Marquis's Hideout

[Captain Laffite]

Well I finally have the full map to where the Marquis's hideout is. I can't seem to find it though. It says search southeast of Villa Hermosa and there is a landmark. I was sailing around in that area and there isn't much east of Villa Hermosa, but there isn't the landmark that it shows on the map. I can't find his hideout at all. I tried just landing at a spot and going from there (actually when I tried just guessing, I found one of the landmarks on the map, but I traveled for 10 days and didn't see any others). Please help.

Post your map so we can give more accurate advice.

Usually those middle-of-nowhere maps SE ofVilla Hermosa has an inland-lake in it, and that's usually quite close to the SW corner of the Bay of Honduras. (opposite side of the land mass).

How to make screenshot:
In game, open the map. Press PrintScreen button, and press Ctrl-Esc (or Windows button). That will open your Windows menu. Open Paint from there, and paste. Save the image as JPG. Finally upload your image to ImageShack (http://imageshack.us/) and post the link here.

did you notice that inlet SE of VH?
Are there any landmarks in that body of water?

[Captain Laffite]

I'll go look for an inlet or lake first. If I don't prevail I'll come back with a screenshot.

Well I don't seem to have paint on this computer so I can't post a screenshot. And do you really think that Southeast means it could be all the way on the other side of that land mass? I'll just keep looking and post when everything has failed.

Landmarks are nothing without the important X that marks the spot.
I had to start a new game because there was no X for my lost city.
Good luck !

There is an x alright, just can't find the landmark. There doesn't look like any inland lakes or something like that near Villa Hermosa, just rivers. I"m going to sail to the other side of the land mass and see if I can find something there.

I found it! It happened to be all the way on the other side of the land mass and the landmark was on an inland lake. Hideout took a very long time to find, I think my compass points the wrong ways on east and west because I had to go east to find the hideout when the map tells me to go west Thanks for all the help.

Ha, you're right wolfwood. That was a stupid mistake on my part And I know paint comes with microsoft but I am not seeing it under accessories or under search. Might be because the name I"m logged into isn't the main one of the computer or something like that.

Also, I just happened to run into the lost city of the Incas while I was looking for the Marquis

Yes, I ran into this sort of problem my first adventure in the Spanish Main. Near as I can tell, if something's in Mexico, it can be ANYWHERE the heck in Mexico. Oh man, and when the map doesnt even show the coast, forget it.
One thing I do as a last resort is to head directly SE or whatever from the city mentioned. It's a long shot, but it has helped me find a number of rather VERY LOST cities. Your mileage may vary.
