Goemm's Lab jumping puzzle in Metrica Province

Jumping puzzles are puzzles with platforming elements found in many zones and instances that require the player to find the correct route to the end of the puzzle. The reward for solving the puzzle resets daily (per account) and is typically a Grand Chest, Splendid Chest, or Magnificent Chest. Completing a jumping puzzle will also reward the player with an achievement. Jumping puzzles in Central Tyria zones have a dedicated category of achievements, Jumping Puzzles. Some common themes for the puzzles are environments matching the theme of the zone, veteran enemies guarding the end chest, other hidden chests, and false endings.

List of jumping puzzles[edit]

The list primarily includes the jumping puzzles that are identified as such through their respective achievements. Some other environmental and jumping puzzles are not be listed, from hard to reach vistas and mastery insights to mini-dungeons and others.
