How does the M map and layer comparison work, considering the clouds move and will make all screenshots different ?
i dont quite understand that point of the comparison process

im nearing the stage where i (propably) need to compare maps too, but i dont see how the M map will work for that

The clouds follow the same pattern every time, so if you take your screenshot as quickly as possible, there won't be much difference in cloud cover.

Well, I was able to get another .1%. Turns out I hadn't revealed the fort in the middle of Sunward Marches. Other than that, I've been having no luck. I guess I'll go back to Lightbringer farming to take a break so I can get a fresh look, and hopefully someone else will have analyzed my map. I can try to get it in a different resolution if that helps.

This is really frustrating, as I was able to get GMC on Tyria and Cantha without any help, yet I seem helpless in finding this remaining .3% of the map =/.

I got 99.9% just exploring normally (before even looking in this thread), but I don't have that end-game area in Chantry, and I haven't finished the game (though I'm pretty close). I did with my Tyrian warrior there. The last few missions aren't actually on the main map and don't count towards the title, that's all I'll say about that

I have been looking at my map and other maps that have been posted and I can not find what I am still missing. I am at 99.9%.
Here are my map images:

My links should work now, but they are still being resized

LuXa Method: 1024x768

LuXa Method: 1280x1024

I hope someone here might be able to help me. If this Luxa method isnt enough to find the areas I still need, then I will try doing the Leighwyn Method.

Thanks in advance.

P.s. I saved my files in bmp, but there showing in the link with png. Please let me know if I am doing it wrong. Thanks.

Finally.... I've got 100%

At least, the last 0.5% was a dangerous and serious problem for my eyes

Congratulations all GMC by the titles.

Just a note, I updated my map again (Map 1 in OP). It should be right around 100.7-100.8%. I know of 3 spots I don't have (from comparing against many maps), but no matter how many times I scrape those walls I simply can't get them. I figure if I can't get them after many scrapes they're not worth including anyway.

Congrats to our latest GMC's, and I'll see if I can't take some time to look at some maps tonight.

I assume you mean Dasha Vestibule, if that's the case then leave from Honur Hill and travel NW towards a resurrection shrine with a Sunspear Scout. The wall next to him should crumble and a door will be in it's place. Just walk through the door and you should be there.

Here's a map (taken from wiki):

He is talking about grand court of sebelkeh mission, I think. I don't know if there is any specific area for that. It is the mission town itself.

I think it will be helpful if people just mention the areas that were hard to find for people like us who are trying to reach there.

- Vel Ah yeah, I must've read it wrong, thanks.

Grand Court you can just enter from Mirror of Lyss, there are two portals going into it, neither one matters.

Here's a map: (wiki again, hope this time it's the one you're looking for, XD)

Ok. 99.4%. I'm stuck I have no idea where else to go. I do NOT have Dasha Vestibule on my map. Hope that won't make that much of a difference. I have also NOT completed the game yet. So, I know I should get .1% from Chantry of Secrets. Otherwise, would someone be kind enough to analyze for me? Thanks in advance.

I've tried difference comparison (Photoshop method) and apparently my map is the same (with the exception of a little piece northeast of Kamadan that I cant uncover). Can someone else try comparing and see if they find something? I'm stuck at 99.1%. Thanks.
