Thanks, it was outside from tanglewood.

.2% to go! Still got the shenzun and matuu spot to figure out, the matuu looks complete on some maps, then on some mine seems a bit lighter.. like it could be unshrouded a bit more..

How does a Tyrian character enter Vizunah Local Quarter? My Tyrian character has completed all missions and I still can't access the Vizunah Local Quarter. Thanks to Leighwyn and TCFish's maps, I've made it to 99.4% on my Tyrian character. I know I have a little in Jade Quarry left but can never get in there. Right now comparing my map to Leighwyn's, I see the little strip in the red circle needs to be scouted further. It looks to be at least .1 maybe .2%. Any tips on getting in there? Thanks -Joe

Arggh...I've spent at least 24 hours trying to get this last 2% and I've made it to 99.6% and have given up. I've read every post on this topic on this forum as well as numerous other fansites' forums and its helped but not quite enough. I used the side by side method TWICE along with blowing both maps up to 200% and viewing pixel by pixel. Posting my maps on here so hopefully someone with fresh eyes can find my mistake. 10k for every area you unfog for me! IGN Starmidder the Weak.

Luxon area
Kaineng area

Thanks in advance for the help.

I looked over your map quickly Starmidder, but the only thing i found was part of my map that wasn't explored. Could someone Tell me how to uncover this area west of Leviathon Pits?


Also starmidder if you could post a zoomed out screenshot of you map i could do a map comparison using photoshop for you. Just make it 1024x768

Thanks -Joe Enter the mission and once you cleared the initial wave of afflicted where you meet togo; don't proceed right away to the next spawn area, but go towards two guards that is Vizunah Local and its all you need, just hug walls.

K not sure what your method it (if it works, maybe you should post it so everyone can use it). Here's my map, hope its what you wanted.

Btw, I found a little bit in the explorable sunjiang district putting me at 99.8%.

Thanks so much Leighwyn. Even with your green circles I still didnt notice a difference, but sure enough there was one. 100%!! PM me your IGN and I'll get you your reward.

They were all pretty minor spots, but all of the non-question mark ones were there :-)

I found 1% more so 1.2% to go. Can anyone give me approximate % value of Jade Quarry? It's only bigger area which I'm missing, after that I prolly have to do some minor wall hugging still. I'm soon gonna go to Fort Aspenwood and bribe people to come to Jade Quarry, I really need to scout that .

Thank You You are missing alot almost everywhere:
~ Dock in Kaineng
~ Bukdek Byway (Alot of the western end)
~ Sujiang District (Eastern Wall, through explorable)
~ Nahpui Quarter (Through explorable only, near ranger boss in middle of map)
~ Boreas Seabed (Use bridge in town to get to a alot of area)
~ Outside of Boreas Seabed (explorable area, I forgot the name, hug the ends of it)
~ Arborstone Explorable
~ Look at the map for the rest; just zoom in and you should see where everything is.

If its too small just zoom in more, it should be "comprehendable".

My method is really simple, though I luckily I had no need for it as I got 100% accidentaly , take a perfect 100% zoomed out map, say LuXa's (thank you LuXa for providing one and saving me the time); you need Photoshop. Take a screen shot of your map without anything on it, so shift + print scrn, and put it on top of the 100% map. Note: Difference won't work for this because the map is too tiny and almost impossible to see any differences this way. Zoom into your map ontop of the 100% map, maybe 2-3 times, then click the little eye-ball that is "view" for the layer you are on. Flip them fast enough and the differences will show themselves easily.

Note the dimensions in number are the same, but you have stretched the map and the side borders are missing so if you can get a regular ingame snap shot.

Devour, actually do the challenge mission in Zos Shivros. That should let you uncover everything.

Witchblade,

Like you, I am stuck, but I have 99.7%.

A thing that worked for me was to visit every town/outpost and press U and walkiing in the walls along its border. This only revealed 0.3%.

I have already beed banished by Shiro and have tried re-visting nearly all areas and still cannot get that 0.3%.

Man its so annoying.

i noticed an insane thing ... that did not happen to me when i did the Tyrian Map .. i m checking some spots atm .. i hugged the wall in a place i was sure i had the whole map .. i did it with eyes on my map .. it added me 0.1 and i'm damn sure it didnt add any pixel on it

also, happened to me 4 times now .. when i was unable to remove some fog ..

it worked after a few secs when, against the wall i pressed forward-backward 5 or 6 times ...and then POOF .. got the fog (kinda buggy to me)

Some Basic Mapping Tips:

1) Use The Keyboard, Not The Mouse.
You must get into the absolute nooks and crannies of the map. You just CAN'T do this with mouse navigation, no matter how hard you try, the keyboard will produce better results.

2) Go Slowly.
Running misses things. Many spots on the map require you to get to an exact location and sit there for a few seconds.

3) Reverse Course.
After walking a wall in one direction, reverse your trip and walk it the opposite way. There are a number of sneaky places where you will skip a spot exploring from one direction and get it from the opposite way.

4) Edge-Walk Everything!
I'm not kidding here. Everything. Every explorable zone, every mission, every outpost/town, Jade Quarry, Fort Aspenwood and every challenge mission (except the actual Dragon Throat mission)

5) Patience.
When you get to 95% it get real hard. When you get to 99% it can be maddening! (I am at 99.9%, so I know)

I am already at 100%, but want to map the two new areas as well. Stupid question but how is it possible? Instructor Ng does not let me through at the gate.
