Check elevation before changing direction
A nearby marker may sit on a roof, in a tunnel or inside a building. Look for a transition point before circling the same street.
Route finder / patch coverage checked October 12, 2026
Find the next route by Zone, mission or movement ability. This database records paths a player can repeat without using guessed coordinates or a decorative map image.

Manhattan is built from large, layered Zones rather than one flat open-world sheet. Streets, interiors, Faults and gravity changes can place the objective above, below or behind the marker you see.
Each route below names the starting point, destination, movement gate, mission and version checked. Unverified coordinates are omitted instead of being presented as a complete map.
Start with the objective that is blocked, then check whether the path needs a traversal ability, an environmental mechanic or an earlier quest. Coordinates are omitted when the game itself uses layered interiors or changing gravity.
