Really, How is it possible to choose?

For me I guess it's the places that are beautiful and/or are not "easy" to get to. So,...

Tyria:
- Dreadnaught's Drift (the corner where Maw the Mountain Heart spawns)
- Abaddon's Mouth mission, when you're walking away from the seer there's a stunning Volcano
- Fisherman's Haven

Cantha
- The Gothic-looking building above the warrior boss Tarnen the Bully - That's a stunning building.
- House Zu Heltzer.
- Tahnnakai Temple (Explorable)...I feel it's quite an achievement to get to Imperial Guardsman Yang.

Elona
- Kodash Bazaar and outlying explorable towns. It's really nice to have an explorable area which is "civilised" to wander round and enjoy.
- The Throne of Secrets...and the views off the edge into the darkness.
- The Crystal Overlook, by the Forgotten Guardian. Mainly just a sense of being totally alone. Miles from anywhere and on the "boundary" of two great continents. The Crystal Overlook is a fantastic place in general...

I'd have to go with Dragon's Gullet in the far northern reaches of Ascalon. It's not THAT well-known, and it is actually quite beautiful in a strange way. It's basically a HUGE lake of tar, with ruins scattered from place to place. The sky is pretty too.

I have to say you're mad

I went there to explore. Never again. The scenery, background music and enemies just wanted to make me kill myself.

I forgot the Citadel of Dzagon. It reminded me of the Fortress of Jahai, but much larger.

I second Dragon's Gullet. Part of the reason is because there are huge ruins there and perhaps the Tomb of Drascir is in that area as well...

Crystal Overlook is a very different place. I didn't do a lot of exploring there, mostly just to capture Shattering Assault, but you can definitely feel like you're close to the Crystal Desert, somehow.

Put the peanut in the peanut hole!

Anything in Maguuma is beautiful.

I remember when me and my boyfriend would go down into The Falls to farm for some totem axes and fans, the views there are absolutely beautiful. ^^

There's also some places around in Cantha, but my mind ATM is dead. Lol. xD

Ohh yes. Pre-searing has got to be the most gorgeous part of the Prophecies campaign. That and those birch trees in the Shiverpeaks. Oh and the beacon waaaay at the top of Beacon's Perch. That's very picturesque.

I nominate Melandru's Garden in pre-seared Ascalon.



You usually won't come across it unless you are specifically looking for it. It's tucked away and can only be reached via a secluded entrance.

+1 for Melandru's garden. It has this eerie, almost mystical feel about it, the broken down buildings, swamps, and shafts of light, makes you wonder who lived there, and why was it abandoned?

Majesty's rest, although horrible to fight through, is a rewarding experience.

Pre-searing Ascalon was fantastic, I especially liked Foible's Fair and the area surronding it, was very sad when I got into post-searing and it had gone. Yak's Bend I thought was fantastic. The Southern Shiverpeaks are also excellent, I especially like Mineral Springs because you have the feeling of being miles away from anywhere, loved capping elites there. Twin Serpent Lakes are also good, because there not on your travels, you have to explore them entirely at your own desire.

There's others, but I hadn't heard Borlis mentioned yet.

Maguuma Jungle, more specifically The Falls, is the most beautiful place to explore BUT the mobs are annoying as hell (all that degeneration...). Sadly its one of the more remote areas without any ouspost to start from But the jungle in general is amazing to explore...

And I gotta go with House Zu Heltzer from factions as well

Wow, well, lets see, shall we?

I like the Falls - not just the waterfally bits, but the whole area.
Another favourite would be the beach in Minister Cho's Estate in Cantha.
As for Elona... I'd say the west canyon in Holdings of Chokhin with all the glowing lights is really pretty too.

Other places I like are North-West Iron Horse Mine as well as the top of Anvil Rock - both have a sort of cold, solitary beauty that I haven't seen anywhere else in the game.

I like Talmark Wilderness and Majesty's Rest as well, (Talmark has a boss called 'Hops Flameinator' and is therefore ftw )

Mourning Veil Falls in the petrified forest is another one thats nice, along with Melandru's Hope.

And in Elona, the eastern most area of Barbarous Shore, as well as the pirate cove are good fun, but Crystal Overlook is impressive too, with it's open and expansive dunes.

So yeah, theres my favourites

Yeah, i want to be able to look out my window and see a funny named boss moving around, So any of the non elite skill boss's in chap 1 would work for that. "hops flameinater" or "cobble poundstone" almost all of the out of the way places have funny boss names And awsome vistas,veiws and screenshots........Anyone who dosnt go for 100% explorer is Really missing out
