Danikat.8537 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I know this won't help everyone, but I thought it might help some people who have trouble figuring out where to go within the time limit. It's a very rough guide and unfortunately I can't actually embed the images, but it's the best I can do for now. (There's also many video guides made by other people, which might be more helpful for some people.) I strongly recommend using Action Camera for this puzzle, even if you don't use it normally. You can set it to a keybind and turn it on before you load into the puzzle and it will be active when you're in. With Action Camera turned on the camera will move whenever you move the mouse, you don't need to hold down any buttons. When you push forward (W by default) your characters will turn instantly and on the spot and run in whichever direction you're pointing the camera. That has two important advantages: it's much faster than using the keyboard to turn and it means (in addition to moving the mouse) you only need 2 keys: forward and jump, and then 1 push of the interact key (F by default) when you reach the chest.https://i.imgur.com/zXIh76F.jpg You start on this giant cog and the first part is fairly simple: run forward, jump onto the staircase and run up the stairs. Turn right at the end.https://i.imgur.com/Nsx8I2x.jpg At the top of the first set of stairs jump onto the platform circled in red here, then onto the second set of stairs and run up them and jump onto another giant cog.https://i.imgur.com/2mkbrnQ.jpg When you get to this second giant cog jump onto the little platform on the left (circled in red), turn the camera towards the tower and wait. You need to stand here until part of the tower explodes outwards, providing more platforms to jump on.https://i.imgur.com/2vgPfo1.jpg Jump from the round metallic platform to the large rectangular piece closest to you, run along it and jump onto the 'T' shaped piece behind it. Jump over the lump in the middle and then onto a large flat piece in front of you.https://i.imgur.com/t2rnyYX.jpg From there jump down slightly onto a small cog, across to a sloping chunk of wall and then onto the bottom 'step' of what looks like some large stairs.https://i.imgur.com/zrkx69G.jpg Jump up to the next step then across to the large flat piece on the right (it looks like a long way, but you can reach it). Run along to the far end of that piece and jump onto a metal beam then run up it and jump onto a small rectangular piece which has the chest on top. Press F (or whatever your interact key is) to open the chest. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugabuga.9721 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Also note -- if you open the first chest you _have_ to exit the instance and get into a different one. If you're in the same (even if you re-enter it and get placed onto the same map) the first chest will no longer grant any progression as it will be "open". So... exit completely before re-trying.

Untrue I have opened that chest on multiple runs un the tower. It just dont respawn each run up the tower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoNewb.5468 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 All chests will reset after 2-4 cycles (depending on how long the cycles are) since it was last opened. Two full length cycles (where the field does not wipe and fast forwards the cycle) is about the time it takes for a chest to reset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two full length cycles (where the field does not wipe and fast forwards the cycle) is about the time it takes for a chest to reset. According to the wiki the normal chests will reset after about three minutes. The puzzle will reset after 90 seconds if someone gets to the top. So your estimate of two full cycles seems to be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farohna.6247 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 How many openings does it require before you get something besides a trick or treat bag, roughly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that would be a big help. I have no idea why Anet haven't enabled them, but it's annoying. 1 hour ago, Farohna.6247 said: How many openings does it require before you get something besides a trick or treat bag, roughly? From the first chest? You can't, the only thing it will give is ToT bags. It's just there as a bonus or extra challenge on the way up the puzzle, and the only reason people are especially trying to open it this year is to progress the Court Duty achievement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh thanks, I opened the first one but keep forgetting to try for the second in my jumping endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just dont respawn each run up the tower. So it respawns at the same rate as the other intermediate chest that's been there since the beginning? Edit: Ah yes, I tried earlier and it does. 🙂 Edited October 9, 2021 by Ashantara.8731 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
