Yo Miss Gags, I took the liberty of annotating which may help some of the areas (like Frost gate) involves necrotic traversal. Anyways, I KNOW all these spots can be gotten, since I found them just by comparing with my map. Mostly its all just extreeeeeeme wall hugging. Oh and thanks, this helped me find another small spot to clear of my own edit: damn... its in a lowby arena

Miss Gags, mostly the circled areas are places that you need to revisit and scrubs the walls. The cloud area does not just cover the normal map area but also the surrounding edges of the map, you will see a little cloud coverage dissapear when you wall creep the area on the very edge.

It is much harder since you don't always notice when it uncovers though, but this normally gives you the last few 0.1%'s that you need for the title

This thread has helped immensely, but I have reached 99.8% and finally can't see any more fog myself. Please check my map and let me know where to look for that last .2%. Thanks

edited- I labeled my map wrong- it really is 99.8

edit #2- Made it!!

Of course it's only for level 1-10 so I can't actually PvP in that arena. I cleared up the area right inside the arena staging area, but I guess I'll never be able to clear up the fighting portion of the arena. I would suggest you take your characters there immediately and do some pvp if the title is your goal. dont worry about thjat cause tyrian chars can also get title and they cant explore that area

hey guys, i am stuck at 99% and need a bit of help. Dougal Kronik, I e-mailed you a while ago asking if you could analyze my map, so here it is. Any help anyone could give would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

ok, I am at 99.9% now. I remapped all three ring of fire missions and got about 0.9%. I could use any help finding that last 0.1%, so if anyone has any ideas, let me know.

Hello everyone. I could use some help please I know of 2 spots I need but they are prolly only .2 or so. I just figured that 3% would jump out at me for sure. I really need someone with better eyesight to look this over for me. Screenshot is without icons at 1280x1024.

Map Here (Now at 98%)

Thank you in advance for you time and effort !!


BTW: Get your Tyians to the Monastary in Cantha this weekend to get the mappage there while the festival is going on...every little bit helps

I'm stuck at 98.9% of Tyria explored. I know there is a sizable chunk in Dunes, and I will explore that within the next few days with the help of a friend. In the meantime, could someone please analyze my map? Here it is:

Also, I don't mind doing the analysis myself, but I would need a 100% map and some tips on how to do it

Thanks for the help!

I got a problem with Frost Gate. I explored almost everything there but I have a spot in the East, where the hills begin. I have already been on Rurik path and I ran from edge to edge in the east but I didn't got it.

What's the trick?

This is the one I used, from Guildwiki. It is very clear and a nice size. I opened it in Irfanview in half my screen, and opened my game map up next to it, and moved section by section to compare. Good luck!

I've been working at this for a while now and am starting to lose hope. I have 5% left to get and I know I have Hell's Precipice and some of Abaddon's to do but I doubt that is all of it. Some help would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Yeah, I had a wedding this weekend (brother - I bartended) also. I've got loach, rhuob, theone8181, and traxorz for starters, will edit this post as I finish.

Loach - theres more but start with this, basically almost everything needs edging.
Rhuobhe - best I can do with 800x600 especially with the pins in
theone - yours was a very odd resolution which resulted in my having to stretch it but I got the bigger pieces marked with the green dot hit those first.
Traxorz - I didn't bother with the details on Abaddon's/precipice island this run, we'll see where you are after, you actually play at 1680x1050? man there are a lot of supported resolutions... GW rules!
Doola - I got your's here too, you may have a couple small bits on north wall of desert but I think those are new spots for me, I'll let ya know

Its hard to say without a side by side, but that looks like all you are going to get in the sw corner, you get a little from lornar's and a little from rurik's path but you can't unfog the whole area as far as I know. If I'm wrong tho, I wanna know too

Kovey00 - desert is clean as far as I can tell except the edging in topk, clouds made it dificcult on fire islands tho so I may have missed some there. I appreciate your help, but as you can see in post #1935 this page, I already ended up getting GMC on my own last nite. Thanks anyway though.

I'd like to answer Arohk about the southern part of frost gate he couldn't uncover. In fact this is not the frost gate you need to explore but the Lornar pass. I just did it by starting from the Beacon's perch and heading SE (watch out for the Ice Imps and Golems if you're soloing...) Stick to the wall south of the two separate rocks you see on your map and your char should uncover it

I wasalready aware of the beaches in sanctum cay but didnt think there was enough in there. Turns out there was. I might go check out some of those other spots but as i already got GMC i supose its a bit pedantic isnt it?

yeah I know 1280x1024 is common, for some reason your image was 1280x960 though which required a little streching is all. My laptop is a wuxga so it supports everything up to 1920x1200 and I dunno how you got a x960 heh.

Well. I've been exploring the last 6 Months on my warrior, Ive got more explored than my 2 guildies with a new character and they have 100% and i am stuck 98.9%

so my opinion is that all the exploration for older Tyrian characters is screwed up by Anet and they wont fix it, untill you probaly commite suicide cuz of it. lmao

Hi everyone...

Firstly, let me say "Hooorah" to the people in this thread who devote a good deal of their time and resources to help other people in this thread attain their goals. I thank you!

Secondly, I've got my Cantha GMC and am now working on my Tyria GMC. And toward that end I tried several times this last Sunday to get on Rurik's path in the Frost Gate. I could get one of the golems to fire on the Ascalon soldiers but not both, and the one alone was ineffective. I restarted several times trying to see an ettin or snow wolf on the path by the bridge and never did.

I want that 0.4%. I'm sure the trick is posted somewhere in this thread of 98 pages, and I would be ever so grateful if someone would point me to it. If not... what IS the trick?

Thanks so much for your help.

You're better off heading to the Dryder/Ettin cave and luring one of them under the bridge there.

the various tricks which I've read all have said lure the dryders, however, as casters.... I really recommend 'luring' an ettin under the bridge in the cave, as no real luring skill is required, they will stand wherever you want them to. The snow wolves have not once -ever- spawned for me (and lived) in a proper location, nor is it worth waiting till they come in range. just get into the cave, nuke an ettin (right under the bridge inside cave), and necrotic traverse/consume corpse....bam, on the bridge on ruriks path. easy as sin. Oh yeah, the ice guys killing ruriks guards? never had that work either.

Can someone please help me? I am W/Mo, I'm at 98.6% Tyria and I did the Photoshop thing and found some spots in The south shiverpeaks, but I can't find anyplace else. And my running/soloing build is getting owned there...
Can you please help me find the last few spots, please? I did the Frost Gate trick, but don't know of any others.
