Prototype - the reward for obtaining all 16 Map Pieces
Map pieces are unique collectibles in Elex. Obtaining all the pieces results in completing a treasure map that will lead you to a safe containing unique loot.
You can return to the Bastion with all the map pieces you collect. Check out the interactive board in Jax's chamber. You can attach map pieces from your inventory to it.
After placing all the 16 map pieces, Jax will automatically read the entry and conclude that it leads to Infinite Skies Inc. This initiates a new side quest, which will appear in your journal. The quest, titled A Well-Guarded Secret, involves finding the location of the prototype.
Start following the new quest and it will lead you to the ruins in the Old Ironworks. Reach the upper floor of the indicated building and investigate the console from the screenshot above.
After interacting with the console, select the Infinite Skies Inc. entry. You can open the safe now.
The most important treasure in the safe is the unique Prototype. The safe also contains a note and a bag with elexit. You will also be awarded the Legendary trophy.
After collecting the prototype, it will be permanently active and you don't need to place it in your active slots (despite looking similar to the modifiers). It unlocks the Adventurer skill, which:
- marks all teleporters on the map - the undiscovered ones will have slightly different icons (pictured in the screenshot), which is extremely helpful in unlocking missing fast travel points
- increases your experience gain
Map Piece 01
Head to the location with two damaged bridges in the south-west corner of the world map. The fragment is on the bridge to the west and is partially covered by a small red crate.
Map Piece 02
You need to investigate the Central World Heart, specifically the ruins of the location with the large dome. The collectible is in one of the small rooms, between the barrels and the mattress.
Map Piece 03
This collectible can be found in one of the western buildings in the Fort. The main character isn't allowed to enter this building - you have to sneak your way in and steal the map piece from the table (or quickly run in to get it before one of the nearby NPCs appears).
Map Piece 04
This piece is in the ruins north-east of the Fort. Watch out for enemies, such as the mech patrolling this place, which you can skip. The collectible will be sticking out of one of the crates.
Map Piece 05
This map piece can be found in one of the rooms in the north-west of the Castle - the clerics' residence.
Map Piece 06
You need to investigate the tower located in the southern part of the Bastion, the base of the main characters. Use the spiral stairs to reach the top of the tower. The collectible will be easy to spot and nailed to the boards.
Map Piece 07
This is the most difficult map piece to get. It's on the roof of the skyscraper from the screenshot. These are the ruins above the Grotto.
Unfortunately, you will need to completely or almost completely upgrade the fuel supply of your jetpack to reach the roof. You can read about this topic in more detail on the Jetpack page in the Basics chapter. As a reminder, you have to find Fuel and use the jetpack workbenches (one of them can be found in the Bastion) to upgrade it. Try to reach at least level 44-45, ideally the maximum level 50.
You can't get to the roof right away. First, check out the small building from screenshot no. 1, which is adjacent to the main skyscraper.
Lift off with the jetpack from the roof of the lower building.
If you have enough fuel, you will reach the roof. Here you will find the sought-after map piece, along with one of the legendary weapons and some more loot.
Map Piece 08
The collectible you're looking for is at the top of a tall, ruined building that you first passed by after the prologue. It's a good idea to wait before acquiring it until you've upgraded your jetpack a bit. You have to continue reaching higher and higher balconies. The collectible is hidden at the top of the building.
Map Piece 09
The secret you're looking for can be found inside a small building at an asphalt road. The map piece is lying on the desk.
Map Piece 10
This map piece can be found next to a small clearing adjacent to a cliff. Look for the red tablecloth. In addition to the collectible, you will also find skeletons and some minor loot here.
Map Piece 11
This secret collectible is to the northeast of the Crater. Don't try to travel across the mountains, as Jax's body temperature will rapidly drop and he may even freeze to death due to the harsh climate in the area. Seek out the mine buildings a short distance south of the map piece marker on your map.
You have to locate the entrance to the mine from screenshot no. 1. Go through several corridors to reach its end and find the hidden collectible in a small camp with a lit lamp.
Map Piece 12
You need to examine the building on the road northwest of the Crater. There might be some Reavers in the area and you will need to get rid of them first. Look for the collectible on the roof of the building, in the location with the bonfire.
Map Piece 13
This map piece is hidden in one of the abandoned buildings a short distance to the south of the Depot Strong monsters can be found in this area and you have to either eliminate them or run away. The collectible can be found on the upper floor of the building.
Map Piece 14
In order to find this collectible, you have to investigate the abandoned factory west of the Depot. Take a look inside the hut in the North-Western corner of this location. The map piece is lying on the table.
Map Piece 15
The collectible is in the Old Chemical Plant, north-west of the Depot. There are many strong monsters in this location and it's best to run away from them or have your companion distract them.
You have to reach the building from screenshot no. 1, which is located in the western section of the factory. The collectible is lying on the table inside this building.
Map Piece 16
You have to reach Maracor East located in the north-eastern corner of the world map. This is Skyand territory, although you can run away from all the high-level enemies you encounter.
Reach the dilapidated courtyard from screenshot no. 1 and investigate the circular, roofed area to find the map piece.
