The majority of the 'Lost Grounds' are made up of or take roots from German words: Dead World of Indieglut Lugh ('Dead World of into-the-embers Lugh'), Briona Gwydion the Dragonbein Range ('bein' also stands for 'bone'), Arche Koeln Waterfall (Combination of Arche, 'ark', and Köln, the German city of Cologne), Wailing Capital Wald Uberlisterin ('Tricker of the Forest'), and finally Hülle Granz Cathedral ('Shell Gloss Cathedral')-which also features one of the two only songs in-game with an actual language, in full German the other one being the variations of Aura's Theme.

Sometimes overlaps with Bilingual Bonus, particularly if the author actually knows German. Because after all, Everything sounds Badass in German. German inserted into a work, whether it is necessary or not. Bob Woodward, Why Not Me?, "The Void: The First One Hundred Days of the Franken Presidency"
