| − | == In-Game Map Overview ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When playing Sacred 2, pressing the "M" key will produce an entire map of the world of Ancaria. During the beginning of the game, when it first appears, the map will be in black and white, with only the area that the character is presently in showing up in color. The colored areas will increase as more of Ancaria is traveled through and discovered. It is a live map that will display enemies as red triangles as they move about or toward you:

| |
| − |
| |
| − | *Tip- Travel is possible while this map is open. This is more easily accomplished if the terrain direction (compass) corresponds to the Minimap's direction, i.e., both are pointing North. (If Rotation is unchecked in Options, pressing the Z key will return the compass to North to match the Minimap.)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *Note- The Tab-map can be used even if the Minimap is hidden.
