I'm almost done making Chapter 1 of my metroidvania, Quest for the Golden Tome. WiP topic here: http://gmc.yoyogames...howtopic=532047

Chapter 1 is designed to be simple and strait forward. You go through a desert, fight a boss, go through caves, fight another boss. Then you meet someone who will take you to a completely different area, where Chapter 2 takes place.

You will be dropped off in front of some ruins to the right. There are five slots on the roof of the ruins. In order to enter the ruins, you need to find five symbols located around the area.

To the left is some flatlands and a cave. Going into the cave eventually leads to a boss fight. This is where you find one of the symbols.

If you go over the cave, there will be more flatlands. You'll come across a booster that will fling you up into a sky tower. If you climb to the top of the sky tower, you'll fight a boss. It will give you a symbol upon defeat.

If you ignore the boosters and keep following the flatlands, you'll bump into a maze of thorns. This is basically a jump challenge. Make it to the end, and you'll find another symbol.

I need ideas for areas where you find the last two symbols before you can enter the ruins, but I don't know what these areas should be nor do I know where these areas should be placed.

Anyways, after Chapter 2, you'll be flying in a hovercraft. The main antagonist ambushes you and you crash in a jungle. In order to escape, you'll need to gather ingredients to make a teleportation potion. There are nine ingredients.

One of the ingredients can be found by climbing to the very top of the jungle, but you'll need to find a jump upgrade somewhere in order to do this climb. There will also be a boss fight up there.

I don't have ideas on what should be to the left and to the right of the crash site. There should be more areas where you find more ingredients and a jump upgrade, along with two more boss fights.

I'm in need of area ideas for Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. Any ideas?

forest where giant spiders drop down from trees trying to grab you

giant pond with giant lily pads you hop on and giant fishes try to eat you from below

a canyon and there are unstable boulders all over above you and they fall

savana with animals and vultures from above too

crossing a raging river by stepping on rocks

mountain with mountain goats, lions, rams in the mini valleys
