Talk:Crystal Overlook

This place is so awesome to explore. There's also way more bosses. I saw plage signet, scribe's insight, and a 'sin boss whose elite I didn't see. P A R A S I T I C

Portal
Is it possible to use the portal to Tyria if you have Prophicies? --Kabraxis 16:16, 15 January 2007 (CST)


 * That is implied in the requirement that you have to have been to the The Arid Sea before you can use the portal in Crystal Overlook. -- James Sumners 13:53, 16 January 2007 (CST)


 * So what's the point of this portal? I just got to the portal thinking "Great I can just go straight to the crystal desert!" Nope.


 * It's to remind people Elona is not a seperate continent but a subcontinent that attaches to Tyria around the crystal desert (Like how Africa connects to Asia). Physically Elona and Tyria are connected and crystal overlook and arid sea are the two nearest points of reference between each playable area.

Map triangulation
On the page of the Crytal Outlook there is a claim that the Elona and Tyria Map are too close together and thus overlap. This is incorrect. The height of the statue as seen from the Crystal Overlook is too small to be so close as the statue is very tall in the Arid Sea. Furthermore, when placing the respective maps of Elona and Tyria together in a graphical editing program as the author suggests, the coustline of the Elona Map extends into the dessert and cannot match up with the Tyria Map. The actual location of the Elona map is much farther south and thus both can't be as close as is suggested. --Faab 20:30, 30-januari 2007 (CET)


 * Why not post an image showing the two continents joined as they should be? -- James Sumners 14:53, 30 January 2007 (CST)


 * I have not made a composition as it should be, but rather a composition of the proposed connection. The real connection would place the continent of Elona much further south so that the coastline and position of the statue can correspond. it has become quite a wide image to get all the needed locations on it. -- Faab 30 Januari 2007 23:15 CET.


 * There's an even simpler reason it can't be the same statue. The statue in the Arid Sea falls over when you approach it. -- not logged in 8:58, 20-Feb 2007
 * i agree with the previous poster, as you probably all know there are fallen statues in more or less all areas of the crystal desert, so why not one in an area further south? --Konzetsu 23:50, 4 April 2007 (CDT) --Besides, i did the triangulation myself and the area the statue would land in is further north than in the posted triangulation, however, still not far enough to make the coastlines match. /doh sorry Faab, not awake yet...--00:07, 5 April 2007 (CDT)

I swaer to god I've seen this area in Tyria. -- SigmA 13:43, 14 February 2007 (CST)
