Underkeep Automap: Mark Doors, Secrets and Return Routes

Use the automap as a record of unfinished work. Mark the obstacle, what you observed and what you need to return with, rather than merely writing “come back.”

What is confirmed

The store describes a built-in automap with custom markers. The October 2026 developer update specifically announced minimap notes. These are independent official descriptions of the feature, not evidence that a public map already contains every secret.

The current player guide reports M as the default map key. If you changed bindings or use a controller, check the Controls menu.

Useful notes to leave

• For a locked door, record the local name and the kind of lock or clue you actually saw.
• For rubble or a resource vein, record the obstacle and the tool message.
• For a puzzle, record the untouched arrangement or a distinctive nearby landmark.
• For a portal, distinguish seeing it from activating it.
• For an unexplored branch, record the safe route you used to reach it.

These are editorial note-taking suggestions. They are not invented in-game coordinates or a list of required secrets.

Return efficiently

Before backtracking, compare the current tool and quest inventory with the notes. Choose a specific unfinished task rather than walking through every old passage again. After completing it, update the note so it does not send you back unnecessarily.

When the map looks wrong

Patch 1.0.4 fixes an empty-corridor display glitch in Hollowgrave Tunnels. If your problem resembles that older issue, update and compare the actual room with the map. A map display fix does not prove a new route or secret room exists.

Keep location and version together

Demo maps, full-game maps and old screenshots can differ. Label a saved note or screenshot with the area and build when asking for help.
