unfound locations

Post » Sun Feb 07, 2010 4:34 am

i have seen a few unfilled in triangles which mean that there is an unfound location. one was near 3 marys cave. I literally went into TCL and cannot for the life of me find what I think i am supposed to. it was near mary's cave that I found that I was able to enter mary's cave and exit it without ever triggering the fast travel spot. I later walked by it and BAM i got it.

wierd.


I have one survivalist cache left to find and am annoyed at not finding it.

you could look stuff up at Fallout.Wikia.com if you really can't find it :)

I don't think they exist. They're glitches.
and that survivalist cache is outside the cave exit behind Graham's throne, on a ledge to the left.

thanks. and when I checked wikia I did not remember the names of the various caves, so I did not realize that I HAD all caves, I needed the red gate hill area.

If you stand by the entrance to 3 Marys and look NW you can see the survivalist triangle as open if you haven't been there. As you move closer to it another triangle father away will "overwrite" it. If you go back and forth it will appear and disappear, You can see another triangle popping up just as the one you are trying to find disappears, tested this out extensively. it happens to the caterpillar mound and a couple other places. Once I found the survivalist on my own, went back to 3 marys and the triangle was solid showing, but still got overwrote by the same triangle on the right side of the compass Somehow the location indicators are overwriting one another on the compass. Just a weird bug.

Some of the locations don't seem to have anything other than a nice view and have very small location triggers, so they're really hard to find.

Currently I can't find the Yao Guai cave,

(Edit) Found it, I was being confused by a marker I'd placed myself. Sometimes I wonder if I'm bright enough to play this game.

Memory is a bit fuzzy but from the bridge nearby, go right without crossing it. I think there was a path to it along the cliff.

Also some locations don't show the empty dots even if you're 2 feets away from discovering it. Red Gate was one for me. I was circling the Survivalist's Rifle for 10 minutes straight. Then I got frustrated, tcl'ed and went into bird's eye view. When I got near the skeleton the discovery message showed up.

Yeah, I've noticed this bug as well. Though I still have a lot of locations to discover but I've seen the "ghost" markers as well.

I've had the same issue. I've gotten a diappearing/reappearing blinky on the island sorta north of the campground. Since it's happened on both playthroughs, my guess is it's always gonna be there. Somebody probably just mistakenly left in a map marker after a location was removed.

-gunny out.

I had trouble with a place near Three Marys, it was called Red Gate and houses some very nice things, the triangle would appear as I moved toward it then suddenly disappear and not return until I was far enough away.

I had a lot of buginess with the minimap thing in this game. I often did not get the empty triangles, and one time I told Waking cloud to wait, and she didn't show up as a friendly on mini map. Took me forever to find her again. I'm playing the PC version btw.

I just wanted to say they aren't bugs, there are locations out there. But some aren't easy to get. Sun Sentinals, The Aerie, and Red Gate require you to find a path up to the top. Neither of these locations showed up on my mini map as an unexplored location. The Aerie and Sun Sentinals doesn't have a lot there except for a good view and some plants to pic. Although the Aerie does have a gun locker.
