At a glance

  • The rough prototype looks to have been binned early in development, and it's largely avoided discussion before Doneda's work.
  • Some portions appear to have been part of an interconnected area, others are likely different versions of the same concept.
  • It may have been related to what became the Undead Crypt in the final game.
  • Doneda uses Elden Ring Nightreign to load in and explore what remains of the levels.
  • The files contain a coliseum zone, mines, a strange underground tower (potentially a sequence of arenas, like Nightreign's DLC?), and a crypt portion.
