Locations hub
Choose the route page before another long search turns into wandering.
This shelf works best when the blocker still is navigation, not when progression or gear has already taken over.
Use the locations hub to name the kind of search first: biome unlock, scene hunt, route gate, return path, or map-wide confusion. Then move into the page that solves that exact shape.
Map and route desks
Choose the search problem you actually have, not the first landmark name that came to mind.
Map confusion
Start with the map guide when the route still is broader than one exact page.
Best when the blocker still sounds like a landmark, sweep pattern, biome edge, or route-memory problem.
Outer-biome unlock
Open the biome unlock page when the target is a region, not a scene inside it yet.
Use this for Desert of Beginnings, Azeos Wilderness, Sunken Sea, and Passage timing questions.
Scene target
Use a dungeon or temple page when the biome is known but the exact scene still is not.
This is strongest for Maze Dungeon and Titan Temple routes where search pattern matters more than brute force.
One blocker
Open the blocker page when the route keeps ending at a wall, gate, or tool check.
This is where green crystal, passage readiness, or route gates should stop being vague map frustration.
Travel support
Use portal routes when the problem is no longer finding a place, but keeping the route useful.
Portals become the right page when a route is known and the next question is comfort, return speed, or repeat use.
Too early or too hard
Leave the locations shelf when the real blocker is progression or items, not map logic.
The location page has done enough once the search problem turns into route pressure, tools, or stage fit.
Search checks
Location pages help most when they narrow the search shape before you spend another long session digging or sweeping.
Most-used map guides
These are the location pages most likely to settle a real search before the route gets too broad.

Core Keeper Map Guide
Most players say "the map is confusing" when the real problem is narrower than that. Usually it is one of three things: they do not know what they are looking for, they are searching with the wrong pattern, or they are trying to brute force a...

How to Find Maze Dungeon in Core Keeper
Maze Dungeon searches get dramatically easier once you stop treating the desert like one big mystery and start treating it like a set of distance bands. Most wasted time here comes from searching the right biome with the wrong pattern.
Passage entry board

How to Unlock Passage in Core Keeper
The Passage feels confusing because it does not arrive with one clean unlock animation or one obvious turn in. Players often expect a special item, a boss gate, or a Core event, then assume they missed something when none of that happens.
Map tools and references
Use these when the search type is clear but the final route decision still needs a smaller answer.
Leave the locations shelf when
As soon as the route problem turns into a different kind of blocker, move to the shelf that solves that directly.
