Getting there[edit]

Griffon  Griffon (skill).png 

Access to this Mastery Point was originally intended to require a griffon. Climb the northwestern cobra snake pillar using a springer by jumping on the tail at the rear, and then onto the head. Then, use your griffon to fly to the nearby pillar, and then to the pillar where the Mastery Point is located.

If you also have Bond of Vigor this mastery point becomes much easier. Climb the eastern cobra snake head pillar using a springer by jumping on the tail at the rear, and then onto the head. Mount griffon, activate Bond of Vigor, then fly towards the Mastery Point. With Bond of Vigor active you should get a second flap after launching that gets you enough height.

Griffon (borrowed) Griffon Roost.png

It is possible to obtain this Mastery Point without owning the griffon as long as you have the Open Skies collections unlocked. Travel to the Desert Highlands Griffon Roost and mount up, then ride the griffon all the way to the tombs. Since you will be riding a "borrowed" griffon, you must stay mounted at all times and avoid combat, as you will be unable to remount the griffon without returning to the roost. Once inside the tombs, use the griffon to climb the northwestern cobra snake pillar, using the ledges on the walls to help you. Then fly to the nearby pillar, land on it, and fly again to the Mastery Point.

Springer and  Bond of Faith.png Bond of Faith

With the Bond of Faith mastery, climb the eastern cobra snake head pillar using a springer by jumping on the tail at the rear, and then onto the head. Still mounted on a springer, jump towards the Mastery Point and then use Bond of Faith to land on it.

Springer and  Jade Bot Glide Booster.png Jade Bot Glide Booster

With the Gliding Booster mastery unlocked and a Power Core equipped, climb the eastern cobra snake head pillar using a springer by jumping on the tail at the rear, and then onto the head. Next, glide to the top of the griffon's head in the south-east corner. Jump and glide towards the Mastery Point, using Jade Bot Glide Booster to gain altitude.

Base Springer

With correct timing, it is possible to dismount after charging your jump, giving you enough elevation to glide to the top of the pillar
