Guild Wars 2

Searched ‘Loreclaw’ with no results. Found cool secret jumping puzzle but my Thief seems very weak (as in dies instantly) if red circles are not avoided and likewise doesn’t do well with open flame.

What is the minimum prep for this I might be missing since this is the first time these damages have been introduced to the PC?

I’ve watched several YouTube’s on this puzzle and it appears the PCs do the jumping solo and are able to move much faster. One PC had his pants burned off but otherwise still survived.

Also…at the chest(s) there were other players to help out with the fighting… Did they all go through the red circle traps and the fire unscathed?

Does this then require a group and does the first person through to the chests wait maybe a considerable time before her ‘krewe’ (other PCs) manage somehow to arrive?

I actually tried res’ing another PC who happened on the scene but was killed on one of the red circle traps (is there a better name). There wasn’t enough time between the red circle reappearing and killing the res progress.

I need some relatively simple solution or I may give up on this neat one… Too much dying is bad for my nervous system with no clues how to survive or do things differently—if you know what I mean.

Thanks.

You can skip most of the traps by taking a different path. As soon as you enter the cave, jump down into the water. Swim around to the back of the spike trap towers and there’s a jumping bit to get back up that takes you up behind the traps. Then once you’re up there go kill the spiders and climb up the rocks behind them and you can skip the flame traps. Only trap you’ll run into is the falling rocks on the stairs. For that one you can just run past most of them and then dodge forward when you’re near the top.

The chest room can be a little problematic because there are two different bosses that can spawn there. The shadow skelk is an easy enough battle if you use your skills wisely, but sometimes you’ll get a champion ghost mob with his own pocket healer, that one can 3-shot a warrior.
