Default Need help with Canthan cartography

If this is in the wrong section, then please move it.

I've been exploring Cantha for my cartography title and there's this 1 spot that refuses to uncover itself. I tried scraping from 3 different locations and it is still foggy. If anyone knows how to get it uncovered, please reply.

Here's a picture *I'm using Texmod (Cartography made easy mod)*


The blue arrows are the places I scraped.
The red circle is the area that doesn't want to uncover.

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.

Really, you just need to scrape more. Look at where the missing regions are, and figure out where the "trigger" point is (should be equidistant from all the convex points in most cases), and that will get you most of the points. For the harder ones, here are tips:

4) Only accessible from Unwaking Waters Mission, it's at the start.
13/14) You'll need to enter from both sides to get these spots.
15) Vizunah Square Mission

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.

might be the bit you can only get on the local side at the very beginning there. 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
