Map and Quill

The Map and Quill are Items the Player must find in order to be able to chart the various rooms, passages, and chambers within the game world.

To start mapping an area, an incomplete area map must first be purchased from Einstein's Apprentice, who can be found somewhere in that area. If Einstein's Apprentice is missed in an area (usually by defeating the area boss or by exploring enough of that area without talking to them), then Einstein will sell the map of that area for a slightly higher price in Town.

To complete the map, the Quill needs to be purchased from Einstein. After uncharted areas have been explored, the player needs to rest at a Bench to update the map. Explored areas of the map appear as coloured segments with solid lines. Most of the time, entering a room fills the entire room on the map; however, some rooms, especially large and dark rooms, will only become partially revealed.

The full map of the entire game world can be viewed by pressing the INVENTORY key and switching to the Map tab. From here the player can then click on an area on the map to view the area map of that specific area. This can also be accessed directly by double-tapping the MAP key instead of navigating through the menu. Tapping the MAP key once will open the map of the area the Player is currently in. Holding down the MAP key opens a semi-transparent overlaid map of the current area, allowing the player to walk around in the background while reading the map.
