How to Start
This jumping puzzle is located just south of the Broadhollow Waypoint inGendarran Fields. There is also a new Point of Interest you can discovernear the start of the puzzle. Start the puzzle by jumping on those steampads.
Video guide
Note that the end of the puzzle is around 5:36. Rest of the videoexplains how to get to the diving goggles up at the very top.
This video here show you how to get down from the diving goggleplatform. You need to jump from the right side of the platform and aimfor the water below.
Written guide
Once you get past the steam jump pads at the beginning of the puzzle,you will encounter a fake wall that you can pass through.
Past the fake wall, you can jump down and there will be another set oftwo steam jump pads with another fake wall at the end.
There is a 3rd and final fake wall at the end of this jump sequence.
When you emerge from that, follow this path.
There is an Aetherblade cache you can grab and then it is off to theiron bars on the side.
This should bring you to the docked airship.Go inside the airship andthen take a left. Jump on the chain of pillars outside.
At the end of the pillars, you will see a rusty pipe you can jump on topof. Then you will need to make this jump.
There is a jump pad on top that allow you to jump up and continue likethis.
After a couple of jump pads, you should be able to continue across abunch of steam vents to another jump pad at the end. When you are usingthat jump pad, aim a bit right to get on top.
Now you need to jump across the spiral ramps.
There is a jump pad at the end, you need to aim for this intersectionbetween the pipes so you don’t overshoot and fall off.
Once you make the jump, jump down to this narrow beam below and walk tothe top of the ship.
The jumping puzzle chest is a bit below and to the right of the ship ona platform.
Rewards
- There are three Aetherblade caches inside the jumping puzzle (I pointed out their location but they may not worth your time as they are just normal jumping puzzle chests and don’t reward anything good).
- Not so Secret Jumping puzzle achievement – 10 achievement points
- Dive Master achievement – 38th location
- Exotic Aetherized Shoulderpads as a reward from JP chests – [&AgEnqgAA] [&AgEoqgAA][&AgEpqgAA] (cannot be salvaged)

- Medium: Prowler skin from crafting

Do you get these shoulder items for every completion? Or only thefirst time (per character/account)?
Dulfy
I think you get one for every character you run through thepuzzle. I am not sure if you can get a second one if you run thesame character through twice (didn’t try it).
asd
since its soulbound, im sure its one per char
computerkate
it is once per character. You can open the chest againand get other junk. I just got 2 greens from it.
Afya
I just did the JP and I only got 2 greens from themagnificant chest!\And it’s my first time I open that!!! 🙁
Dizza
Same here, completed it for the first time an hour agoand got 2 greens and a medallion i think… :/ maybe nowthat the event is over there’s no more exotic reward?
Dulfy
Ya that seems to be a likely explanation. Theyshould have said something though so people know toget them while the event was active.
Nimryel
This is going to be up tomorrow, right?
Dulfy
Today or Tomorrow. The official GW2 release page still says July1 but usually new stuff appear on Tuesday (July 2) so who knows.
Paladini
This supposed to open today? 🙂
Dulfy
Official GW2 release page says today, so wait till noon EST andsee 🙂
Vrava

Xaphan

Ashlyr
Does this new POI counts needed for 100% map explore ?
Dulfy
yes it is needed but it outside the puzzle so it is not hard toget.
Deniu
Where to jump from Dive Spot??? Texture of some mountain is coveringall the view 🙁
Dulfy
Good question, havn’t quite figured out that one myself.
Wolfdale
You can jump to the water with one of caches, haven’tsucceded without dying on my way down to it but it seempossible.
Dude
Is this reward one time only ?
Dulfy
Once per character maybe? not sure.
TheMoha
yes it’s once per character but since it’s not salvageableor sell able so don’t waste your time unless you want thestat
Luthan
If the screen above with the tooltpis is correct thenthey can be sold to the NPC vendor for 60 silver? Yeah Iknow… not much for people that farm dungeons but forsome people this might be nice.
Belaesarius
Fixed a bug that caused the sale value of the exoticshoulders that drop\from the Aetherblade jumping puzzle to be higherthan intended.

Can the goggle portion be reached from the big chest?
Dulfy
May need a mesmer to port you back from the chest since it isbelow the ship
Echoen
You can port to the goggles all the way from the placeunderneath the ship with multiple pipes, maybe even from thecache in the water.

You have to jump from the platform, not the pipe. on thepipe you can\still see inside a little bit, but from the platform, you’regoing in\blind.
The Spirit Molecule
if u got 38/38 then once u do this u won’t get 39/38….
Aruvqan
To be honest, this puzzle is full of crap. I am not spending 3freaking hours trying to jump, I have enough damned issues with lagpreventing me from being able to actually accomplish jumping puzzlesthat it simply isn’t worth wasting my damned time trying and gettingfrustrated.
Belaesarius
You can Salvage the rune with transmute the Exo on a basic piecelv 80.
Oglethorpe
Looks like that doesn’t work anymore – I did it with the MadKing’s Slippers, but no dice here :-/
Pexra
Just a heads up! I spent 2 hours working towards this Dive Masterachievement only to realize I was already at 38/38 diving locationsfound from months ago. So…yeah, make sure you check yourachievements so you don’t pull your hair out in frustration overnothing! 😛
The Spirit Molecule
Haha same here, but It took me like 15 mins of dying and usingmesmer ports to realize that :p
NataliaShadowmoon
The shoulders are PER Character and you can only get a max of 1.
Summer
