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.

Ensure you are in full screen mode (not window mode) by clicking on the box in the middle of the 3 icons at the upper right edge of your screen
Zoom out - entire world of tyria
Press Shift + Print screen - to remove any of the icons/pins from the map
Exit map mode - press 'M' again
Read the message that tells you what Guild Wars has saved the screen shot as.
Minimize Guild Wars - by clicking on the line at the left of the 3 icons at the upper right edge of your screen
Go to your Guild Wars/screens directory and find the screenshot
Open it to make sure it is the correct one
Verify the dimensions of the screenshot by using the properties - right click on the file or just hold your mouse over the file icon
Open it up in Paint
Resave it as a jpg format - reduces the size of the file
Upload it in a post in this thread
Then I'll download it and analyze it along with the incredible advice of others in the community
Then I upload your individual analyzed map - in a special post just for you!

This will be reposted as necessary.

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!

Ive actually got, what I think is, a 100% map from online for tyria and im going to compare it.

But here is mine anyway for tyria:

And if your able to, if youve achieved 100% on cantha, take a look at Cantha too:

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.
