The game agrees.
65 areas discovered out of 65.
The achievement system has apparently decided that mathematics is merely a suggestion.
Players are continuing to report that the No Island Unturned challenge remains incomplete even when their Skovos exploration counter shows 65/65, preventing some of them from earning the associated achievement and Amazonian Charge mount.
The problem is particularly frustrating because Blizzard already fixed the original version of the Skovos exploration bug.
Unfortunately, that fix appears to have created a second problem for players who explored everything too early.
Skovos Originally Asked Players to Find 67 Areas
When Lord of Hatred opened Skovos earlier this year, completionists quickly ran into something strange.
The region's exploration tracker expected players to discover 67 locations.
Players searched beaches.
They searched temples.
They searched suspicious bits of coastline.
They wondered whether the Cow Level was somehow involved.
Eventually it became clear that players weren't simply overlooking two extremely well-hidden rocks.
The available map contained only 65 areas that could actually be discovered.
Blizzard subsequently changed the requirement, and the Skovos exploration counter now correctly displays 65/65 rather than 65/67.
Problem solved.
Mostly.
Players Who Already Had 65/67 Can Still Be Stuck
The particularly unlucky group appears to be players who completely explored Skovos before the requirement was corrected.
Those characters previously showed 65/67.
After the update, they now correctly show 65/65.
But for some players, No Island Unturned still remains listed as incomplete or even “Not Started”.
The likely problem is relatively straightforward.
The game appears to award the challenge when a new Skovos area is discovered.
If you had already discovered all 65 locations before Blizzard changed the requirement, there is nothing left for that character to discover.
The counter knows you have finished.
The achievement apparently never receives the memo.
And Season 15 Hasn't Fixed It
This would be easier to dismiss as an old expansion-launch bug if players weren't still reporting it now.
They are.
One of the longest-running bug threads was bumped again on August 17, with a player saying that the problem remains in Season 15 despite having 65/65 exploration on both Softcore and Hardcore.
Another current report describes exactly the same situation: 65/65 areas discovered, achievement status “Not Started.”
A separate PlayStation player reports being stuck at 99% overall achievement completion because No Island Unturned refuses to unlock.
There are reports going all the way back to May.
At this point, the island has been turned over quite thoroughly.
The achievement has not.
There Is a Workaround — Unless You Were Too Thorough
Some players have managed to trigger the achievement by exploring Skovos again on the opposite game mode.
If you originally completed the map on Softcore, for example, starting the campaign on Hardcore and discovering all 65 locations there can reportedly cause No Island Unturned to unlock.
The same principle can work in reverse.
That is inconvenient.
But at least it is something.
The real problem affects players who already fully explored Skovos on both Softcore and Hardcore before the requirement was corrected.
They have no untouched realm left to use as a trigger.
Players have also reported that creating another character on a realm where exploration is already shared does not solve the problem.
For that group, the current solution appears to be:
wait for Blizzard.
Every completionist's favourite endgame activity.
Make Sure You Actually Have 65/65 First
There is an important distinction between this bug and simply being stuck at 64/65.
If your map still says 64/65, you probably are missing an area.
Players continue to find tiny pieces of Skovos that are remarkably easy to overlook, including a small pocket near the Dark Refuge area in Lycander.
Finding the final legitimate location can still trigger the achievement normally for players who did not previously complete the old 65/67 requirement.
The bug discussed here specifically affects people whose map already says:
65/65.
If that is you and No Island Unturned still says incomplete, running around Skovos staring suspiciously at every beach probably isn't going to help.
The Amazonian Charge Mount Can Be Caught in the Problem Too
No Island Unturned is more than another checkbox for completionists.
Players affected by the issue have also reported being unable to receive the Amazonian Charge mount reward tied to their Skovos exploration progress.
That makes the missing retroactive completion considerably more annoying than an incorrectly displayed percentage.
Players did the exploration.
The map confirms that they did the exploration.
The game simply needs to recognise that 65 out of 65 is generally considered complete.
This Looks Like It Needs a Retroactive Fix
That is what affected players are now asking Blizzard to implement.
Not another change to the number of locations.
Not another hidden area.
Not another journey around Skovos on a third character.
A retroactive check that looks at characters or realms with 65/65 exploration and awards No Island Unturned accordingly.
Until that happens, some of Diablo 4's most dedicated explorers are stuck in the unusual position of having explored 100% of an island while receiving 0% of the achievement for doing it.
Mephisto may be the Lord of Hatred.
But nothing generates hatred quite like staring at 65/65 next to an unfinished achievement.
