Each map location is marked by a circle with one of four colors: white, green, blue, or yellow. White means its a location you haven’t unlocked yet, while green means you have already cleared that map. Blue means you can access that map to try to clear it now, and yellow means you have attempted the map and failed. All of the maps also include various icons that indicate which encounters you can expect on the map.
