Elder location is incorrect.

Hey there!

First time here, and I need some help. I’ve been playing the game on & off since this summer, and am now about to defeat the Elder(yes, I am that slow at progressing)

A problem has appeared though. I have two locations of the elder boss marked out in my world. Neither of them actually leads to an altar. Whenever I arrive there is just normal Black Forest terrain. I created the world pre-Heart&Home, marked the locations pre-Hearth&Home but explored and found the marked locations post-Hearth&Home(and found no altar obviously).

Is it possible that Hearth & Home generated new terraria in unexplored areas? And therefore have overwritten where the altars are meant to be?

And lastly, is there any way to recover it or how do I find a new location? I have found new Vegvisirs that all say ”Location already marked”, thus finding a new one seems quite challenging.

Would appreciate any help, thanks and have a nice day/night!

Turns out this was exactly what helped, got a brand new location that I'll venture to now. Thank you for the help!

Remove the location from your map and read the vegvisirs again. They have indeed changed.

Its probably nearby, the patch notes said they moved slightly... if you are already there, circle the old one. if you gave up, as above, get the new loc.
