In the spirit of helping intrepid adventurers everywhere (as well as bloggers like me), I have decided to post a guide to the Etrian Odyssey 3 map icons. Not even a Google search found a complete key. See the arcane symbols below (after the jump)? Well, there is no guide to what these symbols mean! At least none that I could find. Problem is, as far as I can tell, unlike the first two games, Etrian Odyssey 3 never provides the player with a key to the map icons.

The Etrian Odyssey games give the player the freedom to experience this style of gameplay in the modern world by mapping dungeons on the DS’s lower screen using the stylus. In the olden days, RPG gamers used pencils and graph paper to painstakingly map their way through grid-based dungeon crawler RPGs. One of the standout features of the Etrian Odyssey series is its map-making system. Etrian Odyssey 3 - Look at these heroes, ready and eager to map!
