The entrance to this jumping puzzle is underwater. You'll often find Alpine Skelk around the entrance.
Note that throughout this area there are icicles falling from the ceiling; they take a while to land but can disrupt your timing or throw you off the edges.
1. Once you're inside, climb up the ruined stairs and jump the gap to an area with Blue Oozes. It is probably best to kill these as their attacks can interrupt your jumping.
2. Continue upwards. Jump from one ledge to the next until you're at the top, then hop to a ruined pillar and down to the bridge. Jump over the gap and battle the two trolls. They're in an enclosed space, so their AoE can be a pain here.
3. Take the middle exit across to the Veteran Cave Troll. This is a deadly foe here as he will knock back and freeze you in place; fight him with your back to one of the pillars.
4. Jump across to the snowy stairs and then around to the next few platforms. Mind the icicles dropping once more. Continue along the left wall, climbing the ice and either battling or dodging the blue oozes.
5. Jump the gap to the middle platform, where the Veteran Chromatic Ooze awaits. This jump is a long one, and any swiftness boosts or jumping abilities are beneficial here. The Chromatic Ooze will knock you back, so mind your footing.
6. Carefully walk across the chain to the next platform and then hop to your right and into the tower. Another Veteran Cave Troll waits for you here. Continue on upwards once you've beaten it.
7. Hop from one platform to another, and note that towards the top you reverse direction for the last two or three jumps. Here lies a Grand Chest and achievement for completing the puzzle. There's also some diving goggles to get back down again.
