Getting There[edit]
Seems like they nerfed the Skyscale/Griffon + speed boost trick. The wards are now solid walls, and you cannot get past. --HealyUnit (talk) 23:09, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- It still works, you just need to do it at a specific angle/speed. If you have blishhud with teh's trails marker pack you can see the route. --ItVictor (talk) 23:13, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- I could very well be missing something, but both my friend (who has the aforementioned trails marker pack and BlishHud) have tried it. The ward is now a solid wall all around. In other words, there is no point (that I can tell!) where you can push your character/skyscale/griffon up against part of the ward and it'll go thru. I was able to get thru during the first week by basically doing as you said (zooming thru before the ward police could catch me). I did manage to get the PoI by the second method (waiting for the event), but if someone gets a chance, could we possibly get a screenshot or something? While BlishHud is pretty widely accepted, I feel "install thing to complete this content" is... not exactly a great solution?--HealyUnit (talk) 01:31, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- (replying to my own comment! yay!). So it turns out it is doable. For those also being frustrated by this:
- 1. Position yourself against the LEFT door of the NORTH entrance. You wanna be as close as possible to the ward without triggering it (e.g., getting knocked back). Here's where I positioned my rat: https://imgur.com/a/c3CYss1
- 2. Preferably, use a dash skill (e.g., Daredevil's unhindered combatant). Teleports are... iffy, as you may get teleported out before/without getting credit for the PoI
- Obviously, the easiest is still to just wait for the event, but just in case! --HealyUnit (talk) 01:55, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

I've just managed to grab the POI just by being very close to the barrier, the NW entrance left one if you face it. I just walked as close as possible, no trickery! --IamaZeo (talk) 14:34, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- Can confirm simply standing at the spot linked by HealyUnit (https://imgur.com/a/c3CYss1) is enough (again, this is the NORTH entrance, and the LEFT one of it). - Ray Koopa (talk) 16:33, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
