If you Google the size of the Elden Ring map, chances are you’ll see the same image repeated throughout the results: 79 km2. That place will not tell you – and may not know themselves – is the base for 79 km2 The picture is a reddit post from a user Lusty-Batchwho on February 27, 2022 said “My food was hit harder than expected so I calculated the size of the full map, using the size of my horse and bridge to estimate the length.”
Many searches have humble origins.
While I think we can all applaud Lusty-Batch’s initiative, it has made for an incredibly fun pool experience. Good luck, thanks for the efforts of the YouTuber AddypaloozaWe finally have the scale of the Elden Ring map with a little more tension behind it.

In a video showing the Elden Ring geographic survey, Addypalooza outlined two major concerns with Lusty-Batch’s assessment (none of which involved practicality or measuring horse). First, Lusty-Batch’s 79 km2 The image measures the entire Elden Ring map, mostly water. Second, removing all that water would still not account for the fact that most of the remaining area is not navigable for the player. Rather than measuring the weather of the entire area of the middle ground, Addypalooza needs the measurement of the Elden Ring’s playground.
To find that measure, Addypalooza started by creating a template for Elden Ring’s illustrated in-game map. Simply, FromSoft’s game maps are designed to use meters as a unit of measurement, so use the map editing software to measure the length of the identification – in this case, the bridge to the Divine Tower of Limgrave – provide a “measurement stick” to determine the scale of the game map.
With the scale established, Addypalooza uses image analysis software to control the boundaries of player-navigable spaces in each Elden Ring area, allowing it to calculate the overall size of the game. playable area. Throughout the video, embedded above, Addypalooza provides interesting details and comparisons to the main objects of the Elden Ring area, like the fact that the Middle Lands of them all came Voluntarily fit into the pool from the big island of Tuvalu. The visual presentation is excellent, too. It’s definitely worth watching.
Altogether, Addypalooza covers a total area of 13.48 km in the Elden Ring2– a smaller image than the previous one. Importantly, the scale does not include the Elden Ring’s many caves, catacombs, and castle interiors, but from Addypalooza’s estimation, these areas are “little more than an error compared to a big open world.”
In total, Addypalooza estimates they will be together to a width of 1.5 km2means that Elden Ring’s entire park is around 15 km2.
Of course, that leaves the Shadow of Erdtree, but don’t worry. Addypalooza takes the same measurements for the Land of Shadows, too, measuring its explorable area at around 5.5 km.2putting the combined play area of Elden Ring and DLC at approximately 20.5 km2.
Unfortunately, additional measures have almost three years of research the longest age if we think that there will be a competition from 2022. Hopefully, this story is well started.
