A Hundred Names For Sand achivement
So, I am trying to finish this one. Currently I have 78/78 on pandora, but achievement is still missing. I tried to run splinterlands but had no success. Any suggestions, please?

Have you done the Slaughter house on Pandora?

It was the thing I missed on Promethea to get the achievement for discovering all zones

I'm having the same issue. 78/78 on Pandora's locations, but no achievement drop :/

Edit: Huh, I'm also 30/30 on Eridian Slabs and 223/223 galaxy wide locations. Neither of those have dropped either

I've got the same problem with 78/78 named locations on Pandora and besides running them all again, I haven't found a viable solution. I had the same 30/30 Eridian Slab problem, but going back to Tannis' Lab and examining that slab there multiple times (4, I think) caused it to pop.

The really worrisome thing is that, so far, every named location I've visited on Pandora has said "Area Discovered" (implying I haven't visited it before) instead of "Now Entering" (implying I have visited it before). I wonder if this is because I visited all 78 locations in co-op mode and I'm revisiting them in solo mode.

For the Eridian Writings go to Tannis' lab on Sanctuary and spam the slab there over and over until it gives the achievement. You more than likely have used that one already but that was how it worked for me.

Hey! Just when I think I spent too long making sure I wasnt crazy.

I'm having the same issue. Do they have to be solo discovery? Im 78/78 :(

Worked for me.
From researching this, it looks like The Splinterlands map seems to be the culprit quite often (usually Logan's Spar). But, I've been up and down that map several times now and the Achievement hasn't popped. It looks like it just depends on which named location the game decided not to record as visited and not anything specific to The Splinterlands.

I've now revisited all the locations (solo) in Covenant Pass, The Droughts, Ascension Bluff, Devil's Razor, The Splinterlands, Carnivora, and Guts of Carnivora. In every case, the location name has come up saying "Area Discovered" instead of "Now Entering." Also, even though I'm just driving through the areas (not fighting or anything else), I've leveled up from level 54 to level 55. That implies I'm getting XP from discovering the areas. I don't know if it's a coop vs solo thing or maybe something related to a save game corruption problem.

I've now revisited every one of the 78 named locations on Pandora. I watched every one of those 78 location names pop up on the screen saying "Area Discovered." The "Hundred Names for Sand" Achievement did NOT pop. I have no idea what to do.

Just in case anyone needs a list to check off named locations as they revisit them, here's a list based mostly on Powerpyx's work at:

I'm beginning to wonder if the named locations "discovered" status is being reset each time the game restarts. By simply re-visiting all those locations, I leveled up twice (from level 54 to level 56). There's no way that should happen. I wonder if the Achievement only pops if we visit all the locations in one session.

I've done a guide describing what I've found and done for the Achievement (which I still haven't gotten):

this achievement is broken

Any luck with this achiement? I´m also stuck (78/78)

This is broken for me. I revisited all of the locations including the Slaughter Shaft without restarting or going to Sanctuary. I paid close attention to the Splinter Lands Pitt's Stop and Logan's Spar and still no trophy. It is all the little game glitches like this that still aren't fixed that disappoint me.
