I'm 99% sure that you cannot uncover that square.

That area is able to be cleared. However, there should be enough leeway in the map that you can still get 100% without it.

Hi everyone. I've been lurking on the website for a while, and I've read this thread over the last couple days as I am currently working on my Canthan Cart as well. I've noticed a lot of people asking over and over where to get the area around Matu Keep. I also needed it, so I went and tried it. To my surprise, not only did I get the entire thing, but I also got a "black spot" that I guess the makers of that texmod were unable to get. I didn't do anything special for this.

All I did was hug the wall, but I think what most people miss is that you have to go a bit to the right of the fog, where the wooden fence is. Normally it would seem that this is too far away to uncover it, but it will indeed actually get it all for you, hopefully.

Here's the map.








---------------------------



Alright, now let me ask for some help.

I know that for #1 on the first one you need to do the mission, and I'll go do that now, but I have no idea how to get the rest.

You can get n°2 doing Vizunah as well, as it is the southern wall of the missions (You can hug this wall after fighting the third afflicted mob).

I got n°3 starting from Zin Ku Corridor (It's the outpost which will let you through Tahnnakai Temple Explorable), just hug the walls and everything should be fine.

N°4 it is pretty tricky: what I found here, and worked for me, was to go through Shadow's Passage and hug the walls staying the nearest as possibile to the zone portal.

For the other map:

N°1: I think you should get that part starting from Tanglewood Corpse.
N°4: You should get it by watching the starting cutscene in JQ (But, if I recall correctly, you shouldn't need JQ for your final GMC)
N°5: I don't remember really well how I got this spot, I think I just explored JQ while things were a bit "quiet" and got it ^^.

I can't help you on n°2 and 3, I'm trying to figuring these out too =P.

The thing about exploring, is you have to discover it for yourself. Otherwise you're just going where you're told. And erm... where's the image?

I agree with bartjé and dnbo.

Also, welcome to the Canthan Cartography sticky. There's one for each continent, y'know...

I believe its in the Vizunah Square mission, just whip through it in normal mode, hugging the walls and you'll get it all.

Just hop on with someone from cantha who's doing the quest that takes them there. That'll grab some of it the rest is yeah just scrape in that mission.

I had a similar problem, but that is Vizunah Square, where you need to really grind the walls usually a couple times back and forth. Like someone said, that's also the local quarter (Entrance from Undercity)



I just finished up with the glitched area in Eredon Terrace ;P

For a foreign character to get to Viz Local, you have to join a group with a native Canthan character doing the quest "Mayhem in the Market". It's a multi-part quest, but you just need to join someone doing the last part, which gives access to Viz Local. The groups for this quest usually form in The Marketplace.

You can just run/fight your way there from the Undercity, just go through the NE Exit.

Enter Arborstone explorable from Altrumm Ruins. You need to get to the area north of the cathedral and explore the swamp and the cave where Kaswa Webstrider is found. One way is to go straight through the cathedral to the far side, out to where Mhenlo was trapped at the start of the mission. Go up the ramp and head into the cave. After you've cleared the cave, come back out and head across the bridges, past the portal to the Arborstone mission outpost, and down the ramp into the swamp.

There is a gate that allows passage to that area that is only open in one of the possible entry methods, I forget. Basically, just head on in from the other point of entry than when you entered previously.

I think there is another sizable spot that you are missing if you still have .2% to go.

There are two gates leading into that area. One is on the west side of the valley by a rez shrine that is south of the bridge with the Zunraa bell beside it, and the other is on the east side, almost directly south of the mission outpost.

Anyone know how I can get the two circled portions here?
I've hugged the walls in shenzun tunnels, Vizunah square miss and Wajuin Bazaar and none of them seemed to map the areas

Both of those spots are in Wajjun Bazaar. You've just got to find the right spot to step in.

Hey guys,

It's great to see that my guides are still being used some 4 years since I originally posted them, and that the cartography legacy is still running strong. I figured they'd have been trampled into the dust long ago. So this is a most pleasant surprise. ^_^

It's been about 3 years since I last played, and I'm now back to finish off some of the stuff I hadn't done yet, as well as looking forward to things that have been released since I last played, I hadn't even entered the Eye of the North area, though I had bought it.

So if you see me in game, don't be shy, send me a hello! ^_^
