Fragment route
Clear fragments with movement checks
Fragments are easiest when grouped with viewpoints, rooftops, ruins, shipwreck paths, and nearby chests.
- Search the region first so nearby icons are visible together.
- Use viewpoints and rooftops before chasing small city icons.
- Pair shipwreck fragments with chest and diving checks.
- Confirm the counter before leaving the island or city.
Fragment sweep
Solve the access surface before chasing a small marker
A fragment can look close on the map while its route is above Edward, below a ruin path, or across water. Start from a viewpoint or known entrance, identify whether the pickup is rooftop, ground, ruin, or wreck, and combine only the nearby checks that use the same access route.
| Marker looks close but... | Route test | Proof before leaving |
|---|---|---|
| It sits above a city street | Climb from the nearest stable rooftop or viewpoint; check for a zipline exit | Fragment counter changes without losing the district route |
| It is inside a ruin or cave | Find the entrance and progression condition rather than chasing the map projection | The interaction or counter confirms the pickup |
| It is over a wreck or water | Choose a surface pass or diving equipment before leaving the Jackdaw | The underwater reward and return-to-ship route are both complete |
| The icon looks finished but the counter differs | Reopen the region after confirming the current update and save | The family counter, not just the icon colour, agrees |
