Sunbreak Great Wirebug Locations
By Briggs
Great Wirebug locations for the Citadel and Jungle, because they're really hard to find for some reason even though the DLC has been out for ages now.

Intro
This guide is to help people who want the Great Wirebug Medal achievement for discovering a lot (actually all) of the Great Wirebug locations in the Jungle and Citadel maps. Maybe you're like me and found all but one, only to find no maps to compare mine to.

I'll point out a few that might be a bit confusing, but not every spot. To compare maps, open your detailed map, then the icon list, and go to the rightmost tab to find Jewel Lillies. The (Undiscovered) option is for Jewel Lillies that you found, but didn't place a Great Wirebug at, but the map will not show you Jewel Lilly spots you haven't been to.
The Citadel

On this map, there are no Jewel Lilly spots underground.

One of the spots I noticed people talking about online is the one located in the southeast corner of Area 3. From Base Camp, follow the flowing river in Area 2 until you see a tunnel on the right side. As you reach the end of the tunnel, you'll see vines on the wall with corridors on either side. Climb up the vines, and keep your camera tracked on the left side of your character. Roughly halfway up the vines, you'll see an opening in the wall. Ignore the red door and head to the end of the room, where you'll find a tunnel. You'll find the Jewel Lilly spot at the end of this tunnel.

If you'd like video help, here's a YouTube video by HAN 7 detailing the steps to reach it.
The Jungle
Above Ground


Below Ground

There's only one Jewel Lilly spot underground, in the far north of the map. It's pretty easy to find, just jump into the giant hole in that spot.

The one location that might be difficult to find is the one in the northwest corner of the map that seems to come and go from nowhere. Going to the island's edge, you'll see a much smaller island off in the water that you just can't seem to reach. To get there, you need to head to Area 1 and use the Great Wirebugs that are just north of the number 1 on the map. If you're worried about getting stuck there because you only have 1 Great Wirebug, don't be. The island already has a Great Wirebug placed there, so you won't get stuck.

You need Barrel Bombs to access this spot, as it's blocked by a pile of rocks that's sitting atop the hill. Blow the hole, get in, and place the Great Wirebug. This Great Wirebug is linked to two floating ones, so get ready for your quicktime events in the air, otherwise you won't go to the island. Do everything right, and you'll be sent to the small island.

If you need video guidance, here's another useful video by HAN 7 on how to reach it.
Conclusion
Thanks for checking this out, I hope it helps. All comments and concerns are welcome. Find an issue? Lemme know.

If there are any other spots you feel are worth explaining, I don't mind adding them. However, I won't be making a guide for the base game, as there's tons of information and maps to compare for those areas.

Also, they'll probably never see this but big thanks to HAN 7 for being the only online resource I could find for Sunbreak map comparisons, despite the two videos that I linked here not even being created for that purpose.
