10 Open World Locations You Should NEVER Enter

[@DrAgNZRX]

I mean, for a large number of players, entering Caelid wasn't a choice. You open the wrong chest located in a ruin near the starting area and you're just stuck in a cave in the middle of caelid with no reprieve until you find the escape.

[@nakishodoglitterfox]

Very true

[@SeongJeonHwan]

agreed..one way or the other players will stuck in caelid eventually..in fact if they kept exploring the place long enough they might have even fond of the place... for me personally i disliked blighttown from dark souls 1 more than caelid 😅

[@htogr26]

The Emprise du Lion is straight-up endgame content. The dragons aren't that tough if you know how to build your characters/team well. They can even be soloed!

[@RaphBlade7]

I'd like to point out that progress in the BotW Coliseum is based upon the number of Divine Beasts you've completed! As a result, initially only a standard Lynel will appear in the Coliseum, upgrading to stronger versions for each Divine Beast you complete! This makes the Coliseum one of the few places to encounter different variants of Lynel before most of the game's Lynels are replaced by Silver Lynels through enemy progression which is tied to the number of enemies defeated rather than Divine Beasts completion! I know this as for a long time, I tried to see what I could do in-game without completing any of the Divine Beast dungeons & I learned alot about how the game reacts to different types of progression! Also, Golden Lynels only appear on the highest difficulty setting!

[@krvgames9258]

You also forgot that if you have the Master Trials DLC installed in the game, which is also how you unlock Master Mode, that a piece of the Phantom Armor set, specifically the Phantom Helmet, is at the Coliseum Ruins, so if you want to get each piece of every Armor Set, you’re going to have to go to the Coliseum Ruins to get the Phantom Helmet.

[@lonewolffang]

Given all the requirements to enter Leontine's Ring, it's almost as if the game is constantly asking you if you are sure you want to go through with this and want to you to sign a waver just in case so they won't be at fault if anything bad happens to your party.

[@jerikbishop1148]

Some of the footage for the Coliseum Ruins was from Tears of the Kingdom, and I mean as in the Depths Coliseums

[@zaturnneo]

The thing about the ruins in BOTW... Once you know how to take them out, you can kill even the toughest Lynel in no time.

[@krvgames9258]

The Phantom Helmet piece of the Phantom Armor set is also at the Coliseum Ruins if the Master Trials DLC has been added to the game. Granted, the Phantom Helmet is concealed right next to the inner wall in the northwest of the main Coliseum Ruins, and you’re going to have to sneak and stay out of the sight of the Lynel guarding it, but it is worth it. Plus, if you’re feeling really confident and you have been getting some good weapons, shields and bows, then you can take on the Lynel.

[@nstgaming631]

For corrupted zone 11 I simply stayed outside the Rock breakers programmed area and dodged the rocks they threw at me while taking them down. I definitely don't think something so easily exploitable belongs in this list.

[@RexRedwood]

If you are fighting Sirens in the boat in Witcher 3, you are doing it wrong. Dive in the water and use your crossbow. So much easier and your boat doesn’t get damaged.

[@slamwisebamgee]

I feel like Caelid gets overblown a lot. Sure, it's probably the hardest area in the beginning of the game, but once you get through Leyndell, the difficulty skyrockets, and then Caelid feels like a relaxing walk on a cool day in comparison.

[@tubensalat1453]

Among the many things I didn't like in Fallout New Vegas was the handling of spawn points. I missed a crucial save when I had finally entered the quarry proper, when I died and respawned I was outside the quarry amidst a horde of deathclaws. It was a deathloop, spawning again and again in the middle of that horde. There were also a couple of points where if you fast traveled there, the enemies would respawn and you'd be right in the middle of them (I specifically remember one with cazadors and one with those amphibian people); if you'd fast travel to a neighboring point and walked over the enemies wouldn't respawn.

[@timothypitcher7996]

Someone sure goofed with the footage while talking about Breath of the Wild's Coliseum Ruins. And just as an honorable mention, in Tears of the Kingdom, a Thunder Gleeok makes its home at the Coliseum Ruins; stay clear of that area until you're well-prepared to confront one.

[@chadflanaganCFC]

While the Quarry Junction is an area you should avoid, but it's not the area you should never enter in the base game of Fallout New Vegas that area is called the deathclaw promontory, getting to the location is tough on it's own, but the deathclaws there are even tougher as while you'll find one of the alpha male and matriarch claws in the QJ, you can find multiple of them in the promontory.

[@Ubu90]

all i need is a stealth boy and an anti material rifle

[@demonhead1610]

I know the Quarry Junction is tough.....but can I mention the Courier's Mile as more difficult??? Maybe even the Dead Wind Cavern? But def the former.....

[@TheThird1977]

If you are going to enter Leontine's ring, you should at least ask him nicely first.

[@DTraiN5795]

Fans: Caelid is tough FromSoft: Incomes the DLC Reviewers: it sucks Me: I love it

[@PharaohOfTheDamned]

"He said 'the ocean'" like how does the WHOLE ocean-

[@Benjgj]

I would have said the plains in Valheim; while mistlands and the Ashlands are of course more deadly you aren't as likely to come across one in the early days. If you are newer to the game you see something that looks like your mostly safe meadows and then suddnely deathskeetos, Fulings, Loxssssss, Fuling beserkers, enemies with 1-2 stars everywhere and you arent even safe on a boat.

[@ZeeNastee]

The mosquitos as soon as you enter the Plains are a death sentence if you're new, I didn't know what to expect with them and was rudely surprised. I'd also add the Mountains if you're new since if you try to unknowingly explore and don't have frost resistance then you're going to find out plus the packs of wolves.

[@wanxye]

Ended up on plains in Valheim a month or 2 ago and died, lost all my gear and haven't been able to recover it but I'm also too stubborn to just forget about it so I just haven't played the game

[@Mehenstein]

You guys cut in footage from TOTK for your entry about the colosseum in BOTW. You can clearly tell the gloom enshrouded enemies, and can see the Fuse abilities' icon.

[@Delsin42]

Shhhhh,nobodies supposed to know

[@the204cool]

Who tf cares

[@Sunprism]

Boy, I really hope someone got fired for that blunder

[@DonDavidly]

You are the worst kind of obnoxious. Take a hike.

[@stoneovison]

Oh, I went to Calied way before I should have! That placed messes me up!

[@Akomarongg]

2:00 did you really say a rock breaker is a weasel / shark and not the obvious Mole?

[@pepergirl001]

Wait, you're telling me I played DA:I wrong? That I wasn't supposed to build the bridge and immediately go and fight all three dragons?! I did not get that memo...was supposed to leave those for last?! Seriously?! Thank god I'm an idiot. I just fought them as soon as I could. Did it take multiple tries? Yup but, I still killed them as an archer! The Rockbreakers in Zero Dawn are annoying and maybe troublesome if you aren't paying attention, for me that damn rock spit/flying/shower(?) attack of theirs, but they aren't that hard. First time I fought them was by accident, literally galloping around not paying attention, entered their zone and got murdered but I just reloaded, went there and kill them.

[@Arrowthorne]

I remember Corrupted Zone 11. Was just wondering the planes collecting the collectables, before heading to Meridian(thats how I do things) and stumbled upon these THINGS. Wasn't so bad at first, wondered around looking for the corrupted machines but finding nothing when suddenly I'm rag dolled a dozen feet by those to MoFo's and dies. Was too stubborn to quit it took: 3 Hours of dying and respawning. 3 Ravages, that walk close 4 Snapmaws, that spawned in the river 1 Patrolling Behemoth pair spawn At the end I saved and took a dozen pictures of the area.

[@samiraperi467]

And a partridge in a pear tree?

[@alexstockwell4349]

Fallout 4: Pretty much any place that has a Mirelurk Queen, but particularly the Massachusetts State House; a Mirelurk Queen in an enclosed space. That's a big nope!

[@landonewts]

Oof, the Rockbreaker. That thing gave me nightmares. Feels good to finally dust one though.

[@the204cool]

Explosive bombs ftw lol

[@Schmidtactular]

I have a sour taste in my mouth from the first time I squared up with Kaarstag in skyrim because i was so obscenely OP when I fought him (I exploited the heck out of enchanting and alchemy and smithing to the ultimate damage sponge) that it was a fairly unnoteworthy fight and I didn't make the connection that I had fought him in blood moon in morrowind until YEARS later when I learned about it from a top 10 video like this one. It was one of those "no way moments" where you think "Bethesda is incredible" for 30 seconds before you remember that Bethesda is Bethesda and the momentary feeling of awe is replaced with the memory of Horse Armor.

[@CLNCJD94]

Ahhhh the Dragon Age Inquisition Dragons, they go from being a grueling slogfest to an easy solo depending on what build you want around level 20.

[@TheOriginalGR8Bob]

You can actually override non corrupted rockbreakers in zero dawn , They are weak to cold attacks and ropecaster . And in witcher 3 you can use crossbow while still navigating the boat.

[@D_2_da_K87]

The cave system with the faal in skyrim once you stumble in and fall there's only one way out and it's a slog if you're unprepared

[@gascraic8374]

Why are the What Culture pods pushing so many gambling advertisements. Boyle Sports, Tony Bet and Bet Fair to name a few. This audience is a young so why promote gambling so heavy?

[@PennyOMG]

Dark Souls 2 and the Dark Chasm of Old has nothing waiting for you except the Darklurker, and their buddy Darklurker waiting to jump you Compton style.

[@YahoeyV22]

Immediately thought about the quarry in fallout new vegas although if your a seasoned vet you can stroll through there with little issues if you are smart

[@v2joecr]

For Fallout New Vegas it isn't too bad if you get the Laser detonator from the Lonesome Road DLC & use it to fire unlimited rockets at the death claws. There are several videos on how to do this.

[@anthonysinclair239]

The ocean in the Witcher 3 isn't that bad if you have at least a Witcher gear crossbow and auto shoot while you sail. I managed to explore skellige after I left white orchard and had all feline gear by level 10. I will note that any bandits or other land enemies are so, so much harder and will take phenomenal skills and lots of sweat..😂😂

[@DrRexie]

I think if I was going to pick a Elden ring location it's Eva the way to the portal of the consecrated snow field towards mohgs domain or the hilltop of the mountain giants all I can say these areas are repetitive from software hell holes not to mention with the fire giant as the final boss of this area who basically you are hitting his heels with a toothpick even knowing he can literally down your entire health bar with one slap of his dinner tray here it's very unbalanced or I would use crumbling farum azaula all I can say is ancient dragons everywhere and their red lightning will literally tear for your help like a knife through warm butter

[@sinswhisper9588]

i dont know why everyone has/had problems with the dragons in inquisition -- they were easy for me as a mage (sure it took me over an hour to beat them and i had to solo them -- but i could attack them and do damage from so far away that they wouldnt even aggro to me or attack and would still take damage)

[@VioletMoonfox]

Meh, a Knight Enchanter with a weapon that builds armor physical armor and the armor material that lets you make mage robes out of plate makes can solo those dragons on Nightmare difficulty.

[@DSGE219]

Anyone notice they used the scarlet lake dragonkin fight in the caelid section?

[@Sistik123]

Never heard of the glacial cave, i know thwre is so much of the game i havent explored that i shoukd statt over and try to do everything i can possibly find lol

[@SaitoLogan]

:))) the sea of skellige is a bit tedious to sail around indeed. The map is big :/

[@divinefallfromgrace]

Urgh, those 2 Corrupted Rockbreakers, uuuurgh. Definitely best left until you have Shadow Carja gear + at least. 🤕😄

[@KGray24666]

Saw Valheim on the Thumb Nail but not on the list...Odd for WhatCulture.

[@Nightmareof94]

Well you have to go to sawtooth cauldron if you want to finish the main story also the thumbnail is just a valheim portal

[@TheBucknative]

Valheim

[@TachiFrypan]

Thumbnail is Valheim, but Ashlands did not make it to the list? O_o

[@devoradordelosmundos]

How DARE you miss the Deathclaw Promontory in FNV? I know it's an unmarked location, but you can stumble there too..

Karstagg is the only non mod boss i could never beat

Yeah right, I went into the Colisseum Ruins to get the Phantom Helmet piece of the Phantom Armor Set. And it was worth it! And stop using footage from the wrong game!

This What Culture Gaming Channel doesn’t curse. It is clearly aimed at a younger audience. So why is there multiple adds on the podcasts promoting gambling. Tony Bet, Boyle Sports, promoting soccer betting, Cheltenham, Royal Ascot. What Culture, What are you playing at?

[@stoagymahalo5268]

cough cough.... Haligtree...

[@Nathan_Talisien]

The Rockbreakers in "Horizon: Zero Dawn" aren't THAT hard after you've seen them once... Get beyond the surprise factor, and the digging maneuvers are much more tedious than they are dangerous.

[@Nathan_Talisien]

Also, Quarry Junction in "Fallout: New Vegas" is limited more by patience and ammo than anything else. I've done it at as low as level 4 on a high-Luck build with the rifle Sunny Smiles gives you during the tutorial, relying on nothing more than a Scope mod from Chet in Goodsprings and whatever AP ammo I could get.
