List of the overworld Maps i found these Drakes in so far in map studio : Enir-Ilim - Overworld Shadowkeep\ Specimen storehouse - Overworld Belurat tower settlement - Overworld There has also been a brief sighting of them in the storm on your way to Bayle but they seem to disappear when the storm clears, It isn't labeled which overworld Map the jagged peak is using i'll have to dig that up but i bet it's one of those three.
Dude I love your content, it's so relaxing to watch. I'm also playing around a bit with cheat engine. And sometimes I explore the places I saw in your videos by myself. Elden Ring is such an amazing piece of art. The best example of why videogames are an art form!
Yeah I thought it was so cool that one of the dragons looked like it did a flip, like they're just flying around and casually doing tricks in the air the way that a group of dragons might And then he moved over to them, and I just about died laughing when I saw they were literally just flipping around, like no animations or anything and just rotating. Got me good.
Two additional neat tidbits: • The Shadow Lands Map still shows art for these dragons around Jagged Peak the same way that the Lands Between map does around Farum Azula. • You can also see them flying from the Storehouse Loft in Shadow Keep if you look over the Cathedral of Manus Metyr... but oddly Jagged Peak doesn't seem to be fully rendered.
On your second point i've guessed these guys could've been forgotten in more overworld versions of the map since there are a lot and it seems i was right, If i have time i could go through all those maps and see which ones still have them remaining around the Jagged Peak. Seems that both the overworld maps of Enir-Ilim and Shadowkeep have them and possibly more
@@Kami.Sensei I was wondering it it might be something height-related, but it's really neat that you got to check them out in more detail and also let them fly properly!
@@PierceArner height / render distance, also.... what is that term.. occlusion culling or something or other. Cut stuff at the max range of the players sight ect.. stuff that vanishes whgen you arent actually lookin at it to save on gpu utilization.
If you line up the Central Pillar to the Divine Towers (draw lines from between the towers and put the pillar at the intersection)... And scale it so that nothing is clipping and the Scadutree would be next to the Erdtree... The map winds up being about the size of Limgrave, and Farum Azula would fit in nicely to the Jagged Peak area *and* be able to connect to the Beastman Arena where Garrenk is. It all lines up quite nicely that way. Especially given how Bayle's ability to fly is very marginal.
Is this true?? How much scaling (downsize or upscale) is there needed to fit Shadowlands into Lands Between? Would Lord Plasc(not even gonna try to spell it) have been able to tear Azula from Jagged Peak to be outside time and space from the Shadowlands before Marika hid the Shadowlands from the Lands Between?
I don't think Farum Azula is a mystery. It used to be between Caelid and the Mountaintops, connecting them before the meteor destroyed it. The divine towers circle around what seems like what was once a lake, and there is a massive waterfall dropping to the sea supporting that idea. The sanctum has Farum architecture and it probably was part of the city, the big bridge to it adds just another evidence to it. Also drakes are near the sanctum, makes sense they would linger there after being banished, just like they linger around Farum Azula but you never encounter them in the city.
It is the most plausible explanation for sure, what makes this all the more confusing is that if you laid out the map of the land of shadow at the center of the land between the Jaggaed Peak seem to perfectly fit in top of Dragonbarrow near the sanctum, and also the Jagged Peak having Drakes and Ancient dragons corpses plus the similar Farum architecture in Bayle's Arena makes you question if there is more to its origin than just that.
@@Kami.Sensei To be clear I'm pro-Jagged Peaks = Farum, and it does line up very nicely. However we are making our own choices when we scale and align the maps... but it does line up super well
The drakes are in dragonbarrow because of the scarlet rot in Caelid, apparently they used to live in the lower areas. Source: item description of the 'Dragonbarrow' map.
1:21 - ah, that explains why I can see birds flying from Enir Ilim to the Jagged Peak or Scadutree when I'm at the Suppression Pillar, but not in other places. Since I was experimenting with Suppressing Pillar like crazy (using anything I could think of that could be a secret interaction to unmake it, like Law of Regression, Hefty Pots, etc), and I noticed these birds there, I was breaking my head if they were response to something I did or not. Oh well.
Imagine how cool it would have been to see these drakes circling around the jagged peak from basically anywhere in the map, then you finally get to the summit and the first thing you see as you approach Bayles arena is all the drakes flustering down and landing to spectate the fight, then when Bayle enters phase 2 the eruption of flame lighting kills them all and after you beat him the dragons circling the peak from distant maps don't show up anymore
I could've sworn id seen these dragons being flung around in the air during the super stormy part of the climb to bayle, nearby the lil chair guy. But perhaps I'm a fool.
You can see them from jagged peak itself, but the storm makes it very hard to do so. It takes them roughly 20 ish seconds to fully cycle around, and when they do they’ll clip past the storm filter and you can see them fly by.
Very interesting vid! Cut content like this that would have affected the atmosphere of the overworld or a level in some way is just endlessly fascinating to me.
You can actually see them during the heavy storm at the Jagged Peak Mountain side site of grace but when the weather clears, they disappear too. Although they are barely visible to begin since they are deep in the storm
That explains why there wasn't anything in my Jagged peak video, I had to clear the storm in debug mode to make it visible, maybe they are configured to disappear when the storm is gone while you're still in the mountain.
Even if we couldn’t see them from the jagged peaks it would still have been nice to see them flying through the clouds. Sometimes when waiting to be summoned I will wait at this site of grace so seeing some dragons dive into and out of the clouds would be cool to look at.
I remember that when I scaled the Jagged Peak, I saw these drakes being dragged through the sky in the area just before the lightning strikes next to the Drake corpses. I was very suprised since they only appeared once and the sky was empty of them afterwards. Given that either Bayle or the Drake Hunters kill them if great amounts, I thought it was supposed to emulate Bayle actually sending them off with a storm wind. As if if had no respect for them and simply swatted them away with his winds.
The theory Farum Azula was part of Jagged Peak kinda interesting. - Senessax is here, when all other ancient Dragons had gone to Lands Between and Farum Azula. Mean Jagged Peak could be home to Ancient Dragons, once. - Farum Azula has human statues, small, but yes, it has. They wear an octagonal crown on their heads. - The stone pillars in Maliketh's bossroom are also octagonal. Same with Placidusax bossroom. - The Octagon symbolizes the passage from the earthly plane (square) to the celestial plane (circle) or "squaring the circle", of rebirth and Ressurection. Symbolize to the Dragon: Fearsome on earth, Roaming the Sky. - The Octagon have many meaning depend on the culture. In Buddhism it means completion, in Chinese it symbolizes good luck and completeness, in Hebrew it is the number of the Lord, in Taoism there are eight immortals, and in Christianity it denotes the eight beatitudes. - Back to Ancient Ruins of Rauh, the Goddess Statues also wear an octagonal crown. This Civilization blessed by an Outer God that gave them Verdigris - a super hard, thick, solid material, Boots Strenght and Poise (super Tanky). Verdigris Set armor turned player to a living rock. Also, Rauh created Golems that can see across Lands Between. Rauh's Architecture almost anywhere too, with all the pillars are octagonal. 6 Divine Towers have Octagonal structure too. You guys can search for Video of Nameless Singer about Rauh Civilization. - Ancient Ruins of Rauh and Jagged Peak lie at 2 side of map. Belurat Tower seem like built later, same with the Scadutree because of Erdtree, so in the past, Ancient Ruins of Rauh and Jagged Peak are the highest area in this land. - Ancient Dragons have STONE SCALE. All of them. - Rauh Civilization BASED on STONE and flow of life. - They have some similar Architecture. - Also , in DLC, The colossal Dragon in Grand Altar of Dragon Communion has a pillar stone that thrust straight into its head. That pillar stone has Verdigris color. I wonder if in the past, this 2 civilizations had any connection or interaction with each other.
Possibly, they were an early bit of flair during development, but it was decided that drakes flying around the mountain would not have fit the actual feeling of area, since most of the drakes found around the Jagged Peak are decidedly... less lively.
When I saw @otzdarva's playthrough, I saw one drake flying like this on the jagged peak, on the way to the Bayle. He didn't see him, but I stopped it on the frame where the dragon was. The video is called "So... Where's Miquella? - SHADOW OF THE ERDTREE (Part 1)" the time is 7:17:18
A suggestion I have is maybe trying to find the actual physical location of Metyrs arena? I wonder if it’s stored somewhere just out of view of the normal world (similar to how Placidusax’s arena is actually just stored high above the tornado in Farum Azula.) I think it would be interesting to learn where exactly it’s located
Seconded. I think it's neat to find where certain boss arenas are stored, like how the Elden Beast's arena is far below the Stone Platform. I think it'd also be neat to see where each Ancestor Spirit's boss room is, along with the God-Devouring Serpent/Rykard's arena. I'm likewise curious about what's actually present at the underground space between the Lake of Rot and the Grand Cloister with Astel.
Woo! Some LOD exploration! I never noticed those drakes before. That comparison view of the placi and bayle arenas was great too, you can really see the similarities better. Can't wait for more!
I love the idea of Bayle's assault on Farum Azula being partially trapped in time with the Drake's still swirling around Farum Azula while being trapped in time. Eternal battle engaged, even though their leader ran away hahaha.
I don't think they "lack" the flying animation per se. Since the Jagged Peak is full of corpses of drakes I think these are dead drakes that are being swept around by the wind around the mountain. You can even see in their animation how they are rotating and spinning like their flight is out of control
That's an interesting take on this though it is debatable if the winds around the jagged peak are strong enough to carry them around and keep them trapped on a loop circulating around the mountain, We also never seen any example of this with the ones circulating around the giant cyclones in Farum Azula cause some of them fly very close by to them without seemingly being affected by the pull effect.
super cool getting to see what it would look like with the proper flying animation. nicely done! also i would kill to have the crown of the dark sun in ER! jealousy unlocked!
Since you're so good at this, could you test a little theory of mine? How does the width of the central hole of Farum Azula measure up against the width of the Scadutree? (my theory is that Scadutree was Farum Azula's version of Erdtree in the age when Placidusax was the Elden Lord of an unknown god)
I am pretty sure you can see them from Jagged Peak itself. At least I have a vague memory of seeing them while traversing through the place and being like "Cool so this is where the rest of Jagged Peak's drake population is at"
This just adds to me thinking that the land of shadow map was designed for a full blown sequel or an expansion that took a year or two longer to make and 2 to 3 times the content before they decided to downsize for other projects.
My guess is that they wanted Jagged Peak to be more desolate. There's a lot of dead dragons there, but only a handful of living ones. Having huge packs constantly flying around would have made it seem more populated than they wanted. They just, ah, weren't thorough enough in removing the assets.
I think these dragons are trying to depict the harsh conditions around the Jagged peak, since the way they "fly" looks like they are being carried by the wind current.Also, you can notice them when you are at the grace right after the ancient dragon.
Thanks for this close look at these obscure drakes! Since you're checking if they're visible from other maps, I have a similar request. Which maps show the Scadutree's canopy branches as white, and what makes the branches look white? I recall the white branches being visible from within the Shadow Keep and at Enir-Ilim, though I recall seeing them be white at night from the Highroad Cross Site of Grace too.
The white effect on the branches seem to mainly be linked to the skybox/ weather changes, When i was testing bunch of weather options and changing the skybox of certain areas in debug mode some of them had the white branches shining more than the others.
@@Kami.Sensei Interesting. Did anything similar happen when you brought the Scadutree to the Lands Between for your video comparing the three major trees?
@@Kami.Sensei This is one interesting tree! Did the vivid sunrises and sunsets of the Lands Between bring out any other colors? Also, could the entire Scadutree become white, or is there code making only the canopy branches white?
I mean it’s cool but doesn’t give much to think about, Bayle was the father of all drakes so it would make sense that some would hang out around where he currently lives. Not a hate comment, you’re doing good work here dude keep it up
Can you do a vid similar to the great trees one but instead comparing the different mountains in the game to each other (Gelmir, mountaintops and jagged peak)?
Kami, if u look down from the pedestal you’re standing on, you will find a stairs pathway- I’ve not found any way to get onto that pathway. Can u investigate this ? Thanks !
Lmfao. Thy are just lazily coded dragons that are probably supposed to me flying around in circles. 2:38 this for sure. It all tracks. Now the final remaining question WHAT are they circling.....
I tried but it kept crashing map studio and once i fixed that it either crashed the game or it appears half visible, I have that video planned for sure i'm just still finding my way around these issues first.
the text goes by a teeeny bit fast, if im not speedreading it, i have to rewind and pause almost every time. just a tiny tiny nitpick, but otherwise great stuff!
Lol imagine going through the clouds a little further and you see fucking Anor Londo jutting out in the distance but uncreachable put by FromSoft as a joke to fuck with lore analysts.
It's common practice to use level of detail at distance to save memory, their animations aren't playing because of the distance from the player, honestly speculating based on opinion is bad practice.
List of the overworld Maps i found these Drakes in so far in map studio :
Enir-Ilim - Overworld
Shadowkeep\ Specimen storehouse - Overworld
Belurat tower settlement - Overworld
There has also been a brief sighting of them in the storm on your way to Bayle but they seem to disappear when the storm clears, It isn't labeled which overworld Map the jagged peak is using i'll have to dig that up but i bet it's one of those three.

“ why didn’t I ever look that way?”
> log in
> hop on rail
> Immediately fall to my death
“Ah.”
Oh no need to risk your life like me, they are still visible if you just stand close to it without jumping 😆
Safety first, ye Tarnished!
@@Kami.Sensei You didn't say "don't try this at home" after all.
The way they wiggle in the air was so funny I'm surprised i never tried looking at the jagged peak with a telescope from Enir-Ilim before.
Yeah I thought it was so cool that one of the dragons looked like it did a flip, like they're just flying around and casually doing tricks in the air the way that a group of dragons might

I tried but it kept crashing map studio and once i fixed that it either crashed the game or it appears half visible, I have that video planned for sure i'm just still finding my way around these issues first.
@@Kami.Sensei Cool, good to know
the text goes by a teeeny bit fast, if im not speedreading it, i have to rewind and pause almost every time. just a tiny tiny nitpick, but otherwise great stuff!
Lol imagine going through the clouds a little further and you see fucking Anor Londo jutting out in the distance but uncreachable put by FromSoft as a joke to fuck with lore analysts.
you may find some interesting views while freecamming in the Fissure.
I have a video on the channel doing just that, you can check it out
I have a genuine mystery about the Jagged Peaks that I think you can provide an answer to! Do you have an email or social I can message this about?

How are they hidden if they're shown on the map
Good find boss. Drunk dragons lololol
Not the only place you can see them. I'm surprised not too many noticed
It's common practice to use level of detail at distance to save memory, their animations aren't playing because of the distance from the player, honestly speculating based on opinion is bad practice.
That's not the case, Their params have no animation value no matter the draw distance there was no speculation about that.
