I’ve been trying and trying and trying to get the General Explorer achievement “The Long Way Round” but to no avail.

Due to the mix of poor camera system in GW2, the seemingly impossible amount of risen hands surrounding each datapad and … yes my obviously pathetic ability to dodge and time the corruption AOE… I find this achievement to be a little beyond me.

There is supposedly meant to be a cheats way round of course, but that’s for those that prefer that course of action. I have also ran this countless times with another player in group to pull the corruption shots to them while I attempt to turn off the pads but there in lies another issue.. having to stop and troll thro the shut down process for a couple of seconds just gets me tagged by another risen hands corruption AOE and so after countless hours trying I guess I am resigned to failure on this one, unless anyone can offer some hope.

Why would you take the long way if the reward is same?

I ran this achievement some weeks ago.
Tip is to do this using guardian, the aegis from virtue and “Retreat!” really helps to prevent you from getting the corruption from risen hand

I can’t do it either but that is because I seem completely unable to find the entrance 0_0.

I did look on you tube and I have found only one video that starts from the shore but the guy in the video has his graphics so low that it looks completely different in my game
After swimming around for over an hour the other night fighting off krait every step I gave up- it’s the closest I’ve been to rage quitting yet

Not everyone plays for rewards.

Life is a journey.
Time is a river.
The door is ajar.
