To get the last bits at the end of Frost Gate - Activate the middle winch last. Each winch opens a different gate and the central one finishes the mission. If you open the other two, one at a time, you can go through the gates and explore the areas beyond. =)
Marth - You need to do a lot of edge walking around snake dance, and all the way up to lornars. Check out some of the other peoples maps - the lines should be pretty straight when you are done. And of course you need to finish uncovering the southwest portion of Dunes of Despair. lol

After exiting the ice cave where Rornak Stonesledge is located, there may be a snow wolf at the base of a cliff. Use your warping skill on the snow wolf or its corpse after you kill it. Players taking this path can also find one of the "edge of the world" glitches that exist in the game.
Basically just make your secondary necromancer (unless your primary necro) and bring necrotic traversal or consume corpse. the wolf sometimes wanders away and you can either wait and hope it comes back or just start over (really isnt hard to run up to the wolf if your lvl 20, at least for my ranger it isnt). It is also common to be missing the very bottom of The Frost Gate. At the end of the mission there are some rooms that are some areas that are generally avoided, but you clear them fairly easy with a group (or hench) willing to do so.

eiirish, I know you are just looking for help, but you have so much left to uncover that you are really being unfair to Dougal asking him to show all the places you have left. Look at all of the other maps people have posted and you can see VERY EASILY with your own eyes where you should go exploring. You could go to just about any area of the game and walk around the edges and get more of your map uncovered. The Wilds, Snake Dance, Dunes of Despair, Lornars Pass, Dreadnaughts Drift - LOTS of places left to go.
BE KIND TO THE DOUGAL!

In my opinion, this title is about the old classic tale of the turtle and the hare. Turtle>hare. Not once did I have a running skill in my skillbar. I also killed everything as I went along, without being a cookiecutter MM or SS necro, I might add. My best advice to anyone aspiring to get this title is to take it slow and carefully. Time, hard work, and not rushing will get you this title. How did u get 100% without even getting to the last mission? and u also missed lots other parts n arenas.. I did Aurora Glade Mission bonus area, along Rurik's path in Frost Gate, and the fort in the SW corner of Dunes of Despair Mission n still at only 99.6%, n i also clean the map in last mission. Edit: i'm at 100% now.

Theres a gate In the Ruins of surmia Mission has any 1 got passed the gate where the Ember bears spawn for the bonus ??
theres always a boss but to far to kill is there a trick any1 knows of to get in that area remedy916nos
im mapping OBVIOUSLY.. this thread is freaking huge and reading it all is taking forever!!! at first i thought the actual fighting grounds of pvp arenas counted.. from what ive been reading they dont. while i did think they did for awhile i was shouting out in towns to find out where the hell d alessio arena was, because that was the next to visit.. *side note* im looking at the prima offiicial game guide poster size map. showing 8 arenas? which i read you cant get to. so basically my question now is beyond a mapping question. ARE THESE ARENAS EVEN ACCESSIBLE ANYMORE? and why did arenanet get rid of them if they arent? and i also read in this thread that tyria chars cannot explore cantha to 100%? help an anal gamer out! =) thx

Here is LuXa's guide to creating Difference maps with Photoshop.

Be sure to press Shift+Printscreen to remove all icons. 2) Open up Photoshop and load in both the 100% map (link above) and your current map (found in your Guild Wars\Screens folder). (picture) 3) If your map is at a different resolution to either of the 100% maps, you'll need to resize it.To do this, go to Image -> Image Size..., make sure Constrain Proportions is checked, and type in 768 for the height. Click OK (picture). Go to Image -> Canvas Size..., click the centre square, make sure Relative is unchecked, and type in 1024 for the width. Now your map should line up perfectly with the 100% map. (picture) (note: this step assumes you're using the 1024x768 map as reference) 4) We're done with your map. Press CTRL+A to select your entire image, CTRL+C to copy, move over to the window with the 100% map (you did have both maps open in Photoshop, right?) and press CTRL+V to paste. In the Layers box down at the bottom right, you should see two layers - the 100% map at the bottom and your map above that. (picture) 5) Now we'll compare the differences. In that same Layers box, you'll see a dropdown menu saying "Normal." Click on it, and select "Difference." Before doing this, make sure you have your layer with your map selected (by default it's called Layer 1). (picture) 6) You should now have a difference map, consisting of mostly blacks and little spots of colour. Dark areas denotes places which are the same in both maps (i.e. places you've uncovered), and bright areas shows the places which are different (i.e. places you haven't uncovered). (picture) 7) If you want to check on any area manually, just go to the dropdown menu again (in the Layers box) and select "Normal." In the same Layers box, you'll see an eye to the left of your layers. Clicking it will turn your layer invisible, and clicking it again will make your layer reappear. Just zoom in on the area you want to inspect, and click the eye over and over again in quick succession. This will toggle your map on and off and will allow you to see exactly where the difference is. (picture) A note about the 100% map. There are a couple of uncovered areas I know of: - Dunes of Despair bonus area - A spot in Tangle Root, just west of Henge of Denravi - North-west corner of Mineral Springs If those areas show up as bright spots in your difference map, do a manual comparison described in step 7. There ya go. If GIMP is anything like Photoshop, the steps won't be too different. The important things are: Resizing/cropping (if necessary), layering your map on the 100% map and setting the Blending Mode (as it's called in Photoshop) to Difference. Let me know if you need help with anything (not GIMP though, I'm clueless about that!). Edit: Added some pictures! Edit2: Link to a 1280x1024 map (hope ya don't mind, Leighwyn Quote:
