Griffonrook Puzzle
if you just want to do it for the achievement, you can make the run also without the bomb.
Just follow one of the solution videos when you google for that Jumping Puzzle.
But doing it wihtout the bomb means, that you get no reward chest at the end, because you need to blow that chest wioth the bomb up.
But anyway, for the first time to get just the 10 AP, its much easier and less stressful to run that JP just without the bomb.
Question: can you use a mesmer portal with the bomb not going off?
I’m doing the JP for the chest. Without the bomb this isn’t hard.
As you can see all the point that I brought up are in regards to getting gibbed randomly by the griffons thus destroying the bomb.

In regard of the Time and the Bomb, its just best to prepare your character for this JP well:
1) Equip that Trait that halves your Fall Damage, it will help you here alot, because you have to do some high jumps and this trait just prevents from falling flat onto the face, losing some important seconds
2) Other Players in your Group..take some with you, that clean the way for you from all the Gryphons and which can place for you Symbols ect. that buff your running speed or putting Aegis on you, or use one of those run speed boosters that let you run faster for an hour
3) Make enough Test Runs, until you have learned the fastest way to run and jump, so that you get experienced with the JP, not to waste time, because of you not knowing where to run to and where to jump to to lose not important time.
Why do you want to make the run for that silly chest?
It contains nothing better, than any other much easier to get chests from JPs and doing the stressful run with the bomb for that chests isn’t it worth it absolutely.
However, when doing this with friend or guild mates as a group, its much much easier and more fun to do that run with bombs, than to do it completely alone.

You should always preview JP videos on youtube before attempting to do them. Some puzzles are very hard and others are impossible to complete without a guide.
Example: trying to collect all orbs in the Scavengers causeway puzzle while one of the orbs is actually invisible/bugged? and you never see it even while actually the interact-collect option of “F” key appears is just lol.
