Hidetaka Miyazaki’s Most Diabolical Elden Ring Map Decision Needs To Be Studied

The Lands Between has easily become one of the most iconic open-world video game maps ever. Unfortunately, it does not come without its own flaws, including how Hidetaka Miyazaki felt it was justified to include Elden Ring’s most daunting region just beside the starting area for the player.

Booting up the game by FromSoftware, our tarnished character first lands in Limgrave, which further connects to different areas such as Liurnia of the Lakes and Caelid. It is the latter that gives players the most trouble, and there is nothing we can do about it. 

Hidetaka Miyazaki took his creative liberty way too freely regarding Elden Ring’s map

As said before, Elden Ring’s open-world map is easily one of the best ones out there. With enough time, you might even get around the starting Tree Sentinel if you choose not to ignore it. However, all hell breaks loose as soon as you step into Caelid, which happens to be the game’s very own torture chamber for the player.

Thanks to the close proximity between Limgrave and Caelid, new players often wander into it long before they’re ready. Whether it’s through an innocent stroll past the rot-filled cliffs or an unfortunate teleportation trap hidden in a chest, many find themselves trapped in an area where they can win no battle. Here’s what the perspective of a new player looks like entering Caelid, shared on Elden Ring’s subreddit.

Even though it’s punishing, the main problem with the hell-like area isn’t only the difficulty. The fact is that Caelid is straight-up annoying, with every enemy down there feeling like they were designed specifically for you to throw and break your controller off the wall. 

Caelid: The home of Radahn

The area is also home to one of the hardest bosses in the game, Radahn. The demigod was the son of Radagon and Rennala and received a piece of the Elden Ring once it was broken. He also plays an important role for the players interested in playing out Ranni’s questline, which unlocks the special Age of Stars ending to the game.

Then there’s the Scarlet Rot, the most annoying status effect FromSoftware has ever made. Unlike poison, which slowly takes away your health, Scarlet Rot melts your health bar at an absurd rate. What’s even worse is that nearly every surface in Caelid is infected with this disease.

The most astonishing fact about this all is how Hidetaka Miyazaki consciously and deliberately made the decision to place Caelid next to Limgrave. Some would even say that he knew exactly what he was doing at the time.
