Guild Wars 2

Is there any way to get to the first checkpoint in Zone 3 without having someone in your party tank the stun plants? It seems out of reach from both the ground and the nearby log to burn the plants.

You aim to land right on the front edge of the ledge, you are barely touching the sticky plants, but it doesn’t trigger them and then use your candle there to burn em.

use your torch when you’re standing on the ground below them and then jump, you’ll burn them

though sacrificing someone is fun too

FYI, you can get the achievement in infantile mode, when you have a rainbow to stand on to burn the plants before you get to the ledge.

You can also start channeling the torch skill before jumping onto the ledge. If you land on the plants just when the torch skill actually activates you’ll burn them before getting hit and you can keep going to the checkpoint.
