I recommend waiting with this achievement until you have completed most of the quests in the game. You will have unlocked most of the landmarks and districts while progressing through the game at a normal pace.

You can check how many locations you have by hitting

, then browse to Challenges -> Exploration -> Bastion Regions.

For the locations you missed in the Academy Ruins here's a video from PowerPyx:

I would so rather have a map than a video.

How about a golden watch? Just google it.

Downvoted for your rude comment. Did it occur to you that this could be the place Google took them? This is very much a place for all kinds of solutions to getting achievements, not snarky remarks.

You are by no means required to provide a map, but have some decorum when you are given feedback on solutions you provide, especially when your solution amounts to just pointing to someone else's work.

Has this glitched for anyone!!??? I unlocked them all but it’s still missing one

Hi Finnan, point taken. :]

Re-reading the comment after all these months makes me agree with your sentiment and the down vote is well deserved. It was a crazy week as I had taken a vacation to play Anthem, was writing solutions while still managing to be among the first to complete the game.

I guess in all that stress the comment didn't stick well with me demanding more work to be done when I had busted my ass to get solutions up that I could verify that worked as soon as possible.

Start a mission in Freeplay mode on difficulty Easy.

For anyone that just likes a simple map instead of a video like I do, see below. The districts are the gold text areas, the hidden places are the arch icons, and the landmarks are the binocular icons. For the landmarks in game, there should be glowing orbs to highlight a document to pick up. For the other locations you can pretty much just fly in and it will count.

Happy hunting!

Most of these you’ll find by playing through the story and contracts, but some you will miss. These are divided up into districts, landmarks, and dungeons. The landmarks require you to find a small bubble to mark that location as explored. Unless you find the bubble, you can explore it a dozen times and it won’t be marked as explored on your challenge. The following are the areas that you need to find:
