Guild Wars 2

Sharkmaw Caverns is killing me when I try to enter. I’ve tried three or four times enter from different angles. Even followed guides and videos. Each time I try, I die just as I hit the edge that would drop me into the pool of water below.

Ditto, Killing me too every time I try and enter it. As of 10/25

If you have 50% fall damage trait you can safely fall near right wall (you’ll land on one of stalagmites midway, then continue to fall after you fully healed). If you dont – good luck trying.

I’ve landed safely once I think, had to line the drop just right. Other times I try and go when a high level is going, they usually survive and rez me haha.

It’s still killing me, I am clipping and the end of the waterfall no matter where i hit and getting instant killed.

While there was a patch that claimed to fix the insta-kill points, there are still some left as you have seen.

What usually works for me is starting a bit left of the middle, I usually go from the middle of the second tooth from the left. Don’t hit any WASD key on the way down the slide. That generally lets me avoid clipping the end of the waterfall, which is treated as a massively high drop and does 50k or so damage on an 80.

When a simple slide doesn’t work, holding left sometimes does. Just be sure never to hit back because that will almost always trigger a mid-fall death.

Once I clear the end of the slide, press back (S) a little so that I avoid the landing.

I usually aim just in between the two waterfalls, which so far has always allowed me to survive. But has a recent change bugged this, causing you to always die?

This is the surefire method I’ve been using. You don’t actually need the trait if you land on the first one first, and move onto the second stalagmite, before free falling. (The second one can be hard to land on)

But yes, annoying bug.

I was confused about this one. I actually did this a while ago and had no problems. When I tried doing it again now with another character I died three times. I landed on the rocks on the right so I wouldn’t take so much damage and then jumped but still I died where the free fall starts.
I then tried to stand between the two middle teeth and aim between the two waterfalls and that seemed to do the trick.

Not a bug. You’re just hitting something on the way down. Try from the left side aiming towards the left-center. You should be falling into water every time.

There is a 100% method to avoid death on that slope: slide near the right wall continuously mashing jump button (default is “space”): you’ll jump midway and fall on stalagmite on the right side without any damage. Then you can proceed and jump further – even if you hit something midway – it wont be lethal.

Don’t need to mash jump at all. Just fall along the right side, catch the stalagmite, and follow onto the lower one (It’s still possible to die on the lip from the first, so make sure you hop to the lower one).

From the lower stalagmite, you won’t take enough fall damage, if any at all, to die. Unless you miss the water completely, of course.
