Still accessible?[edit]

I can't seem to find the Nolani Academy Ruins waypoint on my Black Citadel map, nor is there a way leading to the upper left corner of it. Can it be this area cannot be accessed anymore? - Ray Koopa (talk) 18:10, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Checked back on this, this should get a temporary sign... the only way to get there right now is through glitching, but objects there are unsolid, and you cannot warp anywhere anymore. - 84.44.233.13 02:22, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
I was just able to get there by climbing the outside wall of the citadel NW of the Diessa Gate Waypoint. From the waypoint, you proceed around to just before the ramp down to the gun platform in Haunted Nolani. From there you jump on the ledge on your right and continue around clockwise to the NW climbing the city wall and ledges. From the ledges, you can glide into it. This isn't the first time I've observed something like this. You can do something similar with : Point of interest (map icon).png Foefire's Heart --Fbody (talk) 04:23, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
I'm sure you noticed, but the comments you're responding to are over a year old. You can glide down from the top of the citadel too. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 16:04, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
Also, you can map break from the same ledges, allowing you to dive underneath the map and emerge above the locked ruins with the Chest. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 16:29, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
I would like to add a couple of notes:
  • About Ghostblast Battery platform: if you glide on it, you will see a way to an elevator, which should move you up, to the area below traders. Although it looks like active (vibrant air at the entrance), it doesn't work. The corresponding elevator above is closed and guarded by Battery Commander Shortshot (he has a dialog about the platform, but doesn't let you go down). It's not clear whether this platform could be normally accessible in the past.
  • About the closed area: it's not hard to run from Diessa Gate Waypoint around the building with trading post and glide to the area behind the closed gate (which is accessible normally from the ground). But the road to the northern part of the cave is blocked by transparent vibrant portal, which doesn't let you in. As a result, only a half of the area behind the gate can be explored this way. However, you can see the cave on the city map. --109.252.108.245 22:25, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
