    I loved how you gave elevation stats for each drop down Majula's pit and the Brume Tower. That was an excellent way to emphasize the game's journey downward to the Black Gulch and the Fume Knight respectively. The leap from the top of Shulva to the bottom was likewise great for showcasing the sheer verticality of the level in one go. Also, the fact that Things Betwixt and the (introductory) Shrine of Amana are positive and negative values of nearly the same number really makes each feel more mystical and, in the latter's case, creepy.
    It's interesting how two other key locations, the Throne of Want and the doorway before the Old Chaos, likewise use some form of six meters in height. It's almost like a height-based leyline, though this is probably a coincidence, especially looking at the state of DS2's world design overall. Thanks again, Pantagana!

      They wanted to make the distances and height differences appear greater than they actually are, without making us ride an elevator for half an hour.
      It's the same as in Dark Souls 1. When we see places in the distance, they are just low detail versions of those maps. The actual map that loads in when we get there is often closer.

      @@eliteclasswarrior94 To be fair to the Abyss, the spiral staircase in New Londo feels like it goes on for a while, and the drop through the Abyss proper adds another great distance. We also know that Ash Lake is lower in general, and the Abyss is named more for its nature in regard to the Dark than for its elevation. The real surprise is how low Lost Izalith is in the game's coordinates in comparison to Ash Lake.

      I think part of that is that the game creates the illusion of the towers being taller than they really are by placing them on top of mountains. When you look around, you see a stupidly tall tower on top of a stupidly tall mountain, but you never travel below the base of the tower, so the mountains don't actually add to the verticality of the playable space.
