Advanced Map Use
Assassin’s Creed Rogue has such a strong map system that it’s worth taking a little more time to explain it. The main map and your minimap show everything important that Shay can find or collect, but they have a maximum range for revealing nonstory items. Get Shay closer to targets to reveal them on the minimap, and zoom in on the main map to show everything that you’re looking for.
For example, go to your main map and zoom out. Notice that nonessential items disappear at a specific point as you zoom out. When hunting for items, keep the map a bit closer in so this doesn’t happen
When navigating through the main map, you should see coordinates. These are often unimportant, but they come up when you’re hunting for Templar relics. A couple dozen maps are hidden throughout the world, and each of these has a picture and a set of coordinates. Use that and the map’s coordinate system to locate these buried pieces of treasure.
Another fun tool for collecting items is to use waypoints of your own. Go to the main map and highlight the area or item that you want to find. Click on that and create your own waypoint. This brings it up on Shay’s screen when he’s moving around so that it’s amazingly easy to find. Do this to quickly locate collectible items or fun locations. This makes it much easier to find the Templar relics. Go to the coordinates that the map indicates, create your own waypoint, and then guide Shay right there to get the prize.
Finally, look at the map legend and learn as many of the icons as you can. You don’t need to memorize every animal that’s out there, but many of these symbols are common throughout the game and let you figure out what you’re looking for without wasting any time.
