Map puzzle. Auto-translated

I've reached the 5th game, but I've never really thought about this puzzle map that gets smaller as you approach the obelisks. Can you explain how it works and what to dig up? What symbols can be used to identify the correct spots? I can't figure it out, and most importantly, I don't understand how to overlay this puzzle image onto the map where the hero moves.

Thanks in advance to everyone.

This mini-map indicates where the Tear of Ashi is buried. Once you've explored the entire map (visited all the obelisks), you'll see the location marked on it where the tear is buried. You then compare (mentally!) this information with the real-world location... Through these simple steps, you figure out where on the actual map you need to dig. You rush to that spot and, starting on a NEW DAY without taking a single step, begin digging... If you don't find it, dig nearby! And then, luck strikes – the Tear is yours!:D You rush back to the town, and a super-building appears there, which will give you and the town a ton of various bonuses and advantages!!!:cool:

Thank you! Is this only for a specific stage of the game, or if I find this tear, will it be with me throughout the entire next game? I couldn't figure out which area was marked on the map in previous versions... :( I'll try here – thanks!

No, it’s just like a building; in the next map, you’ll have to search for it again (if it’s there). And in the previous installments, finding the Grail was very easy; in Heroes of Might and Magic III, I didn’t even always open all the Grails, I searched everywhere.

Could you tell me what amazing buildings the Tear of Ash allows you to build?

the empire gains experience, which increases income by 5000 and creature growth by 50%, and it also does something else, but I don't remember what.

Go ahead and unlock all possible buildings. Then, the one that can be built using the Tear will appear.

Just unlock all possible buildings. Then the one that can be built using the Tear will appear.

How is that possible?! :confused:

and there is a button near the *recruit army* button, in the form of a small white sheet of paper.

I was playing the last mission for the Elves, where you have to kill King Kol. I went around all the obelisks, found where the tears are buried, but I still couldn't find the location...

So, look around a bit more carefully, figure out if it's a Dungeon or not, if there's water or not, and so on. You can't just come up with a map puzzle out of thin air.

and also on the map puzzle, when you open it, you can see the path of the hero's movement, and thanks to this, it's easier to find the Tear of Ashi :)

By the way, puzzle maps don't quite accurately indicate the location either – creatures, resources, etc., are not displayed. But it's worth it, otherwise it would be unfair and uninteresting.
