After the tutorial teaches you the essential tips and tricks for playing Avowed, you will be set free in the Living Lands. Almost right away you will encounter a man named Sanza who has an important side quest for you to locate a missing cartographer. While you might be eager to complete the main story, side quests are important for unlocking new abilities and exploring the world. Unlike most side quests, however, this one only gives you a vague written description of where the cartographer is instead of a marker on your map to travel to. Even though each zone in Avowed isn’t massive, there is still a lot of ground to cover when looking for a single person. Here’s where you can find the cartographer in Dawntrail.
Where to find the missing cartographer
The side quest only says that the cartographer should be located near some cliffs on the east side of Dawntrail, which is quite a big place to search. The area you’re looking for is called Usher’s Hand and is directly east of Paradis. If you go out the eastern exit and head north, you will find it no problem.
Once you get in the area, you will get a search area on your map to look through, but the exact location of the cartographer is indicated on our map above. Be aware that you’re actually looking for a corpse because the cartographer didn’t make it, so listen for the little loot jingle that plays whenever you’re near some treasure to help you find it. Once you find their body, grab their loot and the map beside them. Take this to Sanza who has returned to his emporium inside of Paradis to tell him the bad news and get your reward.
