Guild Wars 2

Hi all

I’m hoping to make this post a helpful one to those who may have missed some neat little tricks to earn more gold or “hidden” easter eggs in the game. Some things might seem obvious to some players, but there will always be some that you may miss.

I have been playing the game for almost 2 years and I still come across stuff in the forums that leaves me going “what? you can do that?”. Below are 2 prime examples

1. I didn’t realize until recently, that anyone in your party can enter your home instance and have access and gather the nodes and stuff you have stored inside.

2. With the whole season 2 having to be bought with gems, there were a surprising amount of players on the forums who didn’t know that you could just join someone who had it all unlocked and run through it with them (but without any rewards).
This was important info for those who wanted to catch up with the story so that HoT made sense.

So ya, there are a few other practical ones like “you don’t need to carry the bomb to the chest” in Griffonhook run to get the JP achievement.

Also, there used to be a spot in Silverwastes where you could glitch out the map and fall underneath it in water. You could swim around and could use your position to log off and on again to teleport to the highest point in silverwastes. Got some great screenshots out of that. (I think it’s fixed now)

Anyways hope you guys get the idea and can add some useful tips to this post, who knows, there might be more obvious ones i’m missing out on.

Thanks

There is a hidden room in AC full of turkeys.

Hidden place in WvW Borderlands filled with cats.
I hope they move those kittens to the new maps

you can still get under Silverwastes
and you can still get under ~90% of all PvE maps
keep on searching

for the easter eggs:
- there is that young boy that is placed anywhere in tyria
a dev said he exists 3x i think
and atm i only know 2 of his locations and i am not sure if the last one has even been found and made public yet:
(i wonder how many people probably saw him but didnt think about it being an easter egg xD)
1x in WvW borderland jp catroom 1x at vigil keep

- the Legend of Zelda Chickens in Ebonhawke

There’s a terrific stickied thread in the Players Helping Players forum of Tips for players.

The boy on the swing that wasnt found for a long time was the on in PvP. It is located in the battle of Khylo and got found about half a year ago I think. It is very distant so it you can’t barely see it.

Edit: Here is a picture of it. In game its easier to see: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/the-third-swinging-boy/first#post3996097

There is an event in Mount Maelstrom that appears differently and uses different NPC dialoauge based upon which order you joined and if you have completed a specific story step

Trahearne (in Asura form) next to the new Mystic Toilet, talking about how Zomorros must have a huge kitten nal of weapons that people keep throwing in.

There’s an NPC, I think in Gendarran fields, who stands in front of a fruit vendor and says “This Pear… So Delicious.” (a wow wotlk raid boss had the catch phrase “despair… so delicious.”)

Numerous places in the game, Fields of Ruin in particular, have “Suspicious Rats” that are trained to spy. You can even talk to them if you are an Order of Whispers members. In Mount Maelstrom, on top of a bridge, there’s a single “Unsuspicious Rat” sitting around doing nothing remarkable.
