldn't even do that much with Elden Ring.
Altus Plateau=Yellow Limgrave. That’s what I think of every time I arrive there.
Is Liendel considered a legacy dungeon not an area?
i feel like the problem with mountaintops is that people keep trying to speedrun through it because it's near the end of the game and most people are tired. overall it has a fair amount of content and is great to explore if you let yourself relax and take the time to do it. you know what area actually sucks ass in terms of being huge and mostly empty with just your horse to run through ?
fucking liurnia
edit: did you .... not explore the fire castle? it has a prayerbook and the one eyed shield and and multiple npc fights. it's not a legacy dungeon but it's not just walls either
also dogs and crows are normal in mountaintops too. they're carrion feeders. they're on a desolate battlefield where giants were once fought
Calling Ordina Liturgical Town the "Ordinary Literal Torture Town" is peak comedy 😂
I'm using it from now on
what's the song in the liurnia section of the video?
Demons Souls remake Maiden Astraea
Which will we get first: DLC or Erdree Avatar ranking? Only time will tell
Idk why but when ya were doing the at the time skit all I could think of is the SpongeBob skit when he keeps saying….at night
Caelid is actual hell on earth.
Just got elden ring for the first time yesterday and now i will be able to relate to this game, keep up the good work bro love your content.
Btw do u have any tips
Don't recommend exploring absolutely every corner if you don't wanna get burnt out, if you get hungry for more you can leave stuff for replays

Couldn't agree more with the underground levels being the best regions in ER.
Liurnia to me is far more terrifying than Caelid. Especially the lake portion. Too many giant lobsters, those bell-ringing cunts, bad visibility even at noon, poison flowers sitting on every valuable item, and it's just endlessly big. In Caelid the only really terrible part if Sellia with the invisible motherfuckers. Otherwise I just stick to cliff edges and avoid most of the enemies.
The Shuning Grounds is the best area bar none !
It seem like the dog was taken to mountain top with their collapse and the crow seem to fly there on their own. But yea they could've just not using kaiden in limbgraves and making kaiden and zamor hero the common enemies there.
My ranking of the regions would be:
1. The Underground (Siofra, Ainsel, and Deeproot Depths)
2. Liurnia of the Lakes
3. Limgrave and Weeping Peninsula
4. Caelid and Dragonbarrow
5. Altus Plateau and Mt Gelmir
6. Mountaintops of the Giants and the Consecrated Snowfields
I didn’t include the quality of the legacy dungeons, because not all regions have legacy dungeons. I made this list based off of the quality of the main path, the visuals and atmosphere, and the optional content.
Idk if it's just me, but I find Mountaintops significantly better than Consecrated Snowfields. There's just nothing there except warps
Actually, all the ladders in Gelmir are to prepare you for the eater snake.
Wait...
Surprised you didn’t include Moghwyn palace in underground.
If someone watched this in isolation they might end up thinking you didn't even like the game
Weeping Peninsula is literally just one big DS3 Easter egg, that's it
Will you make FF16 boss rank?
from worst to best imo and why
-#10 Snowfield ❌😒
Its boring, overly punishing, restricted vision
But it looks cool
(but lets be real whenever you open elden eing are you saying
“Man cant wait to go through the consecrated snowfields !!🤓”?)
-#9 Caelid 🤢
Caelid does an amazing job in making a setting that you don’t want to be in
…
so why the hell would i want to play in it? Its ugly and has annoying enemy’s and disappointing exploration
-#8 Weeping peninsula 🫤
This area truly feel like a waste of development time…but its an addition to limgrave
-#6 mt gelmir 😐
I love the build up to mt gelmir but lord it was a short lived disappointment everything is peaking in the mid category it doesnt feel like your at the “volcano manor” it feels like limgrave (rocky)
…
Its not bad but its not amazing wither perfectly balanced in mid
-#5 Lurania lake 😯
I love the view, the enemies are lame and the Travel time is to long (making good use of the horse mechanic)
-#4 underground 😮
This and lurania lake are really on the same level to me except when you reach the underground your character build starts to really develop
Its pretty criminal to put ALL the underground in one category but whatever
The shock factor and the spectacle is what raises this area above the rest other than that it feels like an area you just run through
-#3 altus plateau 😎
Very unique and beautiful area with cool and challenging enemies (for the most part)
Also best castle in the game
-#2 mountain tops of the gaints🥶😳
Now…let me explain
The hype i get from the mountain tops of the giants is unmatched being in the cold and getting the most difficulty out of a huge icy mountain makes it feel really special
The area looks just straight up amazing and i don’t mind reusing the same enemy types ( i hate dogs and birds but i can look past it)
Knowing that late game is in a snowy area sounds cool as hell and it is!
The fire looks amazing in it although the fire gaint is mechanical a sad boss
But oh lord farum azula is my favorite location with my favorite bosses
-#1 limgrave ❤🥺
Ah good ol lim grave
This area feels like home its relaxing and lies in a special place in everyones heart
Coming back to it feels great every time
Well this comment is mainly for me to reflect on but lemme know what you think ☠️
I have a lil free time to argue
I started crying laughing after the first 5 seconds
Honestly I don’t mind the mountaintops, but I hate the consecrated snowfield. The snowstorm on a first playthrough with those bow users on the wolves made it miserable.
Absolutely disagree, liurnia is not too big. The reason why it looks so good is because of the scale! You can see raya lucaria towering above the lake throughout the entirety of liurnia. I've put like 500 hours into the game and I'm always glued to liurnia because of the view.
Curious where farum sits in the list
Niall is very underrated I’d agree. I’d say mountaintops is mediocre not bad
The mountaintops of the giants isn't my favourite area, but I don't really like it. Despite that it isn't as big as it may look. The area of the mountaintops where you can go to is about as big as caelid without dragonburrow. It just looks very big on the map.
Problem is that even though its not as big as other regions, it's all linear and narrow so it takes longer to reach the end of Mountaintops compared to Caelid, and pretty much every zone except maybe Liurnia.
@@magicat7356 But it's still very small and easy to move around. Unless you're doing Castle Sol and every cave, it's by a good margin the smallest open area of the game.
Mountaintops and Consecrated Snowfield definitely got a demon ruins treatment, I love the area and the atmosphere, but enemy wise it’s trash, nothing unique to offer really
My rating:
9.Limgrave
8.Altus
7.Consecrated snowfield
6.Liurnia
5.Mountaintops
4.Weeping Peninsula
3. Caelid
2. Underground
1. Mt. Gelmir
Matchycat!!!
For me, the weeping peninsula isn’t separate from limgrave
I disagree with liurnia being to big in scale. I am actually for adding more space to smaller zones. It gives you the feeling of actually traveling somewhere and gives you an opportunity to soak in the ambience and atmosphere. Cramping the content too close together robs a zone of its sense of scale.
Exactly! It's a work of art and is easily my favourite area of the game.
