Redguard Hints
The map is wrong! Am I missing something?
1 of 12: Even if you know where it is, the game will not let you actually find the Flask until you have all four pieces of the torn map plus another map showing the starting point.
2 of 12: There is more to it than just following the number of paces in the directions of the map.
3 of 12: Work with the numbers. A bit of adding and subtracting needs to be done.
4 of 12: There are only two directions to travel.
5 of 12: Add up the numbers going forward (up and down) from the map pieces.
6 of 12: 12+31+20 = 63. This is your forward number of paces from the start.
7 of 12: The other directional lines (left and right) cancel each other out ... almost.
8 of 12: Subtract the 4 and 5 from the number 25. That equals 16. This is the number of paces you should travel in the other direction.
9 of 12: The direction can be found by referring to the map you received from the cartographer.
10 of 12: Stand in the center of the gazebo facing west. Carefully walk straight forward 63 paces and stop.
11 of 12: Now turn south (left) and walk 16 paces. At about 12, you will come to the edge of a sand bank. Turn around and fall down the bank.
12 of 12: Get into the absolute corner at the bottom of the sand dune and face the sea. Walk forward 2 paces. Dig! (Stand a little away from the hill on your right.)
