Kite for maps

[WhYdOyOuThInKtHaThApPeNeD]

There's one map guard in Verona that would not budge. I had to get really crazy close to get him to activate at all, bouncing back a tiny notch he moves like a millimeter, gets ??? then stays still or heads back the millimeter he moved. Tried for a while but totally impossible.

Others were real ez. Traveling the coast on Montero there's a shore and elevator that leads to a tiny hill top which often has a map and guard. That guard has a much smaller activation radius compared to units guarding ordinary items, but larger than the impossible guy on Verona. Have to get real close to activate him and once he moves have to stay real close to keep him following. There's enough room up there to run behind him grab it and slip back by before he catches you. Lucky he was a slow Thorn. So it seems map guards have different degrees of difficulty.

Looting maps and tricking guards etc. is one of my favorite aspects of the game.
