The puzzle starts at the ruined stone bridge southwest of  The Vizier's Tower — . The closest waypoint is  Lone Post Waypoint — , and the bridge is on the shore southeast of there.

Walkthrough

Starting at the base of the bridge, jump east across the gap, to an area covered in flat purple corals. Hop up the corals and continue northeast along the flat rock. At the northeast edge, jump over a small gap to a rock ledge that slopes up to the northeast. Climb it and double back along the ledges to the west, jumping over a few small gaps. When you reach the base of a large tree-shaped coral, turn north, and jump down to the Orrian stonework visible there. Follow it around to the northeast, jumping over a few more gaps. Continue following the path as it doubles back to the southwest, around the tower, until you reach some more flat purple corals. When you reach the highest purple coral you can climb onto, jump south onto the branch of the tree coral, being mindful that the branches are quite thin and the frilly parts are not solid. Run west along the branch a bit, then climb up the tree onto a north-facing branch, that overlooks the top of the puzzle. Jump from the end of the branch onto the flat purple corals northeast of you and head into the tower: you have finished the puzzle! At the top, you will find a Vista to the north, and a Hero Challenge. To obtain the Hero point, read the Book on the table at the back of the tower. There is also an Orrian Chest that can be interacted with to start Kill the Risen wizard patrolling the Vizier's Tower (74), which will reward a Grand Chest upon completion. Tips Take extra care on the very last jump: if you fall all the way down, you will die. Gliding is enabled throughout the puzzle, easing some jumps and making mistakes safer except for the second obstacle. Diving goggles After the first jump over the broken bridge, climb up the corals onto the large rock platform. The goggles are found on the south edge of the platform, on a purple coral. Shortcuts There are a few possible shortcuts to reach the end of this jumping puzzle. They both require a mount with good vertical mobility, like the Springer or Skyscale. From the tree-like coral north of  The Vizier's Tower Vista — Requires: One of the following mounts: Springer with High Vault Skyscale (no masteries needed) Bond of Faith. Head north of  The Vizier's Tower — , to the large tree-shaped coral on the north shore of the island. Climb to the very top of it. From here, the goal is to launch as high and as far south as you can, depending on your mount: On a Skyscale, fly up as high as you can, then head a bit further south (but not too close, to avoid  Mounts Disabled). Use   Bond of Faith to launch the rest of the way to the tower: if you're close enough, you shouldn't even need to glide. On a Springer, it can be a bit trickier. Make sure to climb to the highest, southernmost part of the tree. From there, jump as high as you can and use   Bond of Faith at the top of your leap. Move forward throughout the leap to gain a bit more distance: you may need to deploy your glider to make sure you travel far enough. From the top of Broken Spit Requires: Skyscale (no masteries needed) Bond of Faith. Gliding with the following masteries: Lean Techniques Advanced Gliding Climb to the highest point of the ruins at  Broken Spit — . Fly as high as you can above it using your Skyscale, and launch off using Bond of Faith. Glide north to the top of the puzzle, leaning forwards all the way.
