Here's what I'd do, if you don't mind 'cheating' a little...
The easiest way to find maps is to look them up online: http://andorstrail.irkalla.cz/0.7.0/map/world1.html Just change 'world1' in the URL to another map name to view it.
Unfortunately that site hasn't been updated in a while, so a lot of newer areas are missing. Also, some places don't have maps, like your home where you start the game.

So next step is to lookup the source code for the game: https://github.com/Zukero/andors-trail/ ... il/res/xml Here's where all the maps are. You can't view them graphically, but they're all here (including 'home.tmx').
So we lookup 'guynmart_wood_3_hole.tmx' and find a bunch of code. If you look through these long enough, you'll eventually work out how they're structured, and then realise that the

Code: Select all

<objectgroup name="Mapevents">
section lists the other maps that link to this one. There's only one way to get to 'guynmart_wood_3_hole', and that's from 'guynmart_wood_3'.

Since we know you've already been to 'guynmart_wood_3' (it wasn't listed as missing), check the '/andors-trail/worldmap' directory on your phone (this is where the game stores the map files you see in-game). Here you can search through the filenames to look for a specific place.
You'll find a 'guynmart_wood_3' map that should show you where to go. And look at that: there's a hole in the ground! Maybe you should explore that ;)
Hope that helps!

BUT, since I haven't finished with Lodar yet (still need to fight that dragon thing), I suspect that it's actually 'shortcut_lodar4' I'm missing (as I'm also missing the other 'shortcut_lodar*' maps, but the script only lists 0-3 of them, but there's a 4th: https://github.com/Zukero/andors-trail/ ... s.xml#L716)

So maybe the script is confusing the missing map names...?
no it is a secret area the one and only secret spot in the game
Thanks for the link. I checked and in my savegame I could not find the following 3 entries:

guynmart_wood_14
blackwater_mountain5a
blackwater_mountain5c

I'm a little surprised to (not) have found 3 entries while in the stats it is saying that I visited 496 places. Any hints?

I don't know what the difference between a normal area and a secret area is.
North of the castle I've been to the little hole on the other site of the rope.
In the one big cave in the north with the Chaos Reapers I think, I have also been to the part "behind the curtain".

I can maybe send you the savegame later. But it is heavily edited because I used it for skill testing purposes.

Nothing, except that "secret" areas are hidden or at least very non-obvious.

Only one hint: You can't get to these maps, they are unused..

Anything more specific please?
I've been to places were you get the message to try to pull a rope which is not working.
There is place were you get the message that you can feel some air moving.
Is this secret place related to something like this? I guess it is to be found in a dungeon from what I read in this thread.

The rope leads to nothing for now.
