    Argh! Discovered all named locations in Oasis. To get to Oasis/ DLC you have to use the fast travel.

    When I say MISSABLE* I mean that you can come back later after the story or in between to get the area uncovered it doesn't mean missable achievement.

    Xenolith666Mine 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.

    KanchanaburiThanks 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.

    IgneousBadgerAs 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.

    DoberkiinTop guide thank you. I had an issue like many others where I had been everywhere (multiple times) but nothing. I followed what New Legend PL put above & BINGO! Legend thanks for the comment

    ETERNAL INFERNOI 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?

    MIKE1989TWIt 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.
