I've only got 2.1% to go. I'll try to go over what I've covered here, but alot of it I can't remember.
Took a trip to Shing Jae arena.
Fully explored Minister Cho's Estate, including the chain of islands to the north.
Fully mapped every challenge mission (with the exception of Dragon's Throat).
I've run up every pier that I know of.
Fully explored Raisu Palace (explorable), including the whole northern area.
Got Shiro to Banish me in the final mission.
Fully explored the back of Tahnnakai Temple.
Been to Fort Aspenwood and Jade Quarry (yes I managed to get in a battle there).
Rubbed along every wall in Unwaking Waters (explorable).
Compared mine to a completed map and can't seem to find differences with the exception of the Monastary Overlook. I don't have it because I skipped the pointless tutorial in the beginning but that shouldn't matter since Tyria starters can get 100% of Cantha.
If anyone can give me some tips for picking off my last 2.1%, it would be greatly appreciated.
Need tips for map Cantha map completion
