Elden Ring: Nightreign’s DLC, The Forsaken Hollows, added a huge new map with a ton of locations to explore and secrets to uncover. In my last video I told you all about The Great Hollow and its major points of interest, gimmicks, and strategies for exploring and navigating it. In this video I want to tell you about the Great Hollow’s North and South Castles. Not only are they well designed, with intricate layouts and setups for lots of engaging encounters, but they’re also extremely lucrative and have some unique gameplay elements that are very cool.
