Tips
- All your skills and abilities will be disabled in the jumping puzzle:
- All boons will be removed.
- You will drop any environmental weapon you are holding.
- Speed Boosters will retain their normal effect.
- Effects will be retained, such as the Elementalist trait One with Air.
- Do not stop moving, you will not have much time to move after jumping to the lower platform.
- Stick to the right side of platforms. The further you move left, the more time you are wasting.
