Guild Wars 2

Is there a trick to this one? I jumped up the pillars with no problems yesterday, but today, I can’t get onto that last pillar. I’ve tried jumping at different angles, different spots, aimed for different spots on the last pillar and just can’t seem to find the winning combo. Is there something obvious I am missing or is the window for the jump just that fiddly?

The last pillar seems to be barely within range of jumping and gliding to it. I usually jump and hold from the left edge.

Alternatively, you can through the back of the centaur camp up the blocks and either through the entrance or up to the vista and fall.

i did it earlier with no effort you maybe jumping to early

Maybe use an Experimental Rifle? Or a friendly Mesmer? Lol, I’ve used both.

I’ve learned to take a running jump and hit my lean techniques a split moment after hitting space bar to jump. That gets me the extra speed in the air to make it to the lower part of that pillar’s top.

Experimental rifle seems like the best option here. I went there with the one character I knew had those on her and tried the jump first and made it with zero problem. /facedesk, cry. That jump is crazy weird. Thanks for the feedback guys.

That pillar frustrated me until I realized I was a Dragonhunter… I felt real dumb after that.

Ignore the first pillar and jump round the furthest ledge. You can glide straight onto the last pillar from there.

THANK YOU! This was the secret I was looking for.

To clarify for others who are curious – jump onto the first and second pillar, then on the long ledge instead of jumping on the third pillar, you can go around the corner of that ledge to get higher ground. Then just jump directly to the 4th pillar.

Seriously – thank you.

I’m using this way.

I tried going around the long ledge and it was too slippery, I fell down

Maria Murtor, where do you start for that glide? Looks amazing but the gif is too small for me to see the minimap info.

Here you go. It’s very easy-

Thanks! I still missed, but now I know where to jump from and to aim my glide a bit more tightly.

Maria, thank you SO MUCH for showing us that trick!

Seconded. I’d always thought that it was a shame you couldn’t just glide to that place, but I had missed the slightly higher spot you’ve pointed out there.

How do you get to that higher elevation spot in the picture? Every time I try, I am knocked down.

As far as I remember, you just walk there. I don’t remember anything ‘knocking’ me down.

Good luck.

Knocked down by? There are no foes on that slope. Can you show us a screenshot of where you are? (including the mini map) thanks.

A speed boost usually helps.

You just run to it. Enter from the Noran area, go through the small tunnel of spiders and bats, and when you emerge into the peach tree cavern immediately go right. You can either glide across the gap or run up the grey stone part.

Then turn to face daylight with the sharp vertical edge of rock near you to the right and slightly in front of you. Jump forward and glide, immediately pressing forward to use lean techniques and steering right to hug the wall. You should go through a sort of notch in the rock wall and then look ahead to the peach tree butte. Steer to its left edge, aiming for the narrow bit of green against the middle tier grey ledge.

Sometimes the spiders spit poison at you on your way there, which puts you in combat. It is still possible to reach the butte top despite that, but if you just miss the landing you can glide back across the gap and run back to try again.
