im currently at 99.2% and still cant find the last 0.8%

i made some u-map pictures of several areas of elona (not the whole map)
and a zoomed out screenshot:

please only look at the gw750-757 photos the others are older versions.
i think you should download them in original quality (1280x1024)

here links to the orginal photos:

as i said the umap only show a part of the whole map...

I will give 5k to anyone who can find 0.3% or more.

thanks snurden

Seems there aught to be an easier way.

Stitching this images is easy. I took about 32 shots of zoomed out U-map.
After taking all screens you need to prepare them for stitching - remove the frame.
Then I used Photoshop 7. It has automated function for photomerging.
File -> Automate -> Photomerge
Then you specify the images (don't click 'automate stitching'), after they are loaded, you start merging them. It's simply dragging them into place. If you made them properly (with enough ovelap) photoshop will detect same spots and help you in whole process.

Wohoooo, GM cartographer title number 2

Now its time for finally doing the Tyria map.

I found Elona to be a bit easier than Cantha, mainly because the map is not so dark and colorless. I solely used the tabbing method, which works fine for me.

I cannot agree with people saying that wall-hugging is not needed in Elona. Its true that the size of patches uncovered seems a bit bigger but there are many spots where you have to be really close to the edge to get them.

Good luck to everyone working on this title and thanks a bunch again to those who posted their complete maps and those terrific people who help others in this thread!

High-res U-map JPGs:
Istan (1.7MB)
Mainland (6.7MB)

Thanks!

Here's my analysis of your map. I'd be curious to know whether or not this gets it all for you.

Enjoy!

NVM, found it

After much toiling, palm sweating, keyboard bashing, cola and ciggarettes I finally got it. And I couldn't have done it without the zoomed out maps in this thread. I owe you guys, big time

*glees*

Heya,

I'm at 95.5%, and I can't find anything obvious, but maybe you guys find something.

I really want 100%, as it will be my 3rd and final until Chapter 4 comes out

Thank you to Livingston for all your comprehensive guides.

Thanks to SilentVex and the others who have contributed their 100% maps for reference.

And thank you to everyone who has posted their helpful hints and discoveries and provided inspiration.

Hey guys.

I'm currently stuck at 98.4%

I know i'm missing a lot... oh god i hope i wasn't too sloppy in the desolation.

thanks in advance guys.

merraton · Dec 18, 2006, 05:29 PM // 17:29

I'm stuck at this bloody 99.5% and can't get through. I found those 6 spots (posted images before, somewhere around page 35), been to each one n-times and still didn't manage to uncover anything. During my attempts ~5 people got the Grand Master :/ but I can't. I'm starting to believe it's luck based title

JC68 · Dec 18, 2006, 09:33 PM // 21:33

hi guys

i am also trying to get CGMC title, so far i got 99,8% just by wall huging but now i can´t find remaining 0,2%. I compared some maps but wasn´t able to find missing spots. Well i am gonna to finish game in next few days and hopefully will get 0,1% in chantry + 0,1% during last cinematic

merraton · Dec 19, 2006, 12:54 AM // 00:54

Another 0.1% behind me. It gives 99.6% and still few places and I have absolutely no idea how to uncover them. For example I spend ~1 hour trying to uncover number 6. from my previous post

fenix · Dec 19, 2006, 01:07 AM // 01:07

I'm stuck at 98.9%, here's my map (1024x768), cheers

Hey guys, I've gone from 86 to 98.1% these two days. I used the photoshop method and found some other places, but now it starts messing up! I can't see any more spots that I could've missed, and I hope you guys can help.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Unfogged a bit in Forum Highlands. And a small bit in Vehtendi Valley. I really don't know where to go now, though.

EDIT2: Never mind, I got the photoshop trick working again!
