It's the path that lets you get the section between Talus Chute and Ice Caves, where you walk up random hills you shouldn't be able to and can see a vast sea of ice when you look east (since the game doesnt render anything outside the zone). I attached two pics showing the area.

And heres an easy guide to help anyone to get there ^^

Heres my Build... ftw I died once and used a -20hp focii for 13health (sup heal helm)

With SpellBreaker up and Rush recharging everytime they keep attacking you, you'll get up n outta those nasty imps fast

Well once spellbreaker is fading out you use balance stance so that snagin water trident doesnt bother you.
now down that path I marked on the lil nav map... and then turn and find this hill slope and go up up up! (clicking and auto run are fine)

with this last picture we can see ice dome from here! (you can go father north but I couldnt see the gates)

ty for the .1%! 96.8% and counting...

Leighwyn, you've missed some spots.

1)In the extreme north-west corner of Talmark Wilderness.
2)In Stingray Strand, see the odd-shaped green bit halfway between Sanctum Cay and Fishermans? You can get more of it revealed.
3)It looks like you've missed a bit in the far east of Riverside. Walk onto the jetty jutting out of the sandy bit.
4)Go out the exit from Copperhammer to the Frozen Forest and head west immediately.

Thanks again.

I suggest going to check Nolani Academy again. From what i can tell, this is the complete Nolani.

From what i can see i have every single square inch of that map in the OP revealed, and obviously a few bits more, yet i'm still 1.1% off!

Leighwyn · May 05, 2006, 06:26 PM // 18:26

Thanks buzzer & Evilsod, I'll get those fixed up soon as I can! I love getting closer to the completel reveal

Didn't realize (though I had presumed) I was missing so much of Nolani, thanks again.

Evilsod · May 05, 2006, 06:32 PM // 18:32

Well i guess i was wrong. I found a few areas i missed. the very end of Surmia i missed a tiny bit at the end of the lake

along with a few other areas.

Upto 99.5% now and i've gone over the OP's map VERY closely and there isn't a single frigging bit left to get. I even found a few more areas that aren't on the OP map and STILL i'm not close enough. I have the old arenas too!

Whats annoying me most is theres so frigging much left off on that map yet he has 100%! Just go look at Hells Precipice and Abaddons Mouth. Not even close to completion. Theres about 0.1% behind the last group of Portal Wraths he doesn't have and an area south east of the bonus area not uncovered too. So how the hell am i not at 100%!

personally i think it is bugged. a guildie is in the same situation as you his map is more complete than 100% people's yet he is stuck on 98.8%

Leighwyn · May 05, 2006, 08:22 PM // 20:22

Updated Nolani, Talmark, Stingray, Sanctum (via Riverside), Hell's/Abaddon, Frozen Forest, and a spot I noticed on the Wilds.

I wouldn't have described my Hell's and Abaddons as "not even close to completion"

But hey, now they are both done.

Evilsod · May 05, 2006, 10:49 PM // 22:49

Ok well heres my maps for Crystal Desert, Fire Islands and Shiverpeaks.

I apologise for the sheer awfulness of the copy/pasting

Um, that, is the Nolani Academy mission area... not Surmia.

I seem to have a problem with those 2 missions.... thats the 3rd time in 24hours i've got them mixed up

Pi_Numurian · May 06, 2006, 12:08 AM // 00:08

Ive foound it hard to achieve

Leighwyn · May 06, 2006, 12:10 AM // 00:10

Ok Evilsod, I did notice a few things. Also, it might be easier at your stage of mapping to post the zoomed-out view...sometimes comparing those rapidly back and forth lets you clearly see a corner or edge piece that's missing.

From looking at the full-res that you posted, here's a list of things to check:

1) The Ice Tooth Cave area, northern edge. Appears to be somewhat cloudier than what I've got.

2) Talus Chute north edge I THINK is foggier on yours than mine in places, but it might be an artifact of your collaged image. Still worth looking at closely in-game.

3) Far NE corner of Whitman's Folly seems to have a bit of ghosting in the blacker areas.

4) Far Easter edge (roughly middle of the zone) of the Marhans Grotto explorable area. Part of the "coastline" is what caught my eye

5) My Frozen Forest northern edge looks more solid than yours, but again it could be an image artifact. I'd check it on your map to be sure.

6) In Tasca's Demise, I notice a dot in the far north-middle.

7) In Mineral Springs, roughly middle of the northern edge there is this icy lake area thing (aqua in color on the map). I see more revealed on mine to the north of that than on yours.

8) Check your Iron Mines East and West edges. They both are missing parts at roughly the same horizontal position, around where the first icy lake is

9) Lastly, i hate to say it but....you need to do Thunderhead again lol. The black area on the north-western part of the map is missing some.

That's all I could glean from what you posted, but please give an update on your percentage after you hit all those

Evilsod · May 06, 2006, 02:52 AM // 02:52

Hehehe, well i couldn't find anything in Tascas Demise. And when i read this post i was just running around the end of THK too

Although everyone was just about to die.

The rest of them i found, Upto 99.9% now. Thanks

Evilsod · May 06, 2006, 03:00 AM // 03:00

As for THK i have this:

The red arrow is the bit i uncovered on the last trip.

Is the blue circle revealed on your map or will i have to do it again?

0siris · May 06, 2006, 03:47 AM // 03:47

Awesome job Leighwyn, I'll definetly be using this as a reference when I go out to get my grandmaster cartographer title

Thanks!

Sadly, yes...the blue circle is revealed heh. Another reason to love THK.

And about Tasca's, I attached what I thought was different, though it may just have been cloud cover or a shadow or something on the pic you posted. It's the "Face" feature that I've pointed to.

Buzzer · May 06, 2006, 09:24 AM // 09:24

Leighwyn, how did you uncover the fog in the south-west corner of Dunes?

Oh well, i've henched it about 8 times in the 2 weeks now. Does get slightly annoying though when your not paying attention to Jalis in the fort and he dies.... while standing in the middle of 3 heretics and a herder that you didn't even agro!

I think i have got that part of Tasca's. Was probably just the cloud cover, i didn't notice anything reveal when i headed into Mineral.

they should REALLY fix him from rushing to that throne so quickly, he use to never do that, only untill recently(two~three months).

also give us that door glitch back

Evilsod · May 06, 2006, 02:00 PM // 14:00

I never really understood the use of that door glitch. People did it... killed the groups at the side and the back. Then went back in to do the cut scene.
The thing is weren't those groups part of the bonus.... the ones at the back never seem to move at all (i had a look after i did the bonus) but the ones at the sides we're gone.

Also i've done the mission yet again and revealed that small area that was cloudy.... and i'm still at 99.9%
