Map For Mountains Of The Giants

Map for Mountains of the Giants: Your Complete Guide

Exploring the towering peaks of the Mountains of the Giants can be a thrilling adventure, but without the right map you’ll quickly find yourself lost in the snow‑covered ridges and hidden valleys. This guide explains why a dedicated map is essential, how to obtain it, and the best routes to reach every key location in the snowy area.

Why a Dedicated Map Matters

Unlike the main world map in the game, the Mountains of the Giants map focuses on:

• Detailed topography of the high‑altitude terrain
• Locations of medallion pieces and hidden chests
• Access points to the western snowy area and the Divine Tower of East Altus
• Shortcut routes that save time and resources

Having this map in hand reduces the risk of wandering into hostile zones, missing crucial collectibles, or getting stuck on a difficult climb.

Obtaining the Map

There are two primary ways to acquire the map:

1. In‑Game Discovery: Progress through the main questline until you reach the Forbidden Lands section. A hidden chest in the western part of the snowy area contains the map, along with a set of medallion pieces needed to unlock further paths.
2. Video Guides: Many players prefer visual walkthroughs. A popular tutorial video demonstrates how to collect all the 3/3 medallion pieces and showcases the exact spot where the map appears. The video also provides a quick route to the Mountaintops, which is especially helpful for newcomers.

Regardless of the method, the map can be found in a location that requires you to cross a narrow bridge over a chasm or solve a simple puzzle involving a rotating stone platform.

Step‑by‑Step Guide to the Snowy Area

1. Start at the Western Entrance

From the main world map, head toward the western gate of the snowy region. Use the Mountaintops of the Snow shortcut highlighted in the video chapters (0:31 to 0:55). The gate is guarded by a group of hostile giants, so prepare for a brief combat encounter.

2. Retrieve the Medallion Pieces

Inside the western area, three medallion pieces are scattered across the terrain:

• First piece: near the frozen waterfall (0:45–1:05)
• Second piece: atop the ice‑covered cliff at the base of the Divine Tower (1:20–1:45)
• Third piece: inside a hidden alcove behind the snow‑drifted boulder (2:00–2:30)

Collect all three to unlock the entrance to the Divine Tower of East Altus.

3. Unlock the Divine Tower

With the medallion pieces, approach the tower’s gate. A simple switch mechanism will open the path. Inside
