If you dont enter every portal from both sides, you'll be pretty sure to miss some small tiny spots..
And remeber to enter the portal from both sides of it.. gl with it

I've been trying to put off posting here (you guys must be hella busy), but I am seriously stuck now. I'm at 98.6% and can't see a single spot that I can physically get to. I Need help with that last tiny bit.

Below is a link to a ZIP containing both an M map and a U map taken at 1280x1024 in BMP format for maximum image quality.

Goliath 36 Meg Zipped Maps!

If you could give it a look over, it'll be muchly appreciated.

Many thanks guys! You're legends

I am stuck at 98.3%
I tried the difference method, but even though I see some spots that stand out in the difference image, there is nothing to uncover there if I try them...

So maybe someone with more experience could take a look and tell me if I am missing something...

Thanks a lot!!

hi I managed to get 98.8% but now I'm completely struck.

Would someone be so nice to analyze my zoomed out map?

1280x1024 resolution, .bmp , without city names etc.

I'm stuck at 99.8% and i could use some help. I can offer a reward, i'm thinking about 5k per 0.1%. So the first one(s) to show me the correct places will get the price (max 10k per person and minimum 5k :P).

So here are the maps and a picture showing i have 99.8% (also my in-game name is shown)

Island : http://users.telenet.be/MetalWrath/PS/998%25island.jpg
Main Land: http://users.telenet.be/MetalWrath/PS/998%25main.jpg
Zoomed Out : http://users.telenet.be/MetalWrath/P...tmap998%25.jpg (i hope i did it correctly)
and title progress: http://users.telenet.be/MetalWrath/PS/title998%25.jpg

Just leave your in-game name with the reply and i will make sure you get the reward.

after helping Sp3tzn4z get her rangers last .2 percent, ive noticed that i can identify maps quite well :P so if anyone wants mapping help from me, just ask (just thought id take some pressure off silent

)

if you want me to help, just post a link to your zoomed out map. for me, please:
make sure you are in fullscreen 1280X1024
press ctrl+shift+h
press m
quickly click to zoom out, then press print screen button as fast as you can
paste into paint, and save as a .bmp
host it and link it
wait for corrections

i have pointed out a few uncovered spots (not all of them), try these first, and post your map again, and tell me your percent.

Just wanted to post my thanks to everyone on this thread and for the 100% maps.... I actually managed to get this without asking for help on here!

Now to go back and figure out how I finish Cantha without the exploits (Im @ 99.7% and will likely have to askfor help on that one..).
