Guild Wars 2

I don’t know what to do during the Modremoth boss fight when you’re suppose to “take cover or take to the skies”.

What is this “cover” and how do I get to the skies when there’s an invisible wall around the island?

Unfortunately, Google hasn’t helped me, because I do not see these updrafts people are talking about in forums (perhaps it’s bugged?). I’ve tried hiding under the shield that Brahm puts up, but that doesn’t seem to work.

I’ve died enough that I’ve used my downed time to look around the field and make sure there isn’t a visual clue I’m missing.

Small updrafts/launch pads pop up in a circle on the floor once the call is made. Stepping on them will launch you into the air, giving you a chance to unfurl your glider and properly catch the updraft and go into the air. It’s been a little while since I’ve done it, I don’t remember if just walking on them is enough to launch you or if you need to interact with them, but either way, that’s what you should be looking for.

It’s not on the outside of the map, it’s closer to the middle, in a circle.

What do they look like? I’ve spend nearly an hour doing this, but I didn’t see anything that looked like a launch pad.

They look like updrafts. Waves of air going up from the ground, in a circle pattern on the ground around the boss in the middle.

When I played the mission and heard the call to take to the skies, I was immediately able to identify the updrafts and make use of them.

In that case, I’m going to assume it was bugged. I had another person (who also plays GW2) sit with me and watch, and neither of us saw an updraft.

Thank you though.
