SpiritSharD.2650 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I know this is going to be criticised, but oh well.This jumping puzzle is infuriating, and I'd argue broken. This is the only JP I can think of that does not require skill, only luck, and it comes down to two particular parts of it.Towards the end, you have to jump on a pile of rocks. There's an invisible barrier that pushes the player back if they jump too close / high, which risks falling off entirely.The second issue is the part immediately after. There is absolutely no consistency with how the cogwheels launch you. Every time I have either been overshot, or forced to collide with the pillar.

Floppy.4936 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 That JP is a nightmare. If you are on EU and want help I can teleport you to the end with Mesmer, just PM me in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Very annoying JP yes..Fun fact though, there is a way to launch yourself straight to the chest using Bond of Faith.. but it's tricky to pull off and takes a lot of practice lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I have either been overshot, or forced to collide with the pillar.the only JP that relies on luck is the old Weyandt's Revenge where you need to jump down the waterfall and pray not get hit by a rock spike on the way downI not sure why people always yelling at Not so Secret as being hard, at beginning it is hard, but when you had done it on 12 toons everyday for months (to get the blade shards) it becomes really easythere is nothing difficult about the cogs, you just need to face the direction you are going to and jump on it, and not jumping on it while it is spinningthe piston jump are the ones that have some difficulties being under or overthe only difficult jump is the one that you need to jump from the pipe to a bottom fin of the airship as for the rock? not sure where you referring to if you think this is hard, Emberbay will make you want to uninstall the game, not only it is ridiculously long, it full of extremely tricky jumpsthere are some ledges where if you fall you have to way point out and restart from the beginningthe jp have checkpoints that you personally have to go through, so a mesmer cannot port you to the endit's not uncommon for people to spent 2-5hours in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's technically not part of the JP as that ends once you have access to the top of the airship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galmac.4680 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 This JP is quite hard, but it seems you never tried that in ember bay or at mont draconis. THAT are broken puzzles, "not so secret " is a kindergarten compared to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Many people have completed this JP. There is no bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT are broken puzzles, "not so secret " is a kindergarten compared to them.I find not so secret harder than either, but neither are broken and neither is this. If you struggle with jumping puzzles, like those two i highly recommend the position reminder obtained in one of the LS3 maps, makes the harder jumping puzzles a cake walk.
