— Adventure objective

Silent Sands is an adventure in Howling Caves in Gyala Delve. It can be only accessed after successfully completing the Destroy the ravenous wanderer meta event.

Getting there[edit]

Youtube.png Search YouTube for videos related to Silent Sands.

The zip line leading to the adventure can be found at the top of the Point of interest (map icon).png Fossilized Overlook, south of Waypoint (map icon).png Jadepillar Point Waypoint, labelled [Jumping Puzzle]. Using the zip line will lead to a cave entrance, where the adventure can be started by talking to the Jade Brotherhood Miner. The entrance can be also access with flying mounts.

Mechanics[edit]

  • There are four orbs to find throughout the puzzle, and obtaining all four allows you to open the chest on the ground. These orbs can be collected in any order. Gliders and mounts are disabled while in the cave, but so is fall damage.

Walkthrough[edit]

First orb[edit]

Follow the tunnel past the Jade Brotherhood Miner. The first orb is located where the tunnel begins to open out into the main cave containing the jumping puzzle.

Second orb[edit]

Jump down from the left side of the cliff onto the small scaffold below, then jump across the tall broken pillars to reach the larger tilted scaffold. Run across it and jump up the cliff using the struts to reach the second orb located underneath the cherry tree. If you fall, you can climb up the stones on the right side of the entrance to reach the spot where you found the first orb, or reset the adventure.

Third orb[edit]

Jump from the cliff onto the rock below, then hop from rock pillar to rock pillar to reach the third orb located on the large rock pillar. Leap skills can be very helpful here, as the rocks can be slippery, especially the side of the large pillar with the orb. If you fall, it's possible to get back up onto the rock pillars from the rock directly behind the chest.

Fourth orb[edit]

Climb the floating rocks along the ley line until you reach the tail of the giant creature skeleton. Hop onto the tail, then jump and climb up the skeleton until you reach the final orb, located at the end of a second set of floating rocks.

The chest[edit]

Drop down from the fourth orb, and run over to the chest. Fall damage is disabled in the cave so you don't have to worry about finding a safer way down.
