Walkthrough

	Objective	Map	Location	Notes
1	Location 1			In the southwest corner of the map, in a nook in the cliff. Swim southwest from the Breachmaker and climb onto the rocky shore where fires are burning.
2	Location 2			Southeast of the White Crane Terrace Emergency Waypoint, directly below the portal device next to Deputy Turma at water level.
3	Location 3			Start from the waypoint at White Crane Terrace. Follow the ramp and path counter-clockwise around the rocky outcrop to the east of the waypoint - there is a boardwalk which leads to a waterfall. Before the walkway reaches the waterfall, use the black basalt ledges to reach a cave behind the waterfall.
4	Location 4			At the end of a narrow tunnel hidden by a plant at the bottom of the cliffside by the Pact Emergency Waypoint in White Crane Terrace.
5	Location 5			In a cave, at the west border of the map. The same cave as visited during Someone in Need achievement.
6	Location 6			In a cave, at the west border of the map. The same cave as visited during Someone in Need achievement.
7	Location 7			In another hidden cave just north of the one where 5 & 6 are found.
8	Location 8			In a cave at water level south of the lighthouse.
9	Location 9			At the top of the lighthouse.
10	Location 10			In a cave at the base of the last tier of the waterfall.
11	Location 11			On a high ledge at the far west end of Hooligan's Route. Climb up the central stairs, jump from the top to some platforms around a stalactite, and from those to the ledge with the rubble. This one is surprisingly annoying due to the high respawn rate of Elite and Veteran enemies there.
12	Location 12			Enter the Hooligan's Route area in northwest Western Ward. Instead of walking up the steps to the top, take the path with the water to the right of the steps. Follow the wall until you see a small area you can swim into; there is a cave beyond.
13	Location 13			Starting from the waypoint at the west edge of Western Ward, climb up the house as if you were exploring the vista in the open world, but then continue south. The rubble is in a cave tucked in on the left near the open fire.
14	Location 14			Starting from the waypoint at the west edge of Western Ward, climb up the house as if you were exploring the vista in the open world, but then continue east. Jump over to the ledge on the other side to reach the rubble.
15	Location 15			Found in a sewer tunnel under Canal Ward (approach from the northwest).
16	Location 16			By the Canal Ward waypoint, below the stone ledge parallel to the bridge.
17	Location 17			High above Canal Ward due north of the southern waypoint, reached via a path on the north side.
18	Location 18			Below the Grand Piazza waypoint.
19	Location 19			From the south Canal Ward waypoint, head east keeping the wall on your left. Enter the broken sewer grating, follow the tunnel around the corner, then head east into the Lost Grotto.
20	Location 20			Below the dock at Lion's Gate.
21	Location 21			Southeast of the Grand Piazza
22	Location 22			South of the "W" in Eastern Ward, against a barricade.
23	Location 23			At the back of a crevice located west of the Pact Emergency Waypoint in Postern Ward.
24	Location 24			At the top of a slope in the northeast corner of Postern Ward.
25	Location 25			Behind the waterfall northeast of the Pact Emergency Waypoint in Priory Foothold.
26	Location 26			Tunnel entrance is at the back of the cavern above the heirloom at Location 25.
27	Location 27			North of the waypoint at Priory Foothold, behind the big building.
28	Location 28			Northwest of Farshore Ward waypoint, at sea level below the Inner Harbor island.
29	Location 29			In a small cave east of Farshore Ward's waypoint.
30	Location 30			Swim through a cave at the base of the waterfall in Bloodcoast Ward (below where Weyandt's Revenge would end).
31	Location 31			Beside the waypoint at White Crane Terrace.
32	Location 32			Along the southern shore of Western Ward.
33	Location 33			On the border between Fort Marriner and Lion's Gate, at the base of the fort's wall.
34	Location 34			At sea level in the water north of Grand Piazza.
35	Location 35			Due north of the last letter of "Fort Marriner" on the world map, by the shore.
36	Location 36			At the western edge of Canal Ward, against the west side of the Black Lion Trading Company Boat.
37	Location 37			In Farshore Ward, south of the waypoint against the west wall of the windmill.
38	Location 38			At the pile of rubble at the start of the instance.
39	Location 39			Beside the Priory Foothold waypoint.
40	Location 40			Beside the Bloodcoast Ward waypoint.
