Location not on the map?

[Zepondrax]

Are all locations on the map including portals to places and dungeons? The reason I ask is I was int he blood grove (first time player) and there was a weird portal (Cthultonic rift) or something...I wasnt sure what it did or where it went...so I took a chance (I dont like to go off the quest locations) and I ended up in some weird area with black and darkness and I wanted to leave to find the blood grove portal but the portal in this weird place disappeared...so I had to battle every monster in this place, including the boss, and once all the enemies had been defeated the portal re-appeared at the top right back to the blood grove.

I found the rift portal in the end to the blood grove. I prefer to find the location portals so that I dont have to keep repeating long areas over and over. The blood grove is already huge enough and I havent finished it yet...

So are all locations on the map because I dont think so, I opened up the world map and this weird dark place wasnt there.

Some locations are not on the map. Like those rifts you found ;]

Those access chthonic rifts where some quests can take you. They spawn randomly in Blood Grove and later in the Plains of Strife. While one lets you into the area you have to find another one to let you out again and that can spawn randomly so no in the same place every time you go there.

so they wont be on the map?

I didht know about the chthonic rifts so I took a chance, the portal disappeared behind me so I had to clear the large area (the ashen waste) to find the exit portal. Eventually I found it and back to the blood grove.

That makes sense an entrance portal and an exit portal? Can you use the Home Portal in the chthonic rift to get back to town an then back into the blood grove?

I will have to remember this for future? So the Ashen Waste wont be on the map then

Nope, rifts can't be used in those.

No, they don't appear on maps as they spawn randomly. There is a quest from the Rover faction you can get that takes you in there for something, but you have to be Honoured with them to get the quest.

I thought rifts dont work, I remember pressing the L button accidentally for the rift and nothing happened...so I thought I pressed the wrong key that's why the rift didnt open. Ahh so rifts dont work in these specific rifts....good to know....

good to know they dont appear on maps either.

thanks

Also know some chthonic rifts, once inside them, have more than one chthonic rift. Some have one to get out and one to go further in. The ones to get out randomly spawn in different locations inside.

Don't want to spoiler anything but that Chthonic Rift has it's purpose to be there. :)
Alot of stuff like some named mobs, such rifts, chests and more can have multiple possible spawn locations within an area.
Technically these rifts lead to another sort of dimension, thus they are not represented on the world map/local map.
Furthermore this game has a fair share of hidden areas with secret bosses and chests which usually are also not really represented on the maps since it would be too easy to find them if they were.

Sounds good. I wasnt sure where this rift went so took a chance then my portal out disappeared behind me so I had to complete this area before progressing
