Guild Wars 2

Not speculation about not releasing previous weapons. A dev specifically stated they were not going to.

I dot think they will since they’ve stated they want each release to be unique. I don’t believe they’ve done underwater weapons yet.

I had to do one note per cloud.

Most likely not.

Kal Spiro.9745:

I keep getting ravaged by the wizard. I just don’t understand what I’m supposed to do when he charges me because there doesn’t seem to be any way to block.

When he hits 50%, he does his charge attack. I believe it’s 3 times per round. What you do is reflect his attack, but him, and then run as far away from him as you can. Circle the area along the edge. You should be able to stay away from him.

Vol.5241:

Why are you guys even using potions? You should be able to heal off drops, especially in W2.

The only time I ever used all my potions was on shortcut eagle.

On modes other than infantile, health drops are rare.

If you do both worlds each day (14 bauble bubbles?), collect baubles, dig, and complete TM (250 baubles) then you can easily make enough during the month if you must have every skin.

Not everything scales up equally. You’re paying extra for the convenience of restoring two hearts instead of just 1.

It is listed in the guide. (Area 2, 2nd paragraph)

I’m pretty sure he’s aware of it and what their plans are. I think it was him back in April that mentioned the changes. I saved a stack because of that an unfortunately there isn’t anything worth getting this time around.

I’m mind of disappointed about the video guides and how many people rely on them. I’ve seen people get stuck on parts that were changed with the latest patch and then say they don’t know what to do since they can no longer do it like in the video. The clouds past the checkpoint by the elite skill in W2Z3 is a good example. I just wonder how many people will get stuck if they patch the bridge part at the end of that zone.

I thought they said they were going to adjust the price when they modified how many bauble bubbles you could get. I guess they forgot that or just wanted them more exclusive.

Yeah. Memorizing the path to take as well as performing the precise jumps takes no skill at all… /rolls eyes

I’ve never seen a chest dug up before. Does anyone (who isn’t already sick of doing this) want to verify that the chest doesn’t count for some reason? I’m 99% sure it won’t but then you never know…

So you’re saying the chest is there on normal mode without having to dig for it? When I was doing my extensive search of the zone, I was doing it on infantile mode. If some things are not included in that mode then I like missed it.

People are still wasting points to get IC? I thought we all got past that months ago.

For world 2, you have to drop down from the rainbow that’s over the yeti’s head at the end of zone 3.

By the first group of hillbilly’s. in TM, this is near where you drop down to go through the cave.

I’ll also add that I’ve done this on both infantile and normal. I’ve also created a new character and did on on infantile. This still failed.

Did it on new toon and it still failed.

I filed a support ticket so hopefully I get a response from them about this.

CMF.5461:

Also just ran through this on normal and no reward.

I noticed your notes reference things out of order or mention clouds while you did this on normal. You may have not logged the information correctly, if you did get the achievement….or it’s bugged…or you just trolled us good

Especially me since I created a new toon, geared it up, and almost through the run.

Doing it on normal did not work. Will try on another toon. If no credit then I’m not going to do this again until I know it’s fixed.

Guess I’ll run it on normal real quick and see. So you ran it twice on infantile getting the same baubles without success?

Same. Unless one of the baubles causes us to fail, I don’t see how he got it. Does this need to be done on normal? How about no continues? How about someone run it with a different toon? I may do that later tonight just to see.

Worked for me yesterday.

Likely waiting for us to finish that one guide on the forums before making hers.

Have you learned the songs? You have to learn them in-game to use them.

Checkpoints

• Remove regular checkpoints and have the cloud ones instead.
• In conjunction with the previous suggestion, make the balloon locations less obvious.
• Add a time limit to the balloon before it deflates/pops
• Enemies can pop the balloon

Traps/Obstacles

• More tribulation clouds
• More time-related obstacles
• More jumping puzzles (i.e. the one at the end of W2Z3 which required precision)
• Puzzles that require critical thinking (like what’s in a lot of Zelda games)
• Traps that slow/cripple/etc
• Randomize trap locations (base this by instance, not have them constantly change as you attempt it)

Enemies/Flowers/Barrels

• Have these reset/respawn upon player death (no more sacrificing lives to clear them)
• Give them a basic pathing (can make this an obstacle by forcing players to avoid aggro)
• Increase aggro range

Then don’t do it. Many of us enjoy this.

You can go around it and reach the platform from the other side

Many of us have tried numerous times to get this and have compared our lists. At the area after the checkpoint before you drop down to make the ascent up the slipper hill, we noticed something. The stone head on the left can be opened by the song and leads outside where you can open up another stone head to get to the spike room.

The stone head on the right does not react to the song. You can see the symbol as if you’re to use the glove on it but there is no way to get to it.

Perhaps a dev or someone with a list of ALL of the bauble locations can run it on a live server and confirm whether this achievement can actually be completed?

Something tells me that you may not enjoy the older games which were based about this. There are a ton of games that required items before you could progress (*cough*Zelda*cough*). Not all games can be rushed through and be super easy.

RyuDragnier.9476:

What’re you talking about? There’s only the one in section 2 (the one with the first chest), and the one in section 5 (the section with the boss). Unless they added one.

You’re right. It’s been awhile since I did it so misread what was listed in Dulfy’s guide.

Ayrilana.1396:

Well then it’s not zone 3. Did you get the second shop in zone 2? It’s the one that you hit the checkpoint past the shortcut then turn around and look down.

I double checked both shops in Z1, and all 3 shops in Z2. None of them gave me the achievement pop. And considering this reminds me of the last time the “free candle” shop wouldn’t work for the secret rooms achievement…yeah, I’m fairly certain it’s that shop.

There’s 3 in zone 1

You can see the door frame of the shop on the left side of the trunk.

Well then it’s not zone 3. Did you get the second shop in zone 2? It’s the one that you hit the checkpoint past the shortcut then turn around and look down.

You likely already got swamp which is why. Did you do the hidden one at the shop behind the waterfall in zone 3?

The new platform (a trap in TM) makes it more difficult to go across the normal way. You either have to wait for the logs to line up in a way which happens about every 3 min or do the bear cave like mentioned. That new platform probably did more harm than good.

Ozzy.4805:

Why is it that when i am in trib mode and take 2 minutes to go take a kitten i come back and im sitting in the super adventure box hub instead of the area i was afk at?

i had to pee right before King Toad on trib mode and i come back and im no longer inside. please explain this to me, as this is absolutely ridiculous.

The frog just outside killed you over and over until you went to the continue screen. Since you weren’t at the computer, you couldn’t select to continue.

muse.7813:

I cant seem to see the first blue bauble in area 1 you listed I must be missing something. I have found 2 blue baubles (rakitten one and near polar bear one) and the 2 yellows but along the route one i just dont see it

On the lower ledge next to the trees as you take the first corner. The rainbow goes over it if you’re on infantile mode.

Go to the Yeti boss in zone 3 and drop down to it from the rainbow that goes overhead.

I’m 16/17 from doing it on my own and then running through it again with this guide.

A lot of people are still trying to do those those. A lot of the people that usually do guides are just waiting for someone else to post theirs so they can make their own version from it.

When coming from the checkpoint, just go to the right instead of left.

Finally got it. Guess you’re forced to play one note per cloud.

Is it really possible to get up to the elite skill on TM? I’ve been able to on normal and infantile, but it just doesn’t want to open on TM.

Zone 2 is fine. Learn the traps and it’s a piece of cake.

TFMurphy.5136:

A lot to read after I woke up, heh.

Ayrilana> That was indeed a Yellow Bauble I was missing. Thanks for the screenshot — it was a nice enough hint that allowed me to find it without any other prompting.

Absconditus> That Yellow Bauble is just as easy on Normal as it is on Infantile — just drop to the left of where the Cloud would normally be instead of from the Cloud itself. (The main difficulty is just knowing it’s there). Also, with regards to the secret you pointed out in your last post, Niodyne already beat you to it. There’s an easier way into that Bear area as well, and that’s the method I prefer to use once I’m done with the first Mountain.

===

I’ve updated the guide with the new information. However, some bad news. Unless I screwed up the run, that was still not all the Baubles in the Zone. Someone may wish to confirm that the above run doesn’t work (just to help nail out user error on my part), but it looks like the scavenger hunt is still ongoing.

Thank you for the help so far. The end is in sight, but we’re not there yet.

No problem. I didn’t want to give it completely away but figured the look of the general area was enough.

I don’t remember seeing this one on your list. It may be the one you’re missing since there’s only ONE way to get it and it’s not listed specifically.

It’s not this one is it?

EDIT: Nevermind. That’s the goat mountain one
