Guild Wars 2

Okay, the title is a liar, but it describes the issue well: I am almost at 100% world exploration, which is satisfying, but I also want to get the five titles for having discovered each area in the world. They’re under the “Explorer” tab and split up between regions (Kryta, Maguuma, Orr, Ascalon, Shiverpeaks).

The annoying part is that I still have a couple of areas missing, and I don’t know where they may be. Nothing’s guiding me anymore, because I already have all points of interests, waypoints, renown hearts and skill points in those particular areas. This leads me to conclude that these missing areas are of the more “obscure” type; jumping puzzles, guild puzzles, underwater areas that don’t have any POIs in them, etc.

So, I would like to ask: if you can remember an area that was pretty annoying to find (because it does not have any landmarks in it), please post it here. Meanwhile, I’ll try to make a list of such areas so that this post may be used by other explorers in the future.

The areas I still need:
- Orr: 1 area missing
- Maguuma: 3 areas
- Shiverpeaks: 5 areas

Thanks in advance!

Orr:
After getting 100% mapcompletion. I also had 100% region completion. I didn’t enter any jumping puzzle area but I might have been lucky with the personal story’s.

Shiverpeaks: Griffonhook run in lornar’s pass, forsaken halls in dredgehaunt clifs.

Maguuma: the nightmare jumpingpuzzle near morgan’s spiral (dont remember the name)

Many people use this wiki page to help them check for missing explorer areas. You don’t have to visit any specific area on your map to check it, just open up your world map where ever you are and zoom in until you can see the white-named areas. Then use the relevant check list on this page.

Usually the list starts with the white-named area in the top left of the map and works it’s way across to the right and then down to the bottom of the map.

For Magumma try Aurora’s Remains in Brisbane Wilds which is often over looked as it contains no points needed for map completion. Proxemics Lab is a new area added for guild puzzles in Brisbane, it has a waypoint but if you haven’t 100% explored this area yet you might need that. The area at the end of the Morgan’s Spiral jumping puzzle in Caledon Forest is called Dreamdark Enclave, you aren’t required to do the Dark Reverie JP to get this area, just go to the beginning of it.

In Shiverpeaks you might want to check for Tail of the Sepent and Lair of the Coil in Timberline Falls, Griffonhook Run in Lornar’s, Foresaken Halls in Dredgehaunt (this is a mini dungeon which requires a chain of events to open it – you only need to enter the door to the dungeon to discover the area) and Tribulation Caverns, also in Dredgehaunt.

Not sure of commonly missed areas in Orr, perhaps Zho’qafa Catacombs in Straits of Devestation, again I don’t think it contains anything for map completion so it can be missed.

Hope some of this helps you get your explorer achievements Happy hunting.

In orr the only things that I have been missing were parts of the sea and the Orr’s spring. I have no idea how I missed it even though I did the story and walked through the halls.

In maguuma I never noticed that there is a level 26 area in Brisban Wildnis at the very west. The rest was fine for me.

In shiverpeak there were a few extremely difficult to find caves. I had to use a tutorial.
