All Map Locations (Early Game)

Spoiler‑light mapping guide. Covers how maps work, where to meet/recall Shakra, early area order, per‑area locations, and what to buy first.

Summary

Mapping: Buy maps and tools from Shakra; no auto‑map until you own them.
First meet: The Marrow (listen for humming); buy Moss Grotto + Marrow maps, Compass, and Quill.
Missed Shakra: Use the recall bell in Bone Bottom to summon her and buy skipped maps.
Early area order: Moss Grotto → The Marrow → Deep Docks → Far Fields → Greymoor → Bellhart.

Buy maps per area from Shakra. Without a map, the screen stays “blank parchment.”
Compass: Shows Hornet’s position on the map (equip at a bench).
Quill: Fills in explored rooms after you rest.
Markers/Pins: Optional quality‑of‑life; prioritize once Rosaries are comfortable. See the Rosaries guide for farming routes.

Route: From early Marrow, go right past the paid bench, climb near lava‑adjacent rooms, then loop left across cage platforms.
Audio cue: Shakra hums when you’re close.
Buy here: Moss Grotto Map, The Marrow Map, Compass, Quill, and basic pins/markers.

Go to Bone Bottom’s right platforms and strike the hanging ring/bell (twice) to summon Shakra.
She sells maps you skipped so progress isn’t blocked by a missed encounter.

Moss Grotto: Not sold inside the biome—buy at Shakra’s first shop in The Marrow.
The Marrow (first shop): Same room as above; grab both Marrow and Moss Grotto maps plus Compass/Quill.
Deep Docks: From Marrow → Docks, continue right. In a tall elevator room near a bench/Bellway sign, drop to Shakra’s alcove and buy the Deep Docks map.
Far Fields: In the tall updraft tower, enter a small right‑side nook where Shakra sets up; buy the Far Fields map.
Greymoor: After riding updrafts into Greymoor from below, travel right a couple of screens; Shakra is along that path with the Greymoor map.
Bellhart: Later, Shakra can camp in an upper‑right alcove near the Pinmaster—useful for follow‑up pins and any missed maps.

Maps: Moss Grotto (≈40), The Marrow (≈50), Deep Docks (≈50), Far Fields (≈50)
Tools: Compass (≈70), Quill (≈50)
Pins/Markers: Bench Pins (≈60), Shell Marker (≈40), Bellway Pins (≈60), Vendor Pins (≈80), Ring Marker (≈40) Note: Availability and costs can shift slightly with progression/patches; use these as ballpark figures.

Buy Compass with your first maps; Quill next. Pins/markers can wait.
Short on Rosaries? Farm a loop next to Shakra’s shop, then rest to respawn enemies. See Fast Rosaries.
Listen for humming to triangulate her location in each area.
Don’t panic if she moves—Bone Bottom recall covers missed maps.

Where is Shakra first? In The Marrow; climb then loop left from the lava‑adjacent route and follow the humming.
How do I get missed maps? Use the Bone Bottom bell to summon Shakra; she’ll sell prior maps.
Should I buy Compass or Quill first? Compass first (position), then Quill (fills explored rooms after resting).
Do maps fill in automatically? Not without the Quill; rest to update the parchment with explored rooms.
