Xenia fake treasure map location.

[Deminox]

I want to complete all rumored locations, regarless whether there are fake or not, but there is this one that I just can't figure, is just a small island with the X at the right of it's centre, and an even smaller, tiny isle at it's southwest, very close. No continent or other land aside, so you would think it would be easy to find, but is driving me crazy. Now, I havent explore the whole map yet, so maybe that the "rough" version of the uncharted parts of the map doesn't translate correctly to the piece of land I'm searching for, since is quite small. In any case, I find it annoying. Doess anyone have any idea of what that place may be? The map is from the second or third set given by Xenia.

The maps are a fun type of puzzle in theory, but the execution failed. They end up requiring far too much work to figure out. I went straight to youtube and watched a video that lead me instantly to each location. Just get it over with and move on, don't look back.

Problem is, this being a "fake" location, there are not YouTube videos talking about it, orr not that I could find. Actually, it seems that there is barely any conversation about the fake location anywhere on the internet.

I haven't had any problem with any other location though, I usually just take a picture of the given map, find it on the world map and that's it.

Maybe if you show a screenshot of the map, there'd be more help

Don't know how to, though /:

Yeah, these maps are using the menu interface as a game, where the treasure map itself is buried layers inside the inventory menu, and you have switch out to the world map to look for the visual match. Because the treasure map is drawn by a 4 year old, you have to constantly go back and forth between the two menu interfaces. Not having any sense of scale is the biggest issue you have to deal with.

I resorted to taking a system screenshot and go back and forth between the game and the separate screenshot. Hell, you could even go out of your way and print a physical copy of the treasure map so you can directly compare the two.

These types of things are not meant to be easy, but damn they can be annoying. Which is why most of the treasures are located close to places where other missions will send you so that you're more likely to find some of them unintentionally vs. doing them in isolation.

semi thread hijacking here... really just a sidebar comment.

Personally, I feel like I've been broken on the wheel of developer abuse. I no longer enjoy challenges such as mazes or puzzling maps, and can barely stand it when I'm expected to remember a clue.

I realize this may seem like sarcasm, but it's not. I want gorgeous escapist visuals like ACO, with casual game play that doesn't constantly require me running to youtube for answers.

I just took a photo with my phone xD But yeah, is poorly thought out.

if you are wondering where are the locations of the 6 fake maps:

in the 3 first missions you recieve 2 extra fake maps:

in the first mission, one of the maps points to a place in lakonia, a underwater treasure in the dioskouroi peninsula, 'pavlopetri'. the other points to "Aigisthos palace", in Argolis, between the promontory of skylla and the foundry of hephaistos, in the middle of the sea.

in the second mission, one of the maps point to the island of Triton between Samos and Chios. This is that island with the huge Posseidon Statue. The other map, the hardest of the 6 to figure out, is in Paros, in the temple of Athena in Paros Harbor.

in the third mission, one of the maps, the most chaotic one, points to korinthia, south of Acrokorinth , in Kephisos Sanctuary (near the giant medusa head). The other points to Kerkopes bandit Camp in Malis. if you are going there, make sure you get the ostrako in Lamia, because the solution is very close to this camp.

2 things to note: if you already visited one of the fake locations and looted the chest, as soon as you recieve the map it desapears from your inventory and you recieve experience for completing a quest. All fake maps reward you with an epic item, the same amount of dracma you loot from a national chest and a decent amount of experience, so they are not entirely pointless after all.

THANK YOU FOR THIS. I found Pavlopetri and the Salamis lighthouse/tomb from youtube videos but could not for my life find anything about where the last damn map is actually pointing to. You just saved my sanity.

I literally didn't even see them, lol.

I did every location and ? I found in the game long before I got to that point (I did it pretty much as soon as I got a ship) and by the time I got to those quests (and a lot others), I had already been there, so as soon as I got the quest, it immediately gave me the voice lines for discovering the fake ones and I only had the real one left.

To OP: So, from what happened with me, it means that all the fake maps lead to a ? location, you can use that to help find it.
