While traversing the waters of the Devil's Roar, I began to ponder what other new waters could be added and what gimmicks could they possess? Then it dawned upon me, the Sea of Lost Souls.
So what was it that gained these waters its name? The cursed fog that would dance across the waters of this area. My idea would be that unlike other regions, this region will require a bit more involvement with navigating. Given the thick fog, your only way to find the islands would be by:
- following the lights in the dense fog
- following the stray bird flying overhead for land
In addition, this region could include a new predator of the sea, a goliath angler whose would use its light to draw crews out into its hunting grounds. As it draws near the player's ships, a bell can be heard ringing, this being the bell from a ship wreck that has since been lodged into the Angler's body. It would charge like the megalodon, knocking a ship's crew into the waters where it hunts them. When charging the bell will ring faster. Like with Hungering Deep, defeating it could also be for an event/mission involving the wrecked ship's former captain who would be found in a tavern on an island on the edge of the Sea of Lost Souls.
The islands of this region could be the home to various shadow skeletons, including the occasional captain who wouldn't require a bounty to take down, implying they had been a captain who had died in those waters. Around the islands could be jagged rocks and dangerous tidepools, making use of the rowboat to get in close.
It is merely an idea and would like to hear some feedback on it.
