oh sry about that, somehow i used a diferent rezolution in my game :S

i got 99,6% now btw. i know of 3 spots i got uncovered, i just dunno how to get there, 1 at the southeast bit in the fortress of jahai, another along the west wall south of gates of desolation and the other just outside champion's dawn to north, at the tip of the lake thing.

here's the screens so people can identify them better:

if somebody can show me on to uncover it i would apreciate it.
and tks to everybody that contributed to this thread, i wouldnt made it this far if i didn't check it ^^

I’m tired of trying to find the last spots so... >_> I have 99.1% of the map, at the moment.

"M" Map: http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/2449/gw067ff9.jpg

While I was comparing maps, I saw this one on mine at "Gandara, The Moon Fortress" that may not be entirely open. If so, how do you get there? I tried for about 1 hour and couldn’t even get near it... http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/2860/mehgm6.png

Oh, and there’s this portion of Fortress of Jahai that don’t seem entirely open as well, but I tried to uncover it from both Yatendi Canyons and Jahai Bluffs… Am I crazy or what? >_> http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/3209/jahainq4.png

This is the first time I’m asking for help on mapping so, if anyone that may help me want some “U” maps for better comparison, I’ll upload them asap.

Sorry about the size, never noticed that full screen could have a different revolution.

I think elona has a lot more maps areas that have zero difference when explored (more than just Turai's Procession). I just did a difference map at 99.0%, and I only see 3 tiny spots, which at best would amount to .15% each. In the ideal case, my missing spots are just "partially" explored spots, which simply need to be directly ran over. Either way, my last 1% won't be easy. ><

Hey Guys!

I haven't finished the game yet, but I've access to all the areas (except the back area of the Chantry of Secrets) and would like to ask for a map comparison. I'm at 99,4% and I'm playing with a Tyrian-born character.
Thanks a lot in advance.
PS: The screenshot is 1280x1024 and have taken as soon after pressing M as I was possible to do.

Thank you for taking the time to do that compare for me. I see a lot of little circles to get back to, but at least that looks a lot less scary than the idea of revisiting the whole world

I'll let ya know if I get to the magic 100%.

Objective achieved, with KoaBD thrown in as a bonus.

Only took a couple of hours to visit the places you had ringed tommarrow, and in fact I only needed half of them to reach the 100% (so there is some slack in the title).

Many thanks for this excellent service you are providing, without it I may have been months away from completing this

Thanks again Tommarrow, I'm up to 99.1%. Every 3 spots yielded about a .1% so everything you highlighted was pretty spot-on. Just a bit more!

Thanks again for the help.

Hi,

Found some more spots, and I'm currently at 98.5%. However, safe from some bits of Blue from the Fort of Jahai, I'm seeing no other spots left. So, here's my map again to see if someone could check it. Tyrian born char, 1024x768.

Same story as most everyone... I've reached 98.1%, done the flipping back and forth between the complete map and mine, can't see the spots I need to de-cloud. I'm including a 1024x768, 1280x1024, and a 1440x900 (my standard res). Any direction would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Help please~! I've reached the most frustrating point in my title progression. 99.9%...and I can't find that last TINY little bit.

However, I do have the sneaking suspicion that it's on Istan/noob island somehwere because when I left it after systematically mapping it, I only had 20.7% but I read in several threads (or possibly many pages of this one) that most people left Istan with around 22-23%. So could someone please help me check my map of Istan? Many many thanks in advance.
