The Crystal Overlook is likely so-named due to its proximity to the Crystal Desert wherein lies the objective of the ancient quest for Ascension by Elonian pilgrims. Much of how the Ascension pilgrimage turned out is shown by the quests in the Desolation and a few quests and missions in Guild Wars Prophecies.

[edit] Getting there
This explorable area is the only in Elona that is not connected to any outpost or town. To reach here, the party must travel through one of the adjoining explorable areas. This area is entirely optional, since only a single secondary quest takes place here, and that in itself requires access to Guild Wars Prophecies on the same account.

- The Alkali Pan (southeast)
- The Arid Sea (northwest, by talking to a Forgotten Guardian; requires Guild Wars Prophecies)
- The Ruptured Heart (northeast)

[edit] Notes
- There is a Forgotten Guardian in the northwest corner of the map that allows travel to the Arid Sea (a region in the Crystal Desert of Prophecies). However, your account must have access to the Prophecies campaign and your current character must have already visited the Amnoon Oasis. With proper triangulation and examination using the statue as a reference point, it can be shown that the maps do not line up properly, with sections of the Crystal Desert in Tyria overlapping sections in the other parts of the Desolation.
- The giant female warrior statue seen in the Arid Sea is visible from the Forgotten Guardian's location.
- There is what appears to be the remnants of a colony of Ascension pilgrims at the center of the north section of the map, as well as what appears to be an ancient temple at the very center of the map, inside the Sulfurous Haze area. Zehtuka's Great Horn may be found there.
- Vanquisher runs of this area in hard mode without active quests yielded about 200 enemies on average.
- Only the small central area can be cleared while inside a Junundu.
- Complete exploration of this area will yield about 2.8% to the Elonian Cartographer title track.
