Conan Exiles Discovery Locations: I See You, Map Completionists - Conan Fanatics (2024)

Conan Exiles Discovery Locations are places that pop up on your screen and mark your map whenever you enter it for the first time. These Discovery Locations can help you complete the Explore the Entire Exiled Lands – Journey Step.

To do this, you need the locations for the caves, dungeons, ruins, vistas, and obelisks. For obelisks, I recommend Eradicati0n’s guide for obelisk locations. It can help you teleport all over the map, making getting the other Discovery locations much easier.

But getting the journey step isn’t the only reason to complete the map. One of my most memorable moments when I played Guild Wars 2 was when I completed my first map. That inspired me to aim to do the same in every game I play, including Conan Exiles.

Overview of Discovery Locations in Conan Exiles

• Capitals – 9 locations – large cities with much to do.
• Camps – 83 locations – small outposts owned by the factions.
• Caves – 20 locations – areas with treasure, unique bosses, and more.
• Dungeons – 11 locations – loot and a big boss at the end.
• Ruins – 69 locations – old places with manmade structures but rarely anything notable.
• Vistas – 78 locations – landmarks, good for gathering materials and screenshots.

Capitals

Capitals in Conan Exiles are a lot like Capitals in real life. They are more than landmarks; they are cities that hold a lot of history, life, and secrets. There aren’t many of them compared to other types of establishments, but they make up for that with quality.

Forgotten City of Xel-Ha

• Biome – Jungle
• Faction – Lemurian
• Danger Level – 3/5
• Dungeon Inside – yes

The Forgotten City of Xel-Ha is an important and large jungle city once inhabited by the Lemurians after their city was sunk. It is to the far east and contains multiple dungeons and even more bosses. Here, you’ll find the Dagon worshippers and multiple Dagon establishments.

Mounds of the Dead

• Biome – Tundra
• Faction – Forgotten Tribe
• Danger Level – 4/5
• Dungeon Inside – No

The Mounds of the Dead is an amazing place to farm thralls, loot, and grab a few unique items. Thorgar the Blacksmith can teach you the Pride of Aesir armor and if you kill the T4 thralls, you can get some great tools/weapons.

New Asagarth

• Biome – Highlands
• Faction – Heirs of the North
• Danger Level – 4/5
• Dungeon Inside – No

New Asagarth is a densely populated but relatively small city. It is the best place in the game to get Steel because every NPC will drop Steel Bars, and there are a lot of enemies here. There’s also a World Boss, though rare, that will drop a Frost Giant follower.

Sepermeru, City of the Relic Hunters

• Biome – Savanna
• Faction – Relic Hunters
• Danger Level – 1/5
• Dungeon Inside – yes

Sepermeru, City of the Relic Hunters, is the safest place in the Exiled Lands. Not only are the NPCs friendly, but they’ll fight anything that makes its way into the city. There are merchants, important quest NPCs, and the entrance to multiple dungeons (if you count the outskirts.)

The Black Galleon

• Biome – Desert
• Faction – Black Hand
• Danger Level – 4/5
• Dungeon Inside – no

The Black Galleon is a stone pirate ship full of Black Hands. You can learn emotes, buy from merchants, and open Legendary Chests inside. It’s also a good place to farm thralls (to kill, not to enthrall.)

The Den

• Biome – Desert
• Faction – Dogs of the Desert
• Danger Level – 3/5
• Dungeon Inside – no

The Den is a wonderful place to stop because merchants here sell you Rocknoses and Camels. This is also where you can learn the infamous Belly Dance. There are plenty of enemies to fight, but it’s not as congested as other cities.

The Summoning Place

• Biome – Desert
• Faction – Dafari
• Danger Level – 2/5
• Dungeon Inside – no

There’s plenty to loot and learn at The Summoning Place. The Dafari Cannibals are one of the weakest factions too, so taking them down a few at a time shouldn’t be a problem. Don’t forget to look for the Witch Doctor because he drops a gas mask.

The Temple of Frost

• Biome – Snow
• Faction – Frost Giants
• Danger Level – 4/5
• Dungeon Inside – no

The Temple of Frost is almost a dungeon, but it’s not. It is a capital with a forge inside that can make unique items via the stele you learn in the temple and a lot of Black Ice to farm. The Frost Giants inside are tanky, so come prepared to use stamina wisely.

The Unnamed City (location)

• Biome – The Unnamed City
• Faction – Giant-Kings
• Danger Level – 5/5
• Dungeon Inside – no

The Unnamed City plays like a messy dungeon. There are seven main bosses, three others, and many more minibosses. All give unique items. There are also key locations inside, including the Archives which teach you the Map-room.

Dungeons

Dungeons are a gamer’s best friend. We’re familiar with the term, which insinuates plenty of dangers and loot if you’re brave enough to enter. I believe there’s an appropriate number of dungeons in Conan Exiles.

Palace of The Witch Queen

• Main Boss – The Witch Queen
• Biome – Jungle
• Recommended Level – 40
• Top Rewards – Mask of the Witch Queen key item, Key to Razma’s Quarters

The Palace of the Witch Queen is a short Jungle dungeon that ends with the Witch Queen boss. Huge story spoilers can be found here and directly after. When you leave, head to Sepermeru to use the key.

The Barrow King

• Main Boss – The King Beneath
• Biome – Tundra
• Recommended Level – 30
• Top Rewards – Diadem of the Giant-kings

The Barrow King is a small tomb with the King Beneath inside. He’s a simple boss with a keystone item. To open the tomb, you must have at least one Demon Blood in your inventory.

The Black Keep

• Main Boss – Kinscourge
• Biome -Snow
• Recommended Level – 50
• Top Rewards – Tears of the Two Races and Heart of the Kinscourge

This is where you learn the Pride of the Silent Legion and Kinscourge Weapons. At the end, you have to fight the Kinscourge, who drops a key item and isn’t tough if you’re at least level 50.

The Dregs

• Main Boss – Abysmal Remnant
• Biome – River
• Recommended Level – 35
• Top Rewards – Staff of the Triumvirate

This sewer dungeon is near the Unnamed City but is much less difficult. At the end, the boss is a sewer snake. Behind him, you can learn many recipes for armor, weapons, and more.

Midnight Grove

• Main Boss – Brother of the Blood
• Biome – Unique
• Recommended Level – 45
• Top Rewards – Flesh of Remembrance

The enter Midnight Grove, you have to drink the Potion of Midnight, which can be purchased from the Child of Jhebbal Sag. This dreamlike dungeon has four big bosses, though only the last has a unique drop.

The Passage

• Main Boss – Sand Reaper Hive Queen
• Biome – Jungle/Snow
• Recommended Level – 40
• Top Rewards – Broken Scourgestone Piece, Sand Reaper Toxic Gland

The Passage takes you from the Jungle to the Snow biome and has many spiders in between. Inside the dungeon, there is a spider queen who deals poison damage, so antidotes are recommended.

The Scorpion Den

• Main Boss – Ancient Scorpion Queen
• Biome – Desert
• Recommended Level – 50
• Top Rewards – Scorpion Egg-sac (Pet), Scorpion Queen Venom Gland

The Scorpion Den is also the Silver Mine. It has unique drops, all scorpion related, and a ton of resources to farm. At the end of the dungeon, the Ancient Scorpion Queen will meet you with high HP and poison.

The Sunken City

• Main Boss – The Ritual Keeper
• Biome – Jungle
• Recommended Level – 40
• Top Rewards – Dagon and Lemurian gear (Daggers of Dagon is my fave)

This may be my favorite dungeon because of how unique it is. It can only be entered by interacting with a boat at Dagon’s Embrace. Once inside, you’re taken to a path to Atlantis.

Warmaker’s Sanctuary

• Main Boss – The Arena Champion
• Biome – Savanna
• Recommended Level – 60
• Top Rewards – Armor Scraps, Destroyer/Carnage

The Warmaker’s Sanctuary is the hardest dungeon in the game. There are two bosses, but the last is much harder, requiring a couple of max-level top-tier thralls or a group of friends to take her on. But both bosses drop materials to make the best armor in the game.

The Well of Skelos

• Main Boss – The Degenerate
• Biome – Volcano
• Recommended Level – 60
• Top Rewards – The Shining Trapezohedron

The Well of Skelos is supposed to be the last dungeon in the game, though it’s easier than the Warmaker’s Sanctuary. The enemies aren’t tough but there’s enough going on that being over-leveled is a good idea. To enter, you must jump down into the center of the volcano.

Wine Cellar

• Main Boss – Thag
• Biome – Savanna
• Recommended Level – 55
• Top Rewards – Khari Steel

The Wine Cellar is a secret dungeon behind the tavern at Sepermeru. It has a ton of Khari Steel to farm and recipes to use it. There are also weapon drops that are some of the best in the game.

Ruins

Ruins don’t usually have much to do, but they do have plenty to see. Sometimes they are located near dungeons, caves, and capitals – or even in them. But the ruins alone rarely have anything notable.
