Interactive map (Upper level)

The Precarious Perch is a point of interest, a ruin piece suspended in the Canopy over Pale Reaver Rally by giant vines. It is the location of Kill the Wyvern Patriarch event during Night and the Enemy meta event in Verdant Brink.

Getting there[edit]

During the night[edit]

The platform can only be accessed during the event Kill the Wyvern Patriarch, as part of the Night and the Enemy map meta event. Players have to use any Pact Chopper in any camp of the Outpost: Pale Reaver Rally. This will teleport them to a ledge just below the platform, from where they can use an airdraft with gliding and Updraft Use to reach the platform.

Alternatively, use mounts.

During the day[edit]

While the platform cannot be reached during the day without the use of mounts, the point of interest can be unlocked from the passages just under the platform with Bouncing Mushrooms, Updraft Use, and Lean Techniques.

  1. Start at the Point of interest (map icon).png Dust Dancer Plateau. One way to reach it is to use the Waypoint (map icon).png Shrouded Ruins Waypoint in the Shrouded Ruins and go up the stairs to the left.
  2. Use the Bouncing Mushroom at the eastern side of the plateau to jump up.
  3. Continue east, jump up the rocks, and into the green vines. Jump up and glide from vine to vine until you reach the small floating island with some Wyverns.
  4. On the northwest side of the island, use the bouncing mushroom. You are now at the start of the Verdant Brink Insight: Canopy Over Pact Encampment jumping puzzle. Either glide right, around the structure, following the vine, or jump accross the wreckage, to reach a Bouncing Mushroom and use it.
  5. You are now at the start of the Dive Master: Verdant Brink achievement, in a crashed aircraft or ship with Diving Goggles near you. Your goal is to go to the other end of the ship. Glide directly north into a very small updraft slightly below you, then glide northeast into the big updraft in the direction of the Pile of Guano hero challenge. From the updraft, glide directly east and fall down into the bright-green vines behind the ship with the goggles.
  6. From these green vines, you will see that there is a very large updraft directly east and slightly above you. Although it looks like it is too high above, you can safely reach it by jumping from the bifurcation of the vines. After this large updraft, turn directly east and fall down a bit. There are 2 super small updrafts ahead of you. Use both and you will reach a super long updraft. Use it, and glide towards your goal, the Precarious Perch point of interest. Land on the big fat green vine.
  7. From the fat vine, jump to the slim vine, then into the hole in the wall. You are now directly under the point of interest, and you will discover it. If you fail, glide back to the fat vine or to the super long updraft.
