i have done this a couple of times since last weekend, i have not had the achievement for buried archives in my achievements log. do you need to kill the elite by the chest to have it pop up or is this a bug or not actually the buried archives puzzle (given the name i would have presumed the buried archive not to be at one of the highest points on the map

You do have to be next to the chest to get the achievement. But, unless you kill the popup, it will be difficult to open as damage taken interrupts the open operation. Mar Talk Master 08:48, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Directions are currently wrong or vauge at best. The actual start of the puzzle is further south past all of the raptors. Go up to the vista and just north of the vista you have to jump of the cliff to some mushrooms sticking out just a few feet below. The current directions and pictures are just confusing. I will try to improve the article later tonight. Rypofalem 05:14, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

I wrote a walkthrough based on the starting image and had no trouble finding this puzzle with the instructions "Start at the vista". I had no issues getting the chest and achievement without any combat at all for this whole puzzle. Sadly I didn't read the discussion page before I wrote this up, Feel free to edit if you wish Rypofalem Yoe Dude 17:52, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Bugged?[edit]

It happened to me the second time today that this chest couldn't be opened, even though I hadn't touched it in ages. As I was on a JP rampage today, doing all of them, this one last, I have a suspicion that this chest suffers from the same shared reward bug that affects Weyandt's Revenge and Chaos Crystal Caverns. Can anyone confirm this? Endrosz (talk) 16:02, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

I had the same bug of the chest being already opened today, however I have only done Goemm's lab today. It's quite annoying... Kaspar (talk) 18:48, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
Same problem for me. Visited this JP for the first time ever (got the achievement) and chest is already opened. I did a bunch of JP's before, including Goemm's Lab, so I guess that's the reason then. -- Gem (gem / talk) 19:05, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
