Detailed public guide
The Ancient City in-game map reference. Use the map item entries alongside the region names; the public FAQ explains how the five maps work.
Use the game's five maps, and this only as a compass
The Ancient City already contains five maps that grow more detailed as Devian finds them. The cleanhit FAQ treats getting lost as part of the difficulty, which is a reason not to publish a replacement atlas. Prima's official guidebook has the complete plans. Those pages are copyrighted and they are not redrawn here. The sketch names the regions a walkthrough crosses: the opening Zone of Darkness, the Holy Forest, the Ocean Fort, the city proper, Widda Castle, the Iron Refinery, the mines, and the approach to the Dark One.
Egg Field, the graveyard, the treasury, and the earth-folk caves are in the walkthrough list and off this drawing so the boxes stay readable. If you need that longer chain, open the Ancient City walkthrough. Camera advice does not belong on a map: D-pad to turn, triggers to look, on the PCSX2 page.
Two endings hang on the Moonlight Sword, which is a flag, not a room. I did not draw a fork for it. Save in the game before the last door, then decide. The release history of the disc is on the game page.
