The Branded Mine is a jumping puzzle located just south of Varim's Run in the Fields of Ruin.

Entrance

Start from  Tenaebron Waypoint — and head west up the hill to Krange Lodefinder. Follow the path south, following the western cliff. The opening to the jumping puzzle is surrounded by jagged branded rocks, and is just south of a red plant which appears on the map against the western wall.

Alternatively, start from  Helliot Mine Waypoint — and head north along the path to the same point in the western cliffs, marked by branded shards and a red plant.

The Branded Mine is the location for the Branded for Termination Guild mission.

Walkthrough

Search YouTube for videos related to Branded Mine.

Go immediately right from the cave entrance for the beginning. You'll be jumping on bars along the wall. Jump on the bars carefully. Beware of falling debris from the ceiling; it may knock you down/off the beams. Debris falls when the screen shakes. When you reach the point where you can`t follow the bars anymore, jump on the top of the suspended vertical platform (or glide to the bar in step 4 to skip some jumps) Jump onto the next platform and test your skill on the last tricky bar. Jump straight across the gap and follow the ledge. There are a few more bars to jump on, but they are considerably easier than the others. The last ledge will give you the Grand Chest and the achievement. Tips This jumping puzzle features camera shake every time rocks fall, which can be disorienting: disable it by unchecking the "Enable Camera Shake" camera option. Bring a speed buff such as  Swiftness or  Superspeed; it will help with longer jumps, such as the suspended platform. As with all jumping puzzles, it is recommended to disable the "Double-Tap to Evade" movement option, to decrease the chance of accidentally dodging off platforms. Falling off the beams can be fatal: you can usually glide to safety but you might have to go back to the start. Perhaps bring a friend to revive you, or alternatively use the Jade Bot mastery Jade Tech Waypoint. You can use a glider in this jumping puzzle; this may help with some of the jumps and can be used to skip the difficult drop to the vertical platform.
