Legendary Tales 4 Chapter 1 Walkthrough – On the Road
Legendary Tales: Map of Hope · last updated 2026-10-15
Chapter overview and locations
Lucia needs a disguise before she dares re-enter the town where she and Ulf are wanted, so she gathers a cloak and the ingredients for a sleeping powder. In the Eye of the Gargoyle tavern Skarlett explains that a witch-hunter at one of the tables carries the map of magical-creature settlements. Lucia drugs the witch, picks her lock, steals the map and follows it across the river and into the forest toward the werewolf camp and the sacred tree.

- Fangs · 7 in this chapter (as stated by sources) — All seven give the Hunter achievement; found on the wagon, the beach, the fortress tree, the lion faucet, the city square flagpole, the tavern boar's head and the fortress basement.

Open the Legendary Tales 4 collectibles checklist to tick items off as you play.
Commonly missed
- Both a collection item and a morphing object are usually hidden somewhere in each scene, and morphing objects only give themselves away after you watch the scene for a few seconds.
- Pipe 8 of 8 and morphing object 15 of 46 sit in the witch's room, a scene you finish with once the map is stolen.
- Fang 7 of 7 is in the basement of the ancient town/fortress, reached only after the tunnel puzzle at the very end of the chapter.
- Many items cannot be picked up until a later need activates them, so players often walk past them the first time.
