Clip Compares Elden Ring Nightreign's Limveld to Limgrave

An Elden Ring Nightreign player has provided a visual comparison between the Lands Between’s Limgrave map and the Limveld open world featured in the spin-off. Elden Ring Nightreign serves as a co-op roguelike where players control the world’s Nightfarers to tackle familiar, punishing bosses. The narrative takes place in an alternate universe of the Lands Between, where the world has been plagued by the Shattering, which sees monsters spawn from the Nightrain.

Elden Ring’s the Lands Between introduced the Limgrave region, and Nightreign has turned this iconic location from the first game into a procedurally generated open-world area known as Limveld. Nightreign ties into Elden Ring in several subtle ways, including achievements, the Great Runes, and the Merchants, and the former’s map also offers familiar locations with a twist for fans to set it apart from the original.

Posted on Reddit by SaukPuhpet, an overlaid comparison GIF was shared on the Elden Ring subreddit, showing 1-second previews of the Limgrave and Limveld maps. The original poster stated that the geography of both maps was relatively similar, with the biggest change being the parts that eroded into the ocean. Limveld’s key locations include Sites of Grace, the Spectral Hawk Tree, and Sorcerer’s Rise, but Limgrave is noticeably flatter than the co-op’s map. Additionally, Nightreign’s Limveld even features underground tunnels to explore, but many players feel the spin-off’s world is smaller compared to the base game.

Elden Ring fans had previously marveled at Shadow of the Erdtree’s expansive map, but Limveld feels “squished together” for some, which could have caused more mountains and valleys to form. Another Redditor said traversing in Nightreign feels quite different from Elden Ring, and several players believed FromSoftware could include a Caelid map within a potential Nightreign DLC in the future. Others kept their fingers crossed for a Shadow of the Erdtree-inspired map, which would harbor a lot of potential for Shifting Earth events, and a possible reason why the spin-off has little to no weapons or enemies from the expansion.

Going back to the drawing board, one Elden Ring fan leaked a version of the Lands Between map one year before its release, which showcased the world’s evolution. One key takeaway from the image is that the map’s landmass retained most of its original layout, including the location of the Erdtree. However, Miquella’s Haligtree, a significant point of interest, was absent from the original design. Furthermore, there was a noticeable difference in the map’s elevation that was important to note.
