This latest batch of content is very strange. Many thanks to all those freely rezzing in that place – it was sometimes trickier to figure out how to get to a dead body than the next jump. Many many thanks to the generous mesmer souls who had set up portal chains from the ground to the chest, from the ground to the blimp and from the blimp to the goggles. It’s doable, but it’s going to be a frustrating experience, to say the least.
I pity those who will be doing this puzzle out of season, without the crowds in place. Thank goodness for the community building, inclusive aspect of those things. I didn’t dare leave it for later, because of how difficult it looked, and the fear that once people had done it and moved on, there wouldn’t be others around to rez or port.Įventually, after I sorta kinda did each stage and sequence long enough to understand the theory of what to do, even as I repeatedly failed at the execution, I gave up and made use of all the portals. The jump pads were fine when they worked right.īetween the cramped camera angles in some places and the jump-forward pads shooting you downward slightly when the camera wasn’t angled right, it began to get annoying.Īs the jumps got less forgiving, and ended up with repeated splatters on the ground instead of being able to respawn, and tracing back long obnoxious to execute jumps in sequence, I proceeded to move on to frustration, anger and being very cheesed off. It started out fun, step by step trying to work out the next part of where to go. I’ve died less times in the Aetherblade Retreat.
It got so bad I was freeze framing Dulfy’s video guide second by second, trying to figure out the exact spot to jump to.Įventually, 3 hours and 20 minutes later, I lucked into somehow missing all the pipes and landing in the water alive. That was followed by multiple attempts at the diving goggles, made palatable only by kind mesmers who had set up a sequence of portals up to the goggles. I ended up painstakingly working through (and falling and dying and being rezzed) bits and pieces of the path (with an odd portal here and there) all the way towards the goggles (though I consistently fell off at the last sequence of platforms.)Ībsolutely stumped by the lack of visible chest, and wondering why there were so many portals up to the top of the blimp which seemed to go nowhere, I chilled out with the rest and alt-tabbed to discover that I had been missing the chest several times while up there. Part of it was no doubt my fault for thinking I would be able to make it through without reading or watching a guide.
