Has anyone found all of the Lost cairns yet?

[JiffyPopKids]

I'm curious as to know if anyone has found all the cairns yet. I believe there's about 160(??? can't remember exactaly) and to me, it seems it would take a long time to find all of them.

Also, what are they? I've always assumed they're made by a human, like a speice of cloth underneath a couple stacked rocks as a marker of human life? not sure.

As for what they are there for in game? Just another curiousity to find and explore the maps for... They seem to memorials of such, to honor the (I assume kickstarter?) early backers of the game, a lot of them are unfinished, as I guess the backers get to make something up.

I haven't even explored all the regions yet, let alone search for all the cairns, but I know from a bit of experience that they can be tricky to find, and really require climbing all over the maps. Some also may not be as accessible as you would think, being in hard to reach areas or in areas we may not supposed to be in quite yet...(Broken railroad?)

My favorite so far.

Thank you Hinterland! The last update replaced one of the duplicate 140 cairns with number 117. Found all 165 cairns!

Holy cow... Good job! that's the first time I've ever seen anybody come close to finding them all! That should earn you a special badge. :)

Cairns are exactly that. In BC times, headstones or burial markers were literally stacks of stones. I'm probably wrong but I believe Cairns are the first known headstones.

@Jiffy, I don't know of anyone and like @tyber, I'm not one to go searching. There are some sneaky ones in caves and few atop high places, so finding them all is truly a remarkable feat.

As Gecko states... it's in PV. In a different post I said if you didn't see it first from below, you wouldn't think to climb the rock it's sitting on.

That's amazing, ProsPex - you're definitely the first person I've heard of actually succeeding in finding them all.

Did anyone ever put together a guide with the locations of them all...I mean the coordinates...not just the region. I'm thinking about collecting them as an exercise, but I am certain I don't want to actually have to hunt each one down ProsPex style (I have much respect, but I'm old and might not live long enough to find them all on my own).

Gecko has put the location of each cairn by number on the maps you can find in his Travel Guide.

Aah, #73 is somewhere in PV, beside of #160 its the most difficult to reach cairn!

Sweet! Thanks ProsPex and Gecko
