Guild Wars 2

So at the very end of the dungeon in that big open area where you fight Howling King/Colossus Rumblus, you can climb to the top of the broken staircase and go through a doorway that’s semi-hidden by vines. This leads to a room with a bunch of pillars and invisible walkways that you can traverse to get to a landing at the other side. But that’s it – it goes nowhere after that.

I’m just wondering why this area is in the dungeon, or what was it going to be for (if anything)? Can a dev shed some light on this?

It was supposed to be a part of the dungeon but due to deadlines the dungeon team couldn’t finish it. Maybe it will be finished someday, who knows.

According to Josh Foreman, it’s an unfinished jumping puzzle.

Out of curiosity… the “secret” area at the end of Ascalonian Catacombs paths 1 and 3… is that a JP or is this something that was left there???

That one never got finished. I’m sure it will be at some point. That’s another map I worked on midpoint. Hand placed about a trillion bits of grass and detritus all along the walls, hahaha! But Aaron added the JP in the polish pass, and I guess they never got around to scripting it.
