The steps
-
Ammolite: set your waypoint
- Where: Spot marked on the map at 0:12
The ammolite and fluorite are the first two rare items. Set a waypoint on the spot the video marks on the map at 0:12 (the video does not say the place name) and pick up the AMMOLITE there.
- Open the map
- Set a waypoint where the video does (0:12)
- Take the Ammolite
-
Keep going to the loot box (halfway)
Carry on along the route. When you see this LOOT BOX you are about halfway to the fluorite. Open it for a billfold, a coin sack and aged pirate rum.
- Follow the route
- Open the lock box (halfway point)
-
Take the fluorite
Take the FLUORITE at the end of the route. Ammolite and fluorite sell to a fence for $25 each - the video knows of no other use.
- Take the Fluorite
- Sell both to a fence (optional)
Watch out: The route is risky - the video nearly falls at 1:58 ("that was close").
