Be sure to take notes of all the relevant names and IDs as you go. Make lots of backups.

Be careful not to use any duplicate flags or Entity IDs; regions with duplicate EntityIDs in particular have a chance to permanently corrupt loaded mapbnds, so exercise caution.

Be careful when making Flag IDs; if the fifth digit is 1-9, it will cause the flag to reset on grace/area reload (Eg: XXXX0XXX).

Refer to other Entity or Flag IDs to see how FromSoft formatted them; sometimes it might matter, or not.

If you're curious about most entities having MapID: -1, UnkE0C: 255, and UnkS0C: -1, don't ask me. I have no idea, but changing it can break things. So just keep them that way.

1. Create a new Stake of Marika asset; these are AEG099_500-504, in various states of repair. Give it a new, unused EntityID.

2. Create a new Player part, and place it where you'd like the player to respawn. Give it another new EntityID; this one should be exactly the stake's EntityID, minus 970. (ie: Stake = 30051900, Player Object = 30050930)

3. Create a new Other region, and shape it to fit the area that you'd like the player to be able to respawn from.

4. For the final piece, create a new RetryPoint event. Set RetryPartName to match the stake's name, and set RetryRegionName to match the region's name. Give it the following values:

• EventID: 1-to-3 digit number
• MapID: -1
• UnkS0C: -1
• UnkE0C: 255
• EventFlagID: 6001
• UnkT08: -1

5. That's it. Pretty painless, overall.
