Guild Wars 2

In Goemm’s Lab, somebody moved one of the floating isles (if you enter the stormy station and look to the right -> screenshot 1) farther away…

The problem is: while doing so, they ignored the fact that you have to use one of the branches connected to it to get to the portal.

So by fixing the old shortcut, you are now forcing people to use a different shortcut as the JP is otherwise not doable (at least i couldn’t make the jump – no matter how often i tried).

OP is correct. You can’t follow the correct path anymore as the gaps are way too wide. The only way across is with the experimental rifle or engi rifle jump/launch/leap.

This jumping puzzle doesn’t seem to work ..

you get through the first section fine BUT then in the stormy station area I got attuned and jumped across the rock to the branch BUT you CAN’T reach the other branch before the wind section again as it is too far away

Checked online for puzzle solutions and ALL of them did just what i did up to that point BUT THEY had the branches much closer together

Yeah, someone else posted this the other day, and I went and checked it out. It’s different now than it was before. The jumps in the stormy section can’t be done without engi rifle, experimental rifle, or lightning hammer (I assume that one will work, as I haven’t tried it personally). This is a new thing that popped up with last week’s patch.

ok so I have to go purchase an in game item or be a specific class? (was trying to do this for the first time on my mesmer as my engineer is a charr and I hate doing jumping puzzles with the charr)

and ty for the info

That’s the only way I was able to make the jumps, I’m afraid.

There is a way around it. For the first bit, jump across lightning platforms. The last jump, jump DOWN to the bit way down. From there, jump to the branch. Kinda scary but very possible. Go normally to get your attunement. Then suicide jump once through the portal. Go back to stormy, then go to the right hand side. Line up carefully and jump down to the branch just before the arrow platforms. You can get to the second portal from there, without jumpshot or anything else. Tested by an engi (cos i could) and a mesmer who said i cheated and then i had to go back and do it again. Give it a go. RoseofGilead, see if that makes sense?

shaman if you want i can show you a way to get past it without having to purchase an item or use a different class (does not matter if you are NA or EU since i have 2 accounts so I can play on both)

Or wait for them to fix the bug. (It’s one of the more difficult puzzles, so I know people who have never done it “legit”, but instead have used one or more back up tools such as described above.)

After you suicide jump you can also jump from the first platform down to the arrow platform provided you have your fall damage trait equipped. That’s how I got through yesterday.

I have my mesmer parked at the end now if anyone wants a port in the meantime. Just contact me in-game.

Oh, I already saw that way to do it. But it just (as you said) has so many weird jumps that can go badly, and that path is clearly not the intended path. I’ve done the puzzle a number of times and have enough experimental rifles to get through it while it’s bugged, if I feel like doing the puzzle. It’s just that, for players who are new to the puzzle, it’s very, very broken.

It does have odd jumps and isn’t very user friendly. This is my and my bf’s fave puzzle (one of really) so after your post we had to go in and see how broken. Then had to do a work around. But for a new person, this would be horrible

It looks like there’s a bug on the second level (stormy station) of the Goemm’s lab jumping puzzle. Normally there are 2 branches with wind in between, but as seen in the screenshot, there’s only one.. Not sure if this is a glitch or an intentional change but it seems nearly impossible to overcome (I play elementalist and even the lightening flash ability won’t get me there).

They moved the cliff (for some reason) in a recent patch, effectively breaking the stormy path. You have to either suicide jump down from above or use an engi rifle/experimental rifle/lightning hammer to make the jumps in that section.

This issue has yet to be fixed. As of today, the jump is still impossible. The puzzle can only be completed using Jump Shot or something similar, or by falling off one of the cliff sides with the fall damage trait, or with a well timed Spectral Return in mid-air.

In Dulfy’s guide, there is a branch that’s coming out from the left. But now, there is nothing to jump to. This is blocking the progress of the jp.

I asked in map, and nobodies knows about this. Said it’s been like this for months ! How does this even happen? its like the whole chunk of rock was deleted.

This should be fixed asap.

It’s not been that way for months. The first time I saw anything about it (and when I first noticed it myself in-game) was a little less than a month ago. It looks like the cliff was moved (for some reason). Bug report it in-game, for sure.

I have a mesmer at the end of Goemm’s lab right now. I wondered what was up with not being able to jump across proper like at that spot. I wound up dropping down from above with fall damage trait in order to get past there. If you need to the end of the puzzle hit me up in game and I’ll happily port you there.

I’d wondered what was up with this spot. I did the new “shortcut” in the OP’s second picture to get through here. As I’ve said in other threads I have a mesmer at the end and will happily port anyone there that needs the puzzle.

You can still do it, even without jump shot etc.

After getting the buff, you simply die on purpose, after that teleport back to stormy and jump off the rock at the right side.
fall damage reduction will help alot

It is absolutely ridiculous that this is still broken,get on it anet.

This is still broken. Tried it today with a friend
