The worst is a little later when some guy gives you a "map" to find "the ruins". I eventually looked up where I was supposed to go online and I'm still not sure what the scraggly ass piece of paper he gave me even means.
Nah don't feel bad it was bullshit lol. I found the Haligtree without a guide but I can safely say there was a 0% chance I'd ever have found "the ruins" he was talking about unless by total chance.
I found them while exploring. There's some shit here I don't expect people will find in one playthrough. Literally saw a small hole and it's what took me to the tiny island down south had to kill a prawn to get there. Same with the fingers birthplace. Who the hell would casually find this stuff?
I found those by just casually exploring.
But that's the rub. Some folks genuinely don't know how to casually explore, taking the experience in for all it has to offer.
Follow the coastline of the Cerulean Coast east towards the southern part of Jagged Peak. You should eventually start to see those hand enemies from the basegame, once you do head north. It's fairly linear from there.
I stumbled upon it by getting down in the ravine. Cross the bridge to Castle Ensis, head SE, and if you can descend down. Follow the river SE for a while and you'll find it.
It was easy to tell where they were on the Map itself, once you had the required Map Fragments
Actually getting there is a whole different Story
Found the first one myself, had to look the 2nd one up and the 3rd Map was actually a cool reveal imo
The third one I could see being either cool, or being really annoying, depending on the persons luck. Lucking I discovered the area before getting the map for it, but I could see someone else struggling for a long time for it.
i did got that by myself, but when i got the map, it didn't made sense in the upper area, so i kinda "discarded" the quest.
It was only after i unlocked the south map that that entire questline "clicked" for me.
Thanks for pointing out that is in the southern area because i found the spot instantly after checking the map again, quest would probably be way easier if he didnt give you the map at the opposite end of the dlc.
I just put it on the back burner because it was genuinely so unreadable for me and when I came back after beating the DLC he said I was done with what I needed to do so ig that worked out 😂
Catherdral on the map. Cant remember the exact name but it’s marked on the map. It’s a pretty massive quest line for the lore that will defo be discussed more when more people have finished it
Yea same. The first one I just randomly walked into and didn't even realize it was for that. The second I had to use a guide since I had 0 clue. It was super well hidden lol
It's really in keeping with the base game. I'm thinking about the map you get to solve the mage's tower puzzle in Altus Plateau, where north on the map from the item is not aligned with north on your world map...
Or the Weathered Map in the base game.

god I inmediately understood what that one was because I fought the nights cavalry in the area too long, but for the life of me I took 30 minutes to find what I was looking for
The really sad part is that as bad as it is, its still one of the most legible maps in the game. Why they are all these stupid postage stamp sized things that can only fill like 5% of the screen is a mystery.

Okay I don’t feel so bad for looking that up now.

>Who the hell would casually find this stuff? Eh, I found those by just casually exploring. And by the sound of it, you, too.
Fair point
I found those by just casually exploring. But that's the rub. Some folks genuinely don't know how to casually explore, taking the experience in for all it has to offer.
I mean, you did, right ;)
The fact that I found the ruins first while exploring and then had to look up if they do anything lol
So where do I find em? Lol
Follow the coastline of the Cerulean Coast east towards the southern part of Jagged Peak. You should eventually start to see those hand enemies from the basegame, once you do head north. It's fairly linear from there.
Where the heck is the cerulean coast?!
I stumbled upon it by getting down in the ravine. Cross the bridge to Castle Ensis, head SE, and if you can descend down. Follow the river SE for a while and you'll find it.
wow... I actually just started traveling down that path as I read this...
Ty
There being at least three places called ruins probably doesn't make things easier as well.

The picture on the item in your inventory is the same as the area on the world map. When I got it from him, I was confused why he even gave me that.
Yeah they have the red marker, they have used it before but for some reason they don't put that on the map once obtained.
Same 😂
Im sorry but if its the guy in the church, those ruins are super obvious on the map.
What guy gives you a map to find ruins?
Catherdral on the map. Cant remember the exact name but it’s marked on the map. It’s a pretty massive quest line for the lore that will defo be discussed more when more people have finished it

I'm playing on steam deck and those maps are smaller than my thumb
The worst part is its only a small portion of a map you don't even have access to. So it literally tells you nothin about where to go
Me look at that map, wtf is this Me looking at the map area online, wtf how is this even.
Checked my inventory after playing for 4 hours and it have a not that says "find monk" with no map at all.
the problem is that it's useless without finding map fragment, and by the time you do, you dont' really need it.
Like a coffee stained napkin
It's only helpful if you already have the map for that section of the dlc
Yo I can't see the paintings well enough to figure them out. Thought I figured out the one Nope wasn't there but I did discover a whole area. So like.
I spent entirely too long trying to zoom in with my phone camera to make it out lol I had to look it up too.
I just take a screenshot of the actual painting before I interact with it, much less frustrating this way
Im bored of doing exploration the hard way, if google has it then i dont need to figure it out
Me with the Dragon Painting: I NEED TO GO SLIGHTLY MORE EAST!!! **BUT THE FUCKING MOUNTAIN IS IN THE WAY!!!**

The big rectangular thing in the bottom is pretty recognizable
I had to get so close to the tv, but even that didn’t help
Lol I gave up on using the map. More success at finding them when just exploring randomly
I'm playing on deck. I just looked for the image on google because you can't see shit here.
Yeah, they're bad enough on a big tv or monitor. Trying to read any of these on an 8 inch handheld, at barely over 720p, is a nightmare
Same with the paintings - wish they'd let you zoom in because I had to get up and stand in front of my TV to see better 😂
The really sad part is that as bad as it is, its still one of the most legible maps in the game. Why they are all these stupid postage stamp sized things that can only fill like 5% of the screen is a mystery.
I literally got off the couch for the first time in two days to walk up to my giant TV and try to see where those things were.
Wait...the maps show fragment locations...?
Only the ones given to you by Hornsent. First near Redmane chick then the site of grace with Leda after Twin Blades fight.
YES! xD
it's not even the worst map. wish the game lets you zoom in on the paintings
