Maps

Navigating Rockfort Island and the Antarctic Base can be a daunting task, especially with the constant threat of B.O.W.s lurking around every corner. This section will guide you to the locations of all crucial maps, ensuring you're never lost and can plan your routes effectively.

Rockfort Island Maps

The initial area of the game, Rockfort Island, is a sprawling complex with multiple buildings, a prison, and various outdoor sections. Obtaining these maps early is paramount for efficient exploration and item retrieval.

Prison Map

• Location: As Claire, after the initial cutscene and gaining control, proceed through the prison yard. Enter the small building directly ahead. The Prison Map is prominently displayed on a wall inside this building.
• Strategy: This map is essential for understanding the layout of the prison blocks, the guardhouse, and the various cells. It will help you locate the Lockpick and the Emblem Card more easily.

Military Training Facility Map

• Location: Once you gain access to the Military Training Facility, head to the first floor. The map is located in the Security Room, often found near the main entrance or a central hub on that floor.
• Strategy: This map is crucial for navigating the complex corridors, identifying key rooms like the Operating Room, the Computer Room, and the various storage areas. It will be invaluable when searching for the Eagle Plate and the Biohazard Card.

Palace Map

• Location: After reaching the opulent Palace area, search the main hall or a nearby study on the ground floor. The Palace Map is typically found pinned to a wall or on a desk.
• Strategy: The Palace is a multi-level structure with intricate pathways. This map will help you locate the Bandersnatch Room, the Art Gallery, and the various rooms containing puzzle items like the Music Box and the Crown.

Antarctic Base Maps

The second major area, the Antarctic Base, presents a colder, more industrial environment. Its maps are just as vital for surviving the harsh conditions and the new threats within.

Antarctic Base Map (Main Building)

• Location: Upon arriving at the Antarctic Base, enter the main research facility. The map for the primary building is usually found in the first accessible office or control room on the ground floor.
• Strategy: This map covers the central laboratories, living quarters, and the access points to other sections of the base. It's critical for locating the Linear Launcher and understanding the pathways to the underground facilities.

Antarctic Base Map (Underground/Drill Area)

• Location: As you delve deeper into the Antarctic Base, specifically into the drilling or mining sections, look for a small control room or a break area. The map for this lower level will be posted there.
• Strategy: This map is essential for navigating the labyrinthine underground passages, the drill control rooms, and the areas where you'll encounter the more formidable B.O.W.s. It will guide you to the Crane Key and other vital equipment needed to progress.

General Map Usage Tips

• Frequent Checks: Always check your map when entering a new area or if you feel disoriented. It highlights unexplored sections and locked doors, helping you plan your next move.
• Item Placement: While maps don't show specific item locations, they provide a layout that helps you remember where you've seen items or where you might need to return with a key.
• Enemy Awareness: Although enemies aren't marked, understanding the room layouts from the map can help you anticipate encounters and plan escape routes or strategic combat positions.
• Save Room Identification: Maps clearly mark save rooms (typewriters), allowing you to quickly locate a safe haven to store items and save your progress.

Unlike the streamlined, auto-updating navigation in Resident Evil 3 (Remake), these classic maps require manual collection to reveal the sprawling layouts of Rockfort Island and Antarctica.

While Code: Veronica X relies on finding physical maps to navigate its sprawling locales, Resident Evil: Revelations 2 modernizes this mechanic with a dynamic, auto-updating minimap system.
