The Way of Kings is a map inspired by Elden Ring and the Dark Souls franchise. It must be played in 1.19.4, and it does not require any mod. It has been created for single player only.

You will have to explore a huge, interconnected kingdom, traverse dangerous areas and fight your way through hordes of enemies and challenging bosses. As a Pretender, your duty is to face the old rulers of this world in order to gain enough power to kill the Great King Magnus and take his throne. This quest will see you ascend to the kingdom's highest peak, and descend to its darkest corners.
This map features :

- 15 interconnected areas, with different moods, mechanics and sets of enemies
- around 50 types of enemies, some of them with custom sets of attacks and abilities
- 13 bosses with a vast array of abilities, some of them having two phases... or more
- a complete upgrade and levelling system for your character, your weapons and your health potion
- a lot of weapons, talismans and spells that fit various playstyles and strategies
- a completely reworked health and stamina system modelled after Dark Souls' endurance management
- a bonfire system that allows you to level up and update your spawnpoint
- a selection of some of the best soundtracks taken from the Souls franchise
- a collection of NPCs ad merchants linked to side quests and achievements
- a clever world and level design that make you search a maze-like kingdom from top to bottom
- a secret ending requiring you to solve the land's most obscure secret and to fight its most terrifying enemies...

And much more ! I have tried to recreate most of the Souls franchise mechanics in this map, from the combat to the bosses, without forgetting the upgrade and level up systems. It is quite difficult too, as you will have to traverse maze-like levels filled with dangerous enemies, and fight ruthless bosses. To give you an idea of the difficulty level, my brother died approximately 50 times during his first playthrough. I have tried to keep it fair at all times, though.


Estimated play time : 10-12 hours.

Hello, there is a place in the sanctuary where you can use this item to upgrade the flask ; just click on the corresponding button on the wall. I guess you have already been to the sanctuary if you have a flask shard, but if not, you will soon reach this area anyway.

I just defeated Solarius and got the Rampart Key. I went outside and pressed the button to open the gate in the Queen's Garden, though now that I've done that I can't figure out how to actually get outside the Solarius boss fight area again. Are the iron doors near the button supposed to open? Or are you supposed to be able to take the elevator near Milius and the campfire? Or is the door to the main part of the castle from the boss fight room supposed to open again? I'm just a bit confused.

Hello, the glass door you went through is supposed to have disappeared and you have to go back through the castle. You can use a command or switch to gamemode creative to break it and then continue through the castle. Please check that you are playing in version 1.19.4, because this glitch is not supposed to happen (I see no other reason for it to happen)

I am in 1.19.4. And the glass has disappeared, but the fences have not. So should I be able to just break through those without breaking the map?

Ok, I see, that's weird because it is not supposed to happen either. Normally you must have opened the fence gate to access the boss, then it stays opened forever and you can just walk freely between the castle and the sanctuary. So yeah, you can just break the fences and go back to the castle, this is the intended path. Thanks for letting me know about this issue !

Ah, alright! I think I know what happened. I approached the fence gates and was teleported into the room through both that and the tinted glass. Are you supposed to have to open the fence gate from elsewhere before fighting the boss?

Yes, the door is closed and you must open it from somewhere else before fighting the boss. I thought I double-checked, but apparently the detection to enter the boss room is still broken. I'll fix that !

Hello, I planned to update it to 1.20 but there have been unexpected issues (mainly, some commands changed between versions, breaking most of the map). I am working on an update, but it will remain in the 1.19 version
