Mapping the Living Lands is a series of quests inAvowed, withSanza the cartographersending you to the far reaches of each land. After speaking with him in his Emporium in Dawnshore’s city of Paradis, you will getMapping the Living Lands - Dawnshore.
Each time you go to a new region, a new quest will unlock automatically, with Emerald Star, Shatterscarp, and Galawain’s Tusks the suffix each time. The quuest marker will offer up a vague part of the map, but finding the exact location of each unlucky cartographer is tricky - that’s where this handy dandy guide comes in.
Where To Find The Cartographer For Mapping The Living Lands - Dawnshore
In Dawnshore, you’re directed to Usher’s Hand in the nothern reach of the Southern Embrace. The cartographer, who has had his skull crushed by a rock - he probably won’t recover - can be found near a campsite atabout 2 o’clock if you think of the map guide as a clock. It’s on the very edge of the circle.
If you have theGod’s Gate Beacon, it’s in a small cluster of what could once have been called a ruin aboutfive steps to the left of the fast travel beacon.
Where To Find The Cartographer For Mapping The Living Lands - Emerald Stair
Head to the back of theNaku Tedek Groundsand jump off thewooden platform in the corner. From here, you canjump to a thick tree twisting around a cliff. Jump to it,make your way along, and at the end, drop down andturn around.
You’ll find the cartographer dead against the rock here, and her map lyingon the edge of the cliff next to her. You can also drop around the front of the Naku Tedek Grounds from the nearby party camp, but it’s easier to miss her this way as it doesn’t look like thepath continues after the graves.
Where To Find The Cartographer For Mapping The Living Lands - Shatterscarp
At thefar south eastof Shatterscarp, there is a rock column out in sea. Climb therocky ledgenear it, thenjump out across the gap. Lying against thewall of the furthest, tallest rockis the cartographer and their camp. Next to them, you’ll find theirmap.
you’re able to also check their nearby backpack for anEssencePotion,Spirit Residueand twoStelgaer Leather. What? It’s not like they’re going to be using it.
Where To Find The Cartographer For Mapping The Living Lands - Galawain’s Tusks
This last one is, in some ways,the trickiest one yet. However, in other ways,it’s also the easiest. That’s because rather than the huge basin the game directs you to,the cartographer is not at the location he is supposed to be. Instead, he has been arrested.
Head toSouth Warden Tower,north of the Writhing Ruins and west of The Sallow Steppe (as you can see in the pic above), and speak to the Warden there. It isrelatively easy to convince the Warden to free the cartographer, but if you do end up in combat,the key can be found on the top floor. Once he is freed from jail one way or another, the quest will complete.
We completed this questafter Our Dreams Divide Us Still(and wesaved the Keep), whichmay explain why the Wardens were less bothered about freeing him.
After each of these quests, you shouldhead back to Sanza in the Northern Paradis Emporiumin order to mark them as complete. Sanza will always be shocked to hear of each cartographer’s demise, although you’d think by the third time he’d just be used to it.
