My Ranking of all Maps in Vermintide 2

[@beerasaurus]

Not liking Dawi architecture!? That's going in the book!

[@JPG.01]

Sadly all dwarven holds since LotR have looked like Moria, the great Realm and City of Dwarrowdelf. Luckily I love that style but I can understand why people might be sick of it at some point.

[@gordonz88]

@@JPG.01 but I mean how many visual media (I.e. not books) actuaaaally let you experience these dwarf holds though? Let alone interactively like in a video game? I can only think of WoW and Vermintide.

[@jacobvriesema6633]

Bummer, I LOVE dwarven ruins!

[@Yonlop]

[@atticlion7648]

Pretty sure the collective hate for Athel Yenlui is due to the shared trauma of a million lost full book runs due to the giant forest area that makes you weave back and forth across the map to get both tomes & the grim.

[@jtcLIVE]

Fair enough, although I’d argue the bigger cause for wipes in this area is people splitting up/wandering away from the group and getting separated

[@atticlion7648]

@@jtcLIVE What do you think happens in pubs while getting the books? :)

[@dearcastiel4667]

That forest portion is as fun to play as it is cancer for the run itself. I love sniping and pushing forth in that forest portion and I hate how much time it forces you to waste going back and forth.

[@BiomechanicalBrick]

Athel Yenlui grindset: go for first tome or grim, horde starts, get turned around and confused, go back to starting drop area, repeat

[@ackdca3810]

I love Righteous Stand. It’s gameplay is great and always a nice way to wind down after a frustrating day. But what truely ties the map is the grand scale and the feeling like you went through a long way. Something very fitting of getting the treatment of bearing the “warhammer” title and something that is unique to this map. The feeling of looking back from the temple to back where you started make you feels like you went through a pilgrimage.

[@Jorg13]

That's also why Horn of Magnus is still one of the most iconic missions between both games.

[@claudealpha2090]

I am quite the opposite. I love any kind of underground dungeon-themed close-quarters map such as Blood in the Darkness and Into the Nest and find open maps like Athel and Grain to be kind of dull.

[@evilduck44]

I listened to an interview with the fatshark devs where they discussed the righteous stand sigmar statue and they said that it was a decision they made a week before game released to add the sigmar statue killing everything to make it more exciting because originally it was just gonna be a holding out for a certain amount of time/ waves like horn of Magnus finale and they thought adding the raising statue and flash of light killing all the enemies made it way more exciting. I reckon Because it was so last minute I don’t think they had time to get the 5 voice actors to do some more dialogue reacting to it

[@foundati0n]

Halescourge is definitely special, and additionally so because of the absolute banger of a song in the beginning (OST "Ground Zero"), boosting the whole "Strap in team, we have a sodding sorcerer to off" mood.

[@Lasamoure]

Loves Fortunes of War and then goes on to praise rng elements and knocks a map for being predictable. Biased bipolar review 0/10 love your videos keep it up.

[@trianqren127]

That's what chaos corruption does to a mf

[@m.u.t.o5318]

I love Against the grain, it just that tall field in the beginning that make the whole map, and the STAKE and horde placement is so good. I can't get enough of it

[@AceArata]

The story JTC tells about Against the Grain is so magical i only WISH i could've experienced it that way! Against the Grain was also my first Vermintide 2 map, and I played with my best friend. Thing is, I was previously acquainted with the Skaven through Total War: Warhammer so I wasn't too shocked. What DID get that reaction out of me was when I got my first veteran deed, where if we got knocked down once, we were dead, and only elites spawned in the map. Seeing that many stormvermin legitimately made me think, "We are NOT living through this."

[@Bobely89]

We need a new tiers list with all those new maps 🎉

[@Battle_Brother-e3v]

a few ideas: tier list in terms of difficulty (2 lists, 1 for skill floor and 1 for skill sceilling) fav classes

[@JwillieTheRat]

Yes

[@Crizzly122]

Halescourge is a great map visually and thematically but I HATE fighting Halescourge himself at the end he takes forever to kill and for whatever reason I can never dodge anything he does and I always find myself getting smacked in the back of the head by fanatics every 2 seconds

[@zhihou9972]

Stay as far as you can when he throw his toxic clone

[@VicUPx]

Nice video. I agree with almost everything here. Old haunts is one of my fav maps too. I only disagree with into the nest and dark omens. Id put into the nest into love and dark omens into trash lol

[@ihateyankees3655]

I don't mind the dark section of blightreaper that much because I enjoy bashing hordes with the torch

[@XSniper74184]

I actually like the dark section in Blightreaper more than hunger in the dark just because you can spread out your light more thanks to the braziers and torches. It gives just as much feeling of a fight in the dark but with less of the not being able to see a damn thing because you strayed a meter or two from the cart while dodging.

[@ashen_strix]

Same bias towards city fights. I love this Mordheim feel from the game, something I miss a lot from V1!

[@ashen_strix]

Glad you love Athel Yenlui, I always feel lonely when I say I love it. It's a great map!

[@biblequotesdaily6618]

i like garden of morr because its a scenario straight from Gotrek and Felix: Skavenslayer

[@alexmcd378]

I disagree with a lot of these, but only because we have different priorities on what makes a good map. Within your framework, all your placements make sense. You highlight a lot of things I miss. Like the destroyed towns with corpses everywhere are just dressing to me, but when you mention stopping to think about the far reaching tragedy and death that comes from thinking of them as set dressing but as former people, it opens up a lot of environmental storytelling I was missing. You've got me tempted to do my own breakdown to see how they compare in other ways. For example, I do hobby caving, and hunger in the dark does caves really well. A video game cave that doesn't have mood lighting everywhere because darkness is bad? Fantastic 😊

[@juleksz.5785]

17:00 It's boring and hard. All you see are same tall threes, just to get few elven ruins with quite hard ending. And it lacks 'elvenity' so it seems like a wasted potencial.

[@rodonunez_]

Also more than 2000 hours and the same thing happened to me in the pit xD it was fun

[@lolilol3396]

its looks like i love all the hated map, and blightripper a lot of people hate it, because no light, but you have fire on the path and the shadow part is 10 % of the map, the rest is very good...

[@twixtwix2915]

3:40 deathrattler is hard to. Also there’s only one dlc lord and he’s the best obviously but still.

[@milat9287]

Can't relate for some reason. Always found Halescourge harder than Nurgloth by far. It's the only boss that really puts me in doubt that we're gonna finish the map.

[@juleksz.5785]

IMO dlc maps are best. Their desgn is quite good, but damn, those achievements. They are so fun and satisfying to get. They may not be challenging, but achievements bought my hearth, Especially assassins creed and dance achievemnts.

[@clickingonrats1884]

[@johnny4560]

which map has a red sky and giant floating skulls again?

[@Z3ZP]

I absolutely despise The Pit. In my humble opinion, it checks all the bad game design marks for a game like Vermintide. Its so far below the other maps, that it should have its own tier. In a sense, the name fits the map, cause its the cesspool pit of bad design.

[@zswords]

You're going to have to make a video justifying why you like Nurgloth because he is a giant useless sack of garbage of an encounter. Easily my least favourite boss in the game. ... okay he's mostly fine except for the final 3rd of the fight where he just becomes nigh on unhittable because he has 1 attack animation that can do 3 different things so you never know when you can go in and get hits or not. ((Aka: please make a guide to fighting him because he sucks.))

[@iforgotmymoney]

for me empire in flames is very forgettable bc its very grey and the end + vermintide was my first ever exposer to warhammer too :)

[@ongogablogian2525]

Skittergate should be in below trash tier
