Behem Gauntlet (jumping puzzle) is a jumping puzzle located in the southeast portion of Blazeridge Steppes.

Getting there

The entrance to the puzzle is located in south-east Blazeridge Steppes due east of the Behem Waypoint. Just head east from the waypoint and fight your way through the spiders along the trail until you reach a cave at the end.

The objective is to reach the chest that is on a rock pillar several levels down (visible from the starting ledge). Follow the left wall and jump to the next platform below (one level below the starting ledge). Follow the left wall again and jump to the next platform below. This one is guarded by a Vampire Bat. Keep following the platform along the left wall (you should pass two more Vampire Bats). At the end of the platform, drop to the small rock ledge below it (the one with empty space on two sides) and turn around. Directly under the platform with bats is another platform guarded by a Veteran Red Ooze and a Vampire Bat. Jump over to that platform. Follow the outer edge of this platform to the rocky outcrop beside the stone pillar and jump over to the chest for the achievement. Leaving Jump down into the water (guarded by a Veteran Shark). Swim south along the water surface until you reach the rock wall, then dive and swim through the gap below the wall. Swim up again after passing through the gap and climb out of the water. You should be in a cave with a few Red Ooze. Exit the cave from the south side through the water fall. Alternative You can jump from the top level to the chest, using traits that reduce falling damage: Protector's Impact Descent of Shadows Soften the Fall Death From Above Arcane Abatement Explosive Descent Descent into Madness Toxic Landing Death Shroud will absorb all fall damage. So just jump down to the chest from any height and activate Death Shroud before you touch the ground. Trivia After jumping into the water, there is a small hole in the rocks at the north end just below the surface. This leads into a spacious, empty rock tunnel that seems to serve no purpose. Tips If you only want the achievement, simply jumping to the chest (falling to your death in the process) will still grant the achievement. Gallery
