The honest reason, which has changed since launch week
The original argument for not building one was that everybody’s map is a copy of everybody else’s — extract the engine’s marker data once and the coordinates propagate. That argument has stopped being true, and it is worth saying so rather than quietly keeping a conclusion whose reasoning expired. Several maps now exist that were built by playing the game and writing down what was where. That is real work and it produces a real artefact. Ours would not be that. It would be a re-typing of their route notes with our name on it, which is precisely the thing this site refuses to do everywhere else — see /disagreements/, where sources that repeat each other are counted as one.
What this site has instead, and what each one is actually for
Three things do part of the job a map does, and none of them pretends to do all of it. They are listed with their limits attached, because a tracker described as a map is worse than no tracker.
- /collectibles/ — counts sets and tells you how many of each you are missing. It does not know where they are, and it says so.
- /chapters/ — fourteen region records, in the order two sources agree on, each with a deep link to the minute of a completionist run that reaches it. Watching the region is closer to a map than a list of coordinates we cannot verify.
- /keys/ — the one place this site does publish locations, and it publishes them as two disagreeing guides rather than as a pin, because that is what the evidence supports.
Where to actually go, named rather than implied
Map Genie holds the top of this query and has an interactive map for the game. Pointing at it costs this page a click and is the correct thing to do: a reader who needs a pin on a screen is not served by a paragraph about our editorial standards, and pretending the alternative does not exist would be the same dishonesty in a different direction. What this site can offer that a map cannot is the part where sources disagree — a pin asserts one location, and on the Blue Key there are two.
What would change this
Somebody here clearing the game and recording locations first-hand. That is the only route to a map on this site, and it is not close. Until then, the collectible tracker gets the work that a half-invented map would have absorbed, and this page exists so that a reader searching for a map finds a straight answer instead of a page that quietly does not have one.
