## Key points

- Big Walk's map is hidden behind a multi-step puzzle chain, not given freely.
- Players must open a drawbridge, then solve a five-gourd tower puzzle for a key.
- The key unlocks a room with both a wall map and a portable map.

## Summary

This Destructoid guide explains how to obtain the map in the game Big Walk, a step early players are advised to prioritise since much of the game world starts locked and is easy to get lost in. Locating the map requires solving a short chain of puzzles rather than simply picking it up, making the process a useful early-game milestone for orientation.

Players must first open the red drawbridge near the ocean, then circle the cliff to find a locked blue doorway leading into the hills. Reaching it requires solving a gourd-collecting puzzle atop a nearby red tower (finding and placing five gourds) to unlock a key, which is then cut and used to open the doorway. Inside is both a large, fixed wall map showing all unsolved puzzles and a smaller, portable foldable map that the guide's author recommends for everyday navigation.
