I had trouble with a transferred character too, I only had part of the map uncovered on that one and proceeded to playthrough the story and some of the side missions to uncover the rest. Last locations I needed where Hyperious and Gee arenas.

I also had similar issues with Hammerlocks DLC, I'll do a quick run to cover the areas already uncovered but gut tells me it'll be a waste of time cry

Update: I missed an area !!!!!! Behind where you fight the Leviathan, so this is possible to get with an imported character provided you haven't uncovered all the areas.

So is this 100% confirmed unobtainable with transferred characters or is it just a matter of going through each area again but much harder due to the map already being revealed?

^ I should clarify: a transferred character that already had the whole map uncovered.

Same here, and I just spent 2 hours going over ever nook and cranny, checking off every area i'd already been to. I think this is unobtainable unless on a new character.

went over every area with my primary, then followed a dummy character as it uncovered every area, and then even ended up using another character that never even touched the DLC to go through every corner of all the maps and still nothing

@F Tank - Maybe you are missing something in Wurmwater double check that. Just travel to each area look at your map and look at the blue dark areas. I'm sure there is one. The secret stash has a tiny shadow on the map if you don't uncover it.

ONE MORE Area that I found as the last!!!
This area isn't posted here and can be missable if you play co-op party like I did.
Go to Wurmwater, then go south (this is Leviathan Lair on the map). You have to be swallow by the Leviathan.
Kill 1st semi (Roscoe) boss and go north.
This is small area but you have to find it to get an achievement.

Enjoy.

Hey guys I just went through every area with a new char, using my wife's lvl50 Sally who's done everything. Ticked off every area except the treasure room in Leviathan's Lair - found no way over (the old invisible corpse trick didn't work). Any thoughts on a simple way to get that area cleared?

Started a new play through with an imported character, completed all side missions and main missions and don't have any dark spots on the map when I look at then through the travel machines. Any hotspots I should re-check? I dont all the 'missable spots' iirc.

Doesn't make any sense though. All the other discover location achievements unlock with a new play through imported character

i imported my lvl72 char to the xbox one, i had 100% completion on the xbox 360
i unlocked all discovery and sidemission achievements inmediately, EXCEPT hammerlocks and piratebooty ones.
was there a repeatable mission like some sort of arena in pirate booty and hammerlock, to try and trigger the achievement unlock?

I can confirm this works with an imported character that doesn't have all the locations discovered yet, the achievement popped for me as soon as I found the last location. Great guide! +1

Mine seems to not be unlocking.. i played a level 72 imported toon on normal.. all the areas were already uncovered for me.. I'd done it on higher difficulties.. I checked all the normal places at the end, maroonies hideout, the 2 arena's with boss fights.. I probably spent 2 hours going back through everything.. might have to do it on another toon now and go through the whole thing again. Didn't have any issues blowing through hammerlocks dlc.. **Edit** Ran through it on another toon that had areas to actually discover.. it finally unlocked after entering the Hyperius arena.. This is an excellent, comprehensive guide.

Thanks for this! I think it's important to note that you should attempt to complete all side missions before worrying about this, since they take you into all the areas.

As most players have found, you cannot import a character that has already explored 100% and get this achievement. So if you got this on Xbox360, you can't use the same character to unlock this. Frustratingly, I found that even with a new Mechromancer, started on xbox one, that this didn't unlock, either. Yes, i'm sure I got all the missable spots. So I started the DLC yet again, with a Gunzerker that hadn't even entered Oasis, explored all areas, and got it as soon as I entered Hyperius' Arena. Not sure why the difference, but possibly because with Mechro I explored some of the map in Normal and some in TVHM. With Gunzerker I did 100% in Normal mode and it popped as expected. So glad to be done.

I was able to defeat The Leviathan's Lair but didn't make it to the top of the chamber of the lost treasure because someone fast traveled before I made it to the top. Now I can go back in to fight Leviathan but after beating him the door won't open to get into the chamber of the lost treasure any way around this?

It is a good guide, so a 👍 from me, but I’ve spent hours revisiting areas and simply cannot get it to unlock.. all named locations have been visited and cross referenced with the guide, I’ve also just wandered aimlessly about.. not sure what I can do now.

What's annoying is if you transferred your character over from 360 and you've done all this stuff, the map also transfers over so you have no dark spots to find. In other words, you've already discovered all the areas so re-discovering them is troublesome. And if you've done all the sidequests chances are that you've already gone over every place except the hidden ones.

By "missable" you mean that you don't naturally go through it, right? We can still go back later and collect them, or not?

By Sashamorning on 05 Apr 2015 11:52
@Sashamorning - Yes you can come back to it. It just means you can by pass it and have to come back for it later if you didn't discover the area the first time lol :}

SpannerPoint2XB, curious if you ever found a solution. Had the same problem with my co-op partner. So far, the quickest way I've found back in is to grab a high-level character on my account so I can blow through the whole DLC storyline fast and bring his char in with me for the Leviathan area once I get there. Less than ideal, but thankfully I had another high-level character to use.

For Ps Vita, there is clearly a glitch here, in The Rustyards location, there is almost nothing to open, the entire map seems to be darkened, I am waiting for fixes, if anyone knows how to solve my problem, write, I will be grateful

You can miss the trophy! If in the very last mission, when you are eaten by a worm, you do not open the location where there will be a battle with Roko, you will be able to return there only after replaying with someone.
