Elden Ringfeatures a massive open world that allows players to take their time exploring the Lands Between. The world is vast, and the map keeps expanding as players progress through the story ofElden Ring. Many players probably come across new areas well after reaching the credits, and the entrance to some of these regions is cleverly hidden.
Elden Ringhas plenty of traditionalDark Soulsstyle levels despite the emphasis on the open world. They are known as Legacy Dungeons, and they feature the maze-like level design that has come to define FromSoftware’s games. Raya Lucaria Academy is one such Legacy Dungeon, and players can fight Rennala at the end of the level. Additionally, Raya Lucaria Academy is infamous for the massive ball trap and for having some of themost annoying enemies inElden Ring.
